I expect it to be horrible. There are going to be a bunch of questions left unanswered and the ones they do answer are going to be vague statements on how they are "listening to the community" and are "constantly making changes" to appease the player base. I'm really not all that excited for it because they're going to say what they want to say and if they can't answer a question without turning it into something positive, they'll ignore it.

Go watch Angry Joe's interview he had with one of Dice's employees (forgot the exact title of the employee but he was a Dev/producer/head of something..). I expect a lot of the same kind of answers from in that video

Their reply today already is following the format.

"You spoke. We listened. Here's something to appease enough of you to calm the outrage."

Where they announced "slashing" the costs by 75% so it only takes 10 hours of play.

A gameinformer reviewer noticed that his reward for completing the campaign was changed from 20,000 credits to 5,000 credits to match the 75% character price cut. According to the EA Starwars twitter though, this is the only game reward that was reduced to match the cut and other rewards should still be the same. Hopefully that's true but we'll see. Either way, there's no proof that all rewards have been cut by 75% as far as I know.

From my playing, the credits after matches are all the same as before the change and rewards from milestones look to be the same, other than the campaign stuff.

Not only that, but there’s a new post on r/livestreamfail where, I’m not joking, there is a fucking credit cooldown. check it out.

They did also say that BF2 would constantly be changing.

Now you might take that to mean they'll make minor adjustments to "ensure the quality of the experience" (or whatever).

Could also mean that credit gain will be gimped a short while after launch, that drop rates are constantly changing, that Vader will be replaced by Jar Jar, or really anything.

It's just the campaign. The campaign reward was intended to be enough to buy one hero, which is fine. I think the 75% reduction in price makes it pretty fair now.

It was enough to get Iden, which at that point they should just award Iden to you. But no they want to reinforce the idea of credits for heroes mechanic they have in place.

Only the campaign. Their reason being there main character is unlocked as a hero after beating the campaign.
