Well, I just got back from one of the worst nights out of my life, I have to say I'm quite glad to have something nice to see back home.

Contragulations Mav', you are the best (my opinion). Thanks for releasing Dark Times.

As in, they don't show up in the menu, therefore, you can't see if they'll crash or not. That's what happens to me.
@msc: Are you running Vista or XP?
vista, swbf2 worsk FINE on it though.
I'd remove the 607th mappack. I have all of those mods plus three or four maps in the addon, so it should work fine after you remove the mappack.

Can you get the space heroes on assault or just dogfight?

Thanks Ping. Anyway I seem to be getting the hand of the new hero system, I really like the force finisher move. The TIE Vanguard shield is awesome, I can't seem to get the Slave I though always the TIE Advanced.

Did you play wave mode mixed in with your conquest modes? Some of the wave modes use the campaign setup and might force you onto team one after you play (just like any of the other campaign missions if you play them in IA).
Yes, I did. Come to think of it, I think it started after Coruscant wave. So you're saying that is what caused it to do it on conquest?

I have to say I like it, a lot, but it was a bit worse than what I was expecting. For a few of the heroes, it's somewhat hard to time the combo right to fit in the Finisher, and spam-hitting the block key for the light attack gets a little....tiring. Maybe it would've been better if you just held the key instead of hitting it over and over?

Plus, does Maris Brood have a force finisher? They're kinda tricky to get on some of the heros, but I got them on all the saber-users I could find, except her.
Hey, don't complain because you're not used to it yet. There's more to playing it than just spamming the block key, and yes, everyone has a finisher. Some characters have harder finishers to use (Maris, Vader) but make up for it in other ways.


The word you're looking for is not "worse," it's "less-familiar."
Of course there's more to playing it than spamming the block key; I recognize a good mod when I see one. All I'm saying is that it's not what I was expecting and I would have preferred what I was expecting. It's still a great piece of work. I'm just giving my thoughts and criticism. There's always something to improve; if there wasn't life would get boring pretty fast.

Can't wait to play this. This should be a good reason to get back into SWBF2.

As for that hidden objectives, could you describe what we should do/kill?
I suppose its The Emperor on Death Star, but thats all I know and I could never find him after I killed Vader (played twice).
And on Kashyyyk after I kill Kento Marek I just dont know what to do next, it seems that slaughtering all wookies wont help and I win after 6th wave.
Hidden/Spoiler:
Btw is Starkiller that hidden objective on Coruscant

You're talking about Wave mode, right?
Hidden/Spoiler:
You play as Starkiller for most of the Wave modes, Coruscant being one of them.
And I have the same question.

For the hidden objectives, just watch what makes the red number go up. Kashyyyk might be the hardest to get to the seventh wave since there are two goals to complete with the less obvious one being the one that isn't counted on the red number (instead the red number is like on Hoth and Kamino where it counts allies left (one goal, hint, hint)). The second thing on Kashyyyk is most like the bonus objective on Felusia.

The problem is that you're not giving criticism, you're just saying it was "worse than what you expected." I was very up-front about giving information about this, and if it wasn't 100% what you wanted, that's your fault. If you have criticism, like "I thought you could have done a better job on Starkiller's texture," then fine. I could go without hearing "gee this wasn't how I would have done it so it's disappointing" - especially when it's been released for a day total.

There's no error, it's just that hero assault requires more resources than normal and that will make it tricky to host if you don't have a lot of bandwidth.

You actually fight the opposite of whatever you played as. Coruscant wave mode you can either play light-side or dark-side. If you play lightside, you fight Sith and eventually yourself. If you play darkside, you fight Jedi and eventually yourself.

Some clues for the seventh wave modes:
Coruscant: Kill X before the wave ends
Death Star: Kill 14 X
Felucia: Kill both X
Kashyyyk: Kill 3 X and maintain 10+ X
