Playing heroes vs villains on Endor, I’m playing as lando and I’m walking through one of the bridge tunnels as the target hero, palpatine jumps ON TOP of the tunnel and is shooting his lightning directly at me. This also happened through the rock side near the opening of the bridge tunnels. This game has been out for almost three months and I can’t play for more than 30 minutes without getting so furious with the amount of game breaking bugs that I have to put the game down. The ONLY thing this game has going for it right now is the title, if it wasn’t for that this game would be a huge atom bomb on the gaming community

    Hi DYSPROssium

    I note your views and respond.

    1. If emperor has not been nerfed then I am experiencing a loss of hits of 25%.
    I am sure emperor can last the whole game in GA,
    In h vs v this is not my experience.

    2. To me the freezing of opponents so they can be easily killed is a unacceptable feature which can not be blocked or shaken off after it is used.
    The fact that both sides have them is worse.

    3. Rey's mind trick is unique, the abilty to disrupt oppenents control of their character is both anoying and can not be blocked or shaken off after it is used.

    Regardless of the power of weapons some features are to disruptive to gameplay.

    While it might take me a little longer to kill characters in h vs v. I still can get scores of 15000-20000, it is the gameplay I am unhappy with, It is not a true combat game when features are added that can result in your character falling to death or frozen and killed without combat.

    Also the full playfeild is not accessable, you have to follow some paths and can not jump up the hill, some of the characters can not jump well at all.

  • I have to say I disagree with Palpatine being too weak. He's easily still one of the best Villains in GA and HvV. I'd say for how easy it is to drain his health he needs to be able to move as quickly as he does to keep him balanced and playable otherwise he would just be cannon fodder. On the whole if you use him correctly timing your jumps and dashes he can be very effective.

    The need to give palpatine a lightsaber and keep the dark arora and lighting stun

    YES GIVE PALPATINE A LIGHTSABRE.

    He needs something to defend himself properly, I am sure some opponents would be very happy to see palpatine with lightsabre, if he is using this there is not a stream of lighting as he cannot use both at the same time.

    Another reason is that many times emperor lighting has failed to lock on to oppenent directly in front or when he is jumping.

    In my opinion as a HVV player,Palpatine should not be able to shock and immobilize with normal attacks, he already drain stamina and dont need to aim properly to hit the targets. I dont know if is a glitch or something that palpatine is design to do, but is unfair that he can interrupt and make waste all the powers of the heroes just spamming lightnings , powers like force push,repulse, rush,charge slam,shoulder bash,unleash,etc etc

    Hi Bohll

    So do you think giving palpatine a light sabre would be a good idea, he would then use his current abilities less.

    They should add a secondary palpatine with saber and different powers like they did with the falcon in SFA so the people would be able to choose the gamestyle, the current Palpatine anyway deserve to be dimmed in power because he is unbalanced, he can clean an entire room in GA in seconds (no other heroes can) and in HVV made the game unbareble because nullify the effort of the opposing team just spamming his lightnings and making his team virtually unstoppable.
    To stop a good Palpatine followd by a less than mediocre party of randoms,require a coordination of 4 good players in voice chat ,and i find it unfair.
