SWGOH news: digest

Regarding the alignment lock fix for L3 to L9, there is currently no new information available. The content creator was unable to provide any updates on the timeline or status of this bug fix, despite player reports of issues.

A Public Service Announcement (PSA) was issued clarifying that players can unlock their EA Account directly within the game. This information is presented as a helpful tip for users experiencing account lock issues.

MeatheadMilitia expressed strong approval for the new Marquee event structure in SWGOH. He considers it 'fantastic' and stated that while he might be biased, he views his positive assessment as 'plain facts.' This suggests a positive internal perception of recent changes to character release events.

MeatheadMilitia announced that he achieved 8 million Galactic Power (GP) in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. This milestone was reached after opening packs for Death Trooper Peridia, accumulating 67/85 shards by the end of his session.

MeatheadMilitia confirmed the team is aware of and investigating a potential fix for the early victory screen bug. He initially asked if players were still experiencing it, then clarified that a fix is currently being tested. The developer stated he is hopeful the fix will be implemented.

MeatheadMilitia is collaborating with the team to provide information about potential compensation for Discord bot (DC) bugs and issues with rerolling. Conquest begins next week, which is the last opportunity for players to farm these DC's. The dev hopes to share details soon, possibly as early as Monday.

MeatheadMilitia confirmed that an issue where sound from other apps (like Spotify) stops playing on iPhones when the SWGOH app is running is a 'known issue that's being looked into.' This indicates that the development team is aware of the problem and actively working on it.

MeatheadMilitia emphasized that understanding mods can be challenging for long-time players. He urged the community to either help confused players, direct them to resources, or remain silent, rather than making fun of them. He believes it is not an easy concept, even for veteran players.

MeatheadMilitia plans to use 21,000 crystals for the Death Trooper (DTP) Conquest, aiming for significant progress. He has not yet started the attempt due to meetings, but will share the outcome later. Early indications from a team member suggest varied luck, with one person only getting 145 shards on their first pull.

The SWGOH development team is aware of and actively investigating an issue where background music or audio playing on a player's phone may conflict with or override the game's in-game music. This acknowledgment indicates efforts to resolve the audio conflict for players.

The content creator, who works for CG, is gathering anecdotal reports about game instability experienced by players in the past 24 hours. They are looking for issues like lag, stuttering, and app crashes, particularly on Chromebooks and when managing Territory War defenses, to correlate with internal data.

A content creator endorsed the advice to only equip Gear 12 pieces if a player is fully committed to taking that character to a relic level. This strategy helps optimize resource allocation by preventing players from spending valuable gear on characters they might not fully invest in.

A player proposed a "previous raid score sim" feature to address the time commitment required for end-game players. The suggestion involves simming previous raid scores, with the option to manually run raids again to achieve and then sim new, higher scores after upgrading teams. The content creator indicated he would include this suggestion in his next report.

The content creator has suggested to the development team that the name of the official SWGOH calendar on the EA website be changed. This is due to player confusion, as many interpret the "calendar" as indicating content updates rather than just a schedule of in-game events.

The creator informed a user that their suggestion regarding Nibbles' Omicron abilities was forwarded to the designer. The user praised the idea that Nibbles only needs one Omicron ability, but it affects all his abilities, indicating a potentially well-received mechanic.

The content creator acknowledged a user's praise for the "god tier animation" of new characters and stated they would relay this positive feedback to the development team. This suggests a positive reception for recent character design efforts.

MeatheadMilitia indicated that players are still working on a puzzle and the main mission is accessible, implying a larger ongoing community puzzle. A timed 'bonus information' component of the puzzle has expired, preventing access to additional clues, but the core puzzle remains solvable.

The content creator confirmed that players can expect another mini-puzzle to be released this evening. This was a direct response to a player's question about the possibility of an upcoming puzzle.

The content creator will "poke the team in charge" about the Jedi Allies Lightspeed Bundle. This follows a player's question about the pack being re-released due to previous purchase problems experienced by many players.

The content creator indicated he has no information on how long the investigation into low-level raid issues will last. He responded to a player's query comparing it to the B2 investigation, suggesting he cannot anticipate the duration.
