Cantina 9 energy cost is now 20 in the updated screenshots, while Cantina 8 remains at 16 energy. Signal Data farming is still located on Cantina 8 specifically, which is relevant for players planning farming routines around the energy adjustments.

MeatheadMilitia will publish a Q/A Google Doc tomorrow (April 28) where players can submit questions about today's three forum documents. The doc will be posted in the EA forums, and questions about squad arena store, training mode iteration, and tag updates are already queued.

Three era units were detailed in today's forum drop. MeatheadMilitia teased that the rest of the era units will be revealed further down the road and noted he has already given hints about the remaining three secret era characters.

Asked directly whether new Coliseum bosses are coming, MeatheadMilitia gave a one-word confirmation: yes. No timing or details were provided beyond the confirmation that additional bosses are planned for the Coliseum game mode.

MeatheadMilitia confirmed in a reply that the Tier 4 Legendary Shard Token price is being reduced as part of the changes detailed in his three new forum documents. He left the door open to lower-tier LST additions to era shipments but had no commitment beyond what was already documented.

When asked about the return date for Maul's event, MeatheadMilitia stated that he cannot give the exact date but suggested it would be "easy to guess." This implies the event follows a predictable schedule or pattern that observant players could deduce.

A suggestion was made to MeatheadMilitia to add Relic 8 (R8) and Relic 9 (R9) materials to the era currency shop. He indicated that he believes he has made this suggestion before and will either check on its status or add it to the list of community suggestions.

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 discussed potential solutions for packs containing elements of chance. He suggested either implementing age verification to allow sales to verified accounts or creating regional packs that contain no chance-based mechanics. He plans to communicate these options to the development team.

MeatheadMilitia confirmed that the inability for some players to purchase crystal packs, specifically in Brazil, is due to a new national law. This law reportedly prevents the sale of crystal packs, which involve an element of chance, without age verification. He stated that the game cannot bypass such government-imposed laws.

MeatheadMilitia confirmed he would add a suggestion to his report regarding the possibility of introducing more questlines similar to those seen during the anniversary events. Players expressed enjoyment for the "grind and brain activity" these quests provided, contrasting it with typical energy simming.

MeatheadMilitia indicated that a fix for the Phalanx Omicron, which is tied to a game mode that has been absent since November, is coming "soon." This response was given to a player expressing frustration about the prolonged delay in addressing the issue.

MeatheadMilitia announced that community milestone events, particularly the manual versions, have been paused indefinitely. This decision was made in response to negative feedback received from players on the forums regarding these events. He did not specify if automated versions might return or what the future of community milestones holds.

Players inquired about the eligibility of newer character eras, specifically Cavalry and Order 66, for Light Side Territory Battle (LSTB) tokens. MeatheadMilitia clarified that existing LSTB tokens will not be updated to include new units, but indicated he would relay feedback to the team regarding player desire for more LSTB opportunities. He also encouraged players to use their current tokens.

A player asked why the Era Store Lightspeed Tokens have not been updated for Era of the Cavalry and Rise of the Sith. MeatheadMilitia explained that not all LSTs are designed or maintained the same way and said he will raise it with the team for review.

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.

MeatheadMilitia confirmed the 4-LOM omicron was active in modes beyond its intended location, which is why some players felt it was hitting unexpectedly hard alongside Aphra and IG-90. The team is fixing it, and players are encouraged to file a bug report on the forum.

Several outstanding community asks got short status updates from MeatheadMilitia: the Phalanx omicron is coming soon, a Coliseum auto-fill toggle (or last-team-used default) will be suggested to the team, and Meathead is still personally pushing for a buy-all button in stores.

Signal Data has not been removed from the game economy, just relocated. MeatheadMilitia clarified it now lives in the Guild Event Store instead of the standard Guild Store, in response to a player who thought it had been pulled.

Asked about when players can expect more details on the schedule for new Jedi Generals returning in legacy versions, Meathead said he does not have information he can share. The brief reply leaves the timing open and confirms no public communication is imminent.
