TOPIC: Quality of life

Q: Would it be possible to add some confirmation warning dialog for joining to grand arena? This is common issue that people joining accidentally but there is no rejoin button, so having such warning would be helpful.
[list]
[*] A: CG_Tophat - It is possible. I just wrote the ticket and put it into the backlog. No promises on when it shows up, but we'll try to get it figured out soon.
[/list]

Q: Is displaying in-game stats something within reach for the development team? Example if character 1 and 2 are granting character 3 potency up could CH create an in battle screen or pop up that would show the total potency character 3 has
[list]
[*] A: CG_Coffee - We have a lot of interest in this and think it's a great idea, it comes down to implementing it. It's not a simple task to get in so needs a good chunk of time allocated to it. Getting the UI to work how we... Read more

TOPIC: Bugs

Q: What is your plan to improve the ai performance of GL Rey? The way she is now makes her objectively worse than kylo in all modes despite steeper unlock requirements. Stuff like the interactions shown in videos should never happen.
[list]
[*] A: CG_Coffee - The interaction in the video was addressed and has been fixed.
[/list]

Q: There are several errors in the german localisation (and i'm sure also in some other languages), which are known for a long time, but never corrected (example: Xanadus Blood). can we please get correct ability descriptions?
[list]
[*] A: CG_Tophat - Put them in Answers HQ. High Command and Jedi Mind Tricks have been trying to clean those up for awhile. They just did a batch of them a few months ago. Please send them our way!!!
[/list]
Comment
TOPIC: Mechanic

Q: What does it mean to have more than 100% defense, shouldn’t they just not take damage?
[list]
[*] A: CG_Miller - When a game allows bonuses to go higher than 100% it's usually to provide a buffer against things that lower the amount, and those debuffs to be more obvious. If a character has "120% Defense" and then something lowers it by 20% it will read as 100%, but the player knows the -20% did *something* at least. If it were just 120% behind the scenes and displayed at 100% you wouldn't see any change if you hit it with -20%, and your immediate reaction is that its a bug or broken in some way.
[/list]

Q: Why do the galactic legends characters have such a rigid attack priority instead of a more random one?
[list]
[*] A: CG_Coffee - As the game has evolved we've gotten better tools to use when designing a character. For characters as powerful as Galactic Legen... Read more

TOPIC: Content

Q: With the Mandalorian coming to the game soon, can we also expect the addition of his ship the Razor Crest, and if so, are there any plans in the future for a larger bounty hunter fleet or a scoundrel fleet?
[list]
[*] A: CG_Miller - Bounty Hunters do have a lot of ships don't they? We're trying very hard to make sure that fleets contain ships within their own faction, but in some cases like Resistance there just isn't enough to go around. This isn't the case with Bounty Hunters so they are definitely a faction worthy of getting a "build around" unit.
[/list]

Q: Why is Greef Karga going to be light side instead of neutral? Considering he was a secondary antagonist throughout most of the first season I really expected a neutral tag.
[list]
[*] A: CG_Miller - Greef's look doesn't really change throughout the series so that makes it incredibly difficult to make mu... Read more

TOPIC: General
Q: Will live PVP ever make its way to the game? I know its a big change but I enjoy the game and would like to keep playing after doing dailies and anything else.
[list]
[*] A: CG_Tophat - It could one day, but it's not on the development roadmap at this time. I know there's a number of people on the team that have an interest in it. The number of times it's come up as a conversation over the years is too many to count. So why haven't we done it? It comes back to something I wrote about in the sandbox mode response (and that I've said in a number of the Dev Q&As): it's all about tradeoffs. In our earliest conversations, we had a feeling that the characters we were making at the time were not diverse enough to make for a robust enough live pvp system (and we still needed to make guilds and raids). Over time the question then transitioned to, are there enough places for everyone to play (beyond the hardcore pvpers) and... Read more

Yes these three characters were the full team. But i also noticed this damage difference in other cases where i had a full team (also Bastila lead).

Cool, thanks for that. I'll take a look.

Comment

Was that the full team you were running (Bastila (L), Shaak Ti, and Aayla)?

Comment

Can you PM me your ally code and the time it happened please so that we can look into this? Thanks!

FINAL TEXT: (ZETA) All Scoundrel allies have +5 Speed



Er, is this a typo?

Hi Holotable Heroes,

Today we have one of the most exciting new characters in Galaxy of Heroes, the Mandalorian! This mysterious man of few words works as a Bounty Hunter at the far edge of the galaxy. No one really knows where he came from or how he's so well-equipped for battle but few question his ability to bring in a target. Whether taking a Swift Shot with his blaster pistol or readying his Amban sniper rifle to instantly disintegrate his enemy, the Mandalorian is always prepared to take on whatever g... Read more

I'm just happy you guys think my artwork looks like the guy. Likeness is hard work.

That's not a bug but the intended design.

Hi Holotable Heroes,

Today we are taking a deeper look at Greef Karga, a notorious scoundrel and the go-to-guy for connecting Bounty Hunters with clients on Nevarro. Greef is always trying to spot the most lucrative solution to whatever predicament he finds himself in, and his abilities reflect this. He prefers to hang back while other Bounty Hunters work to achieve their Payouts and he supports the squad with mass assist calls and frequent recovery of Health and Protection.

The Basics:
  • Greef K...

Hi Holotable Heroes,

Today we are taking a deeper look at Cara Dune, a veteran Rebel Shock Trooper who has reinvented herself as a mercenary since leaving military life behind. This tough, no-nonsense brawler hasn’t forgotten how to fight an enemy like the Empire and can be difficult to take down in battle. While Cara can find a place as a deadly ambusher on a Scoundrel squad, she’s equally at-home under a Rebel leader, defending her allies as a front-line combatant.

The Basics:
  • Cara Dune has both th...

Hi Holotable Heroes,

Last week we became aware of a loophole with Galactic Legends that causes Rey and Kylo to prioritize attacking an invulnerable character repeatedly. This normally cannot occur but there is a special case when General Skywalker is paired with Wat Tambor and Fives that causes the Galactic Legends to behave unexpectedly.

We are aiming to deploy a fix to prevent this behavior on 4/23 and this change will be in effect for the next Territory War (NOTE: AI is not impacted by roster lock). This update will not impact the abilities of any of these characters and their kits will not be altered.

Thank you for understanding.

Hi Holotable Heroes,

We were just made aware of some possibly unintended interactions around Galactic Legends AI. We need some time to dive into this issue and investigate. We will let you know early next week when we have reviewed the data if or what changes we plan to make to address this.

Thank you for your patience and have a good weekend.

Hi Holotable Heroes,

We’ve been watching the data on Galactic Legends and observed some players struggling with completing Tier 6 of Supreme Leader Kylo Ren’s event. We will be adding the following hint to the tier:

Increase Supreme Leader Kylo Ren’s Mastery in order to overwhelm his opponents. The granted ability, That’s An Order, can be used to provide him with additional turns and prevent him from being defeated for a short time.

Most players are using squads with the right amount of power but possibly a weaker combination of characters than we expected. We also suggest experimenting with team compositions that can funnel Kylo extra turns and protect him while he ramps Mastery.

We hope these hints help you complete your journey to Galactic Legends and we will continue to closely review the data around win rates and team compositions.

See you on the Holotables!
