Asked for hints about the next Conquest units, CG Meathead said he hears next week is going to be a cool week. He gave no names or specifics, just a general tease that the upcoming Conquest content is worth watching.

To celebrate the launch of Star Wars: Zero Company, a forum giveaway asked players to comment with their favorite Star Wars item and fill out a form. Five winners were selected across PC, XBOX, PS5 USA/LATAM, and PS5 EU platforms, who are asked to PM for their codes.
CG Meathead said a hotfix was going out and confirmed, when asked what it was for, that it addresses the Silvo infinite revive loop. He later noted the hotfix had gone live and asked whether anyone was having trouble logging in.
Asked directly whether GL Mando is going to be a Galactic Legend, CG Meathead answered yes. He declined to say whether the character will be an attacker, saying he knew the answer but could not share it, and gave no timing for the kit reveal.
Asked whether the Episode pass is worth buying or whether to wait for an LSB, CG Meathead said the Episode pass carries the best value for the money in his opinion. He added that LSBs are great but should not be expected, framing his view from a roughly 20 dollar per month spending perspective.
The team is aware of an infinite revival loop with Silvo, which occurs when a mechanic removes his Protection completely so he can no longer recover it, such as a datacron affix. A hotfix is planned for the next morning. Meanwhile, revival prevention stops the revives.
Asked about reducing time in game given territory battles running alongside other long events, CG Meathead said time in-game is always being considered. He said that with the number of events and modes, scheduling is extremely tight and will never be perfect, but staff are always looking for ways to adjust the current schedule.
Multiple players reported being unable to buy the pass through the in-game store or webstore. CG Meathead said he is aware of the issue and suggested affected players try a different browser as a workaround.
A community team post opens a discussion about the order in which to unlock Galactic Legends, prompted by a conversation about a player who had just started SWGOH. It asks players to share their optimal GL unlock order and explain their reasoning.
CG Meathead recommends GL Leia as the first Galactic Legend to farm, citing character requirement versus power output. He rates Jabba a solid alternative but says Leia edges him out, and holds to Leia first even when others argue for Jabba or JML.
On the Coliseum issue where your team is not remembered reliably and must be re-selected after era level increases, CG Meathead said he is working to get it pulled up but that it requires a client fix, which is harder to deploy. Players may have to deal with it for a while.
Asked whether the new Empire level 6 datacron is working as intended or a bug, CG Meathead said he believes it has been marked as a bug and that he would go check.
CG Meathead confirmed several requested quality of life items are on his internal list, including officer controls to remove teams from Territory War and hard-block Territory Battle orders, plus the ability to apply multiple filters at once.
Zeb Orrelios (New Republic Pilot) shards are now farmable from Cantina Battles 9-F, and Vane joins the Accelerated List. Next Galactic Legend Mando relic requirements are listed. Fixes cover Leia (Jedi Training), Asajj Ventress, Marrok, Territory Battle Pirates, Hondo, and Daughter of Mortis.
A dev post clarifies unexpected Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka changes. His ability to Steal locked buffs, released earlier than intended, will be reverted in an upcoming release because not every locked buff is a valid target and players cannot access that information. Related fixes to several other characters remain in place.
CG Meathead said a fix was rolling out and should be resolved within 45 to 60 minutes. He confirmed it was a server-side change with no client update required, and warned that advancing to the next tier during the rollout could land on a server not yet patched.
The team acknowledged an issue where Yoda (Dark Side Vision)'s Marquee was soft locking players' games and worked on a hotfix. Updates followed through the day, and a server fix reached 100% deployment.
CG Meathead said a hotfix is likely to land tomorrow to address the Solo Carson datacron issue.
CG Meathead said the second round of Galactic Legend requirements will not be posted this week. Asked separately about a kit reveal, he said there will not be one this week either.
