Hi Holotable Heroes,

You may have noticed alongside our recent update that a new Galactic Chase centered on the Geonosian faction has been announced. We are experimenting with the idea of making Galactic Chases a more frequent event, and rotating the unit(s) that will be featured.

Which units come next are yet to be determined. Furthermore, we’d like your help in making that decision!

That’s right, the link provided in this forum post takes you to a survey asking for your input on which units you’d like to see featured in upcoming Galactic Chases. We’ll provide a list of options, and y’all get to vote on which of those options you’d like to chase in future events.

Hi Holotable Heroes,

Anakin has fallen! In his place Lord Vader has risen and is ready to bring peace to his new Empire by any means necessary.

Lord Vader provides the Empire faction with a dedicated Galactic Legend, and with his anger fueling his attacks, Lord Vader is not to be underestimated. In addition to Empire and Sith factions, Lord Vader synergizes extremely well with Dark Side Unaligned Force Users, such as Maul. With a host of unique abilities and powerful attacks, Lord Vader truly rises to the title of Galactic Legend!

See the “Characters and Ships” section below for more details.

Hi Holotable Heroes,

As a result of rescheduling the Conquest 7 event, we will be returning crystals and Conquest Currency used to purchase consumables and energy refreshes during the initial run of the event to players’ inboxes.

This will happen via a Server Update tomorrow.

Hi Holotable Heroes,

There is some confusion around why some feats that require defeating enemies are not counting in some circumstances. These feats are working properly but the explanation requires a deeper understanding of how damage is applied from effects like Damage Over Time, Thermal Detonators, Expose, and Plague.

When a unit is damaged from effects like Damage Over Time, Thermal Detonators, Expose, and Plague, the unit afflicted by the debuff considers itself as the unit dealing the damage (and dealing the killing blow if this damage defeats the unit). What this means in practice is that if you attack a unit that has Expose and the Expose damage is what actually defeats the enemy, then your squad will not get credit for the defeat and it will not count towards your Feat progress.

We understand this interaction is not intuitive and will monitor its impact on the current Conquest.

Hi Holotable Heroes!

Today's update reschedules Conquest 7 to run for 2 weeks starting today (09/01) at 11am PST (18:00 UTC). We have fixed a number of issues with Conquest. See below for a list of fixes and other known issues. One feat was removed, "Bring Balance", and it’s keycards were distributed to other feats.

Please note, any crystals spent on Conquest energy and anything spent on consumables during the canceled event will be returned in a future update.
