Wasn't there supposed to be some sort of upgrade yesterday making older IOS devices obsolete?



Yep. It started rolling out yesterday.

Hey, it was either this or a pun thread.



Wait we could have had a pun thread?????



I mean, it's not too late. Should we make this happen sooner rather than Vader?



I luke the way you're thinking.



You R2 good at this.

no idea what this post was trying to accomplish, So my Random Midweek Thoughts are how about talking about how under powered SEE and GML are compared to Rey or SLKR. Or how IT or Res Troops can beat them with blindfolds on? Why do they take so long to get to their ultimate's compared to other GL's



I obviously can't speak for Doja or other members of the community, but over the months there have been lots of requests showing greater interaction and communication from the developers. In this post, Doja highlights that he was paying attention to a thread on Reddit and investigating an odd interaction that a member of the community highlighted. To me and me alone, I see it as an attempt of sharing some light hearted fun with the community while showing that he is observing the community's threads on Reddit/forums and investigating issues for players. I see it as a ...

He is still ahead of the game but we have it on our radar.

No, it did not visually go into stealth by the next turn. Also when I hit the ship, it didn’t go into stealth

Thanks for the additional info, that helps to investigate.

Fair enough, again thanks for the response.

Last question if you'll permit, since I'm not a software guy,

Unfortunately in this scenario the risks involved are pretty high

What risks are there to this? Is it a matter of scores? Tm on the raid bosses?

I'm genuinely curious because this seems from a player perspective to be a fairly trivial thing, and it's apparently not.

I am not a software engineer or designer either, so I don't know the exact specifics around, sorry. But especially raid mechanics are pretty complex, so changing bits and pieces is not something we take lightly.

Did the ship go visually into stealth at the next turn by any chance?

Unfortunately, as I said before, it is actually working as designed and according to both character's kits.

Fair, not that it helps me in this case, but fair. However it does rather highlight the need for a cancel out of raid function if this is a working as designed interaction, because its working as designed to create an infinite loop. I keep hearing CG is against those.

As for the feature to retreat during an enemy's turn, that is something we already looked into but due to technical limitations, not an easy one to implement.

I'm glad to hear that, however the issue, as other comments have noted, has been around since 2018. Is it something that's actually actively being worked on or is it in the 'it would be nice, but never going to happen' pile?

I don't mind if it is, I'll simply plan better for future raids and write off the loss for this one, but saying its tough to do rather implies some...

You are correct, we usually try to avoid any infinite loops/fix them. Unfortunately in this scenario the risks involved are pretty high which is why the decision was made to not touch it for now. As for the retreat feature, that is most likely not going to happen in the foreseeable future.

Comment

That looks pretty bad tbh. Did you already complete a full and fresh reinstallation?

What device are you seeing this on and what is your ally code?

Comment

Damn...that was supposed to be the first part of a puzzle :( Nah just kidding, we wanted to give you some Halloween feelings =) Still kidding xd we are aware and are working on it.

Comment

As many stated, we flagged this for review with the team since it is something that impacts your raid score as a player. Unfortunately, as I said before, it is actually working as designed and according to both character's kits.

As for the feature to retreat during an enemy's turn, that is something we already looked into but due to technical limitations, not an easy one to implement.

Comment

If a character is unable to equip a piece of gear they won't be listed and the gear won't have the favorite tag on it. This is working as intended to avoid confusion. As for the yellow warning, that should appear on the main gear piece but not on the pieces that you need to craft the piece.

Hi,

 

I can indeed expand on this a bit more. At this time, Play Point Bundles are only live in select regions, but we are hoping to expand soon.

I saw the post from Doja_Fet on Friday and appreciate not pulling the event down. Thanks for coming back after a couple of days to make sure I was aware of the update. Communication is much appreciated.

Glad to hear it is appreciated, we will continue to do so!

None of those are simple though, even ship squads are not that easy to setup (I do think they’ll be added eventually though)

First off... congrats! Sounds amazing.

From what it sounds like (based on your comments) you think the player base is too hard on CG.

But in your opinion what is something they could do better?

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...
