Hi Holotable Heroes! The second Grand Arena Championship is winding down, so I want to take a moment to preview the next notable change for this type of event. With the Championship starting November 7th, there will be a new twist on Grand Arena Championships. One of the things we wanted to do with these Championships is to apply a theme to them, and this is usually done around the Feats that occur throughout the event. The exhibition championship, the launch championship, and the one that is just finishing up were themed around the Clone Wars with feats that featured the Galactic Republic, Clones, Separatists and General Grievous in various fashions. For this next one we will be focusing on a specific faction: the First Order. With the theme of the First Order comes some new and interesting feats to challenge you. While many feats are repeating from earlier championships, quite a few are brand new and will ask you to do things to earn those points in new and interesting ways. Feats li... Read more

Cough Cough Holotable Heroes, We have two exciting ships releasing this week, BTL-B Y-wing and the Hyena Bomber! Both ships are designed to be front line tanks that can take several hits and will open up a variety of new squadrons in Fleet Battles. Read on as our ship designers CG_Mandellorian and CG_BScheel explain to me why these ships are a must-have for your fleet.Q: Why should I unlock this ship?

• CG_B: The Hyena bomber is a really hefty tank if you need a ship to protect the rest of your fleet, but its biggest advantage is that it can ignore taunt. It’s the 2nd crewless ship in the game, which means you can unlock it without worrying about crew and it synergizes very well with Vulture droids… and who knows, maybe we will see a few more of those flying around in the future

Q: What is the ideal Capital Ship for Hyena Bomber?

• CG_B: REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED but in the meantime we would recommend Home One or Chimera. Both of these capital ships work well with other Separatist ships ...

Hi Holotable Heroes, Today we are discussing the BTL-B Y-wing Starfighter, with the designer, CG_Mandellorian! This prominent clone wars-era bomber can punch above its weight class when paired with a Galactic Republic fleet. You can also check out the Hyena Bomber if you prefer the cold, metal Separatist ways instead. Q: Why should I unlock this ship?

• CG_M: This ship is a heavy tank that gets extra Protection from Galactic Republic allies, including those in Reinforcements. It’s clearly a great fit for any Galactic Republic fleet in need of some survivability and wants to use their Hound’s Tooth in another fleet. It may look like it only has average stats for a tank but it can have over 150k Protection in a fleet made up of all Galactic Republic ships. It’s going to take a while to chew through those shields and you will still have to deal with the constant healing from its allies being critically hit.

Q: Why is this ship crewless?

• CG_M: Unlike the droid ships which really don’t ha...

Hi Holotable Heroes, The Separatists have built a heavily armored bomber to assist their faction’s fleet battles. The Hyena Bomber is effective at protecting Vulture Droid allies and absorbing an incredible amount of fire power depending on how many Separatist and Droid allies are present but this droid controlled bomber is not just a tank. It can also launch salvos of Buzz Droids at the enemy to weaken their armor and provide allied Separatist ships powerful advantages. Learn more about this ship's new kit and earn shards of the Hyena Bomber in the upcoming Galactic Chase later this week! Hyena Bomber blueprints will be available as bonus rewards on all Cantina nodes for a limited time! Head over to the Cantina holotable starting on November 1st and earn blueprints for this robust Separatist tank! EDIT: Date changed to Nov 1st Read more

Hi folks, I have some unfortunate news, there are a particular set of circumstances where it's possible to get additional Malak shards in this event that we did not catch. We are pulling down the event once again and monitoring the impact. I'll update this thread as soon as I have more information. <>

Hi Holotable Heroes, We saw an increase in players reporting buttons disappearing during battle with the start of the current Territory Battle. Our previous "band aid" did not work as well as we had hoped (only restoring around 15% of locks), but thanks to the extra logging we recently added, we believe we have isolated the main culprit: a specific interaction with characters who generate additional turns or attacks that are queued up right before an encounter ends. Characters like Count Dooku are particularly prone to triggering this problem and we are investigating if we can make some temporary changes that reduces the need to use them in battle. Fixing this issue continues to be a top priority and a daily focus for the team. We are working on a tentative fix for what we have identified as the primary issue, but the combat system is extremely complex and there may be other interactions we have yet to identify that are causing similar behavior. As much as we want to deploy a fix immed... Read more

