Product: Star Wars Battlefront IIPlatform:Sony Playstation 4What is your issue related to? GeneralSummarize your bug Just played a game of GA on Kamino where the enemy Emperor Palpatine was killing our team by shooting his lightning attacks through closed doors and at one stage when he was on a higher floor it came through the floor. Not sure if it's a bug/glitch/outright cheating. It was a massively unfair advantage for that player who finished top of their team by far.What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? L00T3r1P4How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)Can you tell us the date (MM/DD/YYYY) that you saw the bug? 20/12/2017What time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM) 17:20PMIn what game mode did the bug occur? Galactic AssaultWhat is your time zone? AET - GMT + 10:00Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play against an enemy Palpatine & see it he can hit you through solid objects/doors with his attacks.What happens when the bug occurs? The force lightning attacks (all of them) that Emperor Palpatine has come out the other side of doors, walls and a floor for some distance - killing opposition team members who should be protected by solid objects in game. What do you expect to see? So-called "Solid" objects in game should block an enemy's attacks & not let them through/affect those standing some distance away on the other side of them. Please select your region AustraliaAMD or Nvidia Model Number N/A Please fix this - it is a hugely unfair advantage for people playing against that hero! Not much fun to play against either..

Yeah, palpatine's lightning will go through most surfaces, like walls, floors, doors and the likes. On some maps (like Theed) this can be abused to devastating effect. Effectively locking down an entire area without fear of retaliation. I saw a guy rack up 98 kills thanks to this glitch, simply because we couldn't move to attack him.Btw, anyone can do this if they know how.

I have recently been seeing this happen, and was wondering if it is a bug or a cheat. I have an upgraded Palpatine, and can't do anywhere near as much damage as some players are doing. Like not even close. I have also seen a Palaptine that is taking an extraordinary number of hits with almost no damage. Like he is surrounded by 10 players all shooting him point blank and they all die and he takes no damage. I'll try to get a vid or at least the name of the player next time I see this. Also on PS4.

Are you holding down both left click and right? I use Palpatine a lot and it usually takes me a second to fry any regular trooper to crisp. Even faster if I have chain lightning on. Though a Palpatine taking no damage sounds a bit broken.

Just watching someone else playing a GA match, and Palpatine was clearly OP. There was no chance, my friends' team was going down like flies sprayed by Raid. Palpatine took no damage and had a ridiculous number of kills. Everyone was dead before they could get a shot in on him. If this isn't a cheat, it is clearly a serious bug. If EA can't fix it, they should disable the Palpatine character until they figure out how to fix it, because it is absolutely ruining the game for anyone who ends up on the light side in a GA match.

How is this still a bug? OP Palpatine is quickly making this game no fun.

This still is occuring. Any word on whether it is intended? It seems so very overpowered. Today I got zapped from 1/2 way across the tarmac on Starkiller Base. And everyone was shooting at Palpatine, and he was taking no damage, lasted the entire game. Is this a bug or a hack?

Sounds like a hack... Every time I play him he seems to take damage fine...

This was once a rare thing to see - now it seems to be -every- palpatine player you come up against.. Lightning hitting across the screen, around corners through floors and walls (coming out what seems to be metres from "solid" objects) and the players are virtually unkillable... I have the extended range card as well as the chain lightning healing card at blue level on my palp but there is no chance of me healing as quickly, reaching as far or killing en mass like some of these players. Something is definitely not right with it.

Btw, anyone can do this if they know how.

I just played 2 games of galactic. It’s so freaking over powered! I just go nail him down! All Pal did was keep everyone in a LOCK STUN, no one can move and die in like 3seconds, even if a hero with “extra health.” Going through walls, even buildings no can enter to. I tried using a jet pack away, but even in mid air, was “stunned” & dead before landing. Just now finished a game, he went 98. When he started Palp at 12 kills.. I haven’t ever raged that badly until now. My whole team manage to keep even by killing his teammates, but no one could kill Pal. 0 damage at most, when ALMOST dead, gets like 150% even more healh, then 0 damage again.

I got zapped right through the rock wall on Crait. I was near the last spawn point, behind the closing doors, and lightning came right thru the rock and killed me.
