So are they seriously going to give the same amount of XP to every member of a team regardless of individual performance? If so what a joke!

I was really looking forward to this game on release, and even pre-ordered it due to getting a good deal at Target getting it at ~$40; which I normally never do. I cancelled my pre-order and will be watching how they address the concerns of the game.

40+ hours to unlock a hero is an absolute joke, and apparently the DLC heroes will cost even more: https://comicbook.com/gaming/2017/11/12/star-wars-battlefront-ii-future-dlc-characters/

ON one hand I understand all the hate, it is dumb to do that.

But as an old school gamer, look at some of the requirements to get a ribbon in old Battlefield 2.
Before the nerf, which took like a year, you needed like 1000 hours of flying a chopper or driving a tank to get the highest ribbon.

example (just from website, so I assume it is current / updated requirements)
War College Ribbon
� 100 hours command time
� 200 wins
� 25,000 command points

If the game is good enough, I can see easily spending the time to unlock them.

Would this be as big of an issues if you had ZERO other way to get them? As in no paying for enough boxes.

I understand people want Vader and Luke ASAP.
I understand how people are looking at EA doing it to the most iconic characters...
...but...I didnt instantly have access to my highest level ability in Assassin Origins. I got nearly 40 hours into that (level 38 now).
I had to grind...or play the game a lot. To which I played the game and it never felt like a grind.

It takes around 40+ hours to unlock chars like vader. This is just one char...

Do ribbons do anything? Can that be compared to a gameplay affecting unlock like a hero?

 

[PermaG]

No.
My point is, if the game is good enough, players will spend enough time to unlock things.

Problem they have is they locked the most iconic characters (so you know everyone wants them instantly), in a game you pay full price for...with the ability to bypass by paying up.

In response to fan feedback from the Play First Trial, Electronic Arts has announced it will reduce the amount of credits required to unlock top-tier heroes in Star Wars Battlefront II by 75 percent.


"Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader will now be available for 15,000 credits; Emperor Palpatine, Chewbacca, and Leia Organa for 10,000 credits; and Iden at 5,000 credits." DICE executive producer John Wasilzyk said in a post on EA's official site.

Ok here is the first review I just read:

Horribly short and horribly disjointed single player story that has too far narrative jumps with zero character connections but still fun.

Worst multiplayer ability progression system in the history of videogames via their starcard system. Frustrating and tedious are an understatement.

Class upgrades locked to ability starcard progression and not length of play in that class (always my biggest wtf lol)

Space dogfights while gorgeous looking and fun requires zero tactical skills all based on who can lock on faster.

Bottom Line:

Overall if you are a Star Wars fanatic it is still a must own because it is still a blast to play inspite of the worst ability progression system in the history of videogames.

May the Force be with you.

Played 10 hours and already in Love with it. I'll be back at it tonight when the DELUXE version kicks off

Completing the campaign earned players a unique loot crate that contained 20,000 credits. That reward is now 5,000 credits.

Get out that’s in there.

Awesome lol

 

[koonfasa]

No, I didn't mean that, but yeah that coulda made up for everything they did wrong...

 

[jye4ever]

Oh damn what a horrible tease lol

 

[Deedzy]

Seriously **** this game, **** EA and anyone who buys this in its current state or pays to win should hang their head in shame. Years of apathy towards horrible tactics employed by publishers have led to this and we only have ourselves to blame.

I'm 40 now and have gamed since the day dad bought home an Atari for my brothers and I but I'm done. This generation of gaming has been particularly disappointing but this is the last straw for me.
I've cancelled my pre order and I hope the majority of you do the same. They've cut the cost of Vader and Luke? Big woop! The progression system still stinks and you guys know it so don't fall for this "change of heart".

Don't be a sucker!

meh while I get what you’re saying and I agree for the most part it’s a great looking fun SW game and since i’m not in it for competitive reasons i’m just going to sit back and enjoy while some choose to give themselves an aneurism over it.
