Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Dev Tracker

Hi Holotable Heroes,

You may have seen the announcement last Friday that Mace Windu will be reworked with an all new kit and Omicron ability tiers! We will be posting a Kit Rework Reveal for Mace soon so stay tuned to the forums! In the meantime you can find the kit and an interview with the designer of Mace's rework here. We also have a few reminders and corrections about the release of Mace’s updated kit.

First off, the kit that was revealed Friday had one important change since the preview was recorded:

Basic Ability: Invincible Assault:
Deal Special damage to target enemy and inflict Ability Block for 1 turn. This attack deals bonus damage equal to 5% of Mace's ... Read more

Hi Holotable Heroes,

This Friday at 10pm ET (Saturday 3AM UTC) Crumb and Doja will be chatting with Hynesy on his Twitch stream!

What will we discuss? Find out by going to the link above and join in the fun.

Hi Holotable Heroes,

We are aware of reports of TIE Echelon and the First Order fleet's PvP performance versus Executor-led fleets.

The team is in the midst of investigating if there are any balance issues and if so, if these warrant any changes to either Executor or TIE Echelon or other potential solutions. We have not made any decisions as to whether action needs to be taken, but we will inform you in advance if there are any upcoming changes as a result of this investigation.

Hi Holotable Heroes,

We are aware of an issue with the Rebel Fleet Galactic Challenge feat in which players are not able to complete the feat with three Rebel ships as described. In order to complete the feat, five Rebel ships are needed.

Hi Holotable Heroes,

Today's update fixes an issue with Wampa's Omicron ability description.

The description has been updated to state:

While in Grand Arenas: Wampa gains +100% Tenacity. If there are no other active allies at the start of battle, Wampa gains +75% Defense, Max Health, Max Protection, and Offense, doubled if there is only 1 active enemy at the start of battle. Whenever Wampa is damaged by an attack, inflict 2 stacks of Damage Over Time for 3 turns on the attacking enemy, which can't be evaded or resisted, the cooldown of Furious Foe is reduced by 1, and gain +30% Tenacity (stacking) until the end of the encounter.

Hi Holotable Heroes,

The most recent update included changes to the Shipments tabs. These changes were announced in the updates notes found here.

That said, we recognize the update notes aren’t seen by everyone and that the messaging around this change should have been clearer. We will do our best to call these changes out more clearly in the future to prevent similar issues.

There have been concerns that this was a bug or that we are trying to mislead players into making unintentional purchases. Let us be very clear, these changes were made intentionally but were not intended to generate unintentional crystal purchases.

We also recognize that players may have accidentally purchased these items out of habit. If ... Read more

Hi Holotable Heroes,

Here is a list of the Data Disks appearing in Conquest 14.

Hi Holotable Heroes,

There is a discrepancy between Wampa’s kit description in-game and the one posted to the forums as part of Wampa’s Omicron ability update.

The in-game description incorrectly states Wampa gains 50% bonus stats, whereas the forum description states Wampa gains 75% bonus stats. The intention is that Wampa gains 75% bonus stats, and we will correct the in-game description to state the appropriate amount in a future update.

As far as my personal request that Wampa should be not be considered "Dark Side" simply for trying to eat and survive in a hostile, cold environment...no progress.

Hi Holotable Heroes,

Today’s update includes the arrival of the TIE Echelon, a new ship that will serve as a dedicated tank for First Order fleets! Additionally, Razor Crest blueprints will have a new home, Dark Trooper joins the accelerated character list, Wampa gets an Omicron ability, and we have a smattering of fixes.

Keep reading for more info.

Here is a list of some of the upcoming events for March 2022.
DISCLAIMER: ALL DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

Daily Login Character for March: Dark Trooper

Hi Holotable Heroes,

Today the current season of Grand Arenas will conclude, at which time we are anticipating an issue that will affect a very small number of players. This is similar to the issue we had at the close of the last Grand Arenas in January, which affects how rankings and end of season rewards are displayed.

Although this issue is expected to affect a very small number of players this time around, we’re raising awareness of it prior to the season ending to let players know we will be monitoring the situation and tracking affected accounts as we continue to w... Read more

Hi Holotable Heroes,

Today's server update grants the Grand Arenas Reschedule inbox to qualifying players, as well as a few fixes.

FIXES

• EVENT - Fixed an issue that resulted in players receiving an inbox message stating they "did not participate" in the Grand Arenas Season and therefore do not qualify for rewards, despite the fact they participated in the season and received rewards.
• EVENT - Fixed an issue that resulted in players not being able to make Conquest Battle Pass-related purchases after purchasing the Conquest Battle Pass.

Hi Holotable Heroes,

We are aware of an issue some players are experiencing trying to get into the game after today's Minor Title Update.

The team is busy implementing a hotfix, but for now you may want to avoid updating the game. If you have already begun the update process, it should still work even if you are experiencing the issue. However, it may appear as though nothing is happening (or the loading wheel will spin) for around 20 minutes (or longer) before the game begins to work properly.

We will provide updates about the hotfix when that is ready to implement.
