Finally finished my first Galactic War campaign! That means 15 Luminara shards today and some awesome bonuses! Sucks that the shard I got was just stupid Lobot.

Managed to get my first character from a Bronze pack, IG-100. I guess he sucks, but whatever, it's only my 4th dark side character, so he'll get along with the other sucky ones I got.

I finally pulled something decent from a bronze pack - IG-86. Only 1* however, but he's a good offensive support character for PVP. Better than the shit I normally get.

Update is live. Here are the patch notes: https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.star...14-2016#latest
The only real things that matter to sub-60 players like the majority of us are:
- Credit Droids will no longer drop from daily login rewards or challenges, they will instead be replaced with their credit equivalent.
- Princess Leia has had her ability Hair Trigger fixed to match the description. There was previously a bug that would allow this ability to attack up to 4 times instead of the intended 3.
- The icons for Darth Maul’s abilities Raging Storm and Whirling Blades were incorrect and have now been swapped.
- Kylo Ren’s ability Ragged Cut can no longer apply a damage over time effect if the attack is dodged.
- Chewbacca will no longer taunt if he is the last standing character in a squad.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
Hearing the the GW Retreat option has been neutralized because it resets the enemy team completely. Maybe this was intentional, maybe not. It definitely removes strategy and means you'll need a full roster to compete.
Nice...

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
This update sucks. They've made it much harder to farm shards by only allowing 3 battles at a time in campaign mode on a given battle. Considering the shit drop rates anyway, it will now take literally forever without crystals to level up. The cash grab begins (or worsens).

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
I don't see any changes like that. Hard campaign battles have always been 3/day. Normal and cantina are still unlimited.

BTW, after the update, it signed me out of Google play and I had to go through that awful tutorial again. There needs to be some sort of cancel function for that.

Yeah, that's not any different than before, and yes it sucks. It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't cost 12 energy, that's just ridiculous.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
I think this game is really moving away hard from F2P. I'm seriously deciding whether to continue at this point. I doubt I'll ever be anything more than a low-average player without investing serious coin. I tried to join a guild and they said there was a $100/wk spend requirement. No thanks.

$100 a WEEK!?! I can't imagine spending $100 a month on any game yet alone some BS F2P mobile time killer.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
Campaigns 1-4 are 6 & 12 energy (normal & hard, respectively).
Campaigns 5-6 (and maybe 7-8) are 8 & 16 energy.
Cantina changes from 8 to 10 energy in level 3.
All the rewards scale too. Some of the shards are repeats. You don't have to do everything, but it can give more chances for those shards you want or that gear you need.
Should the costs be constant? Does that make sense?

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
Developer commented on the surprise GW retreat change:
Hey everyone,
I'm REALLY sorry that the GW Retreat change went live without any announcement.
The explanation for how that happened is embarrassing - we assembled patch notes from a list of data changes, but the GW Retreat change was a server change. Server releases are always handled separately from data releases from a technical perspective, but sometimes they happen to occur on the same day. We are going to have a meeting to discuss how we can GUARANTEE that important server change with player-facing consequences are not released without accompanying patch notes again.
I wrote something to add to the patch notes, but I'm going to let Jesse edit his own post in a few minutes, so until then here's the explanation:
The functionality of Retreat has been changed so that it behaves the same as force-quitting the app. While we understand that many players relied on Retreating as part of their strategy, ultimately there were two different ways to leave a battle that didn’t behave the same way (Retreating, and force-quitting the app). We decided that in order to keep the experience fair and consistent, we would change the behavior of Retreat to work the same as force-quitting.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
I'm currently ranked #349 in my PvP and that's because I haven't really been trying to rank up until lately. I've been fine coasting to stay in the top 1000.
In fact, I'd be doing a lot better if I didn't save 2500 crystals for the 8x pack but would have just done energy refreshes. That's been pretty lucrative in the last few days. It's all about purple gear farming.
