What’s coming next week?

• There will be a new event that we’re aiming to have go live on June 28th (please note that this date could shift slightly). This will be the new Credits event that we had previously mentioned. Here are the details and requirements:
  
  • Requires 5 Scoundrels
  • There are 2 versions, level 50 and 70.
  • You may complete each version 2 times, which will give you a total of 1 million Credits.
  • This event will be random when it returns, but we’re aiming for it to be at least 1 day a week and during a weekday.

• A New character will replace the B2 Super Battle Droid in the Aurodium Pack, Geonosian Spy. This stealthy Geonosian attacker can dispel status effects and deal massive damage. Here is a look at his abilities:
