Hi Holotable Heroes,

It’s time again for another Road Ahead. As CG_Erik, mentioned last week I’ll be taking over writing the Road Ahead posts. If you haven’t seen my name pop-up before, I’m the Live Producer. The Live Operations team is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the game. We introduce new characters, ships, and events. I’m really excited to talk about what’s coming next.

With that said, let’s step into the Cantina and see what the future has in store for the next few months.

The Battle Rages On...

It’s been a few weeks since Separatist Might landed and we’ve already seen guilds do some incredible things. Team Instinct and Mighty Chlοrians were the first guilds to get to at least 30 stars! Congratulations to both Team Instinct and Mighty Chlorians and good luck on the march to 33 stars! Also, about 80 players have beaten the Acklay! Crush the Republic scum and conquer Geonosis!

You may be wondering, “Is this the end of our focus on the Clone Wars era?” Far from... Read more

Game has been moved to approximately 12:30 AM Pacific

when will CG give us back the GP they STOLE from us????!!!

I'm not even sure what we'd do with the stolen gp. In all seriousness, we are digging into it and we think we've got a lead on it. We'll keep everyone updated.

Geonosian Territory Battle Platoons (Dark Side)

CG_TopHat 6 years ago

Thread

Original

Hi Holotable Heroes,

We wanted to reach out and give you an update on how platoons will work in the Geonosis Territory Battle. Our plan for platoons is to make them static in all phases. However, given that this represents the most end game of end game content and that the platoon abilities are key to victory at this time, we wanted to make the strategic trade off between using a character in a platoon and using the character in combat a meaningful decision. This results in many desirable characters being included in platoons (Darth Malak, Darth Revan, General Grievous, etc). Additionally, the number of each of these required will increase as the phase increases. Our goal is to alleviate some of the intraguild planning, while also challenging players’ rosters.

As a related side note, the minimum character/ship star requirements for each phase is as follows:

Phase 1 = 6*
Phase 2 = 6*
Phase 3 = 7*
Phase 4 = 7*

You can find the full set of platoons detailed here. We will review this pla... Read more

They’re a high gear and zeta cost, end game team. I’m happy to see them be monsters. Best of all, no new bottleneck gear, more than you can say for the three most recent team. A little sad that to me this puts them clearly above JKR, but hey, I went DR first 😃. Time to start farming the seps. Seems like with the magna rework you guys are trying to trifurcate the seps into droid army, bugs, and leaders types( nute, wat,douku)?

We're trying to make sure that there's some actual framework around the various Separatists "sub-types" than there was before, but you're not wrong.

It's always weird the double speak.

Satisifed by GG, then make two changes.

Hopefully this juices up the General.

It's not so much double speak as it is an outgrowth of that we consider characters in a lot of different lights/contexts. Their stats vs their abilities vs their thematics vs how they perform in concert with other characters, etc. When we said "satisfied," what we mean is that G13 did the work with Grievous that we wanted it to do - he got healthier and did a lot more damage. However, the Separatist Droids as a team weren't exactly where we wanted them (we had grand ambitions initially that just improving Grievous via gear would be sufficient). To get them where we wanted we also needed to do a little ability work to Grievous as well.

Hi Holotable Heroes,

When we released the General Grievous rework back in February there was a lot of feedback that the rework didn’t make him powerful enough, or at least as powerful as some people expected.

As you can probably imagine, although we weren’t able to talk about it at the time, we knew G13 was coming in the near-future and we wanted to ensure Grievous (and the Separatist Droids) didn’t become an utterly overwhelming force when G13 came into the game. Knowing at that time that we wanted to double-down on health being his scaling stat, we were conservative with the power we gave him at that time in anticipation of the power gains he’d get with the introduction of G13.

During our play testing leading up to the release of G13, we discovered that even after applying G13, we found that although we were satisfied with where General Grievous was landing, there was still some room to grow the Separatist Droid faction based on our intended targets.

So, we’re making the following ch... Read more

Dark Side Territory Battle - Geonosis Qualification Requirements

CG_TopHat 6 years ago

Thread

Original

Couple things I wanted to hop in here and clarify.

1) Concurrently was my bad word choice. While concurrently means you will have access to both Hoth and Geonosis Territory Battles, you need to choose which one your Guild will participate in. I've been living with the "you must select a TB" thing for so long that I glossed over it in my head. My apologies, not my intention to be confusing.

2) I'm seeing a lot of questions about rewards. Generally they're along the lines of "Can I still receive GET from Geonosis?" CG_Cyanides recently wrote here that players would be able to get GET and GET MK II from Geonosis. So those players that are still pursuing Hermit Yoda, Wampa, and other goodies in the GET store can still make progress towards them WHILE also making progress on Geonosis goodies.

3) I'm also seeing a fair bit of consternation around how only one can be selected at a time. I'll offer that this decision didn't come lightly in the studio and that we considered a lot of different opt... Read more

Dark Side Territory Battle - Geonosis Qualification Requirements

CG_TopHat 6 years ago

Thread

Original

We wanted to talk to you today about Dark Side Territory Battle - Geonosis and how a guild can qualify to play it. Before we dive into the specifics of qualifying, I want to lay out our thought process in order to provide context on why we have qualification requirements in the first place.

First, we decided early on in the development of Geonosis that we would be running Geonosis concurrently with Hoth. We weighed the pros and cons of running them back to back versus running them concurrently and ultimately decided that we didn’t want to ask guilds to engage in such a heavy coordination exercise in addition to the Territory War coordination. If we have Territory Battles every day you will end up overlapping with Territory Wars which could be exhausting (and we’ve talked a lot with our beta testers about how the game can already be demanding for veteran Guilds).

Second, Geonosis is intentionally much more difficult than Hoth. As the game ages and rosters become more developed, we want ... Read more

Nightsister/Anakin P3 Loop Team

CG_TopHat 6 years ago

Thread

Original

It’s come to our attention that there is a team in Phase 3 of the Heroic Sith Triumvirate that can functionally solo/”loop” the Phase. This team is composed of Mother Talzin, Asajj Ventress, Nightsister Initiate, Old Daka, and Jedi Knight Anakin. This loop works due to an unintended interaction between Mother Talzin and Jedi Knight Anakin taking a bonus turn. As has been a long-standing policy of ours, when we discover infinite loops we take action on them. Due to our current slate of work in finishing the Grand Arena Championship and the Dark Side Geonosis Territory Battle, and the fact that with these releases, the Sith Raid is intended to be more trivial, we will not be taking action on this issue until after the release of the Territory Battle. After their release we will evaluate the issue and let you know if or how we plan on addressing it. Because Jedi Knight Anakin is currently sitting where we want him to sit in the meta, our efforts will be to address this interaction first a... Read more
