Recent posts from the SWGOH community summarized for quick reading. Source links to Reddit, Capital Games developer accounts, and Discord channels are always preserved on each item.
A player paraphrased that CG would be giving out a make-good "tomorrow." MeatheadMilitia pushed back lightly, saying he definitely did not say it was coming tomorrow and joked that he would go re-check the text. Compensation is implied but the date was not promised.
Reacting to praise of the new Rey kit visuals, MeatheadMilitia teased that players should wait until they hear the sound design on Special 1, and pushed back on a player who claimed to play without sound. Implies the new kit has notable audio work tied to the marquee ability.
A player updated via Google Play, was logged out, logged back in and was given a brand new account. MeatheadMilitia replied that the workaround is to force close the app, and confirmed it has happened to him too.
The latest SWGOH update introduces Rey (Dark Side Vision) and Huyang, alongside a new Loyalty Program event starting November 21st. Kelleran Beq is now accelerated, and Shin Hati - Dark Side is available in Hard Mode. Punishing One is now farmable.
Asked whether to hoard energy until double drops, MeatheadMilitia answered with a one-word "always." Standard hoarding advice from CG's community side, but worth noting as on-the-record confirmation rather than community lore.
PC players reported the EA App update loop, where the client downloads the update, completes, then prompts for the same update again. MeatheadMilitia confirmed the team was working on it in a call, and posted a workaround telling PC users to fully close out the EA App and reopen it to get into the game.
A player flagged that anyone who finished some of their dailies before the update cannot complete the new daily quests, and there is a false notification driving players to the home screen with nothing to action there. MeatheadMilitia said he passed the report along to the team while he was on a call.
MeatheadMilitia tells players to check the iOS or Android app store for the new SWGOH client update. If the update is not visible right away, it will populate over time as the stores propagate it. One iOS player confirmed they had to tap the SWGOH listing in the App Store before the update option appeared.
Players are experiencing a soft lock state. A client update is available for iOS and Android, and a PC client update is in progress, with a forced update scheduled for tomorrow. A make-good will be provided for affected players, including those impacted by daily quest completion issues.
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is celebrating its 9th anniversary from November 18 to November 24 with various in-game activities. Players can expect double drops for multiple battle types and an anniversary inbox gift containing various materials and character shards. Special crystal offers will also be available in-game and via webstore.
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.
A new Light Side Attacker Droid, Huyang, is introduced as the first Marquee unit of The Era of Apprentices starting November 19, 2024. His kit focuses on buffing Jedi, Light Side Droid, and Spectre allies, with special synergies under a Spectre Galactic Legend leader and in Territory Battles. He can be used with 50R-T Droids or General Syndulla before acquiring GL Ahsoka.
The development team is monitoring player interaction and data related to the new Galactic Chase system. MeatheadMilitia encourages ongoing feedback from both free and paid track users, confirming that this input will be documented and considered for potential future adjustments to the system.
The Galactic Chase store refreshes weekly. Players should be aware that the in-game currency used for purchases has a cap, though the exact amount was not specified by the creator, who advised players to spend their currency to avoid hitting the limit.
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.
The Galactic Chase Pass+ is designed for players who want to quickly access rewards without extensive gameplay. It instantly grants 20 levels worth of rewards, catering to those who prefer immediate gratification and convenience over engaging deeply with Galactic Chase events.
The creator advises that purchasing the Galactic Chase Pass is more efficient than buying two or three Marquee character boosters if a player typically buys boosters. The Pass provides more overall resources in addition to the character shards, making it a better value for the same or similar investment.
The Episode 1 rewards are detailed, listing contents for both the Free Track and the $20 Episode Pass Track. Available shipments are also outlined, including costs in Episode Currency for ability materials, character shards, relic materials, mods, slicing materials, and gear. Shipments refresh weekly.
Puzzles are sometimes developed months in advance with an older pipeline, leading to situations where in-game information is released prior to the puzzle itself. The developer released a recent puzzle for those who enjoy them, despite some information already being available, and asked players to avoid negativity.
Information regarding the new Episode and Shipment stores is expected to be posted today, assuming all goes well. This update will likely detail what character shards and other items will be available in these new in-game stores.
