Galactic Civil War

As part of GU16, we added logs for the galaxies-wide and the individual galaxy scores allowing us to track this data over time. Here are the graphs so far.

This graph shows the Galaxies-Wide score over time since the log went live. The score is a split percentage so the chart displays the Rebel percentage in red at the top and the Imperial percentage in blue at the bottom.

The following graph displays individual galaxy scores. Again this is percentage based so the full range would be 0 to 100. To better highlight the scores, the graph shows from 30% to 70%. Scores towards the top of the graph are Imperial dominated (blue-ish background). Scores toward the bottom are Rebel dominated (red-ish). So Sunrunner, for example, is heavily Imperial dominated whereas Radiant is Rebel dominated. Scores that run down the middle, like Bria, are pretty even. (and yes these colors are rough youre getting what we in the industry call programmer art feel free to offer suggestions to improve the charts)

It looks like the Imperials have regained some ground in the war. Congratulations to both sides for putting up a great fight and keeping the score tied across all the galaxies. Talk about balance!

April Fools Event

Dr. Fool caused some trouble again this year. We gave everyone the chance to earn the Toy Recaller title in case they missed it last year. We also told Customer Service they could spawn stuff in-game for the event. They were open to do what they wanted except they were not allowed to put players in their inventory or teleport starports. Were saving those for another event =)

Update 16

GU16 is live. With this update, the team was able to bring you more content courtesy of Nym, address top player issues, add more GCW features, and do Space. Hotfix 16.1 addressed some important issues in this update but also introduced a new issue. Some of the new boss mob quests were broken. The team has a fix ready which we will be pushing live next week. This will correct the problem for everyone affected.

Bug Bash & Cool Stuff

With GU16, the team enjoyed getting a chance to work on suggestions from our players. Based on the feedback we got from you, you enjoyed the results as well. So we decided to continue this trend and work on more top issues and feature requests. Whats coming next? Lots of really cool updates based on your suggestions. Ill highlight some here.

The junk dealer interface has always been lacking. Well now is the time for change. We are reworking the junk dealer. First, were adding an examine button so you can finally see more details on the loot item youre about to send into the ether.

In addition, we are adding a buy back system. This will allow you to get an item back after selling it. You will be refunded the cost of the item. The last 10 items you sell will be available for buy back. Were also currently working on allowing you to mark items as no sale. This means the item will not show up in the junk dealer list.

To keep the war incentives high, were adding some new GCW rewards as well. Heres a screenshot of one of them.

Weve got a few more surprises coming too. Well be doing some updates for Chronicles and Space. There will be more profession improvements, art changes like more color choices for wearables, and some long needed polish. Oh and one more subtle change to mention is that we are going to increase datapad storage for everyone (YES!!!). Keep an eye out for the public test notes and be sure to check out the changes when they hit our test servers.
