Light Side Geonosis Territory Battle - Republic Offensive [MEGA]
DEV POST "CG_SBCrumb;d-202379" wrote: Hi Holotable Heroes, Get ready to battle over the new light side Territory Battle on Geonosis, Republic Offensive! This difficult event will be available for preview in game next week and starting in early December, you'll need a mix of light side characters such as Jedi, Clones or Galactic Republic characters to defeat the waves of Separatist droids and Geonosians. Just like with Hoth, your guild will battle from right to left crushing the Separatist army in exciting new special missions, unique fleet battles while facing off against the terrifying Reek and Nexu. We have also created a variety of new granted abilities for each phase to help you shutdown the Separatists defenses. The light side version of this event will feature difficult missions with iconic Republic characters such as General Anakin Skywalker, General Kenobi, and Mace Windu. There are several new units that can be earned from special missions or event currency, along with plenty of new PvE units to really make this planetary battle one-of-a-kind. If you have been listening to podcasts from our community members or have been paying attention to the forums, you may already have an idea of who will be joining the holotables soon... We've got much more to share as we approach the launch of this exciting new event so stay tuned to the forums. https://i.imgur.com/JRs54RM.jpg DEV POST
Guilds and Raids - Q&A
Hey everyone, There have been a lot of questions surrounding Guilds and Raids, so I’m going to post the ones I’ve seen here along with the answers. If you have any additional questions go ahead and post them in this thread and I'll answer them as I can (and update the original post with the Q&A). Q: How much does it cost to create a Guild? A: The cost to create a Guild is 300,000 Credits. Q: Can guild ownership be transferred? If so, what reset time does the guild use for activities? The original creator's reset time or the new leader's reset time? A: Yes, Guild ownership can be transferred. The reset time will still be set to the original Guild Leaders time zone. Q: Will there be in-game guild tags for guild members? A: No, there will not be tags, however you can do a name change now to manually add the tag you’d like to use yourself. Q: For guild daily activities and raids, will there be a complete roster contribution list? A: Yes, via a leaderboard you will be able to see how much each Guild member has contributed. Q: Do the Shared Activities earn Guild bank Currency or Individual Guild Currency? A: Shared Guild Activities exclusively award Guild Currency, which is used to make purchases in Guild Shipments. These involve activities such as completing X PvP battles as a group and have cooperative and competitive aspects. The Daily Activity “Personal Guild Contribution” is the only way to earn Guild Bank Coins, which are needed to summon Raids. This activity is completed by spending Energy anywhere in the game. Q: Will guilds be playable across servers or on one server only? A: They will be able to have members from all "servers", just like your allies list. Q: Will a guild be assigned to one timezone and the activities stick to that timezones schedule, or will they be based on each members timezone? A: A Guild is assigned to one timezone, the Guild Leaders. Q: Who pays the fee when creating a Guild? A: The Guild Leader is the one that must pay the entire cost. Q: How many members can a Guild have? A: 50 Q: Can a Guild Leader remove members from their Guild? A: Yes, the Guild Leader can remove members that they no longer want in their Guild. A Guild Leader can also make assign the role of Officer to players in their Guild, giving them the ability to also remove members, invite members, and summon Raids. Q: Will the Guild Store be available right away on Sunday? A: No, the Guild Store won't show up until Monday when we fully push out the update to all players. At this time, a large number of bug fixes will also be patched in. ______________________ Q: How doable is a Guild for FTP? A: Very doable! Raid difficulties start at no requirements for the first tier and then go up by 1 star in difficulty each tier after, lettings players of all progression levels jump in The Pit. Q: How long is the raid? What is the specific time frame to complete it? A: The first 6 Raid Tiers do