SWGOH news from Discord

The content creator anticipates the kit reveal for a new character on Monday. This information was shared in response to a direct question about when kit details would become available to the community.

MeatheadMilitia recommends prioritizing 50-crystal energy refreshes when hard farming nodes. He also advises new players, especially free-to-play, to exercise patience, manage expectations, focus on small progression wins, and seek advice from experienced players and F2P guides.

MeatheadMilitia acknowledged a player's report that the General Leia Organa (GL Ahsoka Tano) Hub is not being updated promptly. The player noted that the second set of information, known for several days, has not yet been added to the hub.

MeatheadMilitia provided the precise end time for a community event, stating it concludes at 5 PM PT. He also cautioned that a slight data delay might occur, so the team will monitor the event's status past the official end time.

MeatheadMilitia indicated that new kit reveal infographics are in the works and that he is personally contributing to them. He also noted that he has no current information on when the gifting store will be available on the PC client but is relaying the question to the relevant team.

MeatheadMilitia confirmed that players do not need to individually contribute a specific number of troopers to receive rewards from the community event. The rewards are granted to all participants once the collective community goal is met, regardless of personal farming effort.

A user credited the content creator with predicting the inclusion of Ki-Adi-Mundi (KAM) in Galactic Legends-level Light Side Bundles (LSBs). The creator acknowledged this, stating he 'battering rammed that into existence' with the help of others, indicating a concerted effort rather than a mere prediction.

A player asked the creator to not nerf the Rolo team, stating its infinite Turn Meter loop with Sana makes it powerful. The creator asked for clarification on the player's understanding of the team and if they believe an infinite loop should remain unaddressed.

The creator initially considered giving away KAM LSBs but ultimately decided to distribute 2K crystals to participants instead. This change was made to benefit a wider audience with the giveaway.

Automated tracking for in-game milestones is a low priority, considered a significant development and resource ask. It will likely only be implemented if milestones return in the future, and for now, players should expect manual tracking.

The creator admitted that the mods on his account are over two years old and have not received any significant updates since 2021. This lack of attention to modding is attributed to a focus on gearing up characters instead.

MeatheadMilitia reported difficulty completing the Rey Proving Grounds event due to the absence of Ben Solo and Zorii Bliss. He noted that while Rey's Whirlwind ability is effective, the final 1v1 phase often results in failure, suggesting these specific characters are crucial for a smoother completion of the event.

When asked about current farming priorities, MeatheadMilitia recommended Jabba the Hutt. Jabba is a Galactic Legend known for his strong raid performance and utility in various game modes, making him a valuable asset for players focusing on progression.

A staff member expressed personal fatigue with farming Ki-Adi-Mundi (KAM) and hopes to complete it soon, but does not wish for KAM to enter Proving Grounds, preferring to use in-game purchases if necessary. There is no information on a rerun of Light Speed Bundles (LSBs), though community interest for their return has been communicated to the relevant teams.

A staff member periodically offers spontaneous giveaways of Surge Packs (which contain character shards) to community members. These occur during discussions or as a response to engagement, with winners selected from those who provide their ally codes. One winner received 330 character shards.

A bug preventing ability descriptions from appearing when held mid-battle is a known issue. Players experiencing this should hold the ability icon longer for the description to load. The development team is actively investigating this problem.

The current community milestone event is a one-time test. Whether similar events will be run again depends on the results of this test, specifically regarding data tracking, functionality, and player reception. Accomplishment of the goal itself does not determine if future events will occur.

The community milestone event focuses on "Troopers" and "Trooper adjacent" characters. Progress is tracked manually by the development team, with updates posted in the forums, not in-game. Initial updates are scheduled for Friday (day of release) afternoon/evening PT, followed by regular updates starting Monday.

The regular weekly puzzle is temporarily suspended, replaced by a new community milestone event. This event is a "test" or "proof of concept" to gauge player interest and track data. Players are encouraged to participate by playing normally rather than stressing or going out of their way.

MeatheadMilitia announced the launch of the Enoch character and reminded players to complete his associated Marquee event. Players can find the event in the top left 'Events' section of the game interface.
