Greetings,

Here are the update notes that went out earlier today (sorry for the delay).

General Updates
The Grand Master’s Training Event now has a timer to show when it will be returning.

Double Drops have been added for Dark Side (Hard) battles.

Additional details on the Heroic difficulty for The Pit raid have been added to show that there is a time limit of 2 days.

A new PvE version of Rey has been added to Cantina Battle 4-G and 7-F.

Wedge Antilles is the new Aurodium Pack character (will appear at 4pm Pacific Time). NOTE: Aurodium Packs only appear for players who have spent $200 US dollars or more (or region equivalent).

Bug Fixes
Lando Calrissian’s leader ability now also applies to Rebel characters.
Grand Master Yoda no longer grants himself Critical Chance up when using the ability on Greedo.
The description for Tusken Shaman’s Rite of Savagery ability has been updated to correctly show that it gives additional health based on all negative status effects that an enemy has instead of just DoTs.

    Nothing about the RG taunt fix? @EA_Jesse

    I'd also love to hear a response now 9 days later about a fix to the Guild Names.

    Ya know, since you told everyone to just pick a name like (Guild Name) 1 and then put in a support ticket to have it changed.

    My RG definitely didn't lose his taunt after one action (arena fight earlier today after my game had updated).

    Is this a real change?

    Hahaha

    In summary:
    If you're farming RG, stop.
    Get Lando now!
    Rey (original) will be nerfed soon. (Best guess)
    Cry counting the hours until Starkiller Rey is released. :cry:

    I also have not noticed a change in RG behavior.

    Seems obvious to me that the devs are slowly but surely trying to make synergies better and other teams useful. The best of these so far seeming to be Rebels.

    ST Han was great before; now he's beast.
    Same for Leia.
    Ackbar making more appearances in my shard's top spots.
    Lando's leader ability now works for Rebels, too.
    Wedge is released.

    Furthermore, Rebels seem very future-proof - unlikely to be nerfed.

    Thoughts?

    And Chewie. Often overlooked, but killer at 7*/fully geared.

    Am I the only one who isn't excited by his kit? It seems mostly oriented around damage. I am looking for more interesting utility players for the raid and dunno if this is worth 200 bucks.

    I was hoping for Sun Fac. :(
    Quit 7/14/16. Best of luck to all of you.

    I'm VERY disappointed I can't get Wedge without paying upwards of 200 bucks, since he would be perfect for my team and is my absolute favorite supporting character (especially in the Legends universe). But that's the price you pay (pun intended, haha) for a freemium game! Hopefully he'll become available in other ways later.

    Wait, new PVE version of Rey, whats that mean? Or just, Rey's being added to Cantina nodes?

    Never mind, I just figured it. For crying out loud, throw me a fricking bone here! I've been farming Rey for 2 months+, STILL don't have her unlocked.

    I'm still crying, its not funny. I want a cantina node to farm her. I've been farming her for 2+ months and my drop luck with her shards is so abysmal I still haven't unlocked her.

    With regards to the Yoda event, does he get stronger than previous event or he is the same?

    Prepare yourself for a flood of threads declaring Yoda to be impossible because of protection/hp buff/damage buff etc.

    I grabbed my 7* Yoda early on and I do not envy anyone that has yet to do him.

    Last time, there was no change to RG, no fix, no nerf, working as same as when he was given the auto taunt. 100% verified in Arena.

    I don't envy anyone having to 'do' that creepy old green dude either ;)

    If you want to farm Rey you will do well to join a guild. She appears in the guild shop all the time.
