I’ve been playing on Kyber for a while now, and my preferred class is heavy, with because I like the playstyle it’s meant to cater towards, yet I feel like it’s just not up to par with the other classes, both with weapons and Star Cards. Therefore, I wanted to submit my feedback on the class, with suggested changes for anything I thought I could confidently talk about. If I don’t mention a specific weapon or Star Card or weapon in my feedback, it is because I deemed it something I do not have enough information on to form a confident opinion. General Suggestions Increase the base health of the Heavy class. Having the same amount of health as every other class just doesn’t make sense. Especially when two other classes have ways to one-shot you, who is supposed to be the tank of the classes. I think a base health of 200 is good, because it means that you won’t just get one shot by snipers or Vanguard ability users who you can’t really defend against as a Heavy, even though they’re two of the most common things in the game. Boost Cards: Defender: Honestly not bad for players who want to grind score points rather quickly. Personally I don’t use it because if I wanted score points I would use Officer, but it gives people the option to play Heavy while aiming towards heroes or other score based options. I don’t think anything needs to be changed here. Brawler: This is a pretty useless card all things considered. It’s reliant on a very specific action that is both rare and unpredictable enough that there’s no real reason to use it as there are simply better options. If you want this to be a viable card, you need to cater it towards each class. For Heavy, I think a health boost when you’re within a certain distance of an enemy would be a good addition alongside what it already does, giving you more survivability in melee and also just in close quarters in general. Bodyguard: In theory this card is good, but in practice it doesn’t help much. The damage reduction comes in too late more often than not, and all that changes is perhaps someone needs to shoot you two more times rather than once, which with how many weapons in the game shoot decently fast, doesn’t give you much opportunity. Once again this would be class dependent, but for Heavy I think the card either needs to have an increased damage reduction or have it take effect earlier, at perhaps half health or the like. Marksmen: This card just isn’t all that helpful for the Heavy class. Almost none of our weapons are reliably able to hit headshots, not like those of the Specialist class, so it’s once again a bit of a waste of a card for what we get as a result of using it. My suggestion for a Heavy version of this card is that if we get a headshot kill we automatically get the gold cooling bar. Another option is that it just becomes a passive card that just makes heat build up slower or makes the cooldown of our blaster faster. Resourceful: A solid card that passively helps with a multitude of different Heavy abilities. Nothing to change here. Bounty Hunter: Same as the Defender card, I don’t use it, but it can be good if someone wants more score. Nothing to change here. Expert Weapons Handling: This one is weird. It relies on you getting the gold cooling bar which is not a thing you can reliably do most of the time. It’s good if you can more reliably get that cooling bar though, so my suggestion for this one is to either have this card also make it easier to get the gold cooling, or follow through with my one Marksmen card suggestion which gives the player two potential ways to get the gold cooling themselves. (I’m not sure if this card works when you get the gold cooling as a result of an Officer, but even then that isn’t something reliable to make the card worthwhile either).
Would be cool if there was one extra official server that hosted Blast, Strike/Extraction, and maybe Ewok Hunt (also Starfighter Assault in the future) with BF+. All of these modes are not played that often, and when people do host them people do not join as these servers appear on the last few pages of the server lists. A singular official server for these modes would mean they would always appear at the top of the server list, encouraging people to join them more often. This is a suggestion I’ve seen several people talk about on Discord. Battlefront Plus adds new content to all of these modes as well, such as new reinforcements, and new mechanics in the case of Ewok Hunt (flashlight battery). There was also a teaser recently posted for the V-19 Torrent that showed off the new starfighter in Starfighter Assault, giving a potential reason for the mode to be part of this server too.
With extra damage from weapons (1.5x, etc.) or capping hp at 100? Would be nice to get some variety in gamemodes. Loving Kyber so far.
The current pictures used aren’t even from the same maps, and just feel weird to have (a picture of a Starfighter Assault being used for a Supremacy map!!! Unforgivable!!). I think they should be replaced with more representative pictures of the map. Supremacy Jakku should reuse the picture it uses for its selection in Galactic Assault. Pipeline Junction West is a different map from Galactic Assault Geonosis though, so it would need new pictures. I took some as an example of what could be used instead of a picture of just the ship (feel free to use them)
I love the fact that you added Hunter but come on… no Wrecker? no Tech? and finally no OMEGA???
