[FIXED] Issue - Jar Jar Event - Shield Generator
Hello Folks, The team is aware of and looking into an issue with the Jar Jar Event where the Shield Generator has less stacks of plasma than it should. EDIT NOTE: Taught the Gungan Shield Generator how to count. It should now correctly gain +10 Plasma Shield in the Bombad General Jar Jar Binks event (and description updated to match). Note: The previous event worked this way, this fix is to make it align with its previous function
An update on the forums.
The new EA forums soft launch has been active for 5 weeks now and we’ve had a massive amount of feedback. We want to say thank you to everyone for your posts, reports, comments and examples. It’s early days for the forum and we’re a long way from our final form, and all of this feedback is invaluable in getting to where we want to be. To that end, we wanted to drop an update on the various issues you’ve been reporting. There’s a good amount of stuff here, but the list isn’t exhaustive. If you feel something critical has been missed, please feel free to ask in the replies Core reported issues Site Performance: In recent weeks we’ve seen site performance is not consistently at the level it should be. Sometimes pages wouldn’t load, errors like “community not found” and “internal server error” would appear, or folks couldn’t log in. We’ve been working behind the scenes to identify what’s been happening, and we believe one of the main causes of this has been found and addressed this week. As ever, if you are encountering such issues, please let us know. Random Redirects / Misdirection: A notable number of folks are encountering an issue where you try to go to a post, only to be redirected to a random post. We are still investigating at priority. As it's related to caching, we want to highlight a workaround. You can fix any currently corrupted links by clearing your browser cache. We have detailed steps for doing so here. 🙏/praying that the link works. Logouts: We know folks are getting logged out at inopportune times. This is not our intention, an active user should not be getting logged out. It’s being worked on, we know how frustrating it can be to prepare a post only to lose it. If this does happen, in most cases you should be able to return to the same place and try to compose the post again, and the draft should be saved. Posts & edits failing: We know that in some cases posts or edits will fail to process for unclear reasons. We’ve identified a number of issues related to this, and are working to fix them. In the meantime if you see this, please post about it here, we’ll work to identify the issue and find a way to get your post/edit up. Reply sorting and navigating large threads: Many of you have been very clear that the current default of sorting by likes is not ok, and we agree. We have plans to expand defaults and allow more customization of your default thread view. We also agree with the sentiment that too few posts load at a time, requiring frequently clicking “Show More” which makes large threads difficult to navigate. As this will require code changes, addressing this will take a while, but we want to reiterate that this has a very high priority for us. If you’re interested, you can read a little more of our thoughts in these threads:Thread Display, Seeing Replies Other requests and updates. Pages: We know many of you have asked about pagination for improved navigation. Both for viewing larger threads but also for browsing the list of threads in boards. We wanted to acknowledge this. While we don't have any updates on thread view yet, we wanted to highlight something for the board view. When you click on the “posts” counter under a board title, it’ll bring you to a version of a paged forum layout. It doesn’t have “jump to page X” functionality, but it could be helpful for folks who prefer to navigate this way. You can also filter this view by tags if you want to focus on specifics. Dark mode: We know you guys want a dark mode, and we want one too. It’s an important roadmap item for the future, though we don’t have a set date. Inconsistency with first posts and replies: We know that replies don’t have the same suite of tools that the main posts have, and we’re looking to expand what replies can do. We have no specifics today, but hopefully will have an update soon on tool expansion. Tag search on mobile: Mobile users, we know that the +tag button is giving unexpected (and potentially unpleasant) behavior, we’re working to get this fixed ASAP. Show threads you’ve read: Flagging already-read posts has been requested and we agree, it’s on our wish list/roadmap. Jump to unread: Similarly, the behavior to interact with unread posts needs to be improved. Once again particularly important for navigating larger threads. Avatars: Many of you are asking for more Avatar customisation options. We hear you, and we do have concrete plans here. In the meantime we’ve added a bunch more avatars to the selection, with a focus on Sims. New tags and forums: We have already implemented some of the requested tags and tweaks. You will for example see a lot more tags in most of the Sims forums. We also have added several additional forums in line with your feedback. Please keep it coming. We might not be able to implement everything, but we welcome all of the feedback and requests. Side content display: We’ve had feedback on what’s displayed in the side content, keep it coming. As with other new features, we are experimenting here and will keep making changes. As an example, we recently added the new “Found a bug? Check if it’s