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

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1) Play Galactic assault w/ 20 friends 2) Earn your 6000- 8000 battle points 3) Let 2 of your friends select a hero before you 4) Upon your death and return to troop selection menu, you will notice the BUG a) The other heroes will not be available b) Some heroes will appear then quickly be greyed out c) The greyed out heroes will appear, disappear then appear again
What happens when the bug occurs? Either you go back and select a regular trooper or spam the button for the hero you want while it is greyed out till the colour appear and shows the hero is available.
What do you expect to see? Hero that are NOT taken are always available if you have the battle points and not flickering from greyed out to available.

    Thanks DarthFDG,

    Yeah, rules out A.  I think it is B.  I read elsewhere that they allow only 2 Heroes/Villains each progressive phase or objective.  Unfortunately there is no way for anyone to know this unless stated in the trooper menu.

    Also, I have watched Youtube videos where those who have lots of battle points and have a hero, if they die, if they wait in the player menu, they can obtain the SAME hero if they wait for 30-45 seconds.  I did not know this.  I saw one player choose Yoday 3 times in a row since he had tons of battle points.    

    I guess there is a bit of lag between the time a hero dies and when someone else can choose them again.

  • I noticed this a while ago.

    I always assumed its because

    a) people had snagged the heroes

    b) only so many heroes are allowed in the game at a time

    sounds like you've ruled out a.

    If b is the case, would be good for the game to say so like it does for special units.

    sounds like its definitely b, then.

    You may want to mark this one resolved, even though the answer may not be what you were hoping for.

  • If the max number of heroes have already been chosen, instead of being grayed out, they should have the boxes X'ed out and have the ones in use shown with a checkmark so every player knows who is in the game at the moment.
