Galactic Upgrade Kit

Post
Hi folks,

There was an issue over the weekend with the Galactic Upgrade Kit having the incorrect price listed on the Android store. The price on Android will be updated to the correct amount of $7.99 shortly. Also, it should be noted that the pack description is incorrect. The pack is only purchasable once in the period of time it is offered, not once per day. Apologies for any confusion.

We will not be issuing a refund for the differential. If the error had resulted in an increase to the price, we would refund those players, however since it was a discount, we will not be providing any compensation.

As a reminder, we do not do any sort of price testing such as showing one group of players one price and another group a different price. This was an error.

Galactic Upgrade Kit Purchase Issues

Post
Hi all,
We are aware of purchasing issues with the Galactic Upgrade Kit and are seeking information to resolve. There have been some reports of it not being purchaseable for some, and for others a pricing discrepancy (some people are seeing it for $6.99 US when the price is set to $7.99), so we are reaching out to get more information.

Because this may involve contacting groups outside of the studio over the weekend (and because the error is lower than the list price), we may end up resolving it tomorrow. Not today.

We'll keep you posted as we find out more info.

Friday Fun Fact

Comment

CG_SBCrumb;d-204354

I've been noticing a good number of Chewbacca portraits in my Arena and in GA but I was curious how many people actually equipped the new Title/Portrait. Our data experts showed me that over 97k players that have equipped the "Loyal Friend" title and the Portrait commemorating Peter Mayhew. That's pretty amazing! Thanks for keeping the memory alive!



Do you always post Friday Fun Facts? If not, you totally should. That'd be a nice, fun little boost of morale.


This is the first time but maybe we can make into something regular. I like cool data!

Improvements to Grand Arena Matchmaking

Post
From our Feature Producer:

We’ve been spending a lot of time internally looking qualitatively and quantitatively at player interactions with Grand Arena over the last several months in preparation for the release of Grand Arena Championships. While we’ve mostly focused on adding a layer of progression, variety and competition to the existing feature, one thing we’ve gotten plenty of feedback from players about is making changes to matchmaking.

Over the last few months, we’ve leaned much more heavily into Galactic Power as a matchmaking component because we saw that many players were concerned about the fairness of going up against a player with a meaningfully different collection size. This has resulted in a lot of fun, close matches, and very few “blowouts”, but it has also led to a bit of a disconnect in some players’ expectations, and resulted in some degenerative behavior patterns as a result.

Specifically, we’ve heard a lot from players who ... Read more

Nute Gunray FAQ

Post
Hi Holotable Heroes,

I’ve seen some good questions around Nute Gunray’s kit so I’ve put together a short FAQ of the hottest topics.

"In time, the suffering of your people will persuade you to see our point of view” - Nute Gunray
  • Q: How does Extortion work?
  • A: Extortion is an ability that you grant to enemies. They can choose to “spend” Extortion during their turn to get rid of it. If they do - you gain "Profit". If they don't, Nute’s kit has many ways to punish enemies who deny him his payment.
  • Q:When does the AI prioritize Extortion? What about Raid Bosses?
  • A: In most cases, the AI will use their other specials first, then use Extortion, and finally their basic - so it’s fairly easy to predict when the computer player will use it. Raid Bosses handle this the same way that other units do, but Raid bosses are of course immune to healing. You can extort raid bosses, and if the AI would choos...

Server Update 5/15/2019

Comment
Server Update is complete and all eligible players should have received their Ability Materials from Nute Gunray's Leader ability. If you have not, please reboot your client now.

May Calendar Update

Post
Hi Holotable Heroes,

I had posted with this month’s calendar that we may need to move or cancel the last Grand Arena this month but good news! We will have space in the calendar to run a 4th Grand Arena with some minor adjustments to accommodate for an upcoming release.
  • Review Periods for both Grand Arenas starting on 5/20 & 5/27 will be shortened to 1 hours (Review Period for 5/13 will be shorten to 1 hour too)
  • Preview/Sign Up Periods for 5/20 & 5/27 Grand Arenas will both be shortened to 23 hours

Also a reminder about Monday's changes to the calendar, Territory Wars will not have any bonuses (including the original bonuses: First Order, Resistance, Scoundrels and Bounty Hunter) going forward. Due to the feedback we’ve received about the different formats of Territory Wars and that an original rules version was a... Read more

Dooku and Nute Gunray reworks

While we have you here.....how does Extortion work with Raid Bosses? Or does it?

