I was doing my Hero Star Card tests when suddenly the Arcade AI Specialist threw a Thermal Detonator. I'll bring footage later, but I think the BUG is pretty straightforward to need video evidence.

How have I never payed attention to this? Now that I think about this, you’re right. They do. If I think about it more, I’m pretty sure that they’ve always done that, even if it’s wrong. I’m having a small mental breakdown as, somehow, I’ve never payed attention to this, even though I’ve definitely seen it. As someone who mainly plays offline, and focuses on offline bugs, I'm surprised I haven’t reported this. Hmm.

Well, there's the Me Too button, so you can allow devs and EA to know it wasn't only me who already experienced this.

 

You imagine my frustrating surprise when I was trying to test BB-8's Trusty Droid Star Card, which requires him to have his Resistance Backing (revealing ability) active, while killing an enemy (which he can only do in very close quarters, and the Arcade AI loves to walk away from you), while being in at most 4m of distance from his ally (4m is very short), and his ally must be damaged (and it had to be a specialist, who has full regen, because only the specialist in the LS can see meters ingame), and when I was finally with everything set, the enemy AI Specialist threw a thermal detonator at us killing my Specialist teammate.

 

If all that setup wasn't hard enough, now I had to deal with Specialists throwing Thermals. I couldn't use Assault only because they would throw detonators, nor could I use Heavy only because they melt fast. So I had to choose Officer&Specialist only, and to my surprise thermals were tossed at us ('us' is me controlling 2 characters, one with M&K and the other with a PS3 controller).

 

It was a nightmare, but I managed to test the card.

Oops. I meant to click the “Me Too” button. I went to check this out on the PS4 and then completely forgot to come back. My brain works about as good as this game sometimes. Standard smile
