I have to say this update has been totally underwhelming so far. Next year maybe we could have a little less hype. At least there was some new content mixed in with all the bug fuxes.

What hype? How could anyone be hyped about something we knew nothing about until release?

Because Kozi was hyping it up?
Are you asking me? Anyway, that’s her job, that’s like getting excited when a used car salesman tells you he’ll give you a great deal.
"Fixed an issue where Ezra Bridger and Captain Han Solo were missing the scan line textures on their weapon materials."
Yes! I was so worried that they would instead focus on something like fixing Talzin's TM gain not working. Good to know the focus was on things that have a larger impact on gameplay.
I know we are months at the very least away from arenas featuring Darth Traya zeta lead teams but I just want to be among the first to say...R.I.P BB8. You will be missed.
Is there a reason why is this achievement is not also retrospective like the total number of wins?
Our guild has cleared the whole board before and we havent been awarded the achievement.
Anyone here been awarded this?
So a handful of responses of others who havent been given this, and others saying they've been incorrectly awarded it when they haven't cleared board and won...
And then the thread gets moved into a mega thread, buried where it makes no sense.
Im confused by the obsession of grouping everything under single threads.
This is a single issue relating to a tiny part of the massive update. Its not really helpful to bury it in a mega thread where we are voicing general thoughts about the update.
But if this is supposedly the correct place to post specific issues relating to one tiny part of the whole update.... anyone care to explain whats going on?
Edit; and because you deleted the thread title the post makes no sense!
This is about the TW: Flawless Victory achievment.
Galactic War simming is pretty nice to finally have, thank you. However, we were told to expect some amazing things today. I'm rather disappointed.
In the history of this game, the bigger updates ALWAYS come around or after 7PM EST. This hasn't changed in years. The fact that they pushed some of the update already is a GOOD sign. I like the stagger approach to this update. Plus they said they would be releasing more information throughout the day. It is 2PM where CG is located. Keep your chin up.
EDIT:
I may stand corrected here. The post was edited and they removed the notice about more update throughout the day. We may be done for the day. But who really knows....
Again, it's always been that way for me. The character icon has said "3+" since like the first week after I started playing.
Wouldn’t it be nice if it didn’t though?
I wouldn't hate it but I really don't care either way. You get used to it and then you don't even notice it anymore.
You don’t notice it, but other people do. Especially people with OCD.
I used up all gear so there’s no green plus.
There didn’t used to be any 3+ notification badge as it wasn’t triggered by ability upgrades.
Yes, I click on every single notification badge, even if it’s 1 WhatsApp message or 1 Discord Message or 1 Email.
I religiously clear every single notification badge on every single app on every single device.
So no, I’ll never get used to it. You’ll never understand.
"Hiya Holotable Heroes! We’ve reached the highly anticipated Quality of Life Update! Here are the Version Updates for 2/28/2018"
(CG_Leviathan standing in for Kozi here)
Quality of Life Improvements
Raid Tickets (Daily) Fixed:
Guild Officers can now rest assured that the Raid Tickets (Daily) leaderboard in Guild Management will consistently be accurate.
Device Linking:
An account on an iOS device can now be linked to an Android device so that it can be played on both devices (same with Android to iOS). This allows players that are changing phones, or have multiple devices, to continue their game progress. This option is available in Settings. Note: Accounts across iOS devices will continue to support linking via Game Center and accounts across Android devices will continue to support linking via Google Play.
Galactic War Simming:
Players that have reached level 85 and completed Galactic War 150 times can now sim Galactic War
Text Search:
When filtering units by category, you can now search via text entry, for example typing “Han” to see all the characters with Han in their name. The search includes all tags set for the character such as “Dark Side” or “Jedi”
Pre-Battle Filters:
Selecting units in the pre-combat screen is now much easier as units can be filtered by category or text.
Favorite Unit Improvements:
Units that are not activated can now be set as a favorite, allowing easy access when seeking shards.
Favorited units are now sorted to the top of the character inventory, minimizing the need to select the filter.
When viewing gear details, any characters that have been favorited are sorted to the beginning of the characters that need that gear.
Multi-Sim Ship Challenges:
A Multi-Sim button is now available in Ship Challenges once 3 stars has been reached in the final tier of Ship Building Materials, Ship Enhancement Droids, and Ship Ability Materials.
Sim Credit Heist and Training Droid Smuggling Events:
Tiers with 3 stars can now be simmed.
Inbox Message Delete button:
All inbox messages that currently only have a “GO” button will now also have a “DELETE” button so the player isn’t forced to press “GO” remove the message. (Ex. Raid Started and “New Guild Orders”.)
Rearranging Units:
