Odd massive update?

Prev1
So I just signed into the game at 4:10 and the game just underwent some sort of update of some kind. I didn't receive any update info and saw nothing new added despite the rather excessive amount of data it loaded. It almost looked like something was being added but no message popped up. Did anyone else experience this? Was it just routine maintenance?

    New client version being pushed out. Haven't seen a post with details yet, but it seems to have some graphical upgrades.
  • Oh I kinda had my hopes up for seeing a new event or something to that extent but then again this ocean of content is just soooooo overwhelming

    Guess it’s that update they talked about some weeks ago? For better theatrical performances or something. Don’t remember exactly what they said

    For a second I also thought that there would be some sort of new content.
  • The nodes for farming Resistance Heroes as well as Hux and Sith Trooper have been reverted and are not displayed as farmable upfront, instead, they show the original toons to farm. Probably not intentional but mildly annoying for those trying to farm them.

    that will be fixed in another update per kyno iirc. not intended.
    Maybe End Game isn't for you

    For some reason the game is not loading/loading very slowly after I made the update. Did this happen to anyone else?

    Same happened to me. Needed to download around 350Mb of game assets. I just set my phone down on the main cantina for about 20 minutes then it was all good

    Just wondering, did it keep saying connection error? Mine keeps saying that.

    Click through the stores, cantina, light/dark side nodes, missions, event screen and let them load. I think arena as well. Once they fully load you will be good to go. Screen will likely go blue with a loading wheel for a second or two and then should be good to go.

    It isn't for a second or two, it takes a longer amount of time to load and then it says there is a connection error.

    that has been going on for months (at least?) now

    Yeah it has been like that but it’s less frequent in the last few days for me.

    Also the game suffer from severe stuttering going on, especially in the HAAT raid I just did yesterday. It was so bad, and it happens a few times in a GAC battles before this round started.

    I got this too, but I just reset my phone because it was acting up and thought it was to do with this.

    There's another post on this...that has been locked.

    TL;DR - it's just more of CG's lack of communication with us. Don't give them your money.

    If you type [BA55D3] at the start of your message (Inc the brackets) the following text you type will be a pinky purple colour.

    You can find six digit colour codes via Google. B in square bracketd makes text bold.

    Kyno: Hey guys, maybe you should put out a post about the big update everyone is about to experience - you know, a little communication and transparency that people have asked for for years? Maybe?

    Devs: NO!!!

    Update notes have almost always come at the same time as the server side update, haven’t they? Why would anyone expect any different now?

    @UdalCuain do you know how to get rid of the backslash when you do that?

    No, haven't figured that out yet. Part of me is hoping it just disappears with the update being pushed, but I feel that's wishful thinking. Still pretty cool though.

    Shhh... you can’t be reasonable around these parts!

    Is this your first day on the forums or something?

    For the people that keep saying “don’t they post afterwards” .... not when they do a store update and an in game update. That’s a “roll out”: https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/226360/title-update-roll-out-03-24-2020#latest

    But yes, please keep defending CG and their incredibly poor communication efforts.