It works like normal. The AI will generally prioritize their Special Abilities over Extortion and using Extortion over their Basic

Dooku and Nute Gunray reworks

Comment

I like both of them. These are reasonable kits again. Still, why does Nute revive ?? I can’t seem to get it.

He manages to escape almost everytime he is captured! His revive is mostly based on how slippery a Separatist he is

Rally the Separatist Forces

Post
Hi Holotable Heroes,

Galaxy of Heroes' Clone Wars campaign continues with updated kits for Count Dooku and Nute Gunray. These reworks will provide two very different Leaders for your Separatist teams.

Count Dooku’s tune up will see him continue to be the countering powerhouse that he always has been, but now is a better choice of leader for the Separatists - no longer relying on General Grievous and the Separatist Droids.

Nute Gunray's character identity is getting some big changes. Nute Gunray extorts his opposition to fulfill his agenda by forcing his opponents to choose between two bad options. Will you give into Nute's extortion for now or pay the price later?

Note: We will be returning all Ability Materials on Nute Gunray's Leader Ability as we are shifting that character’s identity. Both the ability changes and the returning of the Ability Materials will occur in updates later this week.

Is this a known bug in rebel training event? happens on bluestacks and normal device. How can i fix it?

It is a known issue we are aware of. Keep an eye on the patch notes ( https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/categories/game-updates ) for any news.

Territory Wars Outage 5/11

Post
Hi Holotable Heroes,

Due to the minor server outage on May 11th that impacted Territory Wars, we will be sending all players eligible for Territory Wars 250 Crystals as an apology. Our servers experienced higher than normal load over the weekend and caused some players to have issues participating in Territory Wars. We are working to prevent this issue in the future and ensuring that this problem does not occur again.

Due to the feedback we’ve received about the different formats of Territory Wars and that an original rules version was affected, we’re planning to run original 5v5 versions for the foreseeable future. As always, this is subject to change.

Good luck and we’ll see you on the holotables.

Gotta love a match not loading, it eventually loads, says the opponent is in combat, and when you get back to the main screen, it shows I'm actually in the fight even though I'm not.

Thanks for posting. The last error occurred over 30 minutes ago, so you should be safe again. Message here: https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/203908/territory-wars-errors/p1?new=1

Territory Wars Errors

Post
An unexpected surge in writes to the guild-territory-zone-data table started at 10:00AM PST and continued steadily for the next twenty minutes, so the Galaxy of Heroes Tech Ops team has been increasing the write provisioning on that table. This potentially would have affected anyone trying to access Territory War, and should be resolving now.

We'll monitor the effects of this on guilds and determine the impact and makegood on Monday.

CG's communication strategy is only for damage control, and that's why this community is so negative.

What is it about Jira that you loathe? Not gonna lie, I get a little concerned when I hear people on a sw project talk like that. I've worked primarily on safety critical systems my career and tools like Jira & Bugzilla & others are crucial for knowing what's going on. I can understand why non-safety critical products might not need that same level of intense attention to detail but it's always helped things run smoother and especially keep track of problems.

I don't like overly rigid structures either...for example whenever I work with a legacy products using waterfall or spiral methods I do what I can to move away from that. But we've never moved away from using Jira-like tools for tracking features and bugs.

I'm not really bagging on the tool. It's more a shorthand for my own PTSD about the times I've had people who knew how to wield a hammer (JIRA) see everything as a nail - and the hours and hours of arcane debates I've had about "what exactly constitutes an Epic vs a Story vs a Subtask?" and other esoteric conversations that would make a mystic blush.

JIRA (or any number of other systems) are great for tracking the status of tasks, features, bugs, etc. and can be incredibly powerful tools if you do the work to configure it in a way that works with your team's workflow. I'm personally much more of a visual/tactile learner, always want to jump up and diagram stuff on a whiteboard, make mind maps, user story mapping, move sticky notes around, etc.

I remember early on in my career as a Producer on a different title, a Technical Director sat me down and told me the only way I could communicate with the engineering team was to deliver a flat list of user stories strict...