There are a variety of situations where a player’s tall unit (ex. Darth Vader) is obscuring a small unit (ex. Hermit Yoda). This resulted in players being unable to select the obscured unit when an Ally ability allows it (ex. Hera’s Backup Plan ability). To ensure units can always be selected and seen, units will now rearrange based on unit height. The one exception is the leader unit, which will remain in the front. This tech also applies to opponent ships to minimize situations where an opponent's ship can not be targeted (this was primarily an issue on the Capital Ship’s turn). Zeta Purchase Confirmation: To avoid accidentally upgrading an ability to its Zeta level, a confirmation message will now warn players prior to upgrade. Shipment Improvements: To significantly reduce the number of required taps when viewing details on a shipment and then choosing to purchase, shipments now show the quantity of gear/shards owned at the top level and the details screen acts as the confirmation. Last Month Leaderboard: The “Last month’s top 3 guilds” leaderboard has been visually improved Legal Changes: Added a button linking to a new legal form for German players.
Territory War Improvements
Minimizing Ties: To minimize the chance of a tie and reward players for skill in combat, bonus banners can be earned from successful attacks. Details:
All successful attacks earn 5 banners
Bonus banners can be earned for defeating the squad/fleet on the first or second attempt
First Attempt: +10 Banners
Second Attempt: +5 Banners
1 additional banner can also be earned for each surviving unit
If less than the max units are brought into combat, 1 additional banner is earned for each empty slot. This is so players are not penalized for attacking with fewer than 5 units.
Banners earned for setting defenses have been increased to compensate for this change and ensure balance in defense and offense. 30 banners for characters and 34 banners for ships.
For example, if a player attacks a squad that has not been attacked by any other player, attacks with 5 units, and only loses 2 units, then 18 banners will be earned (5 for win, 10 for first time bonus, and 3 for the surviving units)
Defends: The number of times a squad/fleet has defended is recorded on the squad tile and the tile will remain after the squad is defeated. This will help players identify how well their squad is defending and will communicate the potential attempt bonus to attackers.
Increasing Defensive Squads for Top Guilds: As top Guilds have so many squads, the average of 4 defensive squads per player isn’t allowing them to fully demonstrate the strength of their rosters. To remedy, the average defensive squads will scale up to ~6 per player if both participants are in the highest active GP tier.
New Achievement: A new achievement has been created for Territory War wins. It has 11 levels with achievements at 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, and 50 wins. Previous wins will count toward progress.
Pre-Battle Squads: Units will no longer be pre-populated in pre-battle for Territory Wars specifically. This is to prevent accidentally entering a battle with the preselected units that typically are not meant to be together.
In ADDITION to all of the Quality of Life update information we’ve provided over the past weeks AND today (<<MEGATHREAD>>), we’re even more excited to bring you details about the upcoming Sith Raid and new powerful characters!
NEW CHARACTERS
Three new characters make their debut on the Holotable to help you craft your team.
For more information on these updates, please see their Character Strategy posts below, but be mindful. Hatred... is a fragile alliance at best.
SITH TRIUMVIRATE RAID
The presence of the Darkside is here to make itself known.
Phase one abilities:
Unbreakable Will:Gain Unbreakable Will for 1 turn. This unit may only use this ability once, but an additional use can be gained by defeating Menacing enemies. Survive any attack at 1 Health, must be targeted by enemy attacks, Speed -10%, Turn Meter can't be modified.
Phase two abilities:
Soothe: Remove all stacks of Cycle of Pain and Cycle of Suffering from this unit
Cycle of Pain: +20% Offense per stack, can't be Resisted, can only be Dispelled by Soothe (max 5 stacks); Sion also gains 5% Offense and 10% Counter Chance
Cycle of Suffering: +150% Offense, can't be Resisted, can only be Dispelled by Soothe; Sion also gains 50% Offense and 60% Counter Chance
Phase three abilities:
Stand Alone: Face Darth Traya without relying on the strength of others. For 3 turns, this unit takes 50% less damage and all other allies become Suppressed for 3 turns. Suppressed allies grant this unit a portion of their stats based on their roles.
Tanks: +100% Tenacity
Attackers: +100% Offense

Activating Stand Alone removes all stacks of Bonds of Weakness from Traya. This ability has a global cooldown and can only be used by each unit once.

Special buffs: In this phase, Traya has a buff called From the Shadows, making her untargetable and invulnerable until both Nihilus and Sion are defeated. In addition, defeating Nihilus or Sion will grant a buff to the remaining Sith Lords until the end of the raid.
For defeating Sion: Savage Ambition: This unit gains 10 speed (Stacking), and 5% Critical Chance (Stacking) every time they perform a move or score a Critical Hit.

For my part, thank you devs for implementing the simming of GW. Also, thank you for the shard/stock counts upfront so we don't have to click on the tile to see how many we have. And thank you for bringing back the 7*/g12 notifications.
Personally, I'd like to see more QoL updates. Keep 'em coming!
1. When does the raid go live?
2. When do the marquee events for Sion and Marr start? The March calendar didn’t show either.
3. When does Sith Trooper Rework go live?

I guess you better quit the game then.
At this rate, I'm guessing late march before the raid comes.
I said it was one of those.

@CG_Kozispoon or @CG_Leviathan can you shed any light?