not have a time limit and characters refresh once a day allowing a Guild of any size to complete it. The final tier (Heroic) has a 2 day time limit). Regarding how long a Raid will take to complete, that scales greatly based on the number of players in the Guild and the quality of their characters/strategy. Q: Will we be able to win crystals via guilds? A: Crystals are not part of the rewards earned through Guilds or Raids. Q: Can an individual in a smaller than 50 guild be rewarded the same as if you were a member of a 50 person guild? A: It will be much harder to complete higher tiers of Guild Daily Activities, but yes, the rewards would be the same if the goals can be met. Raids will be harder to complete with fewer members as well, but doable over a longer period of time (except for Heroic difficulty since there is a time limit). Q: Are the achievements going to be worth it and advantageous for everyone in a guild to target just those and forego the regular farming we would normally use our energy for? A: No, players will need to spend energy in all areas of the game to contribute to their Guild Bank Currency which is used to activate Raids. Q: As long as you do a decent amount of whatever the daily guild requirement is, will you earn enough Guild credit to buy a 5 shard pack for a character in Shipments? A: Players who regularly contribute to Guild Activities and the Raids will earn enough Guild Currency to regularly make purchases in Guild Shipments. This is assuming that the Guild has many other members that are also contributing daily. Guilds are about collaboration, so the more players work together the more frequently each player will be able to purchase shard packs from Guild Shipments. Q: With the 7 tiers, can you only complete one each raid? A: Once a Raid is activated you will be unable to activate another one until the current one is completed. Q: Will we be granted enough guild currency upon creation to immediately start a raid or will we have to earn if from zero upon creating the guild? A: Guilds will need to earn enough Guild Bank Coins before being able to participate in a Raid. Q: Do you play live with other members of the guild, or is it on an individual basis? A: All players will take their squad and battle against the Rancor individually, but the health of it is shared between all players in the Guild. So players will need to work together if they want to have a chance of defeating this massive foe. __________________________________ Q: Is there any advantage or disadvantage of guild members being in different Timezones from the Guild Leaders time? A: This depends on the nature of the Guild. If the Guild Leader summons a Raid while certain members are unable to play the game, they may defeat the Rancor and rewards will only be given to those that participated. Q: What is the character limit for your name? A: 28 Q: Will normal credits/currency be part the reward system in guilds to help with the credit crunch? A: Completing Raids will award an amount of Credits, along with other prizes. Q: What are the squad sizes in raids? A: 5 Q: Are we going to be able to borrow an ally from guild-mates? A: No Q: Can players leave a Guild after joining one? A: Yes, players can leave a Guild at any time, however there will be a short cooldown period before they are able to join another Guild (to prevent Guild hopping) Q: "characters refresh once a day" does this mean the raids are like Galactic War and you use your entire applicable roster five characters at a time until you run out of characters, or is there a different limit on the attempts each player can make on the raid each day? A: There is a limit on the number of attempts each day. Also, any character that is defeated during the Raid must wait until the following day before they can be used again. Q: What will the mechanism be for adding members to a guild roster? Does the guild leader send invites or do potential members apply to the guild? Or both? A: A Guild Leader can set a number of ways to open up their Guild for members. They can set it so that the Guild is invite only, or they can set it to open so that players may freely join. Q: For buying the new gear, the mats reward will be random or we will choose it in guild shipments? A: The Guild Store will have Shards and Gear that can be purchased with Guild Currency. There will also be Gear rewarded by completing a Raid.
