Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Dev Tracker

Hi folks,

We are aware of the login issues some players are experiencing and are investigating right now. I will update this thread when we have more info.

Hi Holotable Heroes,

We finished our monthly Developer Q&A earlier today and I have added all the responses from the team to the thread. Thanks for all the great questions (even the hard ones!)

Hi Holotable Heroes,

Today’s Server Update contains some minor server changes. There is nothing publicly changing with today's update. We will be rolling out the server update over the next hour. Once complete, we will notify you in this thread.

Welcome to the first edition (in quite some time) of the State of the Galaxy. Previously we used the State of the Galaxy as a catch all, update on the game, which eventually morphed into what is now “the Road Ahead”. Over time we realized that the Road Ahead was acting like a single monolith of information and that we didn’t have enough touch points with the community where we acknowledged things that were going well (and not so well) in the game. We want to use the State of the Galaxy as the once-a-month check-in with the players talking about our progress on building new features, what may be coming out that month, and discuss some tough topics that are currently affecting the game.

Our hope is that the Road Ahead acts as our broad intent about upcoming major changes to the game, the State of the Galaxy is our monthly check in, and the monthly Q&A is a way that we can talk about things in the Road Ahead and the State of the Galaxy with you in addition to our other normal p...

Hello Holotable Heroes,

With the upcoming release of Relics, I wanted to provide everyone with some information about how you will be able to upgrade your Relics once a character reaches Gear 13.

As has been mentioned in prior posts, the Scavenger lets you convert gear into scrap that can be used to upgrade your Relics. Each scrap can be made by converting gear from certain MK levels. We tried to make it very straight forward (e.g. Scrap 1 uses gears Mk 1 - Mk 3, Scrap 2 uses gears Mk 4 - Mk 6, etc.), but there may be certain pieces of Scrap that don’t follow that rule perfectly.

In addition to Scrap, you will also Signal Data to upgrade Relics. Signal Data will be farmable from certain Cantina Nodes. As part of this change, we shuffled some shards around and removed a few characters to give us some space to add the new Signal data to Cantina Nodes:

Hi Holotable Heroes,

Today’s Server Update contains some minor server changes but there is nothing publicly changing with today's update. We will be rolling out the server update over the next hour. Once complete, we will notify you in this thread.

From our Feature Producer CG_154M:

In today’s Relics post, we’re going to be talking about how to upgrade Relic Amplifiers and the upcoming feature we’re releasing to help you do that.

Once you reach G13, as explained in this previous post, the Relic icon is unlocked and starts at Level 0. The Relic Amplifier can be upgraded from Level 1 to Level 7 (at launch). Each upgrade is a permanent power boost, similar in stat space to a star level, except:

1. the stats impacted are sharper about adding stronger “Archetype” identiti...

Beginning on September 9th, 2019, in order to accommodate the new features and graphics associated with the game’s next update, Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is no longer supported on some legacy iOS devices.

The minimum required iOS version was previously iOS 8.0 and is now iOS 10.0. The list of unsupported devices can be found below. After the update on 9/9, players on unsupported devices will be unable to download the newest version of the game, and the App Store will highlight that their device is unsupported.

At any time before or after the update, players can import their account from an unsupported device to a supported device using their in-game Player ID and/or Ally Code. Your account will still be available and ready to play on a supported device. For more information on how to link your account, please visit ... Read more

Hi Holotable Heroes,

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

Daily Login Character for September: Clone Sergeant - Phase 1

From our Feature Producer CG_154M:

Hi Holotable Heroes,

Newly installed on all of your character cards, the Relic Amplifier increases the power and utility of your character collection. This is accomplished through the new Archetype model that leverages the Primary Stat and Role of each of your characters to more sharply define each Role - and provide more distinction between characters that share the same Role, but that use different Primary Stats. With the goal of making your characters feel distinct, each Archetype accentuates the confluence of a character’s Primary Stat and Role, allowing us to further sharpen these distinctions as you upgrade a character’s Relic.

