Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes: Update on Droideka in Phase 3 of the Sith Triumvirate Raid

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes Update on Droideka in Phase 3 of the Sith Triumvirate Raid

Capital games is fixing a newely found bug in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes resulting in Droidekas dealing huge amounts of damage in Phase 3 of the Sith Triumvirate Raid . Here is the news: We became aware last Friday that Droideka was dealing huge amounts of damage in Phase 3 of the Sith Triumvirate Raid and said we would follow up this week when we have time to fully investigate. It appears that when a unit uses Stand Alone, instead of setting allies’ speed to 0, Traya is actually setting it to something closer to -900,000. This means when a Separatist ally uses Stand Alone while Droideka has Damage Immunity, it has a 35% Chance to assist, and will deal a ton of damage as Droideka’s Attack Damage is based on the difference in speed. Droideka is also assisting before the debuff that prevents assists as the assist activates the moment…

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes: Marquee Merchandising Changes

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes Marquee Merchandising Changes

Over the past 2 years, the devs over at Capital games have released many Marquee Characters without re-evaluating the way shards are acquired via the pack and bundle. As it was discussed in the Road Ahead post a few days back, they have been evaluating the release method of these characters, starting with the Emperor’s Shuttle that launched this week. And now starting with the launch of the Droideka, while they are launching it in the classic Marquee style, the devs are changing the traditional bundle to include crystals and adding a new mega pack that will allow players to increase Droideka’s star rarity with fewer crystals compared to the standard marquee, akin to other mega packs. Below are the changes: Marquee Bundle Bundle price will be changed from $9.99 to $19.99 (USD) All Marquee Bundle items/currencies remain the same 1350 Crystals will be added to the bundle This is…

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes – Road Ahead 1/31/2019

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes - Road Ahead 2019

Here is the road map for Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. Contrary to BioWare, Capital Games seems to have big plans for their Star Wars game this comming year. Check it out: After an exciting end of the year with the release of Grand Arena, C3PO, and Han’s Millennium Falcon, the Capital Games offices are bustling again with plans for the upcoming quarters. We’ve spent much of the past few months focusing on the roadmap, including a bold and somewhat audacious five-year vision, but as always, I’m here to talk a little bit about the next couple of months.When we sit down to plan the next year’s roadmap, one of the key things that we focus on is learnings from the previous one. Since so much of the core of the game is collecting and strategizing with the iconic characters and ships from the Star Wars universe, we are constantly…

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes: C-3PO, Finn, and Phase 3 of the Sith Raid

There is currently a bug in phase 3 of the Sith Raid with Finn and C-3PO. The developers are gonna fix it next year when they figure out whether Finn lead or Traya tenacity is the thing to change: It’s come to our attention that there is an unintended strategy/interaction involving Finn(Leader – Zeta), C-3PO, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and BB-8 that allows players to auto Phase 3 of the Sith Triumvirate (Heroic). As we’ve indicated in previous updates, “when we discover an infinite loop that allows players to trivialize end game content, we try to act as swiftly as possible.” Learning from the issues with our Critolyte fix, we’re going to wait until the new year before we address this issue. We want to make sure we have the time to work through all ramifications of this change before we put it into the game. C-3PO was an interesting character to…

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes: Jedi Knight Revan Kit Reveal

Capital Games usually post kit reveals before now, but given the importance of this character, they wanted to make sure he was done right – rather than committing too early and then changing his kit. They apologize for the delay – as they know we’re all excited about it – but they wanted ensure our Jedi Knight Revan lives up to that excitement. The team has been working hard over the last few days (and months, really) on Jedi Knight Revan and are excited to share his Kit Reveal over in the Arena and Character Strategy Section. They are planning to release the Ancient Journey for the Legend of the Old Republic this week. We’re pretty confident the event will be ready by the 18th – but there is always a chance with something coming in this hot that they may not finish in time. We will update you if there…

Concept Art for Revan: The Legend, the Hero, the Cash-grabber, the Whale-friend.

Last Friday the Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes developers revealed that Jedi Knight Revan will be joining the Holotable. Here is a behind the scenes look a few SWGOH developers share the process of how we created Jedi Knight Revan – a character you may have played embodied in Star Wars™: Knights of the Old Republic (KotOR) DESIGN INTENT – CG_TopHat (Live Producer) Revan is one of the characters most often requested by players, so this was definitely an exciting but also serious challenge for the team. The most important thing about developing Jedi Knight Revan is to make a character that lives up to the idea of who the character was to fans of KotOR. As KotOR enthusiasts know, in the classic game, players could make decisions over the course of KotOR that resulted in their version of Revan becoming a Jedi Knight. How do we capture that feeling? How do…

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes: Upcoming Sith Raid Changes

The team over at Star Wars: Galaxy of heroes are making some changes to the Sith Raid. All very good changes to the Sith and Tank raids. Actually, it seems like Tier 6 will end up getting best changes for players. Favorable changes on DN and Traya’s kits and mod salvage will be available in that tier. Not to mention reducing the health pools for all the bosses. I would be a little disappointed in that if not for the fact that I have a 7 star Traya now so the Sith raid isn’t quite as important to me, outside of the g12+ salvage, but that is going to be a grind to craft full pieces (as it should be). Upcoming Sith Raid Changes Check it out below: Hi Holotable Heroes, Two weeks ago I mentioned that we were getting ready to reveal some changes coming to the Sith Raid based…