The Core Issue The current state of reinforcement spam, massive damage reduction, and inflated HP pools is breaking the fundamental gameplay loop. It actively punishes Hero/Villain play and disrupts the Battle Point (BP) economy. 1. Hero Gameplay Loop Imbalanced Matchups: Heroes and Villains currently struggle to eliminate basic reinforcements in 1v1 scenarios due to stacked damage reduction. Unfair Scaling: When surrounded by even two reinforcements, a Hero's survival rate drops drastically, erasing the "power fantasy" of earning a hero. Time-to-Kill (TTK): High HP pools drag out fights, leaving Heroes exposed to constant chip damage that they cannot recover. 2. Broken Battle Point Economy Low Return on Investment: Players spend significant BP to activate a Hero, only to be easily shut down by cheaper, spammable units. Reinforcement Spam: The low cost and high availability of reinforcements mean the battlefield is constantly flooded with tanky units, rendering standard infantry irrelevant. Risk vs. Reward: The high risk of playing a Hero does not match the low reward of trying to clear objectives locked down by high-HP reinforcements. Suggested Solutions & Resolutions Implement Strict Team Limits: Limit reinforcements to a maximum of 4 or 5 active per team at any given time, mirroring the current system that limits heroes to 2 at a time. Introduce Scaling Caps: Implement strict caps on how much damage reduction can stack from buffs and abilities. Adjust BP Costs: Increase the BP cost of reinforcements to prevent immediate respawning and spamming of these units. Tweak Hero vs. Reinforcement Damage: Give Heroes a native damage multiplier against reinforcements to restore their offensive viability
Vanilla game runs normally on my pc and everything is fine, when joining Galactic Assault specially on the Naboo map everything goes normal at first but at the final phases the game has sudden freezes and normal units become invisible for like a minute but i can move, heroes and reinforcementes become invisible but cant move, this also happens in the Kashyyyk map and sometimes on Kamino, i dont think this has something to do with my graphic settings as i put them on low and its still happening, idk, help
I wanted to make a rant particularly about Bossk I was playing Supremacy and defending as the CIS so I pick Bossk and it’s insane how much he sucks He cannot Snipe (single shot high rate of fire now) He cannot Jump He cannot Heal (it said he could, but his health sat at 77 for a while and didn’t heal Not sure what other Nerfs there were, but he is basically unplayable and totally sucks, why? This isn’t the only issue Kyber chose to create in their overzealous modding of the game Supremacy only last 2 or so boardings now? people can be afk 10 minutes and not get kicked several overpowered characters like the night sisters that are nearly impossible to kill Shadow troopers can turn invisible and take 0 damage so as a normal character you have 0 defense against a guy running up to you and hitting you to death (200iq addition to game) night sisters and some other jedi type characters have these flying orb attacks that you basically have to run away from or dodge to avoid them hitting you, just feels like the modders got a little trigger happy and started adding in stupid stuff that makes the game worse GA is horrible on Kyber because the team who has to defend AKA shoot the big walker or transports almost never does defend because when you play as an enforcer or special class you cannot use the ion disruptors and Kyber has added in several of these new classes or characters im not sure of the limit allowed to be played but it seems like 10 of the 20 players can be playing as them plus 2 heroes so you have what feels like almost the whole team not playing an Objective which IMO just ruins the game compared to vanilla which has both less special classes and the players seems to actually know how to play while Kyber players are in la la land The bots are weirdly deadly the moment they see you its just aimbot on you I’m happy with a lot of things especially moderation and bug fixes+ new weapons classes and characters to play as all very cool but it feels like too much has been done at times and the devs forgot how to properly balance the game. The v7 special events on weekends are a semi answer to this but still
When hosting a server, you drag the sliders to add bots, toggle whether they ignore players, etc. But as soon as the map changes, the settings reset. (Example: add 16×16 bots to both teams, play the map, map changes and the bot count goes to 0. Now you have to redrag sliders to add bots again) Make it keep all settings the same until: 1) The setting is manually changed 2) The server is shutdown causing settings to go to default
I get a lot of lag on the Chicago server but when I switch to Virginia it is really smooth even though the latency is higher on VA. I figured it might just be that the server is overloaded so I tested it this morning while there aren’t many players and the Chicago server is still laggy. I’ve noticed other people complaining about lag in matches so I assume they are also connected through Chicago. Just wanted to make sure ya’ll know about this. Thanks for making Kyber! Having a blast with it!
