Developer Comments:
Vehicles: Resolved an issue which would make players invincible after attempting to enter a vehicle.
This occurred after we deployed an update that protects a soldier from being killed at the end of the call-in sequence and they have moved into their vehicle. If the sequence fails there wasn’t a signal sent back to remove this protection.
Personal Shield: Players can now use the shield at the same time as the Jump pack.
Personal Shield: Players can now swap weapons at the same time as the shield is active.
These were unintended effects of some changes we made to the core behavior of the shields. Switching weapons and using the jump pack should absolutely be possible. We are also listening to feedback regarding the charged cards as a whole, and have for the coming Bespin update implement a mean to actively turn the card off. This means you can manually disable your Charge card to push it into cooldown sooner, if no one is around you or you need to fire regular blaster bolts rather than Ion.
Dioxis Grenade: Added a new scoring event for when you deal damage.
Dioxis Grenade: Increased the inner radius from 3 to 4m.
Dioxis Grenade: Increased damage ticks. Increased inner radius damage from 6 to 7. Outer radius damage increased from 4 to 5. A total of 12 health will be dealt each tick when standing in the inner radius.
Overall we were immensely satisfied with the results of the Dioxis grenade, and how the weapon became a denial weapon rather than simply another way to quickly dispatch enemies. With that said, we agree that the weapon was somewhat lacking and the above changes were made with this mind. Again it’s not to make it an exceptionally lethal weapon, but it will cause some more harm as well as rewarding you with points for damaging soldiers who are inside the gas field.
DLT-19X: Removed a moment penalty that would occur when zooming in.
Active Cooling: Made the fields slightly wider to make it easier even on the harder levels
The DLT-19X is a widely discussed weapon. When we designed the weapon we were aware that it was not going to be a weapon that would be for everyone. There were however points of valuable feedback that we felt was important to take into account. Firstly, since the weapon overheats with each blast, the Cooling Flush skill game have been tweaked slightly to lower the difficult level on the two highest levels. Lastly, being closer to a sharpshooter rifle, the DLT-19X initially received a movement penalty even when zooming. In hindsight this didn’t feel in line with how all of our other blasters are built, so we opted to remove it. The challenge is already quite high with the weapon, so it should be as reliable as you’d expect from similar weapons, such as a T-21B.
Ion Detonator: Will explode on impact instead of after a delay.
Ion Detonator: Lowered inner explosion radius from 6 to 2m and the outer explosion radius from 7 to 4m.
Ion Detonator: Lowered the damage multiplier towards soldiers from 0.5X to 0.4X.
This started as a fix where the Ion Grenade wouldn’t hit the Shipments Squad shield though we researched its behavior further. Initially it was built as a grenade that reacts to vehicles, droids and gadgets and then explode on the ground a few second later if it wasn’t triggered. As our core combat loop rarely see the Ion Grenade being used as a mine, we reworked it slightly to explode on impact. It’s effectiveness against vehicles and droids is unchanged, but it can now also be used more reliably against soldiers if needed. It’s naturally not as effective as regular grenades, but now it provides more versatility than before.
Combat Roll: There’s now a 1.5s cooldown.
This was actually a bug and the 1.5 seconds is the intended gameplay. We’re looking at adding a visual cooldown to know when your combat roll is available.
Luke: Increased Health from 925 to 1050
Luke: Increased Blocking time from 4 to 6s
We’re happy with the speed changes to Luke, and the nerf brought him down to the same level as other heroes. He was a little bit low though so we increased his health but also wanted some skill to be involved in his survival and brought up his blocking between the original value and Darth Vader’s.
Greedo: Changed Confidence 1 damage multiplier from 1.4 to 1.3. Confidence 2 damage multiplier from 1.9 to 1.7. Confidence 3 damage multiplier from 2.8 to 2.4
Greedo’s not in a bad spot but he became too powerful against heroes when gaining confidence. This change should make him more balanced and bring him to average numbers.
Keep in mind this bug fix : “Greedo’s confidence levels cooldown’s would not reset properly on a kill, only on non-lethal damage.” It now properly reset on every hit, lethal or not. Which by fixing intended Gameplay, buffs Greedo.
Nien Nunb: Increased Proximity mine cooldown from 8 to 9s
Nien Nunb: Decreased Rapid Pulse Canon damage multiplier to AT-AT from 150% to 100%
Nien Nunb: Increased turret Lock Time from 0.8 to 1
Nien Nunb: Increased Turret Unlocking Time from 0.2 to 0.25
Nien Nunb: Decreased Augmented Turret damage from 22 to 20
Nien Nunb: Decreased Turret damage from 15 to 14
Nien Nunb could really punish an AT-AT if left alone, so we’re taking down the damage multiplier to 100%.His Turret was also too powerful, so we’re changing locking times and damage to give more chance to escape it and stay alive. The change should bring him down closer to other heroes, we will monitor the result and see where he stands for next patch.
Outer Rim: Increased the frequency of Extraction being played in the Outer Rim playlist from 50% to 75%. Two rounds of Extraction will now be played every other round.
Heroes Vs Villains: Decreased rounds required to win from 5 to 3 rounds if played in the Outer Rim playlist
Cargo: Decreased time limit from 15 to 10 minutes if played in the Outer Rim playlist
We're noticing high activity for the Outer Rim playlist with healthy matchmaking across all regions. However, we are seeing a trend where players tend to abandon a playlist most frequently during games of Heroes vs Villains, with Extraction games being the least frequently abandoned by players. As a result, we have upped the frequency of Extraction games being featured in the playlist while tweaking the end conditions of other game modes in the Outer Rim to further decrease the waiting time between Extraction games.
Hero Hunt: Removed the hero selection wheel. Now only showing the score and appointing the top damage dealer to become the next hero.
We like the excitement provided by the hero selection wheel, but agreed with the feedback that players felt extremely frustrated from not getting picked as the hero despite having the highest chance on multiple occasions. This change should retain the excitement of the selection process while ensuring the game mode still fairly rewards the player that does the most damage to the heroes.
One addition:
Walker Assault: AT-AT health tweaks
Sullust 31000 to 35000 = +12% Increase
Jakku 35000 to 50000 = +30% Increase
Hoth 30000 to 40000 = +30% Increase
Endor 60000 to 80000 = +30% Increase
Tatooine 33000 to 40000 = +20% Increase
Level 50 !

Ziet er gaaf uit!
Wat ik alleen niet begrijp is dat er toch teleurstelling schijnt te heersen over dit spel. Zowel vanuit de spelersbase en vanuit EA/Disney zelf?
Omdat het spel niet aan de verwachtingen voldoet en er schijnbaar verhoudingsgewijs veel minder spelers dit spel gekocht hebben dan gedacht?
Disney denkt al aan Battlefront 2 voor volgend jaar? Of toch pas 2018...?
Het komt vooral omdat er geen single player campaign in zit, maar meer een online game is. Viel mij ook tegen idd.
Heb er toch veel plezier in, alleen sinds 22 april niet meer gespeeld. Niet omdat ie zo slecht is, maar meer omdat er wat tegenvallende maps in zitten die ik continu tegenkom, en daar geen zin in heb 😀
Voor mij is het nog steeds een topper !
Vandaag weer een rondje Battlefront gedaan en gespeeld als een Royal Guard 🙂 dat is de vervanger van de Shock Trooper die je kan kiezen als iemand Palpatine speelt. Ook de Bespin Guards kon je kiezen aan de Light Side.
Ik zag de shock trooper nu als character kan nemen als je level 70 bent.
