BeautifulTorment Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I'll also add that Eurogamer is reporting that the DL-44 blaster (RIP my favorite Blast weapon choice) and Barrage Star Card have been nerfed. This is definitely a lie. It certainly needs to happen, but definitively has not happened in this most recent patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihiris- Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Hmm, I don't actually get killed by the DL-44 all that much. Now the EE-3, that thing needs a nerf. Burst weapons are usually pretty powerful, but yeah This is definitely a lie. It certainly needs to happen, but definitively has not happened in this most recent patch. Well what I do know is that matches take a lot longer to load now after this patch, anyone else getting that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixones Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Well what I do know is that matches take a lot longer to load now after this patch, anyone else getting that? I'm seeing this after the latest patch, games seem to take a long time to join, or I get stuck on the loading screen and never get into the game.

Bucknerd Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) I'm seeing this after the latest patch, games seem to take a long time to join, or I get stuck on the loading screen and never get into the game. I actually got stuck on a loading screen for fighter squadron before the patch so maybe it's just the game in general and luck of the draw? It didn't happen in this patch. They're still as broken as before. My multiple deaths last night can confirm this. Edited December 3, 2015 by Bucknerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixones Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I actually got stuck on a loading screen for fighter squadron before the patch so maybe it's just the game in general and luck of the draw? It could be though I've never had that problem before the patch, it seems to happen alot on the new map / mode they released yesterday or day before, I keep having to quit Battlefront and start again.

Yup same, I've played the game for over 20 hours prior to Patch 1.03 and I never had the game hang while loading up a match. I also got the infinite loading while trying to connect to a match and had to close the application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
