[2019] Developer Q&A - 11/01

The Cantina is not currently loading in game for many. Is there anyone not doing Q&A able to address this issue?

We are aware and the team is working on it. I'll post updates here but the Q&A will go on! You probably don't want the folks in this room mucking about with server code anyways! Creative Directors and Community Managers aren't exactly hired for their coding skils :smile:

I think its good you can put out some faster ships without pilots like the non droid Y wing. But i hope not all ships will be like this going forward and there will still be some piloted ones? i think a healthy mix will add alot to ships!

There will definitely still be piloted ships in the future! Some ships releases in the future may have pilots and some may not depending on what makes sense for the game

Hi,

Can you please allow us to sell undesired mods away directly from the Inbox? :)

CG_SvennGG mentioned last Q&A that it's something he's looking into for a future QoL update. Would make our lives way easier so fingers crossed!

Hi Devs ! Hope you are well.

I was wondering

1. when is ARC trooper dropping ? and how ?
2. timeline for haat SIM
3. is there a plan to change HSTR rewards so the top 10 is not the only place within the raid where there best stuff drops a shift to haat or pit style distribution of rewards ?

Thanks a bunch !

1. He's going be released soon and will tie into an upcoming event... maybe you can guess which one!
2.+3. Cyanides is about to address these 2 in the OP

Hey Devs,

Is Darth Sidious ever gonna get the Separatist tag like Jango?

Imo, you don't even need to change his kit :smiley:

Best,

We were just chatting about this and I don't think he's actually a Separatist like Jango. Jango was hired and was working for the Separatists. Sidious is pulling their strings and never direct allies with them. He then turns on the Separatists when its convenient, not exactly a good friend. I'd have to check with our lore experts but that's our initial read

What about maul?

His Sidious' boy though right? So same logic I'd think

So Sidious never worked with Dooku? Sidious never intereacted with Nute Gunray and directed him to do certain things?. So funny how you won't give Sidious the Separatist tag even though he directs all of their moves for years, but Ahsoka gets a Nightsister tie in with her leadership ability for something that happened in 1 Clone Wars episode.

Sure, then turns around a moment later to have them decapitated! They seem like pawns, more than allies. I honest could go either way but that was my initial read

Can we get a commitment, similar to the Character Release Cadence, that applies to currency like Guild Event Tokens and Grand Arena Currency?

At this point we feel like none of it can ever be spent for fear of a major character requiring a large amount of currency.

I'll send this over to Cyanides and see if we can get an answer for this

Soooo @CG_SBCrumb are y’all done answering questions now? In the handful of obviously very carefully selected questions you answered, not once did the 5 ton elephant in the room question come up and/or get answered! When are you all going to be re-opening the Malak event? It’s been two weeks now since the initial issue and still no resolution for those of us that didn’t get to even attempt Pt to unlock him!! It’s 🤬 that NOTHING is even be said about this issue!,

We should have an update today on when the event will return. Tophat has addressed the issue in a few responses and I've still got a whole pile more of answers that I'm working to get live.

BetterCallMaul;c-2000499

When can we expect information on LS GeoTB? We’re weeks away and have no info, with DS we had info almost a month in advance.

We've got a bunch of posts detailing the Light side version like last time. I'd expect that to kick off early next week most likely

Q: Is Unending Loyalty working as intended?The number of turns it lasts sometimes feels inconsistent?
[list]
[*] A: CG_Miller - There was a bug with Unending Loyalty where it would make Anakin's starfighter unkillable, that was fixed with the latest update. We are paying attention to how this fix plays out and if there is more to address with the ability we will do so.
[/list]

It doesn't refresh when it's re-applied while active. That's just as frustrating a bug, but I've never seen it make the list.

I'll let the team know it's still a big problem. Thanks

WulW;c-2000494

Why you have not answered on any question concerned with General Skywalker?

Still running through and posting everyone's responses so stay tuned but we don't get to everyone

I've still got a ton of questions to post from the team but taking 5 to eat lunch. Will keep posting their responses shortly but I'm going to stop gathering new questions from the thread.

Mugami_Chinzano1;c-2000529

what's for lunch?

Peruvian steak sandwich. Back to work for me! More answers going up now

MagicMatthews99;c-2000537

You've refused to give me an answer on whether or not we will get a Jawa portrait.

I don't believe we have one planned at the moment but maybe one day if we find a good reason!

One good reason to add one tomorrow is because they're Jawas and Jawas are the best.

Some how I still have like 20 more answers from Tophat to post. I've got to take a break to get a few other things done but I'll get the rest up before the end of the day
