Mini-Updates:
January Daily Login Character: Finn
Jyn tournament returning on January 9th (Monday to Tuesday)
Cassian Andor’s ship tournament went away.
Unsure why, but possible because of backlash although I doubt it.
Ship required Cassian, Jyn, K2SO to use.
Excluded all IOS users already due to K2 being pilot (which makes sense)
But alos excluded all those that didn’t place top 100 in Cass/Jyn tournaments or bought the $100 pack.
Possibly low amount of people participating because of these things pushed the tournament and release of his ship back.
iOS users rejoice! Your want for K2SO has been granted!
K2SO replaced Baze in shard shop for a limited time!
There was very little rejoicing.
Droids Fight Back Event updates
Still requires Droids
Now has 7 Tiers (Including a Bonus Tier)
Same setup as K2SO event for Android
All Jawas are available as rewards now instead of just Jawa, Dathcha.
Equal chance to get shards of any of the 5
Shard shop for me, great for those still grinding.
Tiers above 60 re-balanced for mods.
Each Tier has 3 encounters now, instead of 1.
Tiers 1-6 require 3 droids (Easy if you have IG88, IG86, HK47)
Tier 7 (Bonus Tier) requires 5 droids. Tough to do with seven total droids overall.
B2, Grevious, IG88, IG86, HK47, K2SO, IG100
First event to use the new “Style Guide” for Event descriptions and Naming.
Probably not a game changing thing, but I’m intrigued.
It Came From Reddit (Dev Comments)
Capital Method (Raid Guy)
Quiet this week, 2 months.
Capgasp (Event Guy)
Someone asked for a character acquisition plan, to know where and when characters may be released to farmable areas. I like the idea but seems impossible to implement.
Capgasp mentioned talking to Kozispoon and Jesse about speaking about these things in general terms in updates so people know if SOMEONE may be going to a shipment area or something else a while before it happens. Made no promises thought.
JE AI Revives were asked about. Mainly why he’ll use his revive if a non-droid toon dies and waste it.
Said that “All "revives" are technically the same under the hood. This one just has a special subclass of targets (Droids). The AI is functioning as it was designed to, in that an ally is dead therefore it's okay to use the revive. The AI has no way at current to know that its revive won't work.”
Insight into class tags
Said that adding a second tag to characters that seem to fit several classes would “Break Many Things”.
Someone asked for General Leia or to Zeta Princess Leia
Capgasp mentioned everyone is on vacation and can’t just create a character out of thin air as it takes many weeks. But said that hopefully they could do something appropriate to honor her memory when everyone returns.
As usual very active the past two weeks. Thanks!
HiddenSpring84 (Client Guy)
Someone asked about the problem with abilities not taking up the top 50% of the information window and being cut off at the bottom
Said it should be fixed in an upcoming patch because it’s not acting as it’s intended.
SWpewpew (Sound Guy)
Nothing since ships implementation.
He worked on the awesome music and band in the Ships room.
CG_Conduit (Character Guy)
Nothing new this week.
