The fuck? Boba's hit points weren't reduced? With the Jet Pack, avoiding damage is so very easy... He will be still the best Empire hero in most maps. Fuck.

Also, the fucking Ion Torp nerf. How the fuck am i going to kill A-Wings now?

Yeah, that makes no sense to me. Playing as Rebels on foot in Walker Assault will suck now.

Also increasing the cooldown time for seemingly every card doesn't make much sense.

The homing shots are freakin OP.

Most bloody annoying thing in the game lol.

Patch notes look pretty cool but no mention of a nerfed A-Wing and buffed Tie Fighters to balance out the air. Also, March is a long time to wait for real new maps though I suppose turning point on all maps will help a little.

I don't mind the CDs, they're now closer to what they should have been from the beginning to prevent spam.

Just... why the fuck the Ion Torpedo nerf? It isn't like it was terribly useful but it was the only effective counter to A-Wings. No more.

I'm cool with that. Though I guess I should eventually renew my PS+

EDIT: Wait, Outer Rim...does that mean a chance at Mos Eisley returning like in the first two Battlefront games?

Cloud City???

If they have Supremacy on Bespin then I'll 100% buy that pack. Don't think I'm interested in Jabba's Palace or another Sullust map.

I read the notes, and perhaps I glanced over it, but are there no changes to fighter squadron outside of MF and Slave I getting health reductions?

It's not a hard gun to use. People rarely miss with it. I think they should nerf it to a 3-shot kill instead of 2 with an overheat after the second shot.

I agree that it needed to be 3 shot and the damage drop off should start a lot closer too.

I guess DICE didn't want to nerf it too hard in one go. Probably will get nerfed again in March if it's still too dominating.

No mention about the region lock being removed.. So, more stuff that I won't be able to play.

Edit:

Or does this mean that I'll be able to select data cernters?

Still have yet to pick up the game, but it's cool that they're putting out a Death Star map. Loved playing on it in Battlefront 2, so hopefully DICE's version is just as fun.

Also, still no word on prequel era content? I want to play on Kamino :/.

Jabba better be a villain we can play as :p

Seems like a good update, and I can stop being annoyed at Luke's outfit when playing on Hoth :p

I'm assuming private games are different to bot matches, right? Bot Matches is all I want left (other than my season pass maps and a few balance issues)

I know they had already indicated a while back that there would probably be no Episode 7 content. Still disappointing.

Starkiller maps could have been very cool, along with Rey/Finn/Phasma/Kylo (and maybe old man Han palette swap) as heroes.

The free stuff sounds okay, and some of those nerfs were sorely needed (nothing for the A wing is baffling though).

Season pass doesn't sound all that enticing. Maybe when I'm getting hyped up for episode 8 in 2017, the pass will be heavily discounted. I'd pick it up cheap then (assuming enough people are still playing the game on PC).

How do you all think the new maps will work on bigger game modes?

Jabba's Palace: I assume the palace will be just a part of the map--maybe a centerpiece or something, and we'll get to explore the area around

Cloud City: I have to assume this will just be a huge urban map--do you think we'll have Walker Assault/AT-ATs? Maybe just Turning Point and Supremacy?
Death Star: Another "urban" map--would AT-ATs be patrolling the Death Star??

y'all should be ashamed
Bespin! YESSSSSSSSS!

I wonder if they'll update the card game on the iOS app. Kinda the only reason I'm still playing, hah.
