SWGOH news from Discord

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.

A player flagged that the Aphra and Jabba pack prices appeared to have been swapped in the store. Meathead asked if the player wanted him to have them changed, then immediately answered DENIED, indicating he would leave the swap in place if it benefited players.

A player asked how to donate to Extra Life. Meathead said information would be released soon, possibly not the next day, but he was aiming to get something posted by Monday. This suggests a formal Extra Life campaign announcement is incoming early next week.

Meathead clarified the layered make-good compensation by noting that the awarded points would push a good portion of players up five levels on the Conquest Free Track. He framed this as a solid outcome despite confusion about make-goods stacking on make-goods.

Meathead told players they would hit the 600M mark by the end of the current Conquest. When asked if 600M was the final goal, he confirmed it was the goal for this round, suggesting the community event was scoped to that target.

A player asked about Datacron QoL changes such as the ability to name them. Meathead said he had built quite a list of feedback since Datacrons were introduced. He did not commit to a date but signaled the request was already captured for the team.

Meathead announced he was heading home for the holidays and using built-up PTO. Before leaving, he said he was working on three documents to share with the community, possibly more, which would explain his upcoming reduced presence in the channel.

Meathead confirmed an update was coming on Thursday December 5. A player asked directly whether an update was on the way, and the answer was simply yes. No further details were given in the channel about the update's contents at that point.
