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.
The regular weekly puzzle is temporarily suspended, replaced by a new community milestone event. This event is a "test" or "proof of concept" to gauge player interest and track data. Players are encouraged to participate by playing normally rather than stressing or going out of their way.
A new event, Community Milestone Events, is being introduced. Players will collaborate to achieve a common objective, unlocking milestone rewards for the entire player base. The first event, running from August 16 to August 23, requires players to defeat Troopers in various battles to reveal information about an upcoming character and earn bonus Conquest Energy and Omicron materials.
MeatheadMilitia announced the launch of the Enoch character and reminded players to complete his associated Marquee event. Players can find the event in the top left 'Events' section of the game interface.
Players experiencing issues accessing the game on Android devices can directly message MeatheadMilitia with their Ally code and any relevant device information. This allows the development team to investigate individual cases of game access problems.
The glitch causing the Naboo raid to end early is expected to resolve itself for any new raids started after the recent update. For raids initiated before the patch, the issue may persist, but the development team is actively monitoring the situation.
The new Surge Pack offers good value, especially for players farming Ahsoka Tano characters, and was an initiative MeatheadMilitia personally advocated for. The creator noted feedback about the pack's single purchase limit and will relay this to the development team.
Today's update includes the reveal of Captain Enoch's kit. Health recovery for enemies in Tiers 0 and 1 of the Battle for Naboo Raid has been reduced. Captain Drogan and Scout Trooper are now Accelerated, and Morgan Elsbeth is available in Chromium Packs and Shipments. Several bugs related to the Naboo Raid, Morgan Elsbeth, Datacrons, and Conquest environments have been fixed.
This post provides answers to player questions about Captain Enoch and related units. It clarifies character synergies, ability mechanics such as Decay and Advantage, design choices like Enoch's critical chance reduction, and decisions regarding faction tags and Omicrons.
MeatheadMilitia will forward player suggestions regarding the Datacron inventory user interface to the development team. Players have found the current UI challenging for browsing and upgrading Datacrons, leading to a request for improvements.
MeatheadMilitia stated that the Chirrut Îmwe and Baze Malbus (Chaze) duo has been viable alongside Leia Organa since her release. This claim suggests a consistent synergy between the characters.
MeatheadMilitia stated he has no knowledge regarding whether Capital Games is still planning to release Omicron abilities for older characters. He indicated he is unaware if this development phase for Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes has concluded or if future plans exist.
MeatheadMilitia has taken note of player complaints regarding the official forums' user interface, specifically the 'show more' functionality that resets to the top of the page. He has screenshot the feedback and will forward it to the development team.
Captain Enoch is a new Dark Side Support and Imperial Remnant Leader unit. His kit introduces the "Decay" effect, which provides resilience to Imperial Remnant allies at a cost by reducing their maximum recoverable Health. He is a Relic 7 requirement for Galactic Legend Ahsoka Tano and will be available via a Marquee event starting August 15th.
This update introduces a new feature that prevents players from using Galactic Legends or certain other units with datacrons in specific game modes. This change aims to balance gameplay and promote the use of a wider variety of characters without datacron boosts.
A survey has been made available asking for player feedback regarding a potential Community Pack. The survey is estimated to take less than 5 minutes to complete.
A fix has been deployed to address high RAM and CPU usage in the game. The team will monitor if this improves splash screen load times and overall hardware usage. Players experiencing improvements are asked to report them.
