MeatheadMilitia confirmed a hotfix to bring Error 9.0 players back into the game was deploying. He noted the error did not hit everyone and only a small subset of the player base experienced it.

A player asked why extra-era characters in marquee events are now lower level. MeatheadMilitia asked for full details over DM so he could pass the report along while stepping away.

A community concern about an account prompted MeatheadMilitia to confirm the account is being investigated and that data is being collected. He noted that they may need to send a message about it.

Players flagged that a daily activity is incorrect: it requires Mod Battles rather than Mod Challenges, and the count is 10 not 5. MeatheadMilitia took notes and thanked the player who provided the correction.

A player asked MeatheadMilitia to poke the team about a rumored Cobb Vanth kit reveal. MeatheadMilitia replied with the request acknowledged in the conversation.

Players asked about Knightfall and MeatheadMilitia checked the JIRA ticket, finding it ran last month. Players replied it ran but was bugged. He said the team thought the bug was fixed, which was the reason they ran it again, and he is poking the team further.

A player asked why recent marquee characters have not been added to LSTs even though the usual cadence suggests new Bad Batch should already be in them. MeatheadMilitia said he would pass the question along to the team.

A player asked if there is any ETA for the Signal Data raid store fix and what the correct reward amounts are supposed to be. MeatheadMilitia said he can poke folks but did not provide a timeline or the correct values.

MeatheadMilitia closed out the day by linking the official Cobb Vanth kit reveal on the EA forums SWGOH Game Info Hub. The link points to the standard kit reveal blog format used for new character announcements.

MeatheadMilitia shared the official EA forums link to the Cobb Vanth kit reveal. The post on the SWGOH game info hub contains the full ability and stat breakdown for the upcoming character.

Asked whether he created the Cobb Vanth kit because the reveal post uses first-person language, MeatheadMilitia replied that the "I" in the reveal is the in-house designer speaking, not him. He confirms he was not the kit designer.

MeatheadMilitia confirmed a hotfix is being deployed today to correct discrepancies the team was made aware of on the Episode pass. No further detail was given on which discrepancies are covered or the exact deployment time.

A player asked whether players who invested heavily in Satele Shan for her synergy with Rey would get any compensation if she gets nerfed. MeatheadMilitia said the team is investigating right now, which implies a Satele nerf is on the table and refunds are being weighed.

A player flagged that the tier 1 requirement for the Cassian event was originally Kleya but is now showing as Dedra. MeatheadMilitia asked for the details via DM, suggesting this is a real change being investigated rather than a known intentional swap.

MeatheadMilitia said traditional forum kit reveal posts for Cobb Vanth and Satele Shan are on hold pending art approval. He may consider posting dev insights and FAQs separately if art approval keeps dragging, but no commitment was made.

MeatheadMilitia clarified that a 5000 reward players received was compensation for the Coliseum stalemate issue many players ran into before a fix was deployed. It is not a new event drop or a general giveaway, just a make-good for the prior bug.

MeatheadMilitia confirmed the upcoming game update is on track to deploy on time. Contents will be disclosed after the patch goes out, not before. A push notification players received was tied to this same update.

Asked whether 100-crystal energy refreshes are worth it for ticket farming, Meathead gave a conditional yes. Long-term you want a min/max approach, but if a refresh meaningfully shortens a near-finished farm so you can move on, the crystal cost can be justified.

Meathead confirmed what replaces the New Marquee shard rewards on the Episode 2 Pass. The pass will instead grant 20 shards each of Night Trooper, Death Trooper (Peridea), and Captain Enoch. Some Zinbiddle Cards and Impulse Detectors were rearranged to fit, but their totals are unchanged.

Responding to praise on a forum announcement, Meathead said improvements to Eras are an ongoing team effort, not a solo push. He credited the civility of community-to-CG conversations for making it easier to drive these conversations internally and signaled more iteration to come.
