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.

The developer expressed a personal preference for Legendary Shipment Bundles (LSBs) to be priced below $50, ideally around $20 plus or minus $5. They believe higher price tags should only be used when truly warranted by the bundle's content.

A developer confirmed that a game update is expected to go live on Monday, and explicitly stated there will be no update today. This aligns with episode scheduling, suggesting a connection between in-game events and update releases.

Asked directly about a permanent Light Side Bundle tab in the store, MeatheadMilitia said the idea has been discussed in passing but is not something the team is really thinking about, and pricing decisions like Revan-bundle pricing sit above his pay grade.

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.

Asked whether the new Era cadence locks in roughly six marquees per twelve-week cycle, MeatheadMilitia said there is no set-in-stone number and described the announced structure as a foundation rather than a finalized plan, with details still subject to change.

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.

Meathead said one of the better solutions for the Fleet Arena top-rank complaint is to remove crystals from Fleet Arena entirely and put them somewhere else. He also forwarded a detailed player proposal for tiered per-win Fleet Arena rewards with a daily cap, after rewriting the language, and confirmed it has its own internal Google document.

CG community manager Meathead stated plainly that the Forest Moon Assault Battle will not run in November. He offered no further detail on cadence for Forest Moon or other older Assault Battles in upcoming months, beyond ruling out November.

Pushed by players, Meathead clarified that the community manager role is more than feedback collection. He said he has campaigned for at least three or four things players have enjoyed in recent months and championed others onto internal desks, and dismissed personal attacks as reflective of the attacker.

MeatheadMilitia confirmed in chat that the Forest Moon Assault Battle was not an oversight on the November calendar. It was intentionally replaced by another Assault Battle as new ABs enter the rotation, answering a player question about its absence.

The content creator shared his experience with the Baylan Skoll event, noting its difficulty, and acknowledged player feedback regarding the tuning of such events. He explained that balancing event difficulty is challenging because making it too easy leads to complaints about a lack of challenge, while making it too hard leads to frustration.

A community manager confirmed that some players experienced a bug with the Chewbacca LSB bundle affecting Journey Guide requirements. A simple force reset of the game often resolves this issue. If not, players should submit a support ticket, and the issue will also be internally noted.

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 in-game kit for Baylan Skoll differs from his initial reveal. Specifically, the bonus gained when an enemy evades an attack has been changed, and a significant healing component for all mercenaries has been removed.

MeatheadMilitia confirmed that the cadence for the Baylan Skoll event will be clarified in an upcoming Q&A session. He also mentioned that he might need to purchase the Superior Relic bundle to meet the requirements for the next Baylan event, suggesting the requirements might be demanding for some players.

A player inquired if Capital Games would refund resources for Sith Assassin following the Dagger update, drawing a parallel to the Malak release which diminished Sith Assassin's utility after players were encouraged to upgrade her for Darth Revan teams. MeatheadMilitia confirmed there would be no refunds for players who had relic'd the character.

The content creator believes Baylan Skoll is worth the investment of five Relic 7 characters required for his unlock. He also praised the character's design, stating that the game's designer and art team did justice to the character, making him "character accurate."

The content creator confirmed that an anticipated Quality of Life (QoL) update is not planned for Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes' November anniversary. This update was speculated by some community members.

A user named kadar_le_poet created a complex puzzle that, when solved, reportedly reveals the kit for the character Baylan Skoll. The puzzle's solution involves taking the last letter of each line, decrypting it with a Beaufort Variant of a Vigenere cipher using "Lebrock" as the autokey, and then capitalizing it correctly to form a link. MeatheadMilitia reacted with surprise, stating, "I can't believe you puzzled the kit."