With the new Relic Amplifier system, we’ve taken the three Primary Stats, (Strength, Agility, and Tactics) and the four existing Roles, (Attacker, Tank, Healer, and Support) to create the 12 new Archetypes. The power and utility for each Archetype will be supercharged ... Read more

Hi Holotable Heroes,

We’ve seen reports of scoring issues with the Championship Leaderboard. After a quick investigation, we determined these are valid scores and are due to players who received a bye in their round. Players who receive a bye are immediately granted the full possible score for completing that round (based on division) plus the 1000 points for winning.

We have seen some cases where the points for winning can come a bit later if a player logged out immediately but we are monitoring for any issues with the Grand Arena Championship Leaderboard.

Please let us know if you see anything else suspicious. Thank you!

Hi Holotable Heroes,

Today’s Server Update contains a fix Grand Arena Championship's lifetime score issue.

CHANGES

• [GRAND ARENA] - Removed extra lifetime points that rolled over from the previous season. You will need to reboot your client to see these changes.

We will be rolling out the server update over the next several hours. Once complete, we will notify you in this thread.

Hi Holotable Heroes,

We're aware of an issue where the Grand Arena Championship lifetime score was not reset for all players.

We're targeting a hotfix for some time tomorrow to address this issue. The current Grand Arena Championship will continue and all score earned so far will remain.

We'll give an update here tomorrow when we know more about the hotfix timing.

Hi Holotable Heroes!

Here is all the new content you’ll find after today’s update, 8/23/2019.

CHARACTERS AND SHIPS
"It's been said that the 501st got the best of the war. We also got the worst." – 501st Journal

Your favorite Clone Troopers from the 501st are entering battle with renewed resolve. Echo, Fives, and Rex have been reworked and proudly represent their legion with a new 501st faction tag!

Following the commands of a Jedi General, Clone Captain Rex leads the 501st into the heat of battle, and Rex’s reworked kit allows the new 501st faction to synergize even better with their clone brethren. Fives and Echo work well together, and their history in Domino Squad means Fives is willing to sacrifice anything to keep his Clone Trooper allies alive. Echo lays down a hail of blaster fire whenever his allies take aim and can now stun enemy D... Read more

Hi Holotable Heroes,

Grand Arena Championships will be returning on Monday 8/26. Sign ups will begin at 14:00pm PT (21:00 UTC)

All Championship points earned from the canceled Championship have been removed in yesterday’s server update alongside several fixes for the mode:

• [GRAND ARENA] - Fixed an issue that would cause the WIN/LOSS text to be missing if the player did not log in until the next phase.
• [GRAND ARENA] - Fixed an issue that was causing unclaimed Championship points from the previous season to be applied to the next season instead of just the Lifetime Score

Hi Holotable Heroes,

There were a bunch of good questions recently about the Clone Troopers and how their kits exactly work so I sat down with a couple designers to clarify. We also have two changes that we are making to the kits before release: Fives’ description for his Unique 2 isn’t clear that it’s a heal and we also found an infinite loop with Echo and Cody in PvP & PvE.

KIT QUESTIONS

Health Increase from Rex’s Leader Ability
Rex’s leader ability states the following: "Clone Trooper allies and 501st allies have +20% Max Health. This increase is doubled for 501st Clone Troopers and halved for other allies." It’s a bit confusing but here’s a quick breakdown of how much extra health each faction will receive.

• 501st only: +20% Max Health
• Clone Trooper only: +20% Max Health
• 501st Clone Trooper: +40% Max Health
• Everyone else: +10% Max Health

Cooldown Reduction from Rex’s Unique Ability... Read more

From our Feature Producer CG_154M:

Hi Holotable Heroes,

In a few weeks, with the introduction of our next progression system – Relic Amplifiers – we are “closing off” additional gear tiers for all characters for the foreseeable future, after they reach G13. Instead, gear and future gear materials will be used to improve a character’s Relic. We will also be kicking off a new round of changes intended to make it easier for players to reach higher gear tiers and access the Relics system. (More on how this is going to work in a future post!)

The next time you enter the Character Collection view on a G13 character, after the update, here’s what you’re going to see:
Example of the new character screen once you reach G13
We believe this is a big change for the game, for us, and for you, the players. We’ve been considering this change for some time. The Gear progre... Read more