Territory Wars: Community Style [MEGA]
ORIGINAL THREAD "CG_SBCrumb;d-191760" wrote: With the positive feedback we heard from the community following the limited-time character bonuses we added to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Clone Wars, as well as the recent addition of the Grand Arena events, we’re going to continue to shake things up in Territory Wars as we move into the future. When Territory Wars was introduced, it was the first opportunity players had to test their full rosters against other players. Now that the Grand Arena events are running, we believe this will be a much better fit for challenging players who have a similar collection. This will be the arena for purely competitive play. That frees us up to take Territory Wars in a more playful and fun direction. It also gives us as developers a ton more options to keep this mode fresh and interesting. We are planning to roll out many new types of Territory Wars in the future, but for the next Territory War, we’re giving the community the ability to shape what it looks like! Here’s how it will work: The community will vote to keep 6 out of 10 groups of 4 characters that you want to see available during for next Territory War. Any groups NOT chosen will be unavailable for this Territory Wars While the community votes, the Dev team will hold their own poll and pick 1 out of 4 groups of characters to keep as well (For this Territory War, we’re publishing the groups that we’ll choose from ahead of time. See our potential picks in the Dev Poll Options below) Finally, we will post the Community’s top picks and our picks prior to the start of the event to give you time to strategize Other Rules: Any unlisted character (i.e., not in any group) will automatically be available for use The poll will be open until Jan 7th Results of both the Community and internal Dev poll will be posted on Jan 9th Ships will be available even if their pilot is banned We’d love to hear your feedback and ideas around Territory Wars - Community Style but also don’t forget to vote for January below!

answer to TB rotations is not answer to the question that was asked
Q: Would it be possible to pick between both old TB's while still alternating LS & DS Geo TB? The content is very old at this point, but our guild still doesn't have the Probe Droid across the board (and I don't believe anybody has a 7*). We've graduated to DS Geo TB, but we've been able to alternate between standard Imperial DS TB and Geo. Now with the release of LS Geo TB we're losing the opportunity to alternate DS TB's and we've got no further use of the LS Rebel TB, and are probably years away from doing LS Geo TB. We feel like we're being forced to pursue a game mode that we're finished with at the expense of having to later choose between 2 we really want to participate in. A: CG_Tophat - The short answer is no. We walk a delicate line between demanding too much and too little time for a mobile game. If we allow players to play the old TBs alongside the new ones, from a min/max perspective this is basically a requirement to be "good" at the game which is to play both. So while there are some players that want to play more our data indicates that we already ask a lot of a lot of players time. Adding an additional "requirement" probably tips us over on the "required" amount of time playing. In addition, we have very specific economy outflows modeled and allowing the second TB disrupts that in a way that as the economy is currently set up, can't handle. @CG_Tophat This was not mine question, but i feel that you didnt read or understand it. So would you mind to answer it once more? The person is not asking for us being able to do Geo and Hoth simultaneously. He is asking for us be able to choose from both Hoth LS/DS each time. So that guilds now can farm the shards for characters they want. His Guild as a bet a lot of other Guilds want to farm IPD and WAT shards, so they want to do one week of Geo DS and second week of Hoth DS. Hoth TBs are soo old and obsolete, than what bad it can do if you let us choose LS/DS each time, while still keep Geo LS/DS switching.
Territory Battle and War - Guild Leader and Officer Tools Update [MEGA]
< > "CG_Carrie;d-131789" wrote: Hello Holotable Heroes! In a previous post about Territory Battle Cadence and Reward Changes I mentioned that we would be investigating tools for Guild Leaders and Officers that would help make coordination easier for Territory Battles. We wanted to follow up with you to let you know what those tools are, and when you can expect to see them in the game. These specific tools were determined based on the behaviors we are seeing in Territory Battles and also from collecting numerous points of feedback from our beta testers and from the players in the forums, so thank you for providing it! They will be usable in Territory Battles and the upcoming Territory Wars feature as well and will be released in the Territory Wars update. Viewing Player Contributions by Phase: We’ve added leaderboards to “Stats” for tracking more detailed player actions in Territory Battles. These include Territory Points earned, Galactic Power deployed, Combat Missions attempted, and Special Missions attempted per phase. This will allow everyone in the guild to be able to view individual player contribution by phase, instead of simply overall contribution. Guild Orders: Leaders/Officers will be able to set orders on each mission to direct their guild to make strategic choices. Missions can be highlighted to draw attention to them Missions can be prohibited. A Guild member can still choose to participate, but receives a warning message that they are participating in a mission that the guild leader has prohibited them from doing and must choose to willingly disobey orders. Players that disobey orders will be tracked in stats under a new leaderboard called "Rogue Actions" A customized message can be written on the details panel for all missions to communicate further information. For example: “Get to two stars and then stop” Up to six of these customized messages can be saved for quick reference. Guild Order Notifications: Leaders/Officers will be able to send a push notification and Inbox Message to guild members letting them know that Guild Orders have been changed. This can be used to remind players to do an action. Contribution Max Lock: Once a territory has reached 3 stars in Territory Battles, players will no longer be able to participate in the deploy and combat missions on that territory. This has been a frequent ask to prevent players from accidentally wasting their potential contribution. Platoon Missions and Special Missions will still be available. We are excited to see how you are able to improve your guild strategy in Territory Battles with these features, and are planning on sharing more details about the Territory Wars feature very soon. -Carrie < >What Kinds of Data do Guild Officers Want?
