NEWS
We’ve added some additional fidget sounds and animations for R2-D2 and Emperor Palpatine. These are the first units in what will be a multiphase effort to update fidgets for various characters.

In a similar vein, Darth Maul has received a touchup to his in-game character model.

And now, here’s more on some of the big changes coming to the game:

• Relic 9: Requires 2 materials to craft, Droid Brains and Gyrda Keypads. We are also expanding the ability for players to get Relic 8 materials.
• Changes to Territory Wars, including changes to Divisions, Rewards, and Matchmaking.
  • Divisions: 8 new divisions are being added to the upper ranks
  • Rewards: Relic 1-8 materials are awarded to Guilds in the new Divisions and Guilds can earn a new Relic 9 material from the top 5 Divisions
  • Matchmaking: Will take into account several factors in addition to Guild GP in order to accomplish our goal of creating a more fair and balanced experience long term
• Rancor Pit Raid Challenge Tier changes: We are adjusting the Relic 8 rewards in the challenge tier of The Pit to provide more guild members with a chance at getting Aeromagnifiers.
• Gear Economy: We plan to update the flow of Gear over several phases. Our goals for increasing Gear flow are the following:
  • Allow newer players to progress faster
  • Accelerate all players’ ability to unlock and engage with Relics
  • Ease the older Gear hurdles while maintaining their value.

For more details on the above, check out our State of the Gear-laxy forum post.
