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.
This post answers community questions about Padawan Sabine Wren's kit and tag interactions. It clarifies how Off Balance stacks and functions, confirms the doubling of stats for Spectre allies, and details her synergy with Light Side Mandalorians and Unaligned Force Users.
Today's update adds Padawan Sabine Wren and reveals the third set of Galactic Legend Ahsoka Tano requirements. Several fixes were also implemented, including issues with TIE Dagger, Fifth Brother, and ally TIE fighters gaining Marked.
Content creator MeatheadMilitia is working on a write-up that will include information about an unannounced Quality of Life (QoL) improvement for Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. He mentioned this detail while apologizing for being absent from chat, indicating the update is in development.
A new character, Padawan Sabine Wren, is being introduced to Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. She is an Attacker and a prerequisite for Galactic Legend Ahsoka Tano. Her kit features a new debuff called Off Balance and mechanics that interact with Force Connection stacks and Spectre allies.
The November 1, 2024 update was a backend patch that addressed an issue with the Grand Arena Championships store and updated Galactic Challenge feats for a future event. No client update was required, and no new content was added.
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.
A Q&A clarifies Baylan Skoll's kit, team composition, and unlock. Event cadence is roughly every three months, unlock is at 7-stars, and full shards require completing the battle three times. Answers cover Soldier of Fortune stacking, Leader ability interactions, Mercenary synergies, and several specific ability rulings.
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 change to Galactic Legend battles was implemented today. Players will no longer lose tickets when they lose a Galactic Legend battle that requires tickets.
A new Quality of Life update has been implemented in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. Players will no longer lose Galactic Legend (GL) tickets when they are defeated in a GL ticket battle. This change was championed by MeatheadMilitia and another team member, stemming from personal frustration during their own GL chases.
This update introduces Baylan Skoll, makes Marrok available in Chromium Packs, and adds Great Mothers to Cantina 8-E. IG-12 is now accelerated, and Galactic Legend tickets are no longer lost on a battle loss. Several bug fixes are included, and a known issue regarding TIE Dagger's ability description is noted.
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 TIE Dagger's "Eradicate the Weak" crew ability has been updated with two changes. Max Protection gain per Sith ally was increased from 20% to 40%, and a new effect was added to prevent enemy Dark Side Ships from gaining Turn Meter if the allied Capital Ship is Sith.
Baylan Skoll, a Dark Side Tank, Leader, Mercenary, and Unaligned Force User, is introduced as an Epic Confrontation character. His event begins on October 31st at 11 AM Pacific and requires Grand Admiral Thrawn, Great Mothers, Marrok, Morgan Elsbeth, and Shin Hati at Relic 7. His kit focuses on gaining and utilizing "Soldier of Fortune" stacks for himself and Mercenary allies, with specific abilities for Grand Arenas.
