SWGOH news: patch

Today's SWGOH update makes IG-90 shards farmable from Cantina Battles 8-A. The update also addresses various character bugs, including issues with Stormtrooper Luke, IG-90, Krennic, Crosshair, Paploo, Satele, Maul (Hate-Fueled), Kleya, Corrupted Translation, Luthen, and Grand Master. Several description updates and Conquest-related fixes are also included.

A hotfix was released to address an issue affecting Vel's Era Challenge. This update focused on resolving a specific in-game problem.

Today's update focuses on backend data improvements, adjustments and fixes for the new player experience, and a resolution for the previously identified IPD issue. This update primarily addresses underlying technical aspects of the game.

Capital Games has identified and is testing a fix for the Imperial Probe Droid (IPD) issue. The fix will be scheduled for a future release. The team is also exploring a make-good for affected guilds, with no further details available yet.

Developer updates confirm the arrival of R9 in two weeks, a fix for 3v3 GAC Omicron issues in mid-March with reimbursements, a planned redo of the Knightfall event, and compensation for affected Coaxium Heist players.

Six new units are now available in Chromium Packs and Shipments, including Stormtrooper Luke and Darth Vader (Duel's End). Stormtrooper Luke is also farmable on Dark Side Battles 9-A, and Wrecker (Mercenary) has accelerated shard drops. Several bug fixes for abilities, raid mechanics, and Datacron effects were implemented.

The developer addressed several issues including an incorrect Andor image on the webstore for the Episode Pass, unfixed Zerek Ability Modules, a block in Kleya's Marquee event, missing Signal Data from the Anniversary Era, a Coliseum leaderboard error, incorrect 3v3 Omicrons cost, recent era units not usable in Journey Guide events, and missing art for Vel's shards.

A hotfix will correct the Episode Track Level 50 Bonus Rewards for Era Level Currency back to 38,000, with affected players receiving an inbox grant. Missing Zerek Ability Modules from Barriss’s Marquee Tier 5 will be granted to eligible players. Additional details for Anniversary Era Battle Newsletter rewards were also provided, clarifying characters for Light Liberation.

This update adds News Hunter (Mercenary) to Accelerated Characters. It also fixes multiple bugs related to Lightspeed Tokens, GAC, Galactic Legend Hondo, Jedi Knight Revan, 4-LOM, Inquisitor Barriss, datacrons, Great Mothers, Temple Guard, Luthen, and various Protection Up effects. Additionally, Imperial Probe Droid and Director Krennic received significant kit adjustments.

Today's update includes the addition of Batcher to Accelerated Characters and compensation for Conquest issues. Bug fixes address Marrok's mod recommendations, Yoda and Chewie's foresight grant, Jedi Master Mace Windu's buff immunity, Asajj Ventress's naming consistency, Conquest environment loading, Maul (Hate-Fueled)'s size display, and Asajj Ventress (Dark Disciple)'s Retribution duration.

Capital Games is aware of an infinite loop occurring between Great Mothers, Nightsisters, and the "Weather the Storm" Data Disk. This issue is scheduled to be fixed in a future update.

A Conquest issue causing a missing asset loop is being investigated. The problem stems from a missing background asset and does not occur consistently. A fix is expected in this week's update, and compensation will be discussed after the resolution.

A fix is being developed to address a turn meter loop involving the Rex FDC unit. This update will be implemented in a future game update.

This update makes Zuckuss, 4-LOM, and Rebel B-wing farmable. It also accelerates Maul (Fuel-Hatred) and Omega (Fugitive) and announces an Additive Drops Event. Several bugs were corrected, and Bastila Shan and Mission Vao received kit updates.

A hotfix for the Pillars of War datacron issue has been rolled out. The rollback of affected Datacrons is complete, and the make good has been distributed to player inboxes. Players should restart their client if they do not see the make good.

An issue with overpowered Attacker-affix Datacrons will be addressed in an upcoming hotfix. Player Datacron inventories will be reverted, and players will receive new Datacrons, upgrade materials, and reduced Data-cache costs. Reroll material costs will be lowered, and affected players are advised to avoid Datacron investments until the rollback is complete.

An update has been released, granting 5,000 Era Currency to affected accounts and updating the Episode Pass description. It fixed an issue with bonus damage from Datacron Set 25 and reset affected Datacrons to level 5, refunding upgrade currencies. Reroll materials were not refunded and this is under investigation.

A hotfix was released to update Darth Vader's Datacron ability. The change addresses an issue with Darth Vader and the Bad Batch squad, allowing Darth Vader to be defeated if all allies are defeated or Captured.

A critical issue affecting Omega and Darth Vader with a Cron modifier is currently under investigation by the development team. This interaction is causing an unbeatable state for players. A hotfix is being prepared for release either by the end of today or early tomorrow.

This update addresses several character availability changes, bug fixes, and text corrections. Key changes include making News Chewie and Yoda available on December 16th, moving Rogue One blueprints to Light Side Battles 7-B, and correcting ability descriptions for Ezra Exile and Galactic Legend Ahsoka Tano. A rerun of Knightfall is also scheduled.
