Hiya!
A recent bug seems to have hitched onto our recent server release where Character PVP defensive squads are netting ridiculous amounts of damage. Our team is currently investigating the issue (along with Fleet Battles) and will have more information soon. A huge thanks to the Holotable heroes in Bugs and Issues who brought this bug to our attention so quickly!

Status updates will be added to this post. Cheers!

    (9/18) Hotfix LIVE

    Hotfix has been pushed and the above issues regarding excessive damage in Arena have been addressed. Hooray! If you do not see these changes, please restart/refresh.

    Please note that if you began a Galactic War node containing overpowered opponents during the time this bug manifested, those opponents are 'saved' to your server. This means that despite the hotfix, this node, and remaining nodes, will remain very difficult. We're currently investigating how to move forward addressing this, but for now we recommend restarting Galactic War.

    UPDATE- Defeating the bugged node should result in the subsequent nodes returning back to normal. As this bugged GW node makes defeating it exceedingly difficult, we're currently investigating how to move forward addressing this with the playerbase. We appreciate your patience as this is looked into!
