SWGOH news: patch

MeatheadMilitia confirmed the upcoming game update is on track to deploy on time. Contents will be disclosed after the patch goes out, not before. A push notification players received was tied to this same update.

The team is aware of several issues concerning the character Dedra. Specifically, quests for winning battles with Dedra, the counting of "Undermine" debuffs, and Dedra's Unique ability not applying to ISB allies in Coliseum are under investigation.

A hotfix was released to address Coliseum difficulty adjustments, primarily impacting Levels 3-6. The development team will monitor these changes and appreciates player feedback.

Capital Games investigated a visual glitch affecting the Data Privacy toggle. They confirmed it was a display-only issue on certain devices, making it appear the setting was 'ON' when it was not. Actual privacy settings on the server remained unchanged and reflected the player's choice.

Today's update announces new farm locations for Yoda and Chewie shards in Light Side Battles 9-C, replacing Baze Malbus, who moves to Light Side Battles 5-F. It also fixes a Storm Trooper Luke Omicron cost, adjusts Vane's offense gain, and makes Smuggler's Run III unshared.

The Smuggler's Run 3 event is incorrectly marked as Shared. Instead of a hotfix, the team will run the event an additional time and apply a fix in the next update.

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.

Era of Andor introduces seven new units across Marquees from Feb 10 to May 4, including Kleya Marki, Vel Sartha, Cinta Kaz, Dedra Meero, Major Partagaz, Cassian Andor (Undercover), and the KX Enforcer Droid. Full kits cover a new Rebel Fighter squad under Cassian and an expanded ISB squad under Major Partagaz with Undermine and Rank mechanics.

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.
