I make those sort of mistakes all the time at work and sometimes you just gotta look at and laugh. Glad you were a good spirit about it. Sorry if I came across a little mean.

Not at all, friend!

What worries me is them saying we're going to give Anakin a zeta after Padmé is released but will monitor their performance to make sure they're not overperforming. So they're gonna release both and maybe nerf them after people have whaled/geared?

We're running a closed beta test right now to gather that data and ideally make any needed changes prior to Padme's release.

100% agree. Hope this level of communication continues.

Thank you! It's been a really respectful conversation so far - and that helps us open up further. We'll keep trying to be as transparent as we can and share our thought process.

Best line

Desired performance targets, will edit.

Some of the changes we are considering would make him work synergize more specifically inside a Galactic Republic squad

English is hard.

Ha! I even tried reading it backwards and still missed that. Good catch!

For a few seconds there, I thought we were getting more eyeballs. Then I read the rest of it. :'(

Give me all the eyeballs!

Hey Holotable Heroes,

I wanted to give a quick update on our announcement last Friday that we were looking into Anakin’s performance and whether or not he is too powerful, particularly where we want him to sit in the meta versus some specific teams like Darth Malak/Darth Revan. Our initial investigation has yielded the following results:

Since we released Jedi Knight Anakin’s rework, only 8,000 players have used Jedi Knight Anakin under a Jedi Knight Revan lead to fight against Darth Revan & Darth Malak. That represents less than 1% of the total battles fought by the entire community during this window. Of these battles, JKA is holding on defense approximately 20% of the time and is winning on offense around 50% of the time. This is completely in-line with how we would like two powerful squads to interact, given that we intend for Darth Malak to have a bit of an edge - but still possible for players to overcome.

Many players astutely noted that Anakin’s... Read more

Hi Holotable Heroes,

Sorry to necro this old thread but I was somewhere distracting... I'll investigate how hard it would be for us to do. Seems like a good idea to me but I'll check with the team!

Comment

Thanks all for the additional information, much appreciated. Looks like it's not platform specific. We've flagged it for further investigation now.

Hey, thanks for the report. We did have a display issue flagged with some of the rewards icons not being shown correctly on the Rewards screen (just visual, the actual rewards were being added correctly to the inventory), but it was fixed in one of the recent updates.

I haven't seen any other similar reports lately so it might be an isolated occurrence.

The steps below might fix the issue if you are willing to give it a try:

  • Uninstall the game (make sure your account progress is linked to Google Play or Game Center before uninstalling and also make note of your Ally Code just in case).
  • Make sure your device is connected to a strong and stable Wi-Fi network.
  • Reinstall the game.
  • Launch the game and leave it in the Home Screen for around 30 min without playing so it can finish downloading all assets correctly.

If you decide to try it please let me know how it goes and if the issue remains after reinstall.

Hahaha. I like that you can take time to laugh at yourself a bit, shows resilience in the face of a very reactive community. Thanks for taking the time to communicate with us.

We love you guys - even when you're salty!

We have a lot of room to improve on many fronts - I'm not sure you're ever *there*- but this team works (and will keeping working) really hard and cares about the community and long-term health of the game.

This game has outlasted similar garbage because, historically, despite the emotional tone the community can take at times, it has been a reasonably balanced affair (ok, and STAR WARS, but I like DC and stopped playing that ho-hum game). The difference between F2P and P2P was generally time, and that was fair, it sorts itself out.

The INCREDIBLY CONCERNING thing about the Malak response to EP and that line about Anakin is that you aren’t prioritizing balance. I say this constructively. And the bulk of your post is exactly the kind of community management this game needs! Honest, holding yourself accountable but not making excuses. The thing you have to remember is that the best way to make the most money over the longest time is to pla...

Thanks for the support /u/mimregi! I really appreciate you speaking from your experience!

I fully agree that our community is loud because people care so much, which is wonderful! I'd be far more concerned if we heard crickets when dropped difficult news.

The balance is a really delicate thing to protect that we think a lot about, and we're learning how to open up to the community about our thought process around it, but there's room to improve. Perhaps we can address more around it in an upcoming Dev Q&A.
