SWGOH news: reply

MeatheadMilitia believes the current Trove Packs are a 'steal' for 1000 crystals, particularly if they grant a new character at 7 stars. He expressed excitement about players acquiring full characters they didn't previously own, rather than just shard shop currency.

Apple pushed an iOS update overnight that appears to have resolved the game crashing issue for some players. However, an audio issue remains. Android users are expected to receive an audio fix later today, while iOS users will have to wait until later in the week for a new build.

MeatheadMilitia confirms that an internal workaround for game loading issues, which involved reinstalling the game, did not work for an iOS 16 user. While it had shown success in internal testing, this external report indicates the problem persists for some players even after reinstallation. The team is actively investigating solutions.

MeatheadMilitia mentioned he was attending meetings focused on "things not in game yet." When asked if he could reveal details about upcoming Ahsoka requirements, he stated he could not, reinforcing his role in discussions for future content.

MeatheadMilitia, a developer for SWGOH, confirmed he is involved in the character development process "from paper to release." He stated there's "no set time" for how long this process can take, refuting speculation about specific timelines like months or a year.

The creator, MeatheadMilitia, stated he is in a "Coast" period and has not committed to farming Galactic Legend Ahsoka Tano. His decision depends on what her kit entails. He mentioned not having picked his next farming road, indicating a paused progression state.

The content creator confirmed a Datacron sneak peek is ready and will be formatted for release soon, despite some chat distractions. Players can expect this content following some delays.

The content creator anticipates the kit reveal for a new character on Monday. This information was shared in response to a direct question about when kit details would become available to the community.

MeatheadMilitia recommends prioritizing 50-crystal energy refreshes when hard farming nodes. He also advises new players, especially free-to-play, to exercise patience, manage expectations, focus on small progression wins, and seek advice from experienced players and F2P guides.

MeatheadMilitia acknowledged a player's report that the General Leia Organa (GL Ahsoka Tano) Hub is not being updated promptly. The player noted that the second set of information, known for several days, has not yet been added to the hub.

MeatheadMilitia provided the precise end time for a community event, stating it concludes at 5 PM PT. He also cautioned that a slight data delay might occur, so the team will monitor the event's status past the official end time.

MeatheadMilitia indicated that new kit reveal infographics are in the works and that he is personally contributing to them. He also noted that he has no current information on when the gifting store will be available on the PC client but is relaying the question to the relevant team.

MeatheadMilitia confirmed that players do not need to individually contribute a specific number of troopers to receive rewards from the community event. The rewards are granted to all participants once the collective community goal is met, regardless of personal farming effort.

A user credited the content creator with predicting the inclusion of Ki-Adi-Mundi (KAM) in Galactic Legends-level Light Side Bundles (LSBs). The creator acknowledged this, stating he 'battering rammed that into existence' with the help of others, indicating a concerted effort rather than a mere prediction.

A player asked the creator to not nerf the Rolo team, stating its infinite Turn Meter loop with Sana makes it powerful. The creator asked for clarification on the player's understanding of the team and if they believe an infinite loop should remain unaddressed.

Automated tracking for in-game milestones is a low priority, considered a significant development and resource ask. It will likely only be implemented if milestones return in the future, and for now, players should expect manual tracking.

When asked about current farming priorities, MeatheadMilitia recommended Jabba the Hutt. Jabba is a Galactic Legend known for his strong raid performance and utility in various game modes, making him a valuable asset for players focusing on progression.

A bug preventing ability descriptions from appearing when held mid-battle is a known issue. Players experiencing this should hold the ability icon longer for the description to load. The development team is actively investigating this problem.

The current community milestone event is a one-time test. Whether similar events will be run again depends on the results of this test, specifically regarding data tracking, functionality, and player reception. Accomplishment of the goal itself does not determine if future events will occur.

The community milestone event focuses on "Troopers" and "Trooper adjacent" characters. Progress is tracked manually by the development team, with updates posted in the forums, not in-game. Initial updates are scheduled for Friday (day of release) afternoon/evening PT, followed by regular updates starting Monday.
