Opening comments

Hello there,

We are planning to release a small patch this week, which will include fixes for a number of issues as well as a few requested tweaks.

Feedback around our Auto Player AI system has been met with a lot of positivity, but one of the biggest bits of feedback that we’ve received revolves around how the AI look, In this patch we will be implementing a change that will ensure all troopers and heroes are dressed in any planet-specific appearances across the Age of Rebellion planets. Alongside this, we are adding randomization of head options for Officers within Co-Op.

Rounding out the AI tweaks is the ability for Ewok Hunters Auto Players to now perform the spear melee attack.

There are a number of fixes arriving into this update, which include the visual issue where inaccurately high numbers were shown under the player damaged UI element. We know you are strong with the Force, but you are not 750,000 pieces of damage strong.

In the Age of Rebellion Update we introduced a change to the Scoreboard which would show the class level of everyone in the match. A visual issue would sometimes occur where all the levels would be based on your own, this has now been fixed.

Within Co-Op we have identified and fixed an issue that would cause the AI to only take one route on Jabba’s Palace. Once the patch arrives the AI will now take multiple routes, meaning you can no longer sit at one doorway while defending.

A couple of matchmaking issues have also been addressed, starting with a fix that will address the problem that would occasionally cause a game server to place everyone onto the same team. We once again thank you for your continued support and look forward to seeing you on the battlefront.
