Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Dev Tracker

I'm honestly a bit curious why everyone seems to be so happy about this. Do you guys really dislike other players buying an account or getting crystals cheaper so much? I mean, i get that you don't want other guys to get things cheaper or still face an account of a player who stopped playing because they're your competition in arena, but it's not like you can notice a difference while playing between a legit whale and a crystalfraud/bought whale account. What leaderboard you're placed on when you started playing most likely plays a far bigger roll in your ingame performance than these accounts that are getting banned ever did.
Maybe i'm completely wrong about this, but the way i see it is that ea/cg are mostly protecting themselves against theft instead of banning cheaters who're actively ruining the game by hacking.
Don't get me wrong, i do think "thiefs" should be punished, but it's not like i'm cheering when the local supermarket busts ...

Greetings Heroes,

We take cheating at Galaxy of Heroes very seriously and are tirelessly working to identify and remove cheaters from the game. You may have noticed or have heard that one of our investigations resulted in a mass banning. Well sit tight, cause this purge is just beginning (insert sinister laugh here.)



LD

Does this ban also include the client exploiters (in regards to battles/arena)?

thanks,

These client exploiters in the arena / TW / RAIDS... that is an ongoing and daily hunt.

This announcement is specifically about major action being taken on accounts that we've been investigating for months and months.

There's a couple of us here, so rest assured that the battle cheaters are still our number one priority, eve... Read more

Are these bans permanent?

For the most part yes.

In the past we've tried to rehabilitate these types of abuses with intricate and severe account adjustments... but with so many this go round we're just going to a perma-ban.

We may entertain reevaluations in a few months, but I can not emphasize enough how low of a priority it is to set aside time to accommodate cheaters. They cheated, they're gone.

LD

Just so you know on Reddit they are posting something like 2 week bans...or even in the past..

That's crazy they can buy themselves to first by cheating get 2 weeks off then get to go right back to first place.....

That would almost BE AN INCENTIVE to go out and try to cheat....that would be INSANE..

It HAS to be pe...

@CG_Carrie @CG_SBCrumb does these bonuses for Revan’s Leader ability double for dual faction?

“At the start of battle, Jedi and Old Republic allies gain +5 Speed, +5% Crit Chance and +5% Offense for each Jedi and each Old Republic ally.”

Yes, it applies twice to Old Republic Jedi Sorry for the confusion, this only applies once

To rereclarify: So only once and NOT twice? Thx!

Ugh, sorry for the back and forth on this one. It applies twice the bonus for Old Republic Jedi once. You'll get +10 or 10% for each Old Republic Jedi

@CG_SBCrumb

I’m sure you’re going to get there. But specifically will annihilate trigger savior. Or as it’s an outright kill does it by pass the Savior unique

Thanks

It bypasses Savior and will still finish off the target because as you said, it defeats the unit and isn't actually dealing damage

Lokey

SnakesOnAPlane

Let’s try this again:

@CG_SBCrumb previously leader abilities would not double for dual faction, only Uniques. However, Revan’s is VERY specific. Does this portion below double up for dual faction?

“At the start of battle, Jedi and Old Republic allies gain +5 Speed, +5% Crit Chance and +5% Offense for each Jedi and each Old Republic ally.”

He answered your question above. Said yes.

Sorry I've was told that was a bit incorrect. Edited the above post to say it only applies once but you'll get 10% for each Old Republic Ally. So essentially yes

Yes, it applies twice to Old Republic Jedi Sorry for the confusion, this only applies once but the bonus is +10 or +10% for each Old Republic Jedi

And another question about the 1% life...iif a Jedi has 5k life left and gets damaged with 5100..ddoes that trigger the ability? He won't be at 1%, he would be at 0%

It should read 1% and below. They will still revive if they take lethal damage
Slightly more complicated answer after talking to the dev team. Once a character with Savior hits 1%, they stop taking damage. They never technically revive but Nihilus' Annhilate will still finish off a character

Vendi1983

Direct Focus description doesn't really make sense. You mark a selected enemy but then all enemies target the marked enemy? Are we really going to see AI toons attacking each other?

And does the swarm assist from Direct Focus/marked translate/merge with his leadership where they recover protection and deal extra damage for attacking out of turn?

Marked is when you inflict Taunt as a Debuff. Since taunt is a buff your units apply to themselves, it would be odd to have a "debuff Taunt" so we call that "Marked". Functionally, it is the same: units are forced to attack a Marked unit. Or, if there is a Marked unit and some units that have Taunt, you can choose which of those to target just as if there were multiple Taunting units.

Thanks for all the data points and suggestions everyone. I've sent this over to the team to review and we will try to determine why there are consistently reported mismatched battles.

I've also asked the matchmaker designer to write a brief breakdown of how the system works and what maybe causing these issues.

Hi All,

We have updated the Hound's Tooth's Basic Ability text to:
"Deal Physical damage to target enemy and dispel all debuffs on Hound's Tooth. Hound's Tooth recovers +10% Health and +10% Protection if it has Taunt."

We had previously posted an outdated version of the basic ability text. Sorry for the inconvenience!

@chriscasey141272 I'm going to take a stab in the dark and assume that the game you are referring to is Galaxy of Heroes and the issue relates to the purchasing of gear for characters who aren't yet at a high enough level to equip said gear.

 

Can you let us know what you purchased and what levels your characters are at?

It seems that Bastila lead ability is seriously bugged.

@scuba What makes you say that? :/

@JCWest562 Hi,

 

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. We definitely had this option for a while but it was decided to remove it. With that being said, the studio is aware that there is still a demand to turn surplus gear into something useful, maybe similar to what we have with the shard shop?

 

While not aware of the current plans, stay tuned for what the future will bring.

 

Thanks again,

Nils
