We cant play with friends - Bad squad system

@EA_David

But i suppose you will contact the dev team with this, right? If not, which is the purpose of this forum?

And then, you could tell us something about this when you have the answer.

If not, how can we know if those problems arrive to the dev. team? Which is the way so they can know about those problems and solve it ASAP?

Thank you!

Hello David, 

Thank you for looking into this subject. @petazetas69 mentioned this thread to me in the battlefront 2 forums and I figured id pass on my opinion as well to help beef up the support for constructive changes to the system.

So I've played the Beta. Now I'm playing the trial. The squad system NEEDS changes. I was shocked to see that nothing was done other than add a meter to indicate when you go up from 1x to 2x in terms of battle points to be received and then it shows the icons of the type of classes within your squad. Thats all I know and thats all I understand. DICE please elaborate on how the system works. It doesnt make sense and is very confusing.

I do not like spawning with random people every time. I played with four friends the other night and I would end up spawning with one of them because they happened to die when I did. Not everyone works as a team to increase the reward in battlepoints or work together in general, so what’s the point?

Its 10 second timer takes too long and squads don’t fill up always in order to spawn in faster. I miss the partner system from Battlefront 1, but I would like the Battlefield 1 system to be implemented in terms of spawning on squad mates, or at least remain the the same squad when with friends. I do not mind the current system if I was playing alone, but with friends I want to play with them and work with them in order to benefit from the bonus squad battlepoints and teamwork itself.

Are you even able to work with a friend that is not in your squad to get bonus battlepoints? What does the multiplier on the screen even mean, how does it work? They need to explain the system better and clearer. There were times I walked into a fight after dying and immediately get killed which turns into another long wait to get back into the fight. Then you have to run a good chunk of the map to get back in because it spawns you at the starting point, which can be a very far frustrating run… This needs to change or have better explanation.

Please let us stick with and play with our friends in the same squad.

The game has been fantastic so far and thanks again, David, for taking the time to look into this post. I'd be happy to offer more constructive criticism on this subject in order for developers to make the changes that players will love!

@petazetas69 Unfortunately these aren't questions I can answer. Such changes would likely be announced by the studio in a statement or by a developer on their own channels, but for me my hands are tied, sorry.

@EA_David is it possible to post links to these channels so we may follow them?

And thank you for your responses on this issue.
