Interceptor Star Card Rarity Swapped

★★ Apprentice

Product: Star Wars Battlefront II
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug After the latest patch, The rarity of cards for the Interceptor has swapped. Elite Pilot(Epic) and Fire Control Cycler(Rare) rarity swapped. This now made the Elite Pilot I had equipped a Rare and the Fire Control Cycler that I didn't have equipped a Epic. 2 other friends noticed similar issues with their Interceptor cards. I was even killed by an interceptor and he had two Epics and an Uncommon card equipped, which is unusual as most people with Epic cards would not also have uncommon equipped.

For me, this will all correct itself after I gain Skill Points and apply them to my original cards.  However, some people may be affected worse.

My epic tuned lasers swapped values with a rare tactical jammer.

My purple tactical jammer card was downgraded to white, and a white card was switched to purple.  Like rattler said, it doesn't really break the game for me, I'll have the interceptor levelled up again real soon, but it could be indicative of other problems that occurred during this update.  This is one of those bugs that makes me scratch my head...like somebody had to needlessly mess with something in the code for the interceptor cards for this to happen.  (Makes me think of the old joke where computer programmers are promised a bonus for every bug they find and fix, so they write a lot of bugs into the code on purpose, in order to get a lot of bonuses.)

Check your SA star cards. In fact check them all. Some have been modified. Make your claim now before you change any card with a skill point as they may reset and you will get squat for your efforts.

Would not use skill points on any cards yet...

Had the same problem on the Xbox One, though I don't see what card it swapped with. It's my Fire Control Cycler card. It was up at epic and now it's down to green (uncommon?) I thought green was rare but maybe that's uncommon.

The best way they can fix this problem is to simply grant us all enough interceptor skill points to rank our star cards back up to where we had them. Like just give everyone 4 or 5 SP for their troubles. Lol

I love it. Only issue with that is, that if you are not ranked with Interceptor enough, you won't be able to upgrade the card back to Epic. I only had 3 rares and was ranked 18. Not sure how high you need to be to use the SP's to get Epic fix.

People have reported this issue a few times, but this description is particularly accurate.  As the poster notes, the rarity of Elite Pilot and Fire Control Cycler are swapped for Interceptor.  This explains why my damage rate felt like it had dropped, as my Fire Control Cycler dropped from Rare from Common, and Elite Pilot (which I don't use) went from Common to Rare.
