Good one, my friend.

1) Do leader abilities affect both you and your opponent since both skills are displayed at the begging of a match? (I see the visual que but it plays as though both teams do at times)

2) Will dodge, evasion along with any other stat increase outside of a characters normal stats ever be displayed?

3) Is gear and ability mats set to the same percent drop rate on all maps?

And follow up

I noticed on some maps under rewards you will see different material orders for the mki, ii and iii ability mats does this indicate a higher drop chance or just a random display?

Last question: Can we get a Yoda teaser?

ive asked before but i just wanna make sure it wont be forgotten.

how are stats calculated, armor = X but we have nothing to compare this value too. will they add an armor = x = % damage reduction?

will they add visable damage ranges to abilities? smite blah blah blah 100-200 damage to all enemies
this will help alot when trying to decide which characters i might want to focus on. instead of trying to work on abilities and synergies soley and then finding out someones damage modifiers are terribly low (biggs)

alot of characters descriptions dont seem to fit, for example old ben states the ability to self revive, aayala says something about dodging, though they both have no passive skill that pertains to these. are these errors from an alpha build? can they be fixed? seems like an easy fix on that one.

speaking of dodge. everyones dodge rating is 0. whats up with that?

some items have HP drain or absorb, cant remember the exact name, im guessing this is for abilities such as aayalas special, but i feel like i have to throw common sense out the door sometimes with this game. can they confirm what this does, if anything?

are buffs multiplicative and passive skills additive?

speaking of buffs, why's the defense up buff always a flat +X amount and offense given as a +% amount
what does this compose of. is everything pertaining to defense/offense being raised (dodge, resistance, tenacity/ potency, crit, physical damage, special damage) or is it just a flat damage reduction modifier and flat % damage increase.

The shard shop - will this take up one of the the grey'd out areas on the board or will there be a new area added? i ask this because if it takes up a current spot that might mean less future content.

last few questions - is there any sort of loss time table at which we will get game updates, or a schedule at which has been predetermined for new content to be released(ship battles, guild plans etc) ? if so could this be released to the player base. i can understand the need for tight lips on exact dates but giving your player base at least an open ended timeframe will put minds to ease and soothe the community. it seeemd alot of people were really hoping for new content or characters durring the level cap increase and were pretty let down.
thanks

Will ally points ever be given to allies as is stated on the screen?

Target jumping.... Can it be stopped?

Thanks for the forum and an awesome game!

Cool, a Q&A thread! You developer guys and gals are brave! So here's my question.

What's the math behind dodging? All characters are currently listed as having 0% dodge rate on their stats screen. But for instance Sid and IG-88 (iirc) are described as good natural dodgers. And characters do evade more than 0%.

Savage Oppress is described as a"sith tank" in his character description but isn't allowed in the challenges for tanks only.

Oversight?

hi @Rogan_Ban84 i'm surprised it hasn't come up yet, as there haven't been any official response other than that they're aware it's a common topic right now (on reddit)

Hopefully devs clear the nerf issue tho sooner than later, so people can relax. Hopefully, the devs don't turn to the dark side on this and drop the ball.

Will there ever be a change to the way arena squads works? The addition of a defensive squad and or options on what the ai should do on your behalf. ie: What ability should a character use first or at what point should a healer try to heal.

Are ships actually in development or have hey been scrapped? If they are coming can you provide any information on how they will work with synergistic characters like Biggs (i.e. Should I gear and star Biggs up in anticipation or will that not matter?)

Will you ever buff Nightsisters to their well deserved glory?
