Please select your region North AmericaAMD or Nvidia Model Number This is an incredibly annoying bug, as you try to dodge away and sometimes dodge directly into the enemy!BTW - This was happening before the Dooku release. I finally got around to reporting it. 🙂

@DarthFDG Yeah, this BUG is old, I don't know why I didn't report it earlier, but I suppose there are so many bugs I had forgotten about this one.This actually happens when you get immobilized by an enemy and dodges right when you get released. When you do this you'll always dodge in the opposite direction that you're trying to dodge (left becomes right, forward becomes backwards, etc.). It's an annoying BUG indeed, especially on maps that you can fall (like kashyyyk)

@DarthFDG @EA_Atic Ok, after doing some tests because of the Dodge Attacks that were "fixed" in this patch, I found an even better way to reproduce this BUG here.Hold the attack button and then spam the default dodge as fast as possible (so just the dodge button, no directions). The first one shall behave correctly dodging you backwards, but soon you'll start dodging forward everytime.Can you test this and confirm if it happens on your ends too? It's 100% reproducible here, tested several times already.

@EA_Atic Ok, got one easily reproducible case:The situation is the following: As Rey I first dodge backwards, the default dodge by only pressing the dodge button once and nothing more. This is to signal the dodge I'm going to use, the default dodge. I then get Rey back into position and:- Freeze her with Kylo (and as Rey I start to spam the dodge button with no direction input, which should dodge rey backwards);- Then proceed as Kylo to hit her in the back, producing a hard stagger.The BUG is then triggered and the dodge goes to the wrong direction.I'm still unsure of more specifics, but this case is somewhat easy to reproduce. I have tried with other directions and it seems to affect them all.I hope this helps on getting rid of this BUG once and for all. Yet another Day 1 BUG never solved.

Great reproduction of the bug.It would be even more obvious if it showed that she erroneously dodges into the opponent's lightsaber, as has happened to me many times. LOL

It's 100% reproducible here, tested several times already.Not sure what patch you're referring to, as I don't see any release notes about a dodge fix.When I hold down attack and dodge, it pretty much goes in the direction it should whether I hold a direction key or not.I did notice that when I hold attack down and dodge back repeatedly, Rey will lunge forward on the next attack. Maybe that's what I've been experiencing all along without knowing it.

Ok so I finally discovered why this issue happens. I made a topic in the main forum explaining it with detail, which can be found here: https://battlefront-forums.ea.com/discussion/158374/how-directional-dodges-work-and-why-its-a-bad-thing
So I'll make it brief here
This game decides where you'll dodge to based on the momentum applied to your character, rather then the input you provided. Most of the time the directional input you provide will apply the correct momentum and will make the dodge go to the intended direction.
But sometimes, due to specific effects like getting frozen by Kylo and staggered out of it, you'll get momentum due to the stagger, and even if you input your dodge to go to any direction, the game will force you to dodge in the direction the stagger moved you to, just like I showed in a GIF in a previous reply of mine here in this report.
There are many situations that can produce this effect, although being rare. The worst about this issue is that it happens more oftenly when you're in the heat of a battle, facing many opponents at once.

A very thorough and insightful analysis in that link, @RogueZeroRendar . Thanks for taking the time to put it together. I know it wasn't something you did in 5 minutes. 🙂
@EA_Atic - If this was a design decision, a few people would suggest it was a poor one; some would argue its a bug. You mind presenting @RogueZeroRendar 's detailed analysis to Development? You might need to show it to someone other than who you spoke with before. 😉
