SWGOH news: raid

The upcoming Episode 2 update will increase the Episode Currency cap to 100,000 and reduce the Episode Point requirements for the first four milestones. Recurring Episode Quests will be rescheduled, and new shipments will add more Omicron materials and Micro Attenuators. Galactic Challenges will revert to five feats, including the "Complete the battle" feat, with adjusted Episode Point rewards. Episode 2 character shards will focus on Hunter, Wrecker, Tech, Echo, Omega, Ahsoka Tano (Fulcrum), Saw Gerrera, Nightsister Zombie, and Ezra Bridger.

Meathead clarified the layered make-good compensation by noting that the awarded points would push a good portion of players up five levels on the Conquest Free Track. He framed this as a solid outcome despite confusion about make-goods stacking on make-goods.

Meathead told players they would hit the 600M mark by the end of the current Conquest. When asked if 600M was the final goal, he confirmed it was the goal for this round, suggesting the community event was scoped to that target.

Meathead confirmed an update was coming on Thursday December 5. A player asked directly whether an update was on the way, and the answer was simply yes. No further details were given in the channel about the update's contents at that point.

MeatheadMilitia announced that he just updated the Conquest Milestone, apologizing for the delay. No further detail was given about what changed, but it indicates fresh Conquest milestone reference content is now live.

MeatheadMilitia ran the math on the Conquest community goal and projects players will land near 700M by event end on the current daily average of 51M. Hitting the 750M Bonus End Goal would require roughly 58M per day. The main last tier should still be reached comfortably.

A player reported encountering a bug after receiving the test Dark Side Rey at the start of Conquest. MeatheadMilitia said he had already passed the video along and asked the player to DM more information and their ally code so the team could investigate.

Players reported being unable to enter the game during this window. MeatheadMilitia acknowledged he was talking with the team and confirmed there was some lag, without providing a fix ETA in this channel.

A new Community Milestone event is announced, tracking Conquest Energy spent by all players. The community's total energy spent will be updated daily, with bonus prizes awarded based on the final collective total. The Conquest Pass is now available for purchase in the Webstore.

MeatheadMilitia said he has it on good authority that the upcoming Conquest Pass will be available on the Webstore again, and is trying to get formal confirmation. He also acknowledged the unresolved bug where Webstore purchases have not been awarding coaxium.

CG_Meathead actively collected player feedback on the new Episode system. Players want daily quests visible at the start of the week, paid feats hidden until purchased, and a Crystal-purchase option for the Episode pass. Meathead said he is documenting these for the team.

Rey (Dark Side Vision) is a new Dark Side Attacker, First Order, and Sith unit for Conquest, designed as a lifter for Supreme Leader Kylo Ren. Her kit focuses on multiple attacks, inflicting Fear, preventing First Order allies from being defeated in Grand Arenas, and includes mechanics related to Retaliate, Shock, and Turn Meter manipulation.

The Galactic Chase Pass structure, particularly regarding its rewards, should be understood like the Conquest reward track. This comparison suggests that the paid track's rewards are cumulative with the free track, rather than separate, offering a combined total.

A suggestion for a Raid Sim feature, where players who have achieved their maximum score in a tier could simulate future raids, was discussed. The developer acknowledged this idea has been proposed before and noted that it could potentially increase spending by reducing player frustration and time investment.

A developer clarified that they do not receive new content, such as Conquest characters, automatically on their account. They explicitly stated, "No, there is reason I don't have any of the Conquest characters," indicating they must grind for them like other players.

MeatheadMilitia gave soft positive signals on two long-standing QoL asks: simmable Fleet Mastery events and a Bronzium data card sim button. Neither is a commitment, but both were acknowledged as live internal topics.

MeatheadMilitia confirmed a backend server update on 2024-11-13 that converts daily energy spend into conquest tickets. He reported personally hitting the 600 ticket threshold without effort, and said the related coaxium webstore changes will go live later that day.

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is introducing a new 12-week Era and 4-week Episode structure for character releases and events. Daily Activities become Daily Quests, and a new Episode Track with Free and Paid tiers offers rewards. Several events are becoming simmable.

A player reported a change in Gungan behavior during a raid, specifically with the shield generator appearing earlier. The content creator is unaware of any Gungan changes and requested video evidence to investigate.

The creator clarified a previous comment about an upcoming Quality-of-Life (QoL) update, stating it pertains to a single, minor change. While small in scope, this specific update is personally very important to him, leading him to rate its impact highly for himself. He emphasized that other players are misinterpreting its broader significance.
