A player proposed a "previous raid score sim" feature to address the time commitment required for end-game players. The suggestion involves simming previous raid scores, with the option to manually run raids again to achieve and then sim new, higher scores after upgrading teams. The content creator indicated he would include this suggestion in his next report.
The content creator has suggested to the development team that the name of the official SWGOH calendar on the EA website be changed. This is due to player confusion, as many interpret the "calendar" as indicating content updates rather than just a schedule of in-game events.

The content creator acknowledged a user's praise for the "god tier animation" of new characters and stated they would relay this positive feedback to the development team. This suggests a positive reception for recent character design efforts.
Death Trooper (Peridea) is a new Dark Side Attacker. He applies the Blight debuff and utilizes a new execute mechanic tied to his Just a Little Nibble ability.
