Arcade Mode is not what was wanted. Full game against BOTS is what is wanted

@EA_Atic

Thank you very much for the reply, and letting all of us know EA is engaged in this idea. Please keep it up. I'll buy Star Wars BF2 if FULL OFFLINE MULTIPLAYER can be implemented. If EA truly wants profit, they should know that they will make more money if they engage ALL players... Solo and online.

Regarding adding full multiplayer: Online players won't stop paying just because they can access a full game offline; They will continue to pay for online content, so I don't think EA would be hurting profit by adding full offline multiplayer.. Quite the opposite. Solo players (which definitely account for part of SWBF2's decrease in sales compared to SWBF1) will actually see it as a good investment. EA can gain back that consumer base AND keep the same sales numbers from online multiplayer, or perhaps even higher numbers since Full Offline will allow online players to experience high-level weapons, perks, and heroes which would incentivize them to attain these same things in a more competitive online atmosphere.

What we wanted was like 100v100 games instead of pathetic 20v20 "GALACTIC ASSAULT" in small, linear maps...

I would love to have the multiplayer experience offline. I want to experience the full game with all mods alone or in splitscreen. My trouble with all the statements that EA or DICE has made in the past is that it’s just words. Just words but no actions. Like we can’t commit to it today is saying maybe we gonna do it. Just confirm that you gonna do it and tell us when we gonna get the update. The fans asked for a great offline experience like Conquest again and again. And all we got is a statement saying, it does make sense or we see how we can do it. It feels like it’s 50/50 if the offline mode is really gonna be released. Please EA/ DICE just do it. Just confirm it’s gonna happen 100%!!! That’s what I wanna hear.

Wow, I am amazed. Thank You @EA_Atic.

However, if this is going to actually be added. It needs to be the SAME as the multiplayer, an exact copy of the entire multiplayer modes, just offline against bots. All ships, hero's/villains and modes. ALL of it. PLEASE!!!

And, we still need to be able to earn points/credits by playing it. And, please don't limit us to how many we can earn doing it. Why should I not be able to earn or unlock things playing against bots the same as other people do online if I choose to?  

The deal is. Not everyone thrives in an online or competitive environment, I am one of them. I really want to ENJOY this game, but frankly, I can't because of the online being skill based. I often don't even hit 5000 points by the end of a round. I rarely EVER get to be a Hero, if one is even available by the time I actually get that many points, or the round it not over/ending by then. I really don't get to enjoy what this game has to offer, because it is so skill based on how many points you earn by getting kills and accomplishing things online. If I only get 5 kills in an entire match and die 20 times, how am I having fun? I am not. So, I really don't play the game much at all because of these things. There are times, like two days ago, where I logged in and went to a Galactic Conquest game but was killed 4 times within two minutes of starting the match. I couldn't do anything, but obviously get frustrated. So, I just logged out and quit playing. That is just NOT fun. I come home from working 10 hours, I want to relax and enjoy myself. Not get decimated by skilled or cheating players. 

Adding the multiplayer game to be allowed to be played offline with bots would really make a LOT of people happy and have us playing this game daily. I would allow us to experience all it has to offer without all the problems and hindrances. 

Thank, you.

It doesn't help that Galactic Assault literally gives you no incentive to play as a team, the payout for defending or attacking objectives is punitive compared to just farming kills in the air or killing enforcers, aerial troops or anything that gives you more points than actually playing as a team, and yes this is the case because I have consistently been playing the objective and getting a dozen or so kills and still don't even break 6,000 points each game, meanwhile the guy who ran around in an a-wing farming ai bots and strafe running receives 20-40k points.

You hardly get anything for playing as an officer either especially when boosted teammates you should receive assist points or at least something more than teamplay points at such low amount. I've since switched to blast because you know I play the objective and that's killing people and a receive a much better payout in xp and credits than wasting my time with Galactic Conquest which needs work big time.

So yes I can understand why people would much rather have offline modes which should have been implemented since day one.

Half my reason for wanting the entire game with bots is because I am just not that good obviously. I rarely EVER get a Hero. Unless I can be a Sniper and be far off where I can do well, I am just going to not do very well. I am not good at close quarters play in this game, I just die a lot. 

I played today for a few matches and actually got Yoda, once, and died within 1 min of getting him...as I usually do when getting a Hero/Villain. So, I never get to enjoy them anyway because every single time I get the option to use one, I just die quickly. Every single time I have ever actually be able to be one, I just die right off the bat. 

Playing normally, I am usually in the bottom 6 of a match, so I just can't have fun online against actual people because the skill level is all over the place. Once in awhile I can make it in the middle section of the list, but rarely ever. I just don't do well online. I really dislike playing against skilled players who just kill you repeatedly.  

I would rather be able to pick the skill level of the bots, and play and ENJOY the game. This game just frustrates me to no end because I could be having so much fun if I could just play the multiplayer against bots of my hardness choosing.

Many people are very good at these games and just ruin it for the people that aren't.

I am practically begging at this point for them to implement this soon.

Definitely understand Kulas's perspective here.

And to be fair, PVE is where battlefront got its origins. Beating up bots was 90% of what the original battlefront was unless you had buddies to split screen against. And it was a big hit!

I can definitely understand how people would want to get on a hero and go slashing through like it was a game of Dynasty Warriors. While I don't think that's healthy for the PvP part of the game, it is perfectly acceptable for PvE.

I'm not opposed to being able to unlock weapons and attachments in PvE for use in PvP even. I'm not willing to suffer through hours of struggling on a specialist to get the NT-242. But if I could slaughter bots for a few hours to get it, I'd probably consider it.

After i canceled my preorder at newegg. I picked up the 2005 game from steam. I lost my disk in a move. Its a blast. Played 20 hours with my son offline so far. If they ever add a full offline multiplayer i will buy the game and probably a copy for him as well. Since i currently dont let him play online. Until then we will play the old one. We both have the 2015 version. He has it on his xbox one and i have a copy not istalled on origin. So please take my 120 bucks.

Yeah I feel the same way their is no skirmish mode for flying vehicles I just don't understand EA. The graphics are good but the Multiplayer sucks that's why people like skirmish modes to play against bots especially flying the Falcon or Lukes X-Wing but you decided not to put it in the game of skirmish forget arcade mode. EA when will you listen to the fans. 

[KulasDevorn]

So, imagine us being able to do this The Last Jedi event offline against bots and still earn requirements towards the challenge?

Yes, that is what I want. Because it would take me an eternity to get the challenge done online in the multiplayer against people. I played 4 matches of Galactic Conquest, which is about an hour of game time, and got a grand total of 20 kills all together. You see, not everyone is so good at playing against other well skilled players. With that kill count equation this would take me about 10 hours of playing GC to get the 50 kills on each trooper. NOT going to happen. 

I was wanting to do this event, but not going to be able to get the 50 kills on each trooper because that would take me forever. Not everyone is so skilled online to be able to finish these challenges. Letting us earn them against bots in an environment we can actually thrive in is needed.
