Game Update - 10/27/2016 Comments and Questions ***MEGATHREAD***

BentWookiee

Greetings,

Here are the update notes for 10/27

• New ROGUE ONE Character for November’s Daily Log In: BISTAN!
• Bistan is a wild Rebel attacker who utilizes a brand new buff, Frenzy, allowing him to gain 100% Turn Meter whenever an ally uses a Special ability (Frenzy's duration can be increased by upgrading the ability). An able gunner, Bistan, is able to utilize “Gunner Tactics” to both deal damage and remove Turn Meter from his target. By utilizing his abilities, Bistan is able to provide sustained bursts of damage while delaying his enemies.
  • And as an added bonus, we will be running a daily ROGUE ONE: BISTAN event for the month of November that allows players to collect additional Bistan character shards. If you log in every day, you can unlock Bistan early and increase his star level by the end of the month!
  • Omega Battles are returning every Saturday in November! Log in every Saturday in November and earn rare Ability Material Omega pieces!
  • Additionally, there will be 2 new packs launched with specific Omega events, a Clones/Droids daily pack and Sith/Nightsister daily pack. Keep a look out for their debut!
  • Scarif Rebel Pathfinder has been added to Cantina 1D
    
  Improvements to Squad Tournaments
  • Another Squad Tournament is around the corner, so we want to let you know about a few improvements we made.
  • We fixed the bug causing the character refresh to occur at the wrong time
  • To mitigate an unintended behavior, the defensive squad can only be set once per Tournament and matchmaking has been improved.
  • We changed the cost of refreshing characters from Crystals to Ally Points to create a more inclusive experience
  • There will be a 5000 Ally Point gift to get you started!
  
  Bugs
  • Scarif Rebel Pathfinder: Heal from "Do or Die" will no longer fail if the unit is defeated with Healing Immunity and/or Shock present
  
  Edit: Fixes for the Raid issues are being implemented. You many find more information here: https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/73711/current-raid-bugs-and-fixes#latest

Yay. Shore trooper this time.

Love the ally point substitution for crystals. Also - Scarif! Clones!

Gunslinger87

Ally points vs crystals may not mean much, depending on how expensive the refreshes are.

Has everone also noticed how they completely forgot to mention the shard fiasco? Yeah. Thought so :-)

100 thousand ally points snd 50 7* toons may not be enough to get you top 100 on one shard. While 1000 ally points and 1 7* will get you p1 on another one :-) no thanks CG.

Wow crystals to ally points? Now that is a huge gift lol

Valace2

Finally!!!!!!

Something that made me think.they have a fig about there players.

I love the ally point idea

Bloodreaper

Sounds great! Really looking forward to the new Rebel, sounds like a cool design.

Slewfoot

what exactly is allies--> forums?

DarthMegaBex

Yay

Cashavelli

Huh?

this looks interesting

DarthMegaBex

Check events, Bistan is being released
Frenzy: 100%tm when ally uses special ability

Cashavelli

Oh. Hey, neat

Catarra

Thank you so much for changing the tournament refresh from crystals to ally points!

Come on EA give us someone to farm in GW shipments already. Last 4 have gone to cantina shipments. Either put something useful in GW shipments are give us a new currency for mods....it's impossible to progress right now without spending $1000's of dollars and currently your product isn't worth $10. Get it together.

Gankak

/agreed

DarthMegaBex

Bistan and Scariff nice

pixman83

This certainly makes me think that sith and/or night sisters will finally have their own event in the near future. Probably around august.

@capgasp told us there would be no future events that would use ally points to refresh as there was no easy way to get more of them in short time, so many of us used them up.

If the number of refreshes is not limited, then this would be an unintended benefit to those who hoarded or were too lazy to pull bronziums.

I agree

Dark_Jedi

Well I am glad he is in Cantina, GW is still way to hard, at least for me.

DarthMegaBex

At least Bistan is going to be the daily and also has an event in 4 days and for awhile wooot

+1 bRho

Loose_Lee

Ok...this may not completely level the f2p/p2p gap from last tourny...but it should makeit iinteresting!

hope you been saving ally points... over 250k ally points saved up in anticipation of using them on an event... so happy it's this one.

Robhar3187

It's beyond ridiculous at this point

Melvil

And still no new toon in GW? Seriously?

CerealKiller

Now that is how you do it!!! great adition to the game, great changes to PVP

I would sugest that you allow pvp defens squad change based on power so you can change squad with a higher power squad.... or impose a minimul power limit to squad with a mesage "squad too week" based on individual player PVP arena power, but for the time beeing I think 11 lifetime squad will work great, let's just hope no one missclicks on a low tier toon out of accident and gets stuck with it, but even so it would be worth it over abuse

Great update guys!!!

Queue: People to start complaining that they didn't get a months notice of this to save up ally points.

Meerava

yes, this news indeed made my day.

PsychoticRage924

3 days ago I spent 45k that I had saved up.
Ouch.

Spardog713

I have to be honest. If I spent a boatload of cash to get shoretrooper and then saw this I would quit the game instantly...

Unless Shoretrooper is not rewarded in next tourney that is.

Polarice

.... After they told everyone they would never have a use outside of bronziums so go spend them all....
