Greetings,

Here are the update notes for today.

These packs will only be available until July 11th.
For the next 7 days you can now refresh the Shard Shop with CRYSTALS. During this time you can purchase exclusive Raid Gear in addition to General Grievous and random character shards. This Event ends on July 11th.
A new Booster Pack is available during each Grand Master Yoda event, the Jedi Order Bundle. This bundle is priced at $59.99 US dollars and includes:

Pass the summer days with the 2 Day Double Drop Event! For July 6th and 7th, rewards will be doubled (excluding XP, Crystals and First time rewards) for all Cantina Battles!

Bugs

The Grandmaster's Training event has been reset to its initial value of each 2nd Thursday in a given month. This change is to return the event to its initial values, following the cancellation of the Force Champions events.
Fixed a bug where Talia's Water of Life ability does not drain health from the caster when this ability is a mission-specific ability
Fixed a bug where Luminara's Master Healer's Blessing is not healing the user's squad when used as a mission-specific ability
Fixed a bug where General Grievous’ lightsaber slightly ignites the air after performing his special ability on specific backgrounds
Fixed a bug where units with active foresight buff can dodge all extra attacks from Chief Chirpa's Tribal Unity ability
Kamino Landing Platform ground texture has been udpated
Messaging on the "Defeat" screen has been updated to be less repetitive
Fix an issue with hero descriptions being cut off in the "Borrow a Hero" screen
Fixed an issue with the Sim Tickets number overlapping the energy icon
IG-88's "Rapid Fire" ability block now retains the Ability Block icon for 2 turns
Fixed an issue with the Merit Token quantity overlapping the Close button
Fixed an issue with the cost for changing the player name not fitting in the Confirm button
Fixed an issue with the Training Droids and Ability materials being displayed in a higher brightness state
Fixed an issue in several localizations where text was being overlapped by badging in the Store

Bariss Offee can only be found for purchase through data card packs. She's a Jedi in a long blue dress. She has very high hitpoints and a great team healing ability.

Actually though Bariss shard can be farm on dark side hard mission 5-E and 5-C, but its gonna take a month or 2 to collect all 80. i think the developer nerf the shard drop since global release because i only got 3 shard for the last 3 days.

Don't think so, it's always been very low. Took me more than 2 months for 50 shards of Dokuu (still missing one last shard...)

Looking at the fundamental change made to GW I have to ask, is this still the Beta? Because I would think that as game developers they should have tried to reason out playing strategies during development, and then watched for any unintended overly effective strategies during the beta. That should be one of the goals of the beta, to identify areas that aren't playing as intended. So either this is still the beta or they are just realizing that their base players are much better gamers than they or their beta testers are.

And for those amongst us that like to use the people feel like they should be entitled to things argument, you really to get better logical arguments. People aren't complaining because they feel entitled to win, they are complaining because they feel entitled to fair treatment. What CG has done is the equivalent to a five year old throwing a tantrum. They have basically stated that the players were too good playing the way they set up the game, so they are changing the rules so we don't win as much. As someone who did spend money on this game and then allocated those limited paid for resources to be the most effective within the parameters the devs setup, to then have those parameters changed leaves me feeling cheated. Not that I had my entitlement taken away. I didn't always beat GW because I was still building my roster, but now a lot of those choices have been made into bad ones, even though I paid for some of them.

Yes, this is the beta. You can tell by the build number. It should be 1.0 or higher. Instead its 0.2 something.

The change is necessary. Beta or not..every game changed after they think it is necessary.

*Retreat have been abuse by player (make challenge not as intense)
*Force close the app - they need this fix aswell.

I think this update would balance the game since I getting 1200War Token from 12battles each time was piece of cake. Im sure alot of folks think that too. Atleast for me i won 23times consecutive from lv51-60.

You might not able to get 1200war token but 800 token is possible. That is equivalent to 30shards,
