Emperor Palpatine's lightning going thru closed doors & floor

Product: Star Wars Battlefront II
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
What is your issue related to? General
Summarize 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? L00T3r1P4
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Can you tell us the date (MM/DD/YYYY) that you saw the bug? 20/12/2017
What time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM) 17:20PM
In what game mode did the bug occur? Galactic Assault
What is your time zone? AET - GMT + 10:00
Steps: 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 fix this - it is a hugely unfair advantage for people playing against that hero! Not much fun to play against either..

Yep, we were just in a match on the Death Star, some hacker gets Palpatine within the first minute of the game and then proceeds to kill our entire team through the walls just after we spawn every time. Our entire team couldn't make it past the entry of the very first section on Death Star because Palpatine was just killing us all through the walls with his lightning attacks.

Been playing a lot of HvV ...and since the last update it seems Palpatine is incredibly buffed than he was before.
I recall that he was removed from the game for a period (after an update) due to being overly powerful then.
Also, his Aura and Lightning attacks are traveling through bulkheads.

I don't recommend continuing this thread. This is about an issue which was adressed a long time ago. Devs thought it was a good idea to allow palpatine to shoot lightning through walls when the game launched. Months later they removed the feature because we complained a lot.
There had been bugs which allowed this to happen again from time to time, but the issue was always more then simply allowing it to go through walls.
So I suggest opening a new topic about an specific issue with palpatine, then using this one which is from a problem already solved.
