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.

Players received some currency by mistake. Meathead confirmed it was not his doing but said it can be kept and spent, and confirmed he spent his own. Multiple players asked for a higher cap or shorter refresh on the related track. Meathead said the feedback has been noted.

Asked directly for his opinion on the new Light Side Bundles, Meathead gave a measured non-endorsement. He said the bundles exist for players who want them and see value in them, framing them as optional rather than recommending a purchase.

A player flagged that certain abilities have stopped playing their sound effects. Meathead said he hopes the team is aware and asked the reporter to file an Answers HQ post, noting the official forum is secondary for bug tracking. He offered to follow up once a link is sent via DM.

A player asked where players could view how much energy the new content costs. MeatheadMilitia said he would poke the team. There was no immediate published source.

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.

Asked whether there were plans to limit how often the Shard Shop can be refreshed, given that current behavior lets players convert shard currency into effectively all of their GL currency, MeatheadMilitia said he had no information on this.

Asked why the fleet mastery change was happening during a rough player sentiment period, MeatheadMilitia said the change exists to allow players who do not yet have those ships at 330 shards to be able to do the fleet masteries daily. He acknowledged that feedback from players already at 330 had been noted.

A player raised concern that an episode feat requiring completion of 5 Galactic Challenge tiers is scheduled for December 14, which is roughly half a day after the final GC of the run will already have appeared. MeatheadMilitia said he passed the concern along to the team.

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 bug prevented Squad Arena currency from appearing in daily rewards, though it was present in make-good packages. The developer confirmed this is a bug and stated the currency will be reintroduced to daily rewards.

Multiple players reported that crystal purchases on the webstore did not deliver coaxium. CG_Meathead asked each affected player to DM their ally code so the team can investigate. The issue spans at least three separate reports across the day.

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.

CG_Meathead confirmed that the removal of squad currency from the daily chest was unintentional. It is being treated as a bug and will be added back in a near future update.

The new Kessel Run loyalty program is experiencing various technical issues affecting players' ability to earn and claim rewards. Common problems include purchases not yielding Coaxium, daily logins not being registered, and some rewards not appearing in-game. The development team is actively investigating these bugs.

Players can complete Episode Quests at any point during an Episode. Missed days do not prevent quest completion, as all quests remain available. This design allows players to catch up without penalty, ensuring continuous participation and progress towards Chapter rewards.

The content creator is looking into a community report that the 200 daily Squad Arena tokens, previously available from daily activities, are no longer appearing. This suggests a potential change or bug in the game's daily rewards system, and the creator plans to investigate further.

The content creator has forwarded community feedback regarding the visibility of quests and feats in the new system. Players desire to see upcoming quests and feats in advance, even if locked, to allow for better planning. This would help players prepare for tasks like mod updates without relying on datamines.

The content creator suggested that the Episode Pass, even at $30, offers better long-term value than purchasing three packs of marquee boosters, assuming players are already buying boosters. He implied that the free track is sufficient for those who do not regularly purchase boosters.

The content creator confirmed there is no specific release date for simmable events, which are still 1-2 months away. He also stated that issues with the loyalty store not launching with the Huyang character were not intentional, attributing them to technology challenges.
