Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes 12/2 Update: New Features & Fixes Detailed

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (SWGoH) continues to be a galaxy far, far away worth exploring. With its latest update from December 2nd, there’s plenty of tweaks, fixes, and new content for players to enjoy—or grumble about (we see you, hardcore perfectionists). Let’s break down the highlights from the patch, alongside a little nod to Star Wars Outlaws, which is keeping its Steam reviews impressively “Mostly Positive.”

What’s New in Galaxy of Heroes?

This update packs in a few juicy nuggets for players who enjoy both grinding for character shards and celebrating when bugs finally get squashed. Here’s what you need to know:

Updated Episode Point Rewards

Ever feel like your efforts weren’t getting the galactic payout they deserved? Well, EA has rebalanced the Episode Points granted by Galactic Challenge feats and Daily Quests. It’s like finding extra credits under the Millennium Falcon’s floorboards—unexpected but welcome.

Episode Quest Adjustment

Now, completing Tier 2 of a Marquee counts lifetime completions. Translation? Your grind in these events feels a tad more meaningful, even if you’ve been yelling at your holo-table about RNG rolls for weeks.

Marrok is Finally Farmable

The mystery-shrouded Marrok (yes, the one who was definitely not someone you thought he was) has his shards now farmable on Light-Side 8-A Hard. Grab those shards and pretend you’re a Sith Inquisitor planning your next move.

Padawan Sabine Wren Joins the Chromium Party

Sabine Wren (Padawan edition) is now available in Chromium Packs and Shipments. If you’ve been itching to complete your Ahsoka-themed squad, she’s ready to join the fight. Let’s just hope she doesn’t bring Ezra’s level of sarcasm into your lineup.

General Syndulla Event Incoming

The General Syndulla Event starts tomorrow. Will this be Hera’s chance to take center stage? We’ll find out soon. Spoiler: she’s probably going to need a solid Phoenix squad backing her up.

Bug Fixes – Because Even Droid Maintenance Needs Maintenance

Ah, bugs—the Tatooine sandstorm of video games. Here’s what got fixed this time around:

Peridea Patrol Confusion Cleared Up: Mentions of POW (not the prison kind) have been swapped with Enoch. Clarity achieved, finally.
Huyang’s Death SFX Issue Resolved: Now, when Huyang bites the dust, he does it with full sound effects. Audiophiles rejoice.
Protection Disruption Immunity for Gungans: Shield Generator finally works properly, ensuring Gungan allies get their much-needed immunity. Boss Nass approves.
Daily Quest Rewards Restored: Missing Squad Arena Currency is back for Level 85 players. You can stop filing those missing credits reports with the Empire now.
Executrix Event Fixed: No more hiccups here. Grand Moff Tarkin is back in business, no Death Star required.

Known Issue: The 28K Episode Currency Snafu

In a classic case of “whoops,” players were given 28K Episode Currency instead of Points. The team is aware, and EA promises this will be sorted out by the end of the week. Until then, consider it a minor galactic bookkeeping error.

Star Wars Outlaws – “Mostly Positive” Vibes on Steam

Meanwhile, over in the open-world smuggling and shooting corners of the galaxy, Star Wars Outlaws has earned a “Mostly Positive” rating on Steam with nearly 1,000 reviews. That’s no small feat in the world of gamers who can debate for hours whether The Last Jedi was brilliant or blasphemous.

What’s even more impressive is the steady concurrent player numbers, holding strong even on non-launch weekends. Looks like fans—er, players—are finding joy in dodging Imperial patrols and living out their scoundrel dreams. Just remember: Han shot first, but Kay Vess is rewriting the rulebook.

Final Thoughts: A Galaxy in Constant Flux

From SWGoH’s steady updates to Star Wars Outlaws’ promising reception, there’s never been a better time to immerse yourself in a galaxy filled with space politics, saber battles, and a healthy dose of bugs getting patched. Whether you’re grinding for shards, commanding fleets, or living your best outlaw life, Star Wars gaming remains a vibrant corner of the fandom.

Now, if only we could get a playable Gungan squad in Outlaws. Or not. Let’s not tempt fate.

Novara Skuara

When I was 7, I saw Star Wars: A New Hope in theaters a week after it opened. My parents were nice enough to take me and I have been a fan of Star Wars and almost all science fiction in general. I am an amateur writer who has been published for contributing flavor text to a RP game. I also have a copyright on a novel I hope to be able to publish sometime soon.
