They will run simultaneously but the guild's officers will choose which one your guild will participate in. You can't do both Geo TB and Hoth TB at the same time.

Zeta Mats: What’s the REAL odds on Challenges, and do you change them?

Comment
As we mentioned in the Q&A, we don't do any manual changing of odds in general. Additionally, we don't modify the drop rates of challenges from release to release.

Grand Arena Championships Feats and Leaderboards

Post
As part of Grand Arena Championships, we’re excited to introduce the Feats feature, launching with our next title update!

Feats are, simply put, limited-time Quests to complete during a Grand Arena Championship for bonus Championship Score and new Shipment tokens. The most important Feat at launch is for League Promotion, where claiming a Feat for getting promoted will award you crystals as well as a steadily increasing pile of gear salvage. Most other Feats are associated with Grand Arena, Squad Arena, and Fleet Arena prowess, and we think there are a lot of other ways we can build out Feats to include more and more activities (including PvE content) in the future, after seeing how players interact with the feature.

Why feats? Well, Grand Arena Championships are five-week long events, and we know that you don’t always best your opponent. Feats were added as an... Read more

Gear 12 Finishers Overview

Post
In our recent Dev Q&A we revealed that we would be releasing Gear 12 Finishers to the game. This has caused a fair bit of discussion and we wanted to take this opportunity to talk about what our intentions are around releasing these new pieces, along with some of the pertinent details surrounding them.

With the upcoming release of the Grand Arena Championship and Dark Side Geonosis, we wanted to expand the current offering of end game rewards so that we could create some new challenges – some made by us (Dark Side Geonosis) and some made by you (GA Lineups). Historically, it’s been our preference that when we release new features we include an expansion of our gear system, along with some new characters and ships. I can happily report that we are working on some new characters and ships to go along with Geonosis, but we aren’t ready to talk about that yet. We’ll be making some announcements soon.

Let’s dig in.

Developer Insights: Shaak Ti

Post
Hi Holotable Heroes,

Today we released Shaak Ti’s kit and as usual, we want to give you some insight into why we decided to bring this character to the game. If you aren’t familiar with this Togruta Jedi,
Jedi Master Shaak Ti personally oversaw the training and development of clone forces on Kamino during the Clone Wars. This wise general and member of the Jedi High Council expected much from the clones, but she was also known for valuing their lives as individuals, not just rank and file troops. In battle, Shaak Ti is a fierce Leader who significantly increases the power of Clone ... Read more

Capital Games Charity Event 2019

Comment

Originally posted by ImSoBasic

I mean, it seems more like a CG marketing exercise. We give to charity, they don't give to charity, yet they reap the PR rewards from an event branded as the "Capital Games Charity Event."

I don't normally address responses like this but I feel the need to defend my coworkers hard work to make this happen. This is entirely driven by a handful of employees who feel passionate about helping those in need. Besides the satisfaction of doing something to dramatically change a kid's life and some late nights planning, we get nothing. This isn't some line item in a spreadsheet for an exec. Its about helping God damn kids who desperately need support. If you could stream games for a day and revolutionize the health of children in your community, would you do it? Because you have that power right now. We all do. Don't donate through our page if you don't want to, give another way or through another charity.

"Where are we taking this ship?": On Future of the Fleet

Post
Hi Holotable Heroes,

I wanted to do a deeper dive into ships after all the questions we received in the Q&A so I snagged one of the designers who specializes in ships to discuss what’s changed with ships since launch and what’s in store for the future.

1. How long have ships been in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes?
  • It’s hard for me to believe, but they’ve been in the game for over two and a half years. As soon as the game launched, players immediately began asking when we’d bring ships into the game. It was, in fact, initially a feature we intended to launch with, which is why we had a lot of ships built - and in the game client - from launch. However, we decided to hold on to the initial batch and continue creating more ships and ended up releasing them shortly before our first anniversary. Epic ship battles are such a prominent and exciting part of the Star Wars universe - I mean, who will ever forget seeing their first Star Destroyer crossing the sc...

Server Update 5/30/2019

Comment
Server Update is complete

G13 is not going to be bad. Here's why.

Comment
Just to clarify, Gear 13 is not coming with the new Geonosian Territory Battle.
CG_Cyanides only is referring to the last piece to finish off G12. This will get you to G13 with a shiny new portrait (just like completing G11 gets you to G12) but there are no G13 gear pieces being released with the Geonosis Territory TB.

  • [Grand Arena] - Fixed ships being auto deployed in the wrong order in round 2 and/or 3 if ships were defeated in round 1 of the Grand Arena (This change will not impact the currently running Grand Arena)

Why did Crumb add so many reserved comments?


I'm adding each person's responses to each section. Will review this thread for more questions shortly

Developer Q&A - May 29th

Comment
CG_Cyanides' Responses:

[list]
[*] Q: Will you consider revisiting rewards from Challenges? Adding newer high demand gear, or upping the reward output? -Jorm Gandr
[*] A: CG_Cyanides: We have been looking into Challenge rewards as the game gets older (I'm looking at you Mace), but we don't have plans of changing the rewards anytime soon. As we are always adding new events and new feature modes, those get the priorities for updated rewards. Ideally, we'd release a new tier to the challenges with additional/new rewards in the future.
