Personally the microtransaction didn't affect my early game play even when I started back in Nov. Reason being not everyone who bought the game is straight gonna dump USD100-200 into the game to unlock lootbox. Or Asia players who bout the game and straight CC RM300 into loot box. There are those rich people, but not everyone will be doing that.

But nowadays with the game being launched for so long d (Since last November), some people are maxing out the cards already with daily game play. I myself with no microtransaction already reach lvl 28 assault with capalang cards. And still get 2 saber hit and die by a Jedi. The cards do impact the game, but I seen new players without any good cards owning full cards opposite forces before. Not me, but the people I played with.

Don't let the high lvl thing gets to you. It's quite a norm for any games with grinds. Its not that IMBA yet, somethime I think my opponent are just good with headshot and aims

I'm just a casual player who may play once or twice a week. Who don't want to spend money on microtransaction.

With other grind heavy gps games like battlefield/COD. The experience of dying before even a single kill most of the time leaves a bitter taste. Sure can farm a bit but when 70% of the other players is at max Level... why bother.

Give 2 players of similar skill level. One with the best upgraded weapon, the other with the basic weapon and level 1 card/skills. The one with the better weapon/cards will win most of the time.

It's not so bad in battlefront. But I believe a reason to that is the lack of microtransactions. If there are still microtransactions, there will be even more players with better cards. Maybe just 2-5 noobs like me in a GA match and we'll be forced to feed everyone and our progression will be super slow and discouraging.

hi guys, if for a noob like me buying the game now and joining it at this point will it be a turn off? having so many players which have been playing for quite sometime

Is it just me or almost everytime you load up a multiplayer mode it's either an empty lobby or one with a couple of souls in it? Ever since the latest patch. I've had to wait at least 5 minutes for a lobby to fill up...

Hey! Don't worry about being new to the game: a lot of people still are. The game is still hella fun and addicting on its own, especially if you're a Star Wars fan. I myself just got it a week ago and everything's okay. It might be a bit scary to go into multiplayer modes in the beginning, but there's plenty of offline games for you to practice and get used to with so it's not really a problem!

One note though, happy dying as a noob. Practice makes perfect

Yeap.
It's harder to get a match now.
It is not uncommon to go online and to be the only one waiting for a the game.

so what is the next season update?

is there a bug in getting the weapons after completing weapon with 50kills ? i just start playing and i cant claim the reward for new gun after killing 50 soldiers

Connectivity issue. It'll fixed itself in couple of hours, or you could exit and reload the game and try again.

EA going to start to selling Loot boxes again ,but it is only for cosmetic purposes. As for game progression, players need to earn from the game.

Since now PSN is having sales, do you think it is good time to jump in ?

Star Wars battlefront 2 is having sales almost every other month.
2 months ago, it took me 5 minutes + to get a match and I got matched into Empty lobbies occasionally.
Coz of that, I quit.

If it's still this bad, then it's not worth it.

why does it take ages to get a multiplayer match up? -.-

long time no dive in
whats the latest free DLC season?

latest update was the iwok event but still didnt try it yet

Unique, more fun than jetpack cargo IMO.

when is the best time to get a match-up?

I find it easier at night and weekend probably afternoon to night. but as mentioned in previous replies, the game is rather dead compared to Battlefront 1.

They started off wrongly at a very potential game to have toppled COD/BF. Oh well, that's EA for you.

if you're playing in the middle of the night, try changing region to America.
So far so good, always got playable games (as opposed to the Singaporean server where I pretty much just sit in the lobby looking at people come in and out )

How do I change region? Will the game lag? Haha.

If I'm not mistaken, it is in the EA account tab

Yup I found it. Thanks!
