Update on next Patch

[EA_Atic]

Hey everyone,

We wanted to give you a quick update on where we are with regards to the next patch for Star Wars Battlefront II.

The patch is currently being worked on and will contain a variety of bug fixes, tweaks, and improvements. This patch will also make a change to the requirement for the Darth Maul Old Master Appearance.

The current plan here is to change the criteria required. Instead of requiring you to defeat 5,000 opponents as Darth Maul we will be changing it be 5,000 opponents as any Dark Side hero. A Light Side equivalent of this will also be put in place for the Farmboy Luke and Princess Leia appearances.

We are still working to lock down a release date, however, we can confirm it will not be next week. Unfortunately, as the team adjusts to working from home, this has caused a knock on in terms of release timing.

As always, we thank you all for your continued support. Stay safe, and may the Force be with you.

@EA_Atic Will the new challenge look into stats from the past few years, I saw Ben mentioned something along those lines. Would it be worth working on Dark Side kills now?

Will this also apply to the Obi Wan, Yoda and Grievous voice line milestones?

@EA_Atic

Please can you confirm whether this will apply to all new emote / skin milestones?

You said you realized your vision with this game, and it's become clear that your vision is blurry at best.

It seems pretty obvious that you are keeping the kills at 5,000 so people keep playing, making the servers active, and making it appear that the game isn't a complete failure for EA and allowing Lucas to renew the Star Wars deal with EA. I recon it's the only reason you've stayed with this game for as long as you have, because you seem to give up on almost every other title you pump out from the EA machine.
