The year is 2020 and CAPITAL GAMES have another exciting year of Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes planned for us! Finally back from the holidays, the devs want to briefly discuss Galactic Legends, some additional content in the next two months, and address some persistent tech problems. Check it out: Galactic Legends Shortly before the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, we unveiled a new type of character: the Galactic Legend. We know you’ve been asking when, where, what, and how, so we’re going to start pulling back the curtain. Galactic Legends will be both a new type of character and a new type of event with a very different structure than our previous entries. Over the next two months we will be gradually revealing the units required to activate the event. In March, the last batch of requirements will be revealed and later that month the events…

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes: Incoming Client Update – Journey Guide
The Journey Guide is almost here! The guys over at CAPITAL GAMES have started the initial roll out and if everything goes smoothly, tomorrow they will update everyone’s client with the new features, new characters and several quality of life changes. The Hyperdrive Bundle will be available this week and they wanted to give you a breakdown of the contents. Check out the video below for a brief overview but you’ll want to read through below to understand how the mechanics of this specific bundle works. Philosophy When we launched Galaxy of Heroes, player level 60 was considered the “end game.” Today, much of the end-game content is accessible starting at level 85. As the game has evolved, your collection is really what determines your progress in the game rather than your account level. We’ve heard from many of you in previous Dev Q&A’s that it’s important we focus on improving the new user…
Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes Developer Insights: Malevolence
This time, The developers over at Capital games are discussing the difficulties of creating the largest capital ship in the game and what strategies we should consider when utilizing the ship in battle. Q: What is the Malevolence?CG_M: Malevolence is a massive Subjugator-class heavy cruiser used by General Grievous as his flagship in Clone Wars tv show during the Malevolence arc of episodes. Right at the start of the series, the Separatists use their super weapon to terrorize the galaxy and control where the Republic can engage them. It’s built around a massive ion cannon that can disable whole fleets in a single blast. Q: Why did we bring this character to the holotables now?CG_M: We initially envisioned this ship to launch with Separatist Might but as we got closer to release, there weren’t many ships that could support it and actually make a useful fleet. We already had the…
Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes Developer Insights: Ki-Adi-Mundi
This week, They developers over at Capital games are discussing a particularly recognizable Cerean Jedi, Ki-Adi-Mundi The discussion goes about what’s going on in that big head of his and what we can expect this Jedi Master to bring to the holotables. check it out: Q: Who is Ki-Adi-Mundi?CG_M: Most people probably recognize him as the Jedi Council member who asks, “What about the droid attack on the Wookiees?” in Revenge of the Sith but this character was given a much deeper lore and history outside of the main movies. He plays a significant role in the Clone Wars TV show, as a leader and mentor, and proves himself far more level headed than the rest of the Jedi by advising caution and reason in most dangerous circumstances. Besides being a Jedi Council master, Ki-Adi-Mundi is known to be one of the top swordsman of the order and is incredibly skilled with…
Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes: The Road Ahead – 11/20/2019

DISCLAIMER: ALL DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. Daily Login Character for November: Royal Guard Royal guard? thats weird in the middle of the transition from Episode 2-3 content to 8-9…. some event related with the emperors shuttle maybe? They had Emperor’s shuttle in the $20 pack they had in the store the last day or two. I’m not sure what kind of an event would require palps shuttle though… at least, not with the current content roll they’re on (as you acknowledged). I do anticipate a sith capital ship helmed by malak or nihlius to drop at some point, but… with kenobi just hitting the arena now and malevolence presumably on the way, that sounds weird to me. Anyways. Here it…

This time they are talking with the designers of General Skywalker and how they went about creating this iconic character from the Star Wars universe.