To start off, I just want to say that I am very grateful to experience Kyber. I haven’t played BF2 (PSN player) for..I don't know how long. Maybe 2 years??.I just got tired of it. It got really repetitive…But then I downloaded Kyber a month ago and I am hooked all over again. Thank you for taking the time to create this masterpiece. —------------------------ I do not find enjoyment in playing Empire. I dread it every single time I see I’m on the Empire side cause I know what’s gonna happen…an L. Rebels are broken AF. If I could see my win/ratio for all eras and their sides, Empire would undoubtedly be my lowest. I know that in Vanilla, the Empire is the one that is busted… but they only have one broken reinforcement (Death trooper) in vanilla. If you stack those, it’s gg…but there’s a limit since it’s just one reinforcement. Plus, it’s mainly only an issue on days where the lower battle point event is taking place (Thursday-Friday). Thankfully, Kyber doesn’t partake in those special event days And frankly…there is no point to…when rebels have not just one…but multiple broken reinforcements in kyber. They damage heroes like it’s nothin. Especially the rebel pilot. The Death Trooper is literally the coughing baby (kyber version) vs hydrogen bomb (vanilla version) meme. He’s fun to use and I like the change…but he can’t do anything to the rebel reinforcements with his current damage output. No one on empire side can take on a rebel reinforcement, unless you are a hero, but even then, you have a great chance of getting cooked by 1-2 reinforcements alone Despite this however….you nerfed Death Trooper and increased the battle points for him in this new update?????? Why? No one used him. I personally started to use DT (Death Trooper) within the last week or so (before update) because I realize it’s been the most decent when it comes to DEALING DAMAGE to rebel reinforcements……notice how I said “dealing damage” and not “killing” And while I’m making this post, I mine as well address Clone Jet vs Droid Jet. I know people have a problem with Jet troopers…but all I’m asking for is proper balancing… In vanilla, I can go crazy with Clone Jet or Droid Jet. The difference is their movement speed. Whether I am facing Droid or Clone Jet while being the opposing one, it’s a battle based on movement and aiming However, in Kyber, while playing as Clone Jet, I find myself avoiding any interaction with a Droid Jet, let alone, with any other CIS reinforcement for that matter, as I soon realized that the gun you replaced on my Clone Jet is extremely bad. It is not a fair balance to give me a mid-blaster and let the droid jet keep their wrist blaster at the same damage output they have in vanilla. I can do just fine on Droid Jet in kyber, but it’s the complete opposite if I’m clone jet. Most times, it almost felt like I was weaker than a base class. And I sure can aim.I have the stats, videos, clips, and ppl who can vouch for that in Supremacy/GA lobbies. So it aint no skill issue —----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I ultimately want one thing for both of these complaints: To have a proper balance. That’s all. I’m not asking for Clone Jet troopers to be OP like they are in vanilla I’m not asking for Empire to have broken reinforcements just like the rebels in kyber (that would simply make going hero pointless and a horrible time for both sides) I’m just asking for there to be a balance of things
Maybe could add a toggle button to show or hide the console when joining a server since sometimes it is annoying having it popup in the screen.
Sometimes people host servers using an older version of a mod (example-using HvV 1v1 beta2 instead of latest version) and it does not automatically download that version even though it is listed in the mod browser and available to download.
it should be nice if we can have this selection by default, whatever mod we play and not usable only with BF+. I mean “ the custom maps variants “ access by everyone with one click just by launching bf2 with kyber with no mod collection
There are the Official servers and Custom servers. Add a server type something like Dedicated for the dedicated servers.
Hey guys, I cannot access the server to get to the test probably because my discord got hacked a couple months back and it sent phishing pictures to all my contacts and server channels. So I probably got a ban from that. I burnt everything down and it is fixed so I’d be glad if I could get an unban or just the link maybe ? Both Battlefront 2 are my favorite multiplayer games of all time so I’d really really like to check what you guys are doing over there. Thanks a lot, Have a nice day.
Hi Devs! 👋 I think everything is great so far, the last two updates have really made the servers much more stable, and I don't experience any lag anymore. Keep up the good work! 😉 On the other hand, I have a suggestion: Would you bring back the mixed game modes? I liked it better because it added variety to the experience, but now that everyone is playing Conquest, that's all there is and can become repetitive over time. I think it would be really good because there aren't that many players now and you often see empty servers. And anyway, it would be pointless to run 4 servers until the end of the playtest if only 1-2 are full at most. I know this because I'm a veteran player, and 85% of players play GA all the time, so I know... (for me it's 90% GA and 10% HVV). So it would be good to keep the same rotation as now (although with a slight change): 2 GA + 1 Conquest That would be perfect! What do you think? 😃
Server listings now have a report button. Yay! However, clicking the report button defaults to “hacking” as the report reason. I think it would be helpful to have an option labeled “Inappropriate Server Details.” If not that, it should at least default to “other.”
