The development team is monitoring player interaction and data related to the new Galactic Chase system. MeatheadMilitia encourages ongoing feedback from both free and paid track users, confirming that this input will be documented and considered for potential future adjustments to the system.
The Galactic Chase store refreshes weekly. Players should be aware that the in-game currency used for purchases has a cap, though the exact amount was not specified by the creator, who advised players to spend their currency to avoid hitting the limit.
The Galactic Chase Pass structure, particularly regarding its rewards, should be understood like the Conquest reward track. This comparison suggests that the paid track's rewards are cumulative with the free track, rather than separate, offering a combined total.
The Galactic Chase Pass+ is designed for players who want to quickly access rewards without extensive gameplay. It instantly grants 20 levels worth of rewards, catering to those who prefer immediate gratification and convenience over engaging deeply with Galactic Chase events.
The creator advises that purchasing the Galactic Chase Pass is more efficient than buying two or three Marquee character boosters if a player typically buys boosters. The Pass provides more overall resources in addition to the character shards, making it a better value for the same or similar investment.
Puzzles are sometimes developed months in advance with an older pipeline, leading to situations where in-game information is released prior to the puzzle itself. The developer released a recent puzzle for those who enjoy them, despite some information already being available, and asked players to avoid negativity.
Information regarding the new Episode and Shipment stores is expected to be posted today, assuming all goes well. This update will likely detail what character shards and other items will be available in these new in-game stores.
The content creator confirmed that the Marchion Ro kit reveal is scheduled for today. This information was shared in response to a direct question from a community member, indicating that players should anticipate the new character's abilities to be detailed soon.
The content creator confirmed that the player community's desire for Jar Jar Binks to be added to Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes has been communicated to the development team. This suggests player feedback regarding this specific character has reached the relevant internal channels.
The method for releasing character kits under the new episode system is still being worked on. The content creator indicated that it is a process under development, suggesting that the release strategy for kits may change from the current approach.
Matchmaking in GAC is a complex issue that the development team has discussed, acknowledging it's not as simple as matching player GP. The developer also indicated a personal preference for a game mode where they wouldn't already own a large percentage of characters at a high Rarity.
A developer is actively advocating to their team about the challenges of the zeta economy, especially for mid-game players. A further GAC (Galactic Arena Championship) squish is anticipated in December to address player distribution issues.
A developer hinted at an upcoming "Era" related to the Bad Batch. Additionally, when asked about more Legends content, specifically Emperor Vitiate, the developer inquired for specific suggestions, indicating openness to such ideas.
A suggestion for a Raid Sim feature, where players who have achieved their maximum score in a tier could simulate future raids, was discussed. The developer acknowledged this idea has been proposed before and noted that it could potentially increase spending by reducing player frustration and time investment.
The developer expressed hope for the game's continued longevity, noting that its nine-year run is exceptional in the industry. Decision-making for new features is based on time, resources, availability, technical feasibility, and whether an idea is a 'like to have' or 'want to have'.
The development team is willing to implement significant changes and take risks on new features for Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. They acknowledge that not all changes will succeed but emphasize their commitment to improving the game and community experience.
A developer clarified that they do not receive new content, such as Conquest characters, automatically on their account. They explicitly stated, "No, there is reason I don't have any of the Conquest characters," indicating they must grind for them like other players.
The developer expressed a personal preference for Legendary Shipment Bundles (LSBs) to be priced below $50, ideally around $20 plus or minus $5. They believe higher price tags should only be used when truly warranted by the bundle's content.
A developer confirmed that a game update is expected to go live on Monday, and explicitly stated there will be no update today. This aligns with episode scheduling, suggesting a connection between in-game events and update releases.
Asked directly about a permanent Light Side Bundle tab in the store, MeatheadMilitia said the idea has been discussed in passing but is not something the team is really thinking about, and pricing decisions like Revan-bundle pricing sit above his pay grade.
