SWGOH news: patch

Today's update for Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes was a backend update. It prepares for a near future game update.

A backend update went live today, acting as a "foundation to a skyscraper" for a larger, undisclosed release. While no new content is visible yet, some elements intended for a future update may have accidentally been included in this backend rollout, providing content for YouTubers. Approvals for official announcements are still pending.

MeatheadMilitia got the dev team to raise the Micro Attenuator stockpile cap from 300 to 1,000 in a future update. The current 300 cap only covers about one mod set on a single character, which made testing new marquee mod loadouts after an era painful.

Inquisitor Barriss shards are now available from Dark Side Battles 4-C (Hard). Fragmented and Incomplete Signal Data have been added to Guild Events. Several bug fixes and adjustments were also implemented for various characters and game modes.

A player asked for an update on the signal data fix in the Guild Store. Meathead said he would check which update that issue got flagged for. The reply was tagged as patch-related, suggesting the fix is tied to a scheduled game update rather than a hotfix.

A developer post announces a rework for Satele Shan, addressing Grand Arena interactions with GL Rey. The update modifies her Special 02 and Unique 1 abilities, specifically enhancing her performance when all allies are Old Republic and adding Grand Arena-specific benefits. Players' Satele Shan will be reset for reinvestment.

The development team acknowledged that players received Mk II upgrade materials instead of the intended Mk IV materials. The correct Mk IV materials will be distributed to players during next week's update.

Capital Games community manager MeatheadMilitia announced in Discord that a hotfix would be going out soonish on April 9. No specific contents were shared at the time of the message, but the patch tag indicates it is a server-side or client patch rather than a full content release.

A hotfix will address an issue in Conquest where the Relic Level Delta was enabled without its intended Data Disk, which will now be added as a feat reward. It also corrects discrepancies in the Cassian Journey Guide, providing materials to level Dedra from 40 to 45 due to incorrect Tier 1 requirements.

A player asked when information on the next era can be expected. MeatheadMilitia replied with a one-word answer: 'soon.'

A hotfix was deployed to address Error 9.0 connectivity issues. The team is investigating and asks affected players to provide their Ally Code for account investigation.

MeatheadMilitia confirmed a hotfix to bring Error 9.0 players back into the game was deploying. He noted the error did not hit everyone and only a small subset of the player base experienced it.

A player asked if there is any ETA for the Signal Data raid store fix and what the correct reward amounts are supposed to be. MeatheadMilitia said he can poke folks but did not provide a timeline or the correct values.

MeatheadMilitia confirmed a hotfix is being deployed today to correct discrepancies the team was made aware of on the Episode pass. No further detail was given on which discrepancies are covered or the exact deployment time.

A player flagged that the tier 1 requirement for the Cassian event was originally Kleya but is now showing as Dedra. MeatheadMilitia asked for the details via DM, suggesting this is a real change being investigated rather than a known intentional swap.

A developer announced an investigation into reported issues with the Power for Hire datacron set. Updates will be provided on the same forum post as more information becomes available.

Asajj Ventress (Dark Disciple) is now farmable from Dark Side Battles 9-B. CC-1119 "Appo" has been added to the Accelerated Characters list. Several bug fixes address character abilities, Datacron descriptions, and event mechanics, with some material refunds to follow.

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.