new” widget! If you see a bug, you can enter a keyword to find similar bug reports that were posted already. Post rate limiter: Some folks found themselves temporarily locked down from posting because the system determined they had posted too frequently or recently. The rate at which real humans encountered this was way too frequent. We have eased the parameters on this, and folks shouldn’t feel the sting of this as much. Spam filter: Some folks also found posts disappearing due to our spam filter thinking their perfectly benign post was naughty. We made some tweaks as this is a bit less strict now, while still catching bots and bad actors. If you still get caught, it’s most likely due to an external link. We review these auto-moderation actions frequently and will release your post ASAP. Inserting YouTube videos: Some folks couldn’t use the tools to add YouTube videos to their posts. We identified what was going wrong here and everyone should be able to post now. Thanks for flagging that to us! Thanks for reading this, and again for your feedback for the past few weeks. There’s still a long way to go in this Soft Launch journey, and we want to thank everyone for bearing with us as we work through these teething problems. As a reminder, the list isn’t exhaustive, but if there’s anything you want to add that has already been reported, please do so in the comments. If it's something new, please open a new thread here.Kit Reveal - Ezra Captain on the Bridger (Exile)
UNIT NAME: Ezra Bridger (Exile) ALIGNMENT: Light Side CATEGORIES: Jedi, Spectre, Support ------ Key Attributes: Galactic Legend Ahsoka Tano’s Conquest Lifter Introduces Exile debuff and Spectre tag Brings more control to Jedi squads Inspiration: Every aspect of his kit takes something from his appearance on the Disney+ Ahsoka show. Kanan’s Legacy is a callback to Kanan’s (spoiler) ultimate sacrifice at the end of the Rebels tv show and the twin pieces of their lightsabers. The debuff Exile is similar to Isolate and perfectly captures the state we find Ezra in the years following his final appearance on Rebels. Strategy Tips: Ezra’s first unique, Exile, provides any Spectre allies defensive bonuses when they are Exiled, including Health, Protection, and Defense. When Exile is removed they gain offensive bonuses like Critical Damage, Offense, and Potency. Ezra’s second unique, The Force Is My Ally, introduces a new status effect unique to Ezra called Purrgil Migration. This status effect provides Ezra even more defensive bonuses and, when he reaches 50 stacks, will give him a bonus turn and a way to transfer the Exile debuff on himself onto an enemy for the rest of the battle. Ezra gains stacks of Purrgil Migration through using abilities and dealing damage, gaining extra Purrgil Migration if the attack was a critical hit. As Ezra is an Agility Support, one idea we played around with was this idea of critical hits as utility. This can be seen through critical hits accelerating Purrgil Migration stacks, the Stun on Daring Advance if he crits 3 times, and the Foresight and Stagger crit trigger in Fugitive’s Defense. While Ezra’s forever home will be with GL Ahsoka, he still performs well on other teams like Starkiller and Jedi squads. FAQ: How do I acquire Ezra Bridger (Exile)? First, you need to locate a Nightsister artifact that will give you directions to the other galaxy that Ezra has been exiled to. Then, if you don’t have the capability of hyperspacing there on your own, you will need to go inside the mouth of a migrating Purgil, and have them take you to the planet of Peridea, where Ezra can eventually be found. An easier method will be to acquire him via the next set of Conquests starting on September 2nd. What is the Spectre tag referring to? The crew of the Ghost (and by extension Ahsoka Tano) were code-named Spectres on their missions. We thought this was a nice nod to tie all these characters together under a unified tag to make sure they had synergy without having to do specific-named callouts in abilities. What is the difference between Isolate and Exile? You can think of Exile as a one-sided Isolate. A character who is Isolated can’t interact with any allies at any time. A character who is Exiled can interact with allies during their turn, but can’t benefit from buffs, heals, turn meter gains, or any of the other things you can’t do with Isolate when it’s not their turn. Will Ezra be unlockable before Galactic Legend Ahsoka Tano is released? Yes Is Ezra required to unlock GL Ahsoka? No :) From the Ezra Bridger (Exile) Designer: CG_Mithicoron: It’s been an absolute blast working on this version of Ezra. Not only was he awesome in the Ahsoka show, his development provided an interesting challenge bringing together who Ezra was after Season 3 of Rebels all the way to where we find him on Peredia. Additionally, much like Boushh teased and debuted some upcoming Jabba mechanics, Ezra gets to do this with Exile. Exile was a particularly interesting challenge I played around with a lot of different ideas for this kit, and ultimately settled on three themes - Critical hits as utility - Mechanical callouts to his old kit and Kanan’s - His connection to the Purrgil who helped him secure a victory on his home planet of Lothal Ezra’s kit is also packed with nods to the Phoenix team, like Backup Plan, but that’s not the only mechanic that mirrors familiar Phoenix characters. See if you can find them all! Ezra Question Submission Link ------ ABILITIES: BASIC: Fugitive's Defense Final Text: Deal Physical damage to target Enemy and inflict Speed Down on them for 3 turns.

