Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Dev Tracker

Hi Holotable Heroes,

Due to the minor server outage on May 11th that impacted Territory Wars, we will be sending all players eligible for Territory Wars 250 Crystals as an apology. Our servers experienced higher than normal load over the weekend and caused some players to have issues participating in Territory Wars. We are working to prevent this issue in the future and ensuring that this problem does not occur again.

Due to the feedback we’ve received about the different formats of Territory Wars and that an original rules version was affected, we’re planning to run original 5v5 versions for the foreseeable future. As always, this is subject to change.

Good luck and we’ll see you on the holotables.

-Crumb

An unexpected surge in writes to the guild-territory-zone-data table started at 10:00AM PST and continued steadily for the next twenty minutes, so the Galaxy of Heroes Tech Ops team has been increasing the write provisioning on that table. This potentially would have affected anyone trying to access Territory War, and should be resolving now.

We'll monitor the effects of this on guilds and determine the impact and makegood on Monday.

Hi Holotable Heroes!

Today’s update will address the few players who are still missing Padme shards and complete the roll back of gear for Sith Assassin.


CHANGES

• Credited players who did not receive all Padme shards for completing certain stages of Aggressive Negotiations
• Completed rollback of gear for players with Sith Assassin for those who were missed last week

Please note that you will need to reboot your client if you are not seeing the above changes after the update.

Hi folks,

We are aware of the issue with Grand Arena and mods not locking properly. This was brought to our attention recently and we already have a fix ready but it requires a title update (IE an update through the app store). This will most likely roll out with Grand Arena Championships or the new Territory Battle.

In the mean time, please do not do this! This goes against the spirit of the game and as with all exploits for any game mode, this is a bannable offense.

If you suspect someone is using this exploit, please send a direct message to ... Read more

Hi Holotable Heroes,

The May Calendar has been updated and the 5/5 TW will now start later today (5/6)

Our apologies as this was adjusted in an update last week but we neglected to change the calendar on the forums. This event also has a slightly later start time than usual but will go live later today.

Hi Holotable Heroes,

We hope you are enjoying the Double Drops and you put those Zetas on your favorite character. A huge thank you from everyone at Capital Games for another wonderful year of Star Wars.
Happy Star Wars Day and May the Fourth be with you!

Hi folks,

A small number of folks who had G12 Sith Assassin were not rolled back correctly. This does not impact all players who had G12 Sith Assassin prior to the announcement. We will be addressing this in a hotfix next week. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Hi Holotable Heroes,

We missed a change in our Update Notes from this week's release (5/1):

• Units will no longer be automatically reordered in battle. Unit placement in battle is determined by order in the Squad Selection screen. This is entirely a visual change for where units are placed on the screen in battle.

The Update Notes have been revised to include the missing change. Find the full Update Notes here.

Hi Holotable Heroes,

The next Territory War (starting 5/5) will have the same bonuses as the special events in April.

Please note the following:

• The description for Unstable Batteries in game is incorrect and does not mention droids need to be destroyed by Unstable Batteries to trigger the 80% of max health explosion. Fixed this is week's update
• The in game description for the "The Swarm" special ability does not specify that it only affects Geonosian Ships

Character Abilities


All Hans On Deck:
Granted to: Captain Han Solo, Han Solo, Stormtrooper Han, Veteran Smuggler Han Solo and Young Han Solo

Each Han takes a bonus turn at the start of the encounter. During this turn, each Han ignores Taunts and can only use his Basic ability, but it will Stun the target for 1 turn. This Stun can't be evaded or resisted. Additionally, each active Han grants a bonus to all other Han ... Read more

Hi folks,

We are aware that some players are having issues connecting to the game. The team is investigating the cause and will deploy a fix as soon as possible.

Hi folks,

We are aware of the issue with the sounds and music not respecting your settings when you launch the game from scratch. We will address this in a future update but in the meantime you can toggle the sounds and music settings on and then back off and it will keep your sound settings off. This should only occur when you hard reset your game and not when you minimize the game and then switch back.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Hi Holotable Heroes!

Here is all the new content you’ll find after today’s update, 5/1/19.

With the release of Padmé Amidala’s kit yesterday, a number of players noted the stringent requirements to upgrade her gear level. After digging into those gear requirements, we realized she required more high-end gear than we intended. The following gear is in excess of her spec:

• 100x Mk 8 BioTech Implant Component
• 120x Mk 8 BioTech Implant Salvage
• 50x Mk 3 Czerka Stun Cuffs Salvage
• 50x Mk 5 A/KT Stun Gun Prototype Salvage

This was due to an error in the gear creation tool we use to design characters, which has been rectified.

First things first, we want to say thank you to the testers who jumped in to help us test Padmé over the last week. The first test was launched rapidly and the testers started looking at it with very little notice from us. Early on in the process, the play testers were focused on identifying bugs, potentially problematic synergy interactions, etc., and it wasn’t until fairly late in the proces... Read more

Hi holotable heroes,

We are aware of an issue with Padmé's published gear and will further address it tomorrow.

Hi Holotable Heroes,

Last week we revealed that the next big character in our Clone Wars campaign will be Padmé Amidala. Today I’m chatting with CG_Fugitive, who worked as the main designer on Padmé Amidala’s kit, to bring you some insight into how the team brought Padmé to life in Galaxy of Heroes.



OVERVIEW

• SBC: What comes to mind when I say “Padmé Amidala” to you?
• CGF: Padmé is a strong leader that is courageous while also being empathic and compassionate. In doing a ton of research for her kit, I realized she puts on a strong, unwavering face for politics but under that layer is a character driven to achieve her goals by any means necessary. She can be very cunning but couples it with compassion. At her core, she is the definition of a light side character. Even though she may subtly manipulate people, she always does it for the greater good and never for personal gain.

• SBC: Why d...
