I think it will be some what limited in scope compared to some games, very similar to BFH in its size. Hopefully its worth £33, might wait until after release and see any feedback.
Does that actually work?
I purchased on a Mexican VPN and activated the download on Origin on a Mexican VPN, but it still shows the unlock date as 19th November (European release)
I hope it works well and the engine runs it well, will be a good sign for BF5/BFBC3/BF21XX
I'm just not a fan of Star Wars, I'm sure if I was I would be all over this. Graphically is looks very nice. But FPS games are all about the gameplay/longevity and fun aspect - which is where this give will thrive or die.
I'm hoping it's not another Hardline.

If not EA/Dice need to don some armour, because the incomming flack from Star Wars fans will be something else. You can't make a rubbish AAA game with the Star Wars brand, not unless you are an idiot. The size of the fan base alone will make them millions!
The huge fanbase and expectations hasn't stopped a number of star wars franchise games in the past being a bit rubbish.
I think the only people who will be really disappointed are those that expect a complete battlefield in the star wars universe experience.
It's not BF but I think it's going to be fun to play.

does the vpn need to remain on to play once unlocked?
They have nailed the star wars experience & atmosphere so for those people who want just that, they shouldn't be disappointed but those who want a little meat to their shooters will be/are thoroughly disappointed like myself.
AFAIC, it will be hardline and titanfall all over again, those were much better games for "gameplay" imo but with this being star wars themed and all the hype surrounding star wars in general atm and as a result probably a much larger player base..... I imagine it should last a bit longer.
Without the star wars theme and pretty graphics, I could see the game dying a far quicker death, in fact, I don't think the game would have even had any hype/interest at all to begin with.
Another thing that is making me hold fire on purchasing it, is the feedback to DICE and what they do with it..... with hardline, visceral listened and did what the majority wanted for the alpha/beta but come final release with the constant complaints of weapon balance, spawns, netcode, insta TTK..... where were they? Apparently DICE have done a ton of changes with regards to weapons, fixed the spawns etc. although instead of nerfing the ATAT, according to xfactor they have buffed it......
Hopefully not, as that would make the game unplayable. In the past you've just need to unlock the game with the VPN active, then logout of VPN and join UK servers
but time will tell with this release.Did you not see any one with half a brain racking up a 20+ kill streak with ease in a matter of minutes?
When I played the alpha, using the aircraft + ATAT, I could easily go on 30+ killstreaks within 5 minutes.
On maps like Hoth, there is just no cover from the vehicles unless you are inside the base.
It makes for a good star wars experience.... but it ruins the gameplay imo.
I have no problem with OP gadgets/vehicle/guns being in a game, however, they NEED to require some thought/tactics to using them i.e. like jets in BF, so OP but only in the right hands and even then you can't rack up a 30+ killstreak in a matter of minutes.

Same here, I was laughing at just how easy it was for me to do it. I think they just needed to increase the reload time of the weapons maybe, or reduce the blast radius.
Still undecided whether to purchase this or not.
I played the beta and found the balance to be pretty much spot on. It's an ATAT, i'd expect it to blast everything in sight, whether the pilot is new to the game or not.
The game needs to cater for everyone. Making it so that the only people who can use the ATAT are the ones who spend hours and days honing their ATAT skills is pure stupidity.
Simply popping your shield or jetting out of the danger area seemed to work well enough for me.
It's also not like they can sit in the thing the entire game either, just racking up the kills, unlike BF4 where you can sit in a tank or jet the entire game racking up 30 kills in 5 minutes.
