Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Dev Tracker

TOPIC: Galactic Legends

Q: Can we confirm if the Galactic Versions are the final versions of each character? Being the last movie it would be kind of a let down if we didn't get Kylo and Rey as they are at the end of the movie
[list]
[*] A: Tophat - Tricky to answer... I think the answer is "cannot confirm". When we look at building/designing characters we often look for specific snapshots of characters (breakers of this rule are C-3PO and R2 for example) to design around. The versions of the Kylo and Rey that we have planned are not the versions from the end of the movie.
[/list]

Q: Can we please have some additional information about Galactic Legends events?
[list]
[*] A: Tophat - We have alot of planned information forthcoming. Our hope is to start the information rolling near the end of the month (finger's crossed).

Q: How will the galac... Read more

TOPIC: Quality of Life

TOPIC: Tech

Q: Why can't we use Malevolence in GEO TB?
[list]
[*] A: Tophat - It's a bug. We're looking into it. It looks like we might miss it for this next instance, but have it fixed for the one after. We're currently looking into it.
[/list]

Q: For people experienced players who purchased the hyperdrive pack many of the quests were reset. This will now prevent me from obtaining vaders first title will any corrections be made for this?
[list]
[*] A: SvenGG - We are actively investigating why this is happening, how to prevent it from happening in the future, and how to correct incorrect quest states players may find themselves to be in (in addition to any missed opportunities). Ultimately, the Hyperdrive Bundle should only facilitate obtaining titles and content in general. There are a lot of points to check to make sure this is handled in the best way possible, so the outcome... Read more

TOPIC: Content

Q: Are we going to get General Poe Dameron?
[list]
[*] A: Tophat - Yep, there's another Poe is coming to the game. We will have more to say soon
[/list]

Q: Has there been any work on a completely new game mode? Something akin to a blitz mode? Something playable daily, that can use your whole roster, scales with the team being used, with rewards going up a certain amount of wins and capping out after X amount of wins, but still playable after that for little to no rewards?
[list]
[*] A: SvenGG - I'm glad to see your interest in this. We're working on new systems which should culminate in multiple new game modes. Key goals of that initiative include giving players something challenging to do every day in Galaxy of Heroes. It's too early to go into any details beyond the goals and that we are approaching this from a foundational level rather than trying to just slap a... Read more

TOPIC: Economy

Q: Would CG upgrade or add a new tier for daily challenge with better prize?
[list]
[*] A: Cyanides - We would! However, We're starting with new Assault Battle tiers before looking into adding tiers to Daily Challenges.
[/list]

Q: Are there any plans to change the rewards of older missions? ie: missions where jedi shards are the reward, adding ezra or bastila. Or for an empire one getting more shards for newer empire toons?
[list]
[*] A: Cyanides - We don't have any plans to change old rewards. We are working on adding new tiers to different events/challenges where new rewards will be added.
[/list]

Q: When do you plan to update guild gear requests? With the introduction of Sith Raid (almost a year now), G13, and Relics, the gear landscape has changed dramatically since the introduction of guild gear requests in July 2016 - that's 2.5... Read more

TOPIC: Art

Q: @CG_RagingSpaniard, why is Qui-Gon Jin’s lightsaber so freakishly long, both in-game and on the old loading screen art?
[list]
[*] A: RagingSpaniard - This was before my time at CG so I had to do a little digging. He's a large character and apparently he looked very weird with a regular sized lightsaber so we went with the current length which I agree is very ... extra. Admittedly we had a more stylized art style back then so this makes a lot of sense to me as you want these characters to be distinct from each other.
[/list]

Q: I really enjoy the new splash screen, but noticed the Earth's Moon is clearly in the top left corner above the X-Wing. Aren't we supposed to be in a galaxy far far way?
[list]
[*] A: RagingSpaniard - Thats no Moo- ah crap yep, thats the Moon. Wheres the shrug emoji when you need it. I'll see what we can do.
[/list]

Q:... Read more

TOPIC: General

Q: Why were there no Christmas giveaways?
[list]
[*] A: Tophat - We have not traditionally observed Christmas in Galaxy of Heroes. The primary reason for this is that the Star Wars universe doesn't celebrate Christmas and as a consequence we don't either. There's also some practical components to this in that not everyone observes Christmas and we don't want to appear preferential to one holiday event or another. We've used our anniversary as our typical point to gift players a lot of goodies.
[/list]

Q: What is being done for those guilds who are missing Wat Tambor shards from the TB where specific unit requirements were removed due to technical issues?
[list]
[*] A: Tophat - It was a two step issue. We needed to identify what the issue was that was causing the shards to not be given out and fix that first. Next is making sure we send out the shards. We believe we... Read more

I've escalated this to the team responsible for Fraud/Cheating. They will review to confirm but it appears that auto-retreating teams were causing some false positives. Thanks for the heads up folks.

Hey folks, apologies. I couldn't get a solid answer today for this but I've covered their desk in sticky notes to remind them Monday. Sorry for the run around

Hey folks, sitting down with Tophat at lunch today to get a better answer to your question. I should have an update this afternoon

I think I also misunderstood the question when I passed it to Tophat. Thanks for explanation, I'll see if I can get an updated answer for this

We have rolled out a potential fix and it should resolve the issue. Please let us know if you are still experiencing issues logging into the game on Android clients.

Update: This appears to also impacting some devices with OS 8.0+. We believe we have found the issue and are working on a fix. I will share more details as soon as I have them.

There was a hint at the timeline in yesterday's Q&A :)

EDIT: The team has answered a ton of questions that I still need to post and many of stayed extra long today. I won't be gathering any more questions from the thread at this time but most answers live shortly!

Stayed extra long? Isn’t it like 2:45 there? What time does your workday end? Think I may have found part of the problem...

I only asked them to stay for an hour and half to answer questions and they stayed much longer than that. They also have their jobs to do
