Heroes & Villains not always available even with enough Battle Points

Product: Star Wars Battlefront II
Platform:Microsoft XBOX One
What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug Hero/Villains are always available! This issue has been going on for some time. After collecting 6000 to 8000+ battle points and you try to get a hero or villain, they appeared greyed out. I have been the 1st to get to 6000+ battle point on numerous occasions and have been shocked why the hero class was greyed out. This has also happened when 1 or 2 heroes have been taken and I have had 8000+ battle points, yet the other 6 heroes were STILL greyed out and others in our group could not figure out why this was happening. There are times if you wait 20-60 seconds in the troop selection screen, the hero or villain would appear. Other times, it would appear and disappear quickly. This behaviour is very random and it would be nice if it could be addressed. Additional context can be provided if required. Thanks

    This is actually not a bug, it's because there are limits on how many heroes are available in certain phases.  

    I've always wondered about SA, though, that the light side always gets 3 hero ships and the dark side only gets 2.  Given the power and resilience of the MF in its 3 forms, I've always wondered if this imbalance was intentional or a glitch that has just been ignored for half a year.

    Yes I believe @Alliecat7803 is quite right this does not sound like a bug. Also it's worth mentioning that battlepoints used to get reinforcements, hero's etc are not the same as your score. Dependant upon the GA you are in there are certain ways to amass battle points and this will be at a faster rate than your score. The best way tends to be not dying. If you consider people also using bounty hunter cards which at epic grants 20% increase in battle point gained, it means that if played correctly with as little as around 3-4000 score you can already exceed 6000 battle points and get a hero. For example when defending as the clones(except Kamino in this example) if you use a heavy trooper with epic bounty hunter card, you can get 6000+ battle points by firing 2 of the ion weapons at the MTT and using the entirety of your sentry on it both times without dying. Your score will not necessarily be anywhere near 6000. That is why sometimes the player in 4th for example will be able to get hero's before players above them on the scoreboard. On all GA's there is a limit of two heroes per team until the final stage where you then get 4 heroes per team. There is a cool down on the heroes in GA after they have been used I would say it is around 30 seconds but have never actually timed it as you don't really get the time to at the rate the heroes get taken during the game(the reason why sometimes they flash on and grey out very quickly).
