The Release Notes are pretty comprehensive. I'm hoping to have them posted tomorrow.

A group of us reviewed them this afternoon and they're currently about 11 pages in a Word doc. 11 point font. Single spaced.

We've been busy.

Also, im-not-really-a-jedi is on the dev team. He's a good guy who's trying to help on his own time by answering some questions on Reddit. Once it a while that may lead to new / different info appearing there. But let's not overreact to that. These forums are where we'll post the official stuff.

Thanks!

11 pages of release notes? That's a pretty large update.

exactly my sentiments. even though he's a dev, i don't take seriously anything official unless it comes from these forums.

Don't expect too much, from what I hear the current draft is triple spaced, heavily redacted, and the text that remains is mostly censored expletives.

shh_hut_yuh_muh · February 3, 2016 5:41AM

Will it be posted to the forums?

Couldn't they simplify matters by just saying:

SWGOH PATCH NOTES

NERFS

We nerfed everyone.

END PATCH NOTES

BigBoss · February 3, 2016 5:45AM

I hope they've done a whole bunch of rebalancing. Plenty of characters need it.

I hope they release a bunch more. R2-D2, c'mon you beautiful blue b itch...

DanTom · February 3, 2016 5:48AM

11 pages, dang. Must be new content in addition to the balance changes.

Azraelrulez · February 3, 2016 5:49AM

I hope ppl wait for the release notes before starting "EA/CG are a bunch of beeps" tirades.

Heisen · February 3, 2016 6:03AM

Oh the forums will be lit up once the notes are posted, that's for sure. Should be interesting.

Keyzer_Soze · February 3, 2016 6:20AM

I've got my popcorn ready

Gurley30 · February 3, 2016 6:24AM

Its time

InternetSwag · February 3, 2016 6:40AM

So basically;

Yoda
Poe nerf
Changing the Arena system
Shard Shop
Targeting Bug Fix

Just stretched over 1110.75 pages.

Hmmmm... Sounds like you got your hands on a leaked version.

We've been called worse, believe me. In fact, being called "a bunch of beeps" kinda even sounds like a compliment.

So... it is 11 pages (or 10.75 pages or so) which sounds like a lot (and it is).

But before people imagine the sun and the stars will be in the update and then get upset when it's just a really good update, please know the plan for this update was always a couple of good features, a lot of clean-up to make the game feel and play better, and a lot of bug fixing.

There are some new characters coming in February, but they aren't detailed in these Release Notes.

And, as @xJazzx notes, they should be posted on Wednesday, PST. If an issue arises which would delay their posting, @EA_Jesse will let you guys know.

Thanks!

Viperish · February 3, 2016 6:46AM

Safe to say then, because these new characters are in feb but not in notes that they aren't in the next update?

Also, any update on the Q&A thread? Maybe next week? Maybe not?

Miss_Doll · February 3, 2016 6:49AM

So one hour left or one day left

SpeedWeed · February 3, 2016 6:58AM

Hopefully they will change the damage reduction to %

It would make other teams viable by making winning by turn 2 the norm If not a necessity.

Triqui · February 3, 2016 7:24AM

This sounds good.
Seems that the guys are tsking seriously the communication aspect

stupidfatfool · February 3, 2016 7:42AM

Good news so far! 11 pages...hm. Did they turn track changes off?

Thanks! Not trying to ask for everything but... Can we get some new character info soon? Please!

Skye · February 3, 2016 7:49AM

11 pages of updates sounds like a lot of bug fixes and a rather (technically) complicated arena change...

Although new tables and stuff might be interesting too... I'm waiting gleefully for the new info..

cosmicturtle333 · February 3, 2016 7:52AM

*COUGH guilds are probably coming COUGH*

*COUGH highly likely, 99% chance COUGH*

Bossk · February 3, 2016 8:17AM

And a free red data card. Thank you! _0_

@CG_JohnSalera does this mean that new characters will be added to the game with the same patch we will be reading about tomorrow? Or at another date in February?

Dammag · February 3, 2016 9:10AM

Sigh, this is why we can't have nice things. He said they MIGHT be posted tomorrow. "Hopefully". Now if it doesn't get posted tomorrow everyone's going to cry.

CronozNL · February 3, 2016 9:24AM

Great news, I knew the next update would have been big (considering the past few weeks

).
Hope to see a lot of bug fixes and hope devs will be appreciated for this work for once. Can't wait for the update and after that, I (we as community) finally can give more feedback on issues that might remain.