UNIQUE 1: Exile (Zeta, Omicron) Final Text: At the start of battle, all Light Side allies gain Foresight for 2 turns, all Spectre allies gain Tenacity Up for 2 turns, and Ezra Bridger (Exile) is Exiled for the rest of battle, which can't be copied, dispelled, or resisted.

Hello Holotable Heroes, We have updated our process for you to submit a cheater or to appeal a ban. To submit a potential cheater, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/SDaJmjYy1is2M8Rn7 To appeal a ban, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/BdaiA13JqiaZGDPbA Submitting a person as a potential cheater does not mean they will get banned automatically. We will investigate the account and act accordingly. For Privacy reasons no notification will be sent to tell you if any action has been taken. Appealing your ban does not mean you will be unbanned. You will not be informed on any decision we make. Bans issued under the previous cheater investigation system will not be investigated. We understand cheaters ruin the fun of any video game and it’s frustrating to see that happen here. Under the previous system to address cheating in SWGoH, we banned more than 4,000 cheaters and we anticipate actioning on more with your help. We are aware that people will go to extreme lengths to cheat at a Video Game (Sounds weird saying that, but those people do exist). We take fairness seriously and we will not tolerate cheating in SWGoH. With your help we hope to remove bad actors that negatively impact players experiences and deter others who may be tempted to. We look forward to continuing to make SWGOH a place you enjoy. Thank you for your continued support, see you on the Holotable! -SWGOH Dev TeamKit Reveal - Shin Hati
UNIT NAME: Shin Hati ALIGNMENT: Dark Side CATEGORIES: Attacker, Mercenary, Unaligned Force User ------ Key Attributes: A lightsaber combatant who ignores Taunt to attack her enemies. Introduces the new Soldier of Fortune effect for the Mercenary faction. This is a stacking blue status effect that does nothing on its own, but on reaching a threshold, abilities will have various effects added. Inspiration: We loved everything about Shin Hati when she showed up in Ahsoka. A practiced lightsaber user who has a bevy of tricks, using the Force and otherwise. What’s not to love? We’ve been eyeballing a Mercenary tag for a while now. With Baylan and company coming on the scene we took it as an opportunity to add the tag, and the Soldier of Fortune mechanic as a whole. We loved the moment where she escapes her battle with Sabine Wren with a well timed smoke bomb, so that ended up as her ability Clean Escape. Strategy Tips: Maintain her Critical Chance and avoid Shin Hati getting critically hit so as to gain more stacks of Soldier of Fortune. Attack Stunned enemies with a higher number of stacks of Soldier of Fortune on Shin Hati. Her granted ability Clean Escape helps all Mercenary allies gain additional effects and inflicts debuffs on enemies based on her Soldier of Fortune stacks. FAQ: How do I acquire Shin Hati? Shin Hati’s Marquee event begins September 19th in-game. How does the new Mercenary faction tag affect previous characters? See our forum post introducing Mercenaries for a step by step guide on how the mechanics work with both new and older characters. Will Shin Hati be required to get Baylan Skoll? Yes, at Relic 7 Will Shin Hati be required to unlock GL Ahsoka? No. In Shin Hati’s Omicron it says “Target Light Side enemy's cooldowns are increased to their max value,” what does that mean? Light Side enemies will have their cooldown set to the maximum limit as prescribed in their kit (eg, BB-8’s Illuminated Destiny would be set to 70). From the Shin Hati Designer: CG_Vib’X: Shin Hati, and her master Baylan Skoll, are self-sufficient mercenaries we first see in the Ahsoka show. Their seamless coordination and prowess in every mission is reflected in Shin Hati's design kit. Alongside them is Marrok, whose support amplifies Shin Hati's effectiveness. Shin Hati’s character is defined by her grace in combat and her lightsaber skills combined with the use of the Force. These attributes are central to her design as an Agility attacker in our game. Her kit reflects the careful consideration of her quick wittedness, capturing her ability to escape from perilous situations with ease. We hope that you find your adventures with her to be as exhilarating as the journey we see her take on-screen SHIN HATI QUESTION SUBMISSION LINK ABILITIES: BASIC: Fierce Foray Final Text: Deal Physical damage to target enemy and inflict Critical Chance Down for 1 turn. If Shin Hati has 10 or more stacks of Soldier of Fortune, she inflicts Critical Chance Down on all enemies for 1 turn instead. During Shin Hati's turn, call target other Mercenary ally to assist.

