Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Dev Tracker

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.

Hi Holotable Heroes,

The Variable Geometry Self-Propelled Battle Droid, also known as the Vulture Droid, is coming to the holotables! This Droid starfighter, commonly used by the Trade Federation, is a fast and agile attacker that is easily damaged, but also easily replaced. These mass-produced ships are capable of launching Buzz Droids at enemy ships and ripping through their armor, weakening it for further attacks. For the first time on the holotables, this ship doesn’t require any crew, which means you can unlock the Vulture Droid and use it to reinforce your armada immediately. I sat down with ... Read more

Updated calendar with 2 missing event: Defense of Dathomir & Endor Escalation

Hi Holotable Heroes,

It’s time again for another Road Ahead. As CG_Erik, mentioned last week I’ll be taking over writing the Road Ahead posts. If you haven’t seen my name pop-up before, I’m the Live Producer. The Live Operations team is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the game. We introduce new characters, ships, and events. I’m really excited to talk about what’s coming next.


With that said, let’s step into the Cantina and see what the future has in store for the next few months.

The Battle Rages On...
It’s been a few weeks since Separatist Might landed and we’ve already seen guilds do some incredible things. Team Instinct and Mighty Chlοrians were the first guilds to get to at least 30 stars! Congratulations to both Team Instinct and Mighty Chlorians and good luck on the march to 33 stars! Also, about 80 players have beaten th... Read more

Hi Holotable Heroes,

Today’s Server Update returns crystals and gear for game issues that occurred previously. We will be rolling out the server update over the next several hours. Once complete, we will notify you in this thread.

CHANGES

• [GENERAL] - Refunded crystals that were spent on Fleet Arena refreshes for Feat completion during the canceled Grand Arena Championship Exhibition. An inbox message will be sent to eligible players after the server release is completed.
• [GENERAL] - Added functionality to identify duplicate Gear 12 finishers and refund the equipment to the affected users.
  Please Note: This is not a fix for creating duplicate Gear 12 finishers. The fix for not allowing creation of duplicate Gear 12 finishers will be deployed in our server update next week. Please be careful creating Gear 12 finishers until we have deployed the correct fix on August 5th.

Hi Holotable Heroes,

There has been lots of discussion around G12 Finishers since release and we want to remind players that this gear is unique to a character, cannot be used on the same character twice, and cannot be used on another unit. We will be refunding all duplicate G12 Finishers that have been crafted in today’s Server Update. Please note that this will not prevent players from crafting duplicates after the update. We are working to add more apparent notification in a future update but in general, we recommend double checking whatever you are crafting before you tap the button.

In addition to returning all materials used to craft duplicate G12 Finishers in a Server Update later today, we are investigating several longer term changes for a future update:

• Changing the name for all G12 Finishers to include the name of the character they can be applied to
• We are exploring ways to make this interaction more obvious such as a double confirmat...

Hi Holotable Heroes,

We have just released a client hotfix to the Google and iOS app stores. This hotfix includes bug fixes and some additional logging to help us track down a couple of evasive issues. You can visit your respective apps stores to update immediately or we will require all players to update with the next content release.

CHANGES

• [GENERAL] - Made a few changes to help better manage memory on iOS devices, which should help reduce the amount of memory related crashes
• [GENERAL] - Fixed an issue where some ship battles resulted in a soft lock where all ability icons disappeared and players were forced to restart the game
• [GUILD EVENT] - Fixed an issue where a player could advance to a “non-existent” phase in Territory Battles if the player remained in the map preview after the end of the final phase

KNOWN ISSUES

• [GENERAL] - There have been multiple re...

Hi Holotable Heroes,

Over the past 5+ years of the game’s development and live service, there have been a number of changes in the Galaxy of Heroes team. Typically, we don’t make public announcements when someone leaves or joins the team. However, given her presence in the community, we felt it important to let you know that CG_Carrie is leaving Electronic Arts.

We appreciate Carrie’s many contributions to Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, to Capital Games, and to EA. We wish her all the best in her future endeavors.

Moving forward, the team has ambitious plans for the future and remains committed to delivering an ever-evolving, high-quality Star Wars game experience to fans around the world. As the next step in communicating that plan, CG_TopHat will be posting the Road Ahead announcement next week.

Thanks again for your continued support and participation in this amazing community!

Erik

Hi Holotable Heroes,

We’ve taken a look at the interaction between the Jawas and Geonosians, and while the way thermal detonators are being applied is bugged (pun mildly intended), we think this is an interesting interaction and do not intend to take it away.

As such, we’re still working out the details, but we think we’re going to turn the bug into the intent and change the description to match. The ability moving forward will look something like the below (we’re still working on the final text and may change):

"At the end of each turn, Jawa Scavenger has a 50% chance to inflict a Thermal Detonator on all enemies that used an ability that turn for each time a Jawa ally was attacked that turn."

We’ll roll out the fix in an upcoming release and will notify you when that’s incoming.

EDIT: Updated the ability description

Hi Holotable Heroes,

Before we restarted the first Grand Arena Exhibition, some players spent crystals to refresh their Fleet Arena in order to complete one of the Championship feats. All eligible Championship players who used crystals to refresh Fleet Arena between the start of the event and the restart will be sent the spent crystals along with an inbox message explaining the issue. We are planning for an update to send these crystals out sometime next week, but we will let you know closer to the release.

This took longer than we expected to solve so thank you for your patience. See you on the holotables!

Hi Holotable Heroes!

Today’s Server Update contains two fixes for the Grand Arena Championships. We will be rolling out the server update over the next hour. Once complete, we will notify you in this thread and your client will need to reboot.

CHANGES

• [EVENT] - Only Lifetime Season Score points will be incremented when granted from a previous season. This could occur if players did not login and claim their Season Score Points prior to the end of a season.
• [EVENT] - Championship Points for clearing zones with no defenses will now only be granted to the attacker.

EDIT 4:55pm:

Hi Holotable Heroes,
There was an issue with Fleet Energy that resulted in some players appearing to not regenerate energy. This was due to Fleet Energy being set to a negative state for some players during the update earlier today. This issue will be resolved by either waiting for Fleet Energy to actually reach 0 (could be up to 14 hours in extreme cases) or by refreshing Fleet Energy one or twice.

We've sent all players level 60 and up 150 crystals to assist with refreshing. If you are not seeing the inbox with the crystals, refresh your Inbox by tapping Allies or restarting your client.

We apologize for the inconvenience. See you on the Holotables.

We are aware there are issues with Fleet energy. The team is investigating right away and we will keep you up to date on the status of the fix in this thread.

CHARACTERS AND SHIPS
For more info on these units, check out the kit reveals and strategy guides below:

The Geonosians are emerging from the hive with all-new tactics! Sun Fac, Poggle the Lesser, Geonosian Spy, and Geonosian Soldier have all been reworked to make use of the Hive Mind buff and are ready to join forces in battle.

Each Geonosian has received some big changes to their kit, and while under the influence of Hive Mind, they gain even more deadly effects.

The next phase of Seperatist Might starts later tonight. Use your freshly reworked Geonosians to battle the fierce Acklay!
