Re: Current state of Heroes v Villains

@o_JA50N_o  You’re absolutely right! I don’t expect that anyone at EA / DICE is going to admit what they did! 

This thread alone has a number of people who are specifically experiencing the same things and when you separate what is known to be a bug and directly compare mechanical game stats that’s when the pattern appears. 

By implementing the handicap to coincide with the movie release AND maintaining these triple XP & double XP weekends the result is that newer players joining the game are praising the title. 

in fact, just yesterday, on the actual official BF2 forums EA disclosed that they had some of the “highest customer feedback” periods and were promoting that on a quarterly webcast! ... gee, that’s a hell of a coincidence isn’t it?! 

it would seem that by hook or by crook EA got exactly what they wanted ... a sales spike and skewed community feedback. Anyone playing the game and experiencing poor gameplay (ie higher level players) are likely chalking their experiences up to “bugs”but truthfully; if you dig into it you find that many aspects aren’t bugs. 

I agree it’s a CRAP thing to do and it needs to be reversed! They may very well do that. If you troll these forums you’ll find entires where players were complaining about getting beat by higher level players. These were from newer players who aren’t familiar with the game. Rather than those players taking the time to get used to the game or use the single player methods to get used to it they have been complaining. 

The video clip I posted of Rey is just one of dozens of examples I see every game. There was no “bug” involved; Rey was highlighted white, indicating that the game mechanic identified her as an active target within Kylo’s AOE yet Freeze simply was ignored. If it was a singular occurrence that could be a bug but the point I’m trying to get everyone to see is that sort of thing is happening regularly every match.

Even though they'll never admit it I don’t need them to; I just want them to fix it so the more attention and activity these topics get the more EA will realize they need to address it. Hopefully with this next update that was just delayed it can be undone.