Hi Holotable Heroes, Today’s Update contains several changes to address the Star Forge Showdown issue. CHANGES

• Star Forge Showdown event has been scheduled to start at 11:00 AM PT (18:00 UTC) tomorrow (10/25)
• Darth Malak has returned to the GET Store
• 500 Crystals sent to all accounts

Notes about Darth Malak Reversion:

• 6 dot mods are not intended to be reverted with today’s update and these mods will remain on sub G12 Darth Malaks. These mods cannot be immediately re-equipped to Darth Malak if removed unless the character meets the requirements (Gear Level 12)
• Due to a technical difficulty, the Darth Malak gear reversion did not work in its entirety. Not all players had their gear fully reverted, with most gear G12 and below remaining on the character. We have opted to leave the gear as is for the moment as we believe we have left many of the Darth Malaks in unique situations (6* Darth Malak with Gear 12, etc), that are ultimately in the player’s favor. Check your Darth Malak first...

Hi Holotable Heroes! Today’s Server Update contains the changes outlined in the Malak Reconciliation plan. Please visit this thread for more information. We will be rolling out the server update over the next hour. Once complete, we will notify you in this thread and your client will need to reboot.

Hi folks, We posted last night that we needed to delay the release to Thursday due to some additional issues but I wanted to give you an update on the status today. We are still on track for tomorrow's release. You can find the details in the previous post here and our original post on the issue here. We will let you know tomorrow when we have an exact time for the update. Read more

Hello Holotable Heroes, We’re letting you know we need to delay the Darth Malak rollback that we originally had planned for today. The rollback is a complicated procedure and we need more time for testing. We’re angling to roll it out tomorrow (10/23/2019) around 10:30 AM PST, but we’ll keep you updated if things change. We also wanted to let you know that we’ve reconsidered our position regarding the Darth Malak make good. We recognize that there are a number of players that had no idea that the event was giving out duplicate shards based on the messaging live in the game. We can’t preserve the additional shards/promotions as we described earlier. However, we also recognize that many players have now grown accustomed to having their Darth Malak promoted or unlocked. We would like to expand our current offerings to the following:

1. All players will receive 500 crystals, up from 250.
2. Players that did not have 7* Darth Malak as of 10/18 12:01 AM PST and are having shards/progress removed,...

Hi Holotable Heroes! Today’s Server Update contains a temporary fix for the Starforge Showdown bug from last week. We will be rolling out the server update over the next hour. Once complete, we will notify you in this thread and your client will need to reboot.CHANGES

• [GENERAL] - Due to the Starforge Showdown bug on 10/18, we have temporarily removed Darth Malak from the GET Store. Darth Malak will return to the GET Store when the event is rescheduled. Darth Malak will remain in the GET Store until the next refresh of the Store. We apologize for the inconvenience.. Read more on the topic in our post here

Hello Holotable Heroes, Today, we had a bug occur where players that previously completed the Starforge Showdown event were able to receive the rewards of the event a second time. This was an unintended consequence of a recent change to the store system. Unfortunately, we cannot allow these shards to remain in system without undercutting GET and those who previously earned Malak without the bug. What we’re going to do to correct our mistake is roll back any character star promotions and changes to the state Darth Malak was at 10/18/2019 12:01 AM PDT, for any players that received the extra shards. Any gear, relics, etc that was applied to Darth Malak will be returned to their inventory. We will be rolling back the affected Darth Malaks on 10/22/2019. On 10/21/2019 we will be removing Darth Malak from GET store to help get an accurate snapshot of the state of Darth Malaks with the extra shards. Darth Malak will return to the GET store on 10/22/2019. Some players received extra shards th... Read more

Hi Holotable Heroes! This update temporarily removes the Star Forge Showdown while we fix the bug discovered this morning. Please stay tuned to this thread for more information about the next steps for this issue.
