SWGOH news from Discord

A community member proposed a prediction contest using a Google Form, where the player whose guess landed closest would win crystals or similar rewards. Meathead reacted positively, saying he kinda dug the idea, suggesting it could become a real community event.

Meathead encouraged the community to create a puzzle to celebrate the upcoming GL Ahsoka kit reveal. He confirmed handing out 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place to designers, with Ahsoka's designer placing second. The discussion suggested an Ahsoka kit reveal is approaching.

When asked whether more puzzle-style events were coming after the Hera puzzle, MeatheadMilitia confirmed there are not. Hera's puzzle was the final one in that format.

MeatheadMilitia asked the community on the spot which two retired Assault Battles they wanted brought back as Extra Life Milestone rewards. He took the first concrete suggestion — Nightsisters and Rebel Roundup — and confirmed he was passing it along.

A community member surfaced an Answers HQ thread about Imperial TIE Fighter being unable to gain Marked from Scythe and Executrix. MeatheadMilitia asked for the link, received it, and thanked the reporter, indicating the issue is now in CG's hands.

MeatheadMilitia confirmed a hotfix landed on December 4 to address the dispel bug reported the previous day. After the patch dropped he ran three test fights and reported the bug as fixed.

When asked whether the audio issue is being investigated, MeatheadMilitia links to an EA Answers HQ bug report thread. He also tells another player reporting that Perfect Defense is not working to submit an Answers HQ ticket so it can be tracked.

MeatheadMilitia told the channel he will be largely absent for about three weeks, including no streaming during that window unless he converts his Steam Deck into a Windows machine. Context suggests holiday travel. Useful as a heads-up for anyone expecting his usual content cadence.

MeatheadMilitia reports that during a call covering the latest update, three people on the call hit an issue at the same time. All three restarted their clients and the problem cleared. He shares this in response to other players reporting trouble after the patch.

MeatheadMilitia announced that he just updated the Conquest Milestone, apologizing for the delay. No further detail was given about what changed, but it indicates fresh Conquest milestone reference content is now live.

Players received some currency by mistake. Meathead confirmed it was not his doing but said it can be kept and spent, and confirmed he spent his own. Multiple players asked for a higher cap or shorter refresh on the related track. Meathead said the feedback has been noted.

Asked directly for his opinion on the new Light Side Bundles, Meathead gave a measured non-endorsement. He said the bundles exist for players who want them and see value in them, framing them as optional rather than recommending a purchase.

A player flagged that certain abilities have stopped playing their sound effects. Meathead said he hopes the team is aware and asked the reporter to file an Answers HQ post, noting the official forum is secondary for bug tracking. He offered to follow up once a link is sent via DM.

MeatheadMilitia ran the math on the Conquest community goal and projects players will land near 700M by event end on the current daily average of 51M. Hitting the 750M Bonus End Goal would require roughly 58M per day. The main last tier should still be reached comfortably.

A player asked where players could view how much energy the new content costs. MeatheadMilitia said he would poke the team. There was no immediate published source.

A player reported encountering a bug after receiving the test Dark Side Rey at the start of Conquest. MeatheadMilitia said he had already passed the video along and asked the player to DM more information and their ally code so the team could investigate.

Asked whether there were plans to limit how often the Shard Shop can be refreshed, given that current behavior lets players convert shard currency into effectively all of their GL currency, MeatheadMilitia said he had no information on this.

Asked why the fleet mastery change was happening during a rough player sentiment period, MeatheadMilitia said the change exists to allow players who do not yet have those ships at 330 shards to be able to do the fleet masteries daily. He acknowledged that feedback from players already at 330 had been noted.

A player raised concern that an episode feat requiring completion of 5 Galactic Challenge tiers is scheduled for December 14, which is roughly half a day after the final GC of the run will already have appeared. MeatheadMilitia said he passed the concern along to the team.

Players reported being unable to enter the game during this window. MeatheadMilitia acknowledged he was talking with the team and confirmed there was some lag, without providing a fix ETA in this channel.
