SWGOH news: patch

The investigation into a potential issue with the B2 Super Battle Droid's lead ability in the raid has concluded. Content creator MeatheadMilitia linked to an official forum post, confirming that Capital Games has decided against making any changes, determining that the ability is working as intended.

Capital Games investigated B2 Super Battle Droid's performance as a leader in Battle for Naboo. They found the current data acceptable and will not make any adjustments at this time, though monitoring will continue.

This update introduces Morgan Elsbeth's kit and makes Master Qui-Gon's shards farmable. It also includes several bug fixes, affecting raid mechanics, character abilities, and text descriptions across various units and game modes.

An in-game update notification for SWGOH has been deployed, addressing concerns from European players about puzzle timings. The development team is actively investigating reports of connection issues, particularly players stuck on the "initializing systems" screen, affecting both PC and iOS mobile users. Users are advised to submit tickets for EA account connection problems.

MeatheadMilitia mentioned that a game restart should be available. He did not specify the reason for the restart or what changes it might bring.

The creator confirmed they are in constant communication with the art team regarding the new character portraits and thanked players for their feedback, which is being actively considered.

MeatheadMilitia has relayed player concerns to the development team regarding Jedi Knight Cal Kestis (JKCK) not being made a permanent Journey Guide event with the recent update. Players expected this change, and the creator is investigating the discrepancy.

MeatheadMilitia clarified that if a guild starts a raid before a game update goes live, the raid's progress and state are snapshotted at that point. This means any changes introduced in the update would not affect an already active raid.

The new 'Duel of the Fates' event was not designed to reset daily, and the development team is implementing a hotfix to correct this unintended behavior. Players should not expect daily rewards from this event.

A hotfix is expected soon to address a PC client-only issue. The entire game will experience downtime during this update, as is typical for hotfixes, but the restart should be quick and not involve extended no-access periods for players.

Master Qui-Gon Jinn is now available in the weekly shipments. The content creator confirmed this, explaining that the delay was due to the weekly shipment update happening before the character's release on Thursday.

A recent update caused veteran SWGOH players to receive "new player" quests, granting significant shard shop currency. This occurred because level requirements were removed from older quests. Players who purchased the Hyperdrive Bundle did not receive these quests due to an intentional block.

In response to a query about the frequency of "RA" (likely referring to Raid Analytics or a similar game feature), the content creator hinted that an update or change is "soon," though they emphasized that this "soon" should be taken with a significant grain of salt, possibly extending into late 2024.

A recent hotfix in SWGOH primarily addressed a bug that prevented Android users from purchasing packs. This was the main focus of the update, with no other significant changes mentioned.

The issue preventing a 'no pause' option in the PC client has been identified and fixed by developers. Although the fix was implemented before launch, it was inadvertently omitted from the initial build. A future update will incorporate this correction.