Hi folks, In our Q&A today, we were asked what information the game can surface to Guild Officers to help them manage and plan their Guild's efforts. We've received many questions regarding tools for Guild Officers, (I recently compiled a list of tool requests from the community for the feature team and this is something that we are working on) but those features are still a ways off. In the meantime, there may be some shorter term solutions to showing Guild information in the client or on the web. TLDR; What kinds of additional information could we surface that would be helpful to Guild Officers? Thanks for your feedback!
Update on MINI and What Is Being Done
Hey Everyone, Some of you may know who I am, some may not. I am Rangerj1999 from Reality Skewed Gamers, a streamer for SWGOH, and like all of you I have been moved by MINI's story, as well as the entire content creators for this Game. I have been seeing a lot of post about this and since we are taking point on what is happening for MINI, I wanted to let you all know what the content creators are doing, what we have done, what will be happening soon and what you can do. First, thank you to the community, guilds and shards for doing the name change to MINI. It means a lot and if you can keep letting people know and asking others for the name change, that would be greatly appreciated. Second, big thank you to CG, specifically Doja and especially Crumb for changing their name to MINI. As soon as I asked and shared the situation with Crumb he did not hesitate and made the change. We have been in contact with the family and I know Crumb did as well, to see what the family wanted and what we could do for them. I know everyone at CG is doing everything they can at the moment. That leads me to what is happening in the background. K8gaming got with me and asked what we could do and we decided to do a charity stream, which I will cover further down in this post. Shout out to K8 and the Bounty Hunnies for setting up the Tiltify. The family asked that if we did donations it went to a specific Charity and that is St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. We have it set up and you guys are proving again why this community rocks. So far we have raised over $4000 and rising, and we have not even done the charity stream yet!! If you would like to donate please do here: https://tiltify.com/@bountyhunnies/swgoh-community-for-mini Share your thoughts and prayers, or share your stories in the message when you donate. Just as it is affecting MINI, Cancer has touched all of us in some way. My story is like many of yours, I myself lost my father to Cancer and is one of the reasons I am a Gamer for Cancer and work with the American Cancer Society, through streaming to help raise money for their cause. Also huge shout out to all the content creators, who are doing all they can and have joined forces. Huge props to Arnald and Cubs for the video they did for MINI, being that those two are his favorite streamers. Also shout out to Cubs who actually sang for MINI on his stream yesterday, singing Weird Al's "The Saga Begins," one of MINI's favorites. The other content creators, through the GACenter are all doing video messages for MINI to send to him and his family to show our support as well. The Escape podcast/GACenter and those associated with them, have volunteered to cut and get it ready ASAP to send to MINI and his family, and it is much appreciated. Lastly, as many as can make it, from content creators, to CG with be on a special Jedi Academy Stream this Saturday, Starting at 10 AM EST, to continue to raise money for MINI. It will be an extended stream and we invite everyone to join us and hangout, as we continue to fight for MINI and his family and help raise money for a worthy cause. The link to the stream can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psonBXUYHss Thank you again community for showing why you are the best gaming community out there and we look forward to seeing you Saturday.
