Hi Holotable Heroes!

Here is all the new content you’ll find after today’s update, 5/1/19.


CHANGES
  • Read more about our upcoming May 4th plans!
    • In celebration of May the 4th, Hard nodes in Light Side, Dark Side, and Fleet Battles, as well as Cantina Battles, are rewarding double drops on 5/4 and 5/5
    • Inbox Gift of 20 Zeta Materials and mod slicing materials
    • For a limited time, get 25% more Crystals on select Crystal packs in the Store
  • May Events have been added to the game. Find the full calendar here
  • The Spirit Altar in Ghosts of Dathomir is now resistant to percent Health effects. Abilities like Darth Malak's Drain Life will no longer be able to destroy the Altar in a single hit.


CHARACTERS AND SHIPS
For more info on these units, check out the kit reveals and strategy guides below:
  • Padme Amidala - Get the Developer Insights on Padme here
    • There is a minor issue when using the search tool for “Padmé.” Searching for “Padme” will not find the character. The accented é is supported however, so instead, search for “Padmé” or “Padm” or “Pad”. We’ll announce a fix in the future for this behavior.
  • Jedi Knight Anakin - Jedi Knight Anakin has been reworked (separate from the Tune-Up we did last month) in preparation for the release of Padmé Amidala. Anakin’s Unique will be upgraded to include a Zeta upgrade that allows Padmé to take another turn after each of Anakin’s bonus turns. Padmé will enable Anakin to dispel buffs on enemies and power up the Galactic Republic squad. We’ve also made a few other changes so head over to the latest Kit Reveal for final list of changes.


EVENTS
Aggressive Negotiations - Padme
Assemble a squad of Separatists and battle in the Arena on Geonosis to capture Padmé Amidala!
  • Event: May 2 - 17:00 UTC(10:00 AM PDT)
    Please note this event will start at a different time than other Legendary Events

    This sounds like you did something very bad to my favorite Snowtrooper.

    It is an inspired move that you've added the Emperor's Shuttle to a node that had JKA on, and removed JKA at the same time. Not like when you've added ships to nodes before and left character shards in there. Would it have been different if the character that had been on that node wasn't likely to be part of the next meta?

    He's still available in two other spots, is that big of a deal?

    Doesn't affect me, got JKA at 7* and have so for years. I just think it's a bit of a douchey move.

    It was announced to be coming, not the date. Usually they announce and say the date a week before it’s scheduled. This time they’ve announced the date, the day before.

    Of all the things to be mad or upset about, I didn't think I would see this rise to the forefront.

    What part of what I said indicated I was mad or upset? I merely stated that’s it’s a days notice for the start of the event. It’s just stating a fact.

    As its awesome to see the double drops again, was hoping myself that it'd help me finish off my Revan farm during Revan's event by it lasting a week, but oh well, guess we just have to accept what we can :) Must have been hard enough for them to even give us 2 days

    Scary to fire up the game in public and have sound and music suddenly blaring, I only turn the sound on when I'm alone.
    Make Bronzium autoplay opening an option.

    Updated T3-M4's "Carbonite Projector" ability description to accurately reflect that it will not dispel Foresight since the ability can be evaded.

    Will it still dispel foresight from stunned enemies?

    How long is the Padme event? It doesn’t say. I’m assuming a week like others but I’ve learned not to assume.

    Regarding the 2nd, was DM hitting defeated targets?

    1) No, should make it better actually. Plague should prevent dispel, apparently it wasn’t preventing conqueror from dispelling stun/ab.

    2) No, should still be a valid target. I think this is referencing something like Endor Escalation, where the “hidden” AT-ST was deathmarked.

    Were mod battles and challenges intentionally left out of double drops? @CG_SBCrumb

    Well, double drops - but they dropped the number from 8 to 5, so it's actually going to "feel" about the same as it was before they reduced the number of pulls
