Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes: Game update september 2019

Soeren Kamper Galaxy of Heroes

The guys over at Capital Games has launch the next version update for Star Wars: Galaxy of heroes – featuring Relic Amplifiers and the Scavenger!

The Scavenger and Relics will be locked initially, so other than a handful of bug fixes (see below), there won’t be much to do for the first 24 hours . At that point, players will be required to update (if they haven’t already) in order to access the final features and fixes for this update.

Here’s what you’ll see for Relics and The Scavenger today:

(For the teaser video, see here.)

Take your squad to the next level and power up your characters with Relic Amplifiers from the Star Wars universe! Each character has a unique Relic icon, signifying a new set of upgrades that provide stat boosts based on their role and aptitudes. Enhance the power of Relics such as Han Solo’s pistol, Yoda’s walking stick or Kylo Ren’s lightsaber, and other legendary items from the movies and TV shows.

The Scavenger

(For the full post, see here.)

This update introduces the Scavenger, a new Cantina guest who brings his knowledge of data cards to your collection! For the first time, you can now use your existing unused gear to create new items that enhance your Relics. Almost every single piece in your collection can be used to add value to characters! The Scavenger will make his appearance in the Cantina once you upgrade your first character to Gear Tier XIII.

  • Removed Auto-Rotate from the Character screen
  • Normal nodes in Light Side, Dark Side, and Fleet Battles are rewarding double drops on 9/13, 9/14, and 9/15.
  • League-specific Portrait Frames are now available! As you reach a higher League in Grand Arena Championships, the frame around your portrait will change to match your current League.

KNOWN ISSUES

(This section will be updated throughout the roll out.)

As part of this update, we’ve done a lot of work to shore up the game’s performance which has been at increased risk due to the addition of many new features and systems over the past few updates. This work included a major rewrite of some back-end systems. Although we have fixed most of the bugs that have popped up following this work, we will be updating this section with an accounting of known performance issues that do arise once the update is live, and will provide detailed updates should any of these issues grow beyond minor hiccups.