Unlocks Tier 2) Final Text: Deal Physical damage to all enemies and inflict them with Offense Down and Vulnerable for 2 turns on all enemies.

If Shin Hati has 10 or more stacks of Soldier of Fortune, she gains 25% Turn Meter and increase the cooldowns of all enemies by 1. SPECIAL 2: We'll Take It From Here(Cooldown 3. Unlocks Tier 4) Final Text: Deal Physical damage to target enemy and Stun them for 1 turn. Shin Hati gains Critical Damage Up and Riposte for 2 turns. If Shin Hati has 15 or more stacks of Soldier of Fortune, attack again, always scoring a critical hit if able and decreases the cooldown of Clean Escape by 1. If target enemy is inflicted with Purge, Shin Hati inflicts Buff Immunity on them for 2 turns and deals 10% bonus damage for each stack of Purge they have (stacking, max 60%). UNIQUE 1: You Have No Power(Zeta, Omicron. Unlocks Tier 6) Final Text: At the start of each encounter, Shin Hati gains 25% Accuracy and 50% Offense until the end of the encounter, and she ignores Taunt effects during her turn. Whenever Shin Hati is critically hit, she gains Retribution for 2 turns and 150 Speed for 1 turn. The first time Shin Hati gains 10 or more stacks of Soldier of Fortune, she gains the granted ability Clean Escape for the rest of the battle; if Soldier of Fortune stacks are below 10, Clean Escape ability can't be used. While in Territory Wars and all allies are Mercenary or non-Galactic Legend Unaligned Force User: At the start of encounter, Shin Hati gains 75% Accuracy and 30 Speed, all allies gain 50% Max Health and Max Protection until the first time Shin Hati is defeated, and all Light side enemies are immune to cooldown reduction for 2 turns or until the first time Shin Hati is defeated. While enemies are inflicted with Purge they have -50% Critical Damage and -30 Speed. Whenever enemies attack 3 times out of turn, Shin Hati gains 1 stack of Soldier of Fortune. Whenever Shin Hati gains Riposte and has 15 or more stacks of Soldier of Fortune the cooldown of Clean Escape is decreased by 3. Whenever a Light Side enemy gains Damage Immunity, they are inflicted with Fear for 1 turn, which can't be resisted and Shin Hati gains a bonus turn. Additionally, Clean Escape has these effects based on number of Shin Hati's stacks of Soldier of Fortune: 20+ stacks: All Mercenary allies are revived 35+ stacks: Shin Hati increases cooldowns of Light Side target enemy to their max value UNIQUE 2: Soldier of Fortune - Shin Hati Final Text: At the start of battle, Shin Hati gains 1 stack of Soldier of Fortune per Relic Amplifier level she has until the end of battle.

Shin Hati removes 100% Turn Meter, and Dazes all enemies for 2 turns, which can't be resisted.Kit Reveal - Great Mothers
UNIT NAME: Great Mothers ALIGNMENT: Dark Side CATEGORIES: Nightsister, Dark Side, Support, Leader ------ Key Attributes: Great Mothers is an Elite marquee, a rare type of unit that has more power than a typical marquee but at the same accessibility Leader for a second Nightsister squad (My new favorite NS Squad - Meathead) Introducing two new effects; Blessed for an ally and Doomed for an enemy Second large unit to come to SWGOH Inspiration: These three characters are always seen on screen with one another and all of their abilities seem to involve all of them working together, so it didn’t make much sense to have you collect each Great Mother individually. In order to support having “three-in-one” with the Great Mothers, we were lucky to have preestablished the Large Unit tech with Jabba the Hutt, so they didn’t have to be all mashed up together in order to fit on the battlefield. The names of the Great Mothers are Klothow, Aktropaw, and Lakesis, and they are very much based on the Greek Fates. The Fates would spin a thread of a person’s life and manipulate events by manipulating the thread, eventually cutting it at the end of that person’s life. This is represented on the hoods the Great Mothers wear. Lakesis’ simple hood represents the thread itself, Klothow’s conical hood symbolizes the spool of thread the person’s fate is drawn from, and finally Aktropaw’s two points represents the Fate’s shear’s performing the final cut ending someone’s life. This entire concept and symbolism was used in designing the Doomed and Blessed conditions via Fate Weaving and Gift of Shadows. Strategy Tips: In Territory Wars, Blessed stops instant defeat effects which makes it valuable against enemies such as Jedi Master Kenobi with Commander Ahsoka Doomed enemies lose their Protection, making Great Mothers excellent against teams with a lot of Protection and Protection recovery Blessed allies can target Doomed enemies so you can quickly defeat weak enemies without worrying about