Yes, it needs to be fun for all skill levels. Otherwise interest in the game is going to go away very soon and the game will die very quickly.
Look at StarCraft 2. It has something to offer for absolute newbies up to the level of pro-gamers. There is something fun to do for players of all levels (campaign, co-op, arcade, ladder). If the only thing fun to do for someone new in squadrons is to play the campaign they will quickly move on because people don't want to needlessly frustrate themselves in the hope of becoming good one day so that the game will be fun in 3 months time. It's a game, it's recreational, it should be fun now. If people want to play the easy mode they should be allowed to find it to be exactly that: easy. Normal should be normal and there should possibly some kind of challenge mode as well.

I just tried it and bothered going till the end for the 1st time as rebels and won without even playing half the time. Spent most of the game changing the bindings for a gamepad.
Thats not me saying Im amazing...the complete opposite, I did literally nothing to help other than shoot a few tie fighters.
Im not sure AI Tie Bombers should be able to do a 180 quicker than my xwing though...
This was in solo mode on easy. Wouldnt surprise me if it ramps the difficulty up the more human players you have.
I would defo agree with the star destroyer being impossible. The few times I went near it during the time you're supposed to attack I got insta killed everytime within seconds. Good luck trying to knock out all the turrets on that
Totally Agreed. It's too hard. My favourite part is when we attack the Star Destroyer, it pushes us back (by desintegration) then the Raider comes with the enemy squadron and in one wave they destroy our whole fleet. Annoying
- @Savagebeasty Solo on easy is exactly that: easy (or at least doable). Coop on easy is not. In coop you cannot rely anymore on your wingmates to carry you.
In solo easy I have a win rate of 100%. In coop easy I have a win rate of 0%. While playing coop normal my win rate is more like 70-80%. - @69UgandaKnuckles Like you noticed it's not dark souls. It's not also Sekiro. It's not even DCS. Those are hard games. Unlike squadrons.
Posting "it's too hard" on first three days of game release is equally poisonous to the game. And it's a bit silly.
I would fully understand: after two weeks of playing, I understand all mechanics, and claim that it's too hard. - Savagebeasty5 years agoSeasoned Vanguard@MadogPL Where are all this hidden mechanics, theres a drift...thats about it. Its hardly a game of depth 🙂
I dont think EA need our help poisoning their game, they've done a pretty fantastic job on their own so far.
Its a shame, maybe one day it'll even work on something other than 60hz monitor ☹️ - @Savagebeasty Not sure yet, as I'm waiting for bugs to get fixed. But I expect it to be one of types : easy to handle , hard to master. Like silly rocket league is. Like car races are. You turn left, right, break, Accel, that's it. Yet some ppl race and call it complex.
Just don't put down semi-semi hard game, that finally is not full arcade, to be easier. First get better before you complain that's it's too hard. In first 48h of a game... - Savagebeasty5 years agoSeasoned Vanguard@MadogPL Silly rocket league! Blashphemy sir 😉
I hope your right and theres some hidden level of depth to this game I've not discovered yet. Years ago when I worked for a well known games company the joke about EA was always that they projected an amazing illusion of depth. The reality is usually you've seen everything an EA game has to offer within the 1st hour.
Wow..I just realised I did a squadrons inbetween mission chat nonsense there..
Let me tell you a dull story about my past even though you neither asked or wanted to hear about it... - @Savagebeasty Well... I hope also. Like I said: waiting for first patch to experience it properly.
Have fun. Hard fun. 😉 Anyone that is saying this mode is too hard is not playing the game right and will get their behinds handed to them in miltiplayer.
As AdmiralcHoldo would NOT tell you to do, my advice is to Get get your heads back in your cockpits and train more!
