Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Dev Tracker

Hi Holotable Heroes,

In this update, we’re proud to present Galactic Challenges! This all-new game mode represents a huge step for Galaxy of Heroes as it lays the foundation of our new content initiative, allowing us to generate fresh content, challenges, and feats on a regular basis going forward.

With Galactic Challenges, players will be presented with new battles that provide the opportunity to utilize many parts of their character and ship roster in a fun and meaningful way. Galactic Challenge events keep the game fresh and engaging by offering interesting and unique encounters that feature always-changing combinations of modifiers, locations, and conditions, along with multiple tiers of difficulty. Modifiers add a wide range of positive and negative effects to the battle, meaning you’ll have to mix up your strategies to succeed.

The best part?... Read more

Hi Holotable Heroes,

We are excited to announce that we have started to roll out the next Title Update! You may see an Update in the app store over the next 24 hours but we will require devices to update tomorrow when we release the final part of the Update. You should see no changes in the client today even if you update and you won’t be able to access Galactic Challenges just yet. Check back tomorrow for the full list of Update notes, some long awaited bug fixes, and Galactic Challenges!

See you on the Holotables!

Hi Holotable Heroes,

Our upcoming Title Update will arrive next week and that means Galactic Challenges are almost here! Today we’ll share more details about Galactic Challenges, and the complete Update Notes will be posted with the release.

Behind the curtain, this Update really has two parts: a whole new set of tools for us to create events more efficiently, and Galactic Challenges, the first type of event built using this new toolset. This greatly expands our options to create even more events and game modes in the future. We will be closely monitoring Galactic Challenges over the next few weeks and we already have plans to expand this feature after our initial exhibition period.

What Are Galactic Challenges?

Hi Holotable Heroes,

Our next Title Update will change how a battle determines which units will go next when multiple units have 100% Turn Meter. Currently, turn order is chosen randomly from all units that have 100% Turn Meter which can lead to some unpredictable results in a match. The new system defines a couple of new turn order rules for units with over 100% Turn Meter to help create more expected outcomes. Our internal testing showed that this change had little impact on match ups but we will be closely monitoring for any significant changes.

In this system, units can have their Turn Meter “overflow” 100%. Units must still reach 100% Turn Meter to take a turn, but the order of the turns will be determined by the unit with the most Turn Meter overflow. The Turn Meter overflow does not act as a buffer against Turn Meter reduction. When a unit with Turn Meter overflow has their Turn Meter reduced, they forfeit all “overflow Turn Meter” before having their 100% Tu... Read more

Hi Holotable Heroes,

Here is a list of some of the upcoming events for August.
DISCLAIMER: ALL DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

Daily Login Character for August: Stormtrooper Han

Hi Holotable Heroes,

We wanted to notify you in advance that our account-transfer between platforms feature will be temporarily disabled in order to remain compliant with platform policies. This change will likely occur with our next client update scheduled for early August. We fully expect to bring this feature back once it is compliant and we will update you as soon as we have more information to share.

We highly recommend you review this page for instructions on how to transfer your account and make any transfers before this update occur... Read more

Hi Holotable Heroes,

Mon Mothma, the Chancellor of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, is arriving on the Holotables! Mon Mothma's leadership and fearlessness propelled her to the top of the Empire’s “Most Wanted” list and served as an inspiration to all members of the Rebellion. Ever mindful of the consequences of war, but always willing to stand for justice, Mon Mothma is a welcome addition to Rebel squads as she uses the Field Promotion ability to summon increasingly stronger Rebel units to battle.

Thankfully, many Bothans don’t have to die for you to add Mon Mothma to your band of Rebels. You can obtain this Rebel non-combatant leader by completing the new Marquee Event, The Alliance Chancellor!

Hi Holotable Heroes,

We are making changes to Scarif Rebel Pathfinder’s Basic Ability in this week’s Update with Mon Mothma. The release of Mon Mothma will create a new team of Rebel Fighters (a list of which you can find here) and it was necessary to make a few changes to Scarif Rebel Pathfinder to allow this squad to have its own unique strategies and reinvigorate several less used characters. Without these changes, Mon Mothma’s kit had the potential to cause a nearly infinite loop when combined with the Turn Meter gained from Scarif Rebel Pathfinder’s Basic Ability, Dig In.

While we are maintaining his core identity as a reviving Rebel ... Read more

FIXES

• UNIT - Fixed an issue that caused Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker's animations not to play

Hi folks,

We are aware of an issue with today's Update that caused Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker's animations to not play correctly. We are working on a small hotfix to address this issue for potentially later today.

Hi Holotable Heroes!

Few pairings in Star Wars have had each other’s backs like Threepio & Chewie, who are arriving as a unique combo on the Holotables! The bond forged on Cloud City between one of our favorite droids and Wookiees showed the Empire this unlikely duo is a force to be reckoned with. In addition to being a unique combination unit, Threepio & Chewie offer new gameplay strategies by providing both damage and support abilities, ramping damage, and afflicting Blind on enemies. Only an overgrown mophead would miss out on the chance to add Threepio & Chewie to their collection! So, don't do anything foolish and make sure to participate in the Marquee event, Escape From Cloud City.

Hi Holotable Heroes,

Today’s Update improves many of the underlying technologies that we use to create Galaxy of Heroes. These significant tech upgrades enable us to continue to support this amazing game for years to come and bring you a Star Wars experience that’s better than ever.

It may seem like nothing has changed when you log in, but there are plenty of updates under the hood that allow for numerous improvements in the future. With a unified toolset and modernized APIs, these changes allow us to access more design tools and build a smoother process for developing new content. The updated version of Unity (the game engine used to create Galaxy of Heroes) expands the possibilities of what the designers can do when they create characters and events.

On the visual side, this update also enables us to create better character animations and cutscenes that truly capture the exciting moment of Star Wars. Besides giving artists more polygons to work with, too... Read more

Hi Holotable Heroes,

We’re excited to begin sharing details about the next feature coming to the holotables in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes: Galactic Challenges.

Our main goal for this feature is to provide more activities for players each day. We hear players asking for more ways to use their growing roster of units and want more than just new events that you can master quickly or sim. Galactic Challenges are the first in a series of features (similar to how Grand Arena was the basis for Grand Arena Championships) that will work together to offer new ways to utilize your collection.

What are Galactic Challenges:
Galactic Challenges are a new type of event that will feature interesting combat puzzles which will change on a regular basis. These events will feature a rotation of different enemy factions, allowing you to test out different parts of your collection. What makes Galactic Challenges an interesting twist from other forms of combat is the... Read more

Hi Holotable Heroes,

We are aware of an recent strategy pertaining to Supreme Leader Kylo Ren in which Fives gains an advantage due to an unintended interaction with Kylo’s AI. We are currently investigating the issue and are likely to take action in the near future to address the outcome of battles between Supreme Leader Kylo Ren and Fives.

Thank you from all of us here at Capital Games for your continued support. We are appreciative of your enthusiasm and dedication to our game.
