Starfighter Battles Are Agonizing
Just bought this game a week ago, hadn't played Battlefront since the 2005 version.
Been playing a lot, having fun despite spawning/dying/spawning/dying to people with maxed out cards I can't possibly compete with. That's all well and good when it's a huge ground battle, but in starfighter assault this is absolutely awful, and it's compounded by the fact that leveling up ship types in starfighter mode is as slow as molasses.
I've played for hours as an interceptor and as a fighter. They're probably comparable to the amount of time I've played as an Officer, Heavy, or Specialist. My specialist is 39, Officer is 21, Heavy is 12. My fighter is 9, my interceptor is 9.
It sucks a lot of the fun out of a match when I keep getting blown up seconds after spawning by someone with a set of fully maxed cards, and I shouldn't need to engage in an MMORPG-like grind just to level up my star fighters.
I know this game is dead and EA is a soulless, bloodless money-grubbing nightmare, I just wanted to speak my piece on this as a new player to the game. Don't expect I'll be messing with future titles, while this game is fun it still can't hold a candle to the old Battlefront 2.
To level up troopers, heroes, vehicles, and special units easily, Co-Op is useful for star cards.
Triple XP is on Wednesdays so playing then can help level up quickly.
And finally, I hate to bear bad news, but the way this game is set up, grinding is the most integral part of the game.
That covers all the bases, so have fun and good luck!
