Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Dev Tracker

Theres no instruction booklet for running an online F2P licensed RPG game thats been highly successful for 5 years with no end in sight. Its happened so few times that theres very little “do this better” advice anyone could give. Its the most successful EA mobile game of all tIme and the most successful Star Wars game of all time (and its not just a “slap the license and print the money” because theres a TON of SW games out there that barely make any money)

So from that perspective, when I see the “fix your game” and “the devs are idiots” and “do this one thing if you want to fix this mode” posts ... well, you scratch your head a little bit.

I do mean to answer your question though, but a lot of it is “inside baseball” sh*t that can just be misinterpreted and weaponized and some of it is NDA’d for obvious reasons. I‘ll give you that I think feature development and live development need to be more in sync so when a big new feature like Galactic Challenges comes up it...

We are aware of an issue with the first time completion rewards. See https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/237248/galactic-challenge-bug-related-to-retreating-or-failing-during-first-attempt

Sorry I somehow managed to reply to the wrong thread, my bad.
This looks more like a game crash tbh.

Seems like Mother Talzin and Old Daka needed some rest (those battles are exhausting^^). We have already flagged this as a bug.

PM me your ally code and the date and time it happened, please, so that we can have a look.

On a live game, dont put an anchor on something a dev said 3 years ago, thats an eternity in game development and each series is handed very differently in terms of strategy, plus the industry has a ton of churn and its very possible whoever said that has long since left the company.

I see a ton of speculation in this sub treated as fact and then seeing other people speculate further on said speculation (which is both bizarre, funny and fascinating if youre curious about how conspiracy theories are built) so I get a bit jumpy when I see anything close to that behavior. Apologies from my end as well

Cannnnt talk about it (yet), but I can tell you that bringing The Child into the game was both a no brainer and a logistics puzzle because you want him to be visible and not stuck in the pram, which isnt exactly visually exciting, but its not like he actually DOES much on screen (lot of off screen action happening with him) IG-11 had similar problems in that visually speaking hes too similar to IG-88 and the other IG model so, besides animations, how do we make it stand out? Putting them both into one unit solves both problems as it makes the IG unit very worthwhile and distinct, while showcasing The Child in a very visible manner with a lot of potential for fun animations

Got a chance to return to Spain (Barcelona) and art direct a new game for Scopely. Too good a chance to pass up, which in itself sucks because I felt really comfortable as an Art Lead and the career path and relationships I had made and built within EA and Lucasfilm were (and are, I left on good terms) significant

If thats how they showcase The Child, by making it and IG-11 one unit, thats actually really creative ... definitely better than my proposed solution way back in April and it fixes two big problems in one fell swoop. Big ups to whoever solved that one.

Dont “point things out” if you’re just making them up lol. The first 3 Mando toons were made after the heavy load that was the first batch of GLs, we barely had time to make 3, making 2 more plus The Child would have been impossible.

We can't have Daka and Talzin sleeping on the job.

We've flagged this to the team for further investigation.

She's just practicing for the annual Halloween Dathomir Limbo contest...

We've now flagged this for the team to investigate further.
