SWGOH news from Capital Games

Capital Games investigated a visual glitch affecting the Data Privacy toggle. They confirmed it was a display-only issue on certain devices, making it appear the setting was 'ON' when it was not. Actual privacy settings on the server remained unchanged and reflected the player's choice.

Developer updates confirm the arrival of R9 in two weeks, a fix for 3v3 GAC Omicron issues in mid-March with reimbursements, a planned redo of the Knightfall event, and compensation for affected Coaxium Heist players.

Six new units are now available in Chromium Packs and Shipments, including Stormtrooper Luke and Darth Vader (Duel's End). Stormtrooper Luke is also farmable on Dark Side Battles 9-A, and Wrecker (Mercenary) has accelerated shard drops. Several bug fixes for abilities, raid mechanics, and Datacron effects were implemented.

The developer addressed several issues including an incorrect Andor image on the webstore for the Episode Pass, unfixed Zerek Ability Modules, a block in Kleya's Marquee event, missing Signal Data from the Anniversary Era, a Coliseum leaderboard error, incorrect 3v3 Omicrons cost, recent era units not usable in Journey Guide events, and missing art for Vel's shards.

Additionally, Imperial Probe Droid and Director Krennic received significant kit adjustments.

The Era of Andor introduces Quality of Life changes, including reduced early Era Level requirements for Marquees and temporary removal of high-tier material bundles. Coliseum summoned units will scale based on the highest Era unit and vary by leader. Era Challenges will feature a 4-Feat system, and a roadmap for Cassian Andor (Undercover) progression is provided.

A new KX Security Droid unit is introduced, designed as a Tank for the ISB faction. Its kit focuses on gaining stacks of Overcharge to increase survivability and deal damage, with abilities that interact with ISB allies, particularly Imperial Probe Droid, and gain power through a Rank system. It is meant to be a stout Tank that can survive against attacking enemies, deal damage, and enable Imperial Probe Droid to use its Self-Destruct more often.
