I think number 2 will be more liked but slightly lower sales. To be honest I'm also hoping they get a backlash over loot crates and that affects sales. :td:
Yeah, I think you are spot on here. With a few years of new Star Wars stuff out, the initial cash-in of the first game is now past, and they will have to sell it as a good game on it's own, because if you just want a Star Wars game with AAA graphics, the Ultimate Edition is like $5 right now.

Definitely Battlefront II. It's an improvement in almost every way.
There is no doubt that it is improved, but the last game reportedly had record sales. And it ended up burning a lot of Star Wars fans, with the lackluster content and replay-ability. They are going to have a tough time convincing people like me (someone who bought the deluxe version of the last game) to buy their game.

After going through over 250+ Steam comments on the forums I'm fully aware xD
Yeah, I saw your edit after I posted.  :shrug:

Agreed. I don't know why they didn't just release a working product. Now we have to deal with a barely functional game with people complaining about issues that likely won't exist in a few weeks. Such is life.

An interesting, and possible important note that I forgot about, (I'm sure Led and Anyder are aware of this.) but this is actually GOG, not Disney. Disney gave GOG their blessing of course, but the multiplayer is actually from GOG.

If Disney was honestly trying to restore multiplayer to the game, they better get on top of fixing it. People are turning sour about all of the issues real quick...

They have added mods to it, that's it. The server software is just the same. It just needs to be pointed to the new masterserver.
I hope you are right!  8)

3.2 GB patch? That's the reinstallation of the entire game basically. Which is why people are backing up custom files and etc.
Yeah... I think the game has almost doubled in size.

There are no plans to end SWBFSpy right now, are there? The PS2 still relies on it unless we can co-opt the new master server.
No, they won't end it, our main game SWBF1 also depends on it.

Anyone can do that. But we do not know what the new Masterserver info is. At least, not me.

Disney has changed more than just pointing it to a new master server. (It's a 3.2 GB patch) So even if you knew the IP the old server software likely won't work, but obviously I really don't know.

It seems that Disney has decided to restore multiplayer for SWBF2 on Steam:

On another note, the CD version obviously won't be supported by this...

Edit: It also appears the game has been renamed on Steam as: 'Star Wars: Battlefront 2 (Classic, 2005)'

I usually check it on the portal > User Info > Recent Unread Topics

Try there.

I do not see why it wouldn't show all the unread topics...

Are you referring to the link at the bottom of the 'Forum Index'?

Maybe it started with the new version of SMF   
Possibly, though I do not know when the last update was, or exactly when the problem started, so I can't say if it occurred around that time.  :shrug:

Well, thanks anyways I'll just deal with it.

I know this section is about website suggestions, but I wasn't sure where else to put this...

I used to, when I would log in to SWBFGamers, always check the 'Show unread posts since last visit'. (the little link in the upper right hand corner of the website) But lately when I've been checking the site, nothing has been appearing there. I'm not entirely sure when this started, as I was not very active on the website over the summer, but now that I am checking it more frequently, it is definitely a bit of a pain.

I know that there are unread posts, because I can see some of them on the sidebar of the website. (But only up to five.) So my questions are, am I missing something? Or did something change there? Do I need to fix something, or am I forgetting how it is suppose to work?

Anyways... any help with this would be appreciated.

I'm definitely an American car guy, and not because I think they are necessarily any better than other countries' cars, but because I love muscle cars and I think they have had a major influence on the design of many other types of American cars.

Not to mention, American pickup trucks are generally the best there is.

I'm not completely sure about my schedule yet, but I will definitely keep it in mind!

SWBF 1 and 2 Tournaments / Re: DET: Week 2
August 01, 2017, 07:18:43 PM
Yeah, these early times are hard for American players, especially for people like me who work weekends, but I understand that the reverse is also true for EU players, so there really isn't a great solution to this... :slap:

Yowza!...the only problem is I'm already in a clan (BOBClan) :O
As Red04 said, you are welcome to play with the IA for the tournament since it is not a regular clan.

I am playing with the Alpha clan for the tournament, but it is up to them who they allow on their team.
