My answer is sadly... No!
I do not agree with the direction that they went for this DLC, so I refuse to buy the season pass to get this.
What are you thoughts? The DLC is up for a mid-september release according to some sources.
I feel like when they originally created the game, they had a secret stash of levels they just decided not to give anyone until later. It's their way of making the already expensive game, into an even more expensive game. It might sound kinda far fetched but when you recall how they bribed /r/starwarsbattlefront moderators with early access to the game in exchange for literally bashing people who gave even constructive criticism. One moderator was shilling with over 200 accounts....
I have the season pass, and I will not be playing the Death Star DLC. I just don't like the game in general. It should've been SWBF2+, but instead it's........... something different.
It's a good game as long as it's not compared to the originals. Needless to say I haven't played SWBF EA and don't intend to.
I've seen so many posts on other forums about one topic; the hero that they chose to add. Imo, they should've added Obi-Wan as he had a bigger role in the Death Star than Cheewie.

Their decision pretty much triggered millions of people. Especially Obi-Wan fans. Instead we get some lame fur thing that doesn't even look like Chewie

All the more reason for EA to go bankrupt.

I support this, and is another reason why I will not be buying their new SWBF featuring the First Order, I'll play the open Beta but will not buy the full game until it comes onto a 50-65% discount.
I haven't played any of the DLC released so far and I don't intend to play any new DLC. I played the game for about a month and I'm done with it now. It's not as bad as I though it would be ( I would rate it 6 out of 10 ) but it still pales in comparison to the originals. I'm just hoping EA steps up it's game with the 2017 sequel.
The only time that I'd pay for one of their Battlefront Sequels and it's season pass is if the game has TCW in it. If it has the clone wars, then I'll pay every dime for it.
Yes because I'm the sucker that bought the season pass.

Nope, but I hope so.
Yes I will because, same as unit I have the season pass and I do actually like the game. I know that's hard for some people to accept.

Same. However the game took a big step back when ever they realized Bacta Bomb, before that garbage released the game was actually really good. Thankfully they are nerfing it in Death Star.
If the DLC is released separately later, then I might get it. But I'm not paying £30 or more for the season pass.

Doesn't it release for individual purchase like a few days later?

Not in EA's book. I wish it did though, I would've gone for the Bespin DLC.Nevermind, I think you can actually, I remember seeing it. It took me a while to find the individual purchase though. I think I had to do it on the Web Browser rather than the Origin Application.
You can buy them separately for $15 each, which adds up to $60 for all expansions. Season Pass is $50.

Two weeks.
It might add up to more, but at least you can split it up over the amount of a few months. So that you're not spending it all at once.
No, the game sucked in my opinion, it bugged me a lot when I played it. Maybe it's a good thing, since we won't leave the original games for the new expensive crap. Let the sw shinies play this .

I'm a shiny?
I think it's a pretty rad game to be honest.
I love a game that I can pick up an play, considering I don't seem to have time for any other kind of gameplay at the moment.
It does well to instil the 'arcade' feeling that was specific to the original game.
Fight me, I have admin powers.

Apparently a lot of great modeers who loved swbf 2 and swbf 1 are shiny, including me and you lol....just because we like this game.
I use to like the game, but played too much of it and got burnt out on it. And ever since, I didn't like playing the game.

Is your conquest even complete yet?

When you're done, 1v1 me on Walker Assault.

I agree. Well, I wouldn't say "pretty rad" but I can play it. I just think the DLC is way too overpriced. Perhaps reduce the price by 90% and I'll buy it.
However that's because I don't exactly have a proper job, my only source of income is currently YouTube :XD: I understand that due to technological advancements, we want more out of a game like up to date graphics and the highest quality sound along with the perfect AI yet this costs the developers a lot more time and money. But EA are :censored: anyway so why pay them?
For me the game was a disappointment so I haven't got any DLC, I think a lot more should have been included in the original game.
Don't get me wrong, it was a fun game but it's not something I've felt the urge to go back to, I think they should have concentrated on a few less modes, added some maps and made troops a bit more varied and satisfying to use (I know that's hard to explain).
If they fixed the spawn points so you actually had a battle front I would be happy so I'm optimistic for the sequel.
Optimistic for the sequel? I'm worried about it, seeing how they've had the poor choice of heroes, I doubt they'll add heroes that are logical.

I honestly don't see how they could screw up the First Order and Resistance heroes. There aren't that many to begin with, so they'll probably either have to make stuff up or include characters introduced in VIII.
I mean, here's what they have to work with:
Resistance:
Rey
Finn
Poe
Chewie
Luke?
First Order:
Kylo Ren
Captain Phasma
Genaral Hux
Boba Fett? Snoke?? A Knight of Ren????
I honestly am optimistic, as I believe they'll make up for the shortcomings of the previous game. The fact it will have a campaign is evidence of that.
Slightly off topic: why do we keep making these threads? They always end up going down this same path.

I'll take you up on that offer when I'm not constantly working, which at this rate will be next year.
Going through my old posts to find that quote is both impressive and terrifying.

I would suggest they would be driven to amend the less successful features of the game in order to make more money.

I used to like it, too. I was referring to the main base of customers indeed, the whiny kids who just enjoys the new shiny graphics. This game was badly rushed, just like any EA game (take a look at The Sims 4 for example) and this buggs me a lot.

It sounds like you're calling anyone who likes EA games an idiot. There's a lot more that I enjoy about the game just just its graphics. I know it was rushed and I know it's overpriced. I just didn't let that stop my enjoyment of it. Hell, I own several other EA games, including Battlefield 4 and SWTOR. I hate EA's business practices, but I like their games. Also, the other gaming giants, such as Activision and Nintendo, aren't any better. So you might as well boycott every single game from a large publisher.
While I'm personally disappointed with the game, I can see why some people like it. I really like that the gameplay is more dynamic than the originals ( especially with the jump pack ) and the fact that you spawn closer to the action. Combat was always more drawn out in the originals but in this one you can take down 3-4 players in a matter of seconds.
