FIXES

• EVENT - Starkiller's event timer has been adjusted

Hi Holotable Heroes,

Some players may be experiencing issues with receiving the Grand Arena Crystal payout at their chosen payout time. This is separate from the 500 Crystals sent out earlier for the transition from Squad Arena payouts to Grand Arenas payouts. We are currently investigating the issue and it does not appear to be widespread but it is impacting a specific group of players. We are working to resolve this as soon as possible and all players negatively impacted by this issue will be sent a make good for any lost Crystals (to be determined once this issue is resolved).

Hi Holotable Heroes,
The changes to Grand Arena Championship have launched and we are monitoring for any issues. Most changes seem to have launched smoothly and all players will now start receiving their Crystal payouts based on their initial Grand Arena placement at their usual payout time. You can find more details in the November State of the Galaxy and the ... Read more

Hi Holotable Heroes,

The current Galactic Challenge, Bounty Hunters vs. Empire on Bespin, features ship combat. In Tier IV and above, once the battle starts it may appear as though not much is happening. However, there is a Contraband button in the lower right corner of the screen. It’s blue and bigger than the other blue buttons. Go ahead and give that a tap to get the party started.

May the Force be with you.
