SWGOH Overhauls Scheduling, Quests, and Rewards

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is introducing significant updates to its systems, including a new 12-week Era structure, broken down into three 4-week Episodes. Each Episode will begin with a Marquee character release, and most will feature a second Marquee midway through.

Key changes include:

• Improved Scheduling: A defined 12-week release schedule for content. Eras are 12 weeks, divided into 4-week Episodes. Each year will feature 12 Episodes within 4 Eras, plus a 13th Holiday Episode.
• Daily Quests: Daily Activities are renamed Daily Quests, with 7 required daily completions for rewards. These quests provide Episode Points (EP) for the new Episode Track.
• Energy for Guild Tickets: Spending Energy (Energy, Cantina, Mod, Ship) now contributes to earning daily Guild Raid Tickets. This change is live now.
• Episode Track and Episode Pass: Upon reaching Level 85, players unlock the Episode Track, progressing by earning Episode Points (EP). The track has a Free tier and a Paid Episode Pass tier ($20 USD), offering additional rewards like character shards, relic materials, and ability materials. The Free track is completable for F2P players who engage consistently.
• Episode Shipments: A new store where players can spend Episode Currency earned from the Episode Track on various items, including Omicron Ability Materials, Mods, and character shards.
• Episode Quests: 28 daily quests per Episode, divided into 4 Chapters. Completing these quests earns EP and Chapter rewards. Some quests may require specific characters, but are designed to be completable with normal gameplay.
• Character Quests: Quests tied to newly released Marquee characters, rewarding EP for unlocking and advancing them within two weeks of release.
• Journey Quests: Renamed and simplified quests for players up to Level 85, with single tasks and reduced grind.
• Prestigious Achievements: Prestigious Quests have been converted into Prestigious Achievements, focusing on investment goals.
• Simmable Events: Several events will become simmable in a future update, including Galactic Legend Ultimate Journey Mythic Events, Smuggler’s Run I and II, Galactic Bounties I and II, Endor Escalation, Ghosts of Dathomir, Defense of Dathomir, and Contraband Cargo.
• New Marquee UI: A redesigned Marquee UI for easier navigation and viewing of rewards.
• Raid Ticket Indicator: An indicator on the navigation tab showing earned Raid Tickets.
• Galactic Challenges: Rewards from Galactic Challenge boxes are moved to the Episode Track and Episode Shipments. Feats now grant immediate EP. Some feats will require the Episode Pass or the newest Marquee character. Galactic Challenges now require Level 85 to participate.
• Schedule Changes: Marquee events move from Thursdays to Tuesdays. Galactic Challenges will now start on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
• Kessel Run Loyalty Program: A new loyalty program for the Webstore, where players earn Coaxium by completing objectives to advance through Parsec milestones for in-game rewards. Purchases in the Webstore can earn more Coaxium.