Does he have any unique mechanics?CG_Prophet: Absolutely, Anakin Skywalker has been many things over the years; pod racer, droid builder, Jedi Padawan and even a legendary pilot, and now he’s coming to Galaxy of Heroes this week as General of the 501st! I’m super excited for him to finally come to the game. CG_ParkingInstructor: General Skywalker is unlike any other character players can get their hands in the game right now. He is an absolute boss, as he should be, and by that I mean he actually feels like playing a raid boss character in Galaxy of Heroes. He takes 2 actions per turn (like a raid boss)…

Mark has been working in the gaming industry for many years and brings his expertise as a veteran producer to Capital Games. He’s not a new face around the studio as he was previously working on Capital Games’ next project. Here is an inteview: You recently became the Senior Producer for SWGOH, tell us a bit about yourself!MD – Well, that’s a big question. I’m a gaming industry veteran and earned my first video game paycheck back in 1987. That was actually working as an independent developer on a science fiction role playing game (Hard Nova) that was published by EA. Since then, I’ve worked for a number of video game companies including 3DO, LucasArts, & Telltale. It may sound like a cliche, but I am extremely passionate about video games – both developing &…

There will be an official announcement in the next couple weeks regarding if we will take a short break from GAC or ready resume right away. I think Padme and Malak will both be sometime in August as well. They just didn’t want to put it on the calendar to give folks time to prepare. Basically, the event calendar is useless. They won’t be giving us information for anything worthwhile in advance. They will do the same thing with Malak that they did last time, 1 day or warning and…

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes Anti-Cheating & Competitive Integrity
In preparation for the introduction of the upcomming Grand Arena Championships in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heries, Capital is intensifying there efforts to root out and prevent cheating in competitive play. These efforts include: Increased surveillance of leaderboard and battle data A zero tolerance policy for those identified as cheaters (the default action will be a perma-ban for any account found with cheated / hacked data) A new suite of data points and detection tools While we still put player reports to good use (send any suspect behavior reports directly to CG_Leviathan) we are excited about some new options at our disposal for finding illegitimate battles (possibly even before you’ve had a chance to report them). Additional team member hours allocated to the detection and eradication efforts We are focused on creating a fair and fun environment for competitive play and wherever possible, we will attempt to rectify any impact to…
Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes: The Grand Arena Championships
Here are the news from Capital Games on the Grand Arena Championships. No one still have a clue what it is about, ot at least what the GP divisions is about, but Wall of text will crit you. Grand Arena Championships are a five-week series of Grand Arena events and Feats. Our goal is for the experience to feel like a normal Grand Arena event with a few bells and whistles, and then gradually ratchet up the competition and drive for the players who make it up to higher leagues in later events, until by the end of a Championship, it feels like the sharpest competition that the game has to offer. In this post, we’re going to talk about GP Divisions, a feature that enables us to curate the best experience (AND relevant rewards) for all Grand Arena players regardless of their time in game or collection size.

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes: update on Anakin’s performance
The Community Manager over at Star Wars: Galaxy of hereoes posted a small update on Anakin’s performance in the game. Some players think he is way to powerfull. Here is the news: April 25, 2019 6:14PM edited April 25 “Your focus determines your reality.” Hey Holotable Heroes, I wanted to give a quick update on our announcement last Friday that we were looking into Anakin’s performance and whether or not he is too powerful, particularly where we want him to sit in the meta versus some specific teams like Darth Malak/Darth Revan. Our initial investigation has yielded the following results: Since we released Jedi Knight Anakin’s rework, only 8,000 players have used Jedi Knight Anakin under a Jedi Knight Revan lead to fight against Darth Revan & Darth Malak. That represents less than 1% of the total battles fought by the entire community during this window. Of these battles, JKA is…

Here is a list of some of the upcoming events for April.DISCLAIMER: ALL DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. Daily Login Character for April: B2 Super Battledroid Tinfoil hat time: the return of JKR seems a bit quick. What if, perhaps, they’re using it to hide a legendary event for Malak? No CLS is also really odd. I would’ve bet the house we’d see that. Maybe it’ll overlap with the Daring Droid event like it did last time.
Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes: Update on zFinn Changes Coming Next Update
Capital games are finally ready to launch the changes to zFinn in the next game update. Check it out: Previously, I mentioned that we found some additional issues since Tophat’s last post around zFinn’s kit and that we would need to take another pass to fix the infinite loop in Phase 3 of the Sith Raid with zFinn and C-3PO. We had shared a possible solution earlier, but while the changes TopHat discussed prevented infinite loops in Phase 3, in further testing we realized we inadvertently added a new trivializing loop to Phase 1, so we have made some additional changes from the reworked kit you originally saw here. In order to address the Phase 1 problem, we needed to make more extensive changes, which we feel impacted Finn’s core identity. For that reason, we will be refunding the materials spent to upgrade his leader ability. Whatever you personally invested…