Taunt Blessing your Attackers is generally the way to go because of the assists and Offense buffs, but blessing Morgan Elsbeth can be valuable in some situations because her Basic ability is extremely powerful, and the ability to ignore Taunt and use her Special 2 on a Doomed enemy can be game-winning. FAQ: What is an elite marquee? This is a rare type of event that signifies a unit with more power than a typical marquee but at the same accessibility. The power-level is closer to a Journey Guide unit than your typical marquee character. What is a large unit? Like Jabba, large characters can't be used in the ally slot or with another large character and summons are prevented for allies. How do I acquire Great Mothers? Marquee starting at 11a Pacific on September 5th. This uses the new Marquee structure. Do Great Mothers have a bespoke datacron? Of course, we can’t help ourselves when it comes to Nightsisters :) It will be rewarded in the 7* tier of their marquee event. Is Great Mothers required for Baylan Skoll? Yes, at relic 7 Why did you spell it Majik instead of Magick like the other Nightsisters? The Nightsisters of Peridea’s abilities are slightly different than that of the Dathomiri, and this is represented by the altered spelling of their connection to the Force. From the Great Mothers Designer: CG_Ant: Designing the Great Mothers was a really fun challenge, especially since I wanted each mother to be properly showcased in the kit. I ultimately settled on having 2 powerful granted abilities in addition to their Special ability, which inflicts an enemy with Doomed and grants a Nightsister ally with Blessed. Blessed was inspired by the scene in Ahsoka where Klothow bestowed Morgan Elsbeth with the Gift of Shadow. In the game, this translates to giving a Nightsister ally of your choosing a myriad of buffs. This lasts until they’ve served their purpose, either by winning the fight or by being defeated. Doomed was inspired by the Great Mother’s resemblance to the Fates in Greek mythology. In Greek mythology, once a person’s thread has been cut, they’re doomed to die. There’s nothing you can do to change their destiny, even if you defeat the Great Mothers. In SWGoH, Doomed enemies will have their Max Health reduced over time, until it’s reduced to 1 Max Health. Combined, these 2 effects make the Great Mothers very powerful since they can dictate the destinies of everyone in the battle. Each battle will unfold differently depending on who you choose to Doom and Bless. I hope you all have fun playing with the Great Mothers, as I did designing them! Great Mothers Question Submission Link ABILITIES: BASIC: Energy Threads (Zeta) Final Text: Deal Special damage to target enemy. If the target enemy was Doomed, inflict Tenacity Down for 2 turns and they lose 20% Max Health (stacking) until the end of the encounter, which can't be evaded or resisted. Otherwise, inflict Ability Block and Speed Down for 2 turns. Blessed allies gain Foresight for 2 turns, and non-Tank Blessed allies gain Stealth for 1 turn. SPECIAL 1: Majik Storm (Zeta, Cooldown 3) Final Text: If the enemy Leader is Light Side, dispel all debuffs on all Nightsister allies. Dispel all buffs from all enemies and Doomed enemies are inflicted with Vulnerable for 2 turns. Deal Special damage 3 times to all enemies. If this attack defeats an enemy, all Nightsister allies gain Defense Penetration Up for 2 turns. UNIQUE 1: To The Old Ways (Omicron) Final Text: Nightsister allies gain 30% Accuracy, Max Health, and Tenacity, but can't be revived. This effect persists through defeat. At the start of each encounter and whenever an Attacker Nightsister ally or Great Mothers is critically hit, Attacker Nightsister allies gain Foresight and Stealth for 1 turn (limit once per turn). Whenever an enemy is critically hit, Great Mothers and all Blessed allies gain 1% Offense (stacking) for 2 turns and recover 2% Protection, doubled if the enemy had Vulnerable. Whenever a Vulnerable enemy starts its turn, all Nightsister allies gain Foresight for 2 turns, and all non-Tank Nightsister allies gain Stealth for 1 turn. Whenever a Doomed enemy gains Turn Meter, Blessed allies gain 25% Turn Meter (limit once per Doomed enemy's turn). While in Territory Wars: Whenever a Vulnerable enemy is critically hit, Great Mothers and Blessed allies gain 5% Turn Meter. The first time any other Nightsister ally is reduced to 1% Health: Dispel all debuffs on themselves Gain Blessed for 2 turns if they didn't already have it, which can't be copied, dispelled, or prevented, and Damage Immunity for 1 turn, which can't be copied Recover 100% Health and Protection, and have their cooldowns reset They are defeated when Blessed is removed.
