@EA_AtaashiIs there any info on changing appearances during matches? Or will that still be restricted to the main menu?

@EA_AtaashiNice work! I am looking forward to seeing the Ewoks! 😳

Hey @felker_s Unfortunately, this feature won't be introduced in the upcoming update ☹️ I know it's already been a highly requested option and with new appearances coming into the game soon, it would definitely be very useful. I'll let you know once I hear any news about it in the future! /Ataashi

@The_Storm_PandaOn the 18th (next Wed.), it is stated at the end of the post. 🙂

@EA_Ataashi while at this point I'm grateful we're getting anything in the way of updates/fixes/communication I've gotta say...Don't recall ANYONE ever requesting any Ewok content be it limited time or permanentDo seem to recall EVERYONE (or majority of people) asking for Clone Wars Season updates and not what appears like it's going to be a Solo based season?Glad to see bug fixes listed but still no mention of the rank 50 farce. Not even an increase in available ranks to bypass it?No mention either of the loading times issue, the daily crate not showing up, the lack of menu screen sound at startup, multiple other major bugs/issues?Nothing in the way of a roadmap which we were promised?On a positive note we'll be able to get the life-changing amount of 100 credits for winning a round though, lol :eahigh_file:Hope this hasn't come across as too negative but overall these release notes beg the question...Has anyone been listening to player feedback and requests at all? Ever? I know the true answer but thought I'd ask anyway 🤨

Star Wars Battlefront II - Release Notes - Night on Endor Update (18/04)

Hi everyone,

Our "Night on Endor" Update finally brings playable Ewoks to the game! In Ewok Hunt players will take on the role of both Stormtroopers and Ewoks as the former try to survive the night on the forest moon.

Fresh off the back of our Progression Update last month, we're now providing the option for you to use your remaining Crafting Parts and convert them into Skill Points for your favorite Unit. If you've been hanging onto those Parts, now is the time to utilize them!
