Some combat missions will require Empire, Imperial Trooper, and Bounty Hunter factions.

The first three vertical slices will have curated, static squad requirements <<Dark Side Platoon Requirements>> .

. The special abilities you fought to activate in Rebel Assault, you will fight to deactivate in Imperial Retaliation – and vice versa!

An additional territory has been added, so that a total of 48 stars can be obtained.

TIME SAVINGS

Territory Wars will not be occurring at the same time as Territory Battles

Galactic War Difficulty: We currently scale the difficulty of Galactic War opponents with the player’s best squad, however only scale rewards up to Level 85. We are now capping the difficulty of opponent squads around the power of players who have just reached level 85. This should make Galactic War far easier to complete for elder players.

Challenge Timers: The cooldown for challenge timers has been reduced from 10 minutes to 2 minutes for level 85 players.

Some changes have been made to Daily Activities to improve the player experience: The dailies associated with training a character and equipping a piece of gear will now end at player level 40 The daily for upgrading a mod will be available from player level 50 - 59. When these dailies are removed, their rewards are added to "Daily Activities Completion"

Completed Missions: A consistency pass was done to ensure that all missions that have been completed have grey bases to indicate completion. This includes Platoon Missions that have 6/6 filled platoons filled and deploy missions that are at 3 stars.

General

Fixed issue where protection buffs would be persisted as base protection upon completion of a battle in galactic war.

Fixed some Territory Battle effects that were not playing their sounds.

Ion Cannon Platoon ability did not mention that it affects Phase 6 Imperial Fleet Staging Area

2X icon from Cantina Battles was overlapping with Double drop text "Bonus Rewards" from the main menu screen on 4:3 aspect ratio screens

Not all characters that required a piece of gear were being displayed when tapping on it

Engaging in a Territory Battle Combat Mission was replacing the player’s squad in Cantina Battles

Star requirement on UNITS tab of raid details did not match actual star requirement

Promoting a unit was causing the star animation to light up one star higher than it should

Ships could become unselectable due to ships swaying in front of each other. This not 100% fixed, but has vastly improved

AT-AT Assault can no longer be counter attacked.

Titles for "Challenges", "Events", and "Mod Battles" have been capitalized.

In some instances, a pre-made squad in Squad Select that was deleted would reappear on client restart.

Retreating from ship combat when a max health buff is on a dead unit was causing a crash.

When multiple units are sorted by a filter (ex. Rarity, Level, Gear Tier, Power, etc) and those units have equal values, the units are sorted alphabetically.

In some instances where damage over time was applied, the damage numbers would remain on screen.

In inbox messages, such as Guild Activity rewards, the rewards would occasionally overlap the text.

The guild chat icon was not functioning in the instance that the preview of the leader’s banner message was displayed.

If Hermit Yoda was the last unit in the opponent’s Galactic War team and escapes from the battle, the player could not progress.

Pending guild invites were counting toward the guild’s Galactic Power.

When returning to the Cantina when the “Activate Character” prompt is about to display, the daily activities could be pressed very quickly to overlap the two elements

Units defeated with Deathmark in Phase 1 of the Rancor Raid could be revived in the next encounter.

In some instances of Raids, damage numbers would stop displaying.

Now the “Join a guild” request is cancelled when a player joins another guild.

When first installing a game on an Android device, if the player has already logged into a Google + account, the “Already have an account?” button will no longer display.

Some players were receiving many duplicate push notifications.

In situations where a unit died and was revived, the star count showed less than 3 stars but the node could be simmed. Now the star count is based on the number of units remaining at the end of battle regardless of revive.

The props on the guild home table (ex. Rancor) would sometimes not display and the label beneath would sometimes be inaccurate.

Fix for popup message not displaying for credits button in the Dark Side and Light Side missions.

The guild text box will no longer overlap with ability buttons in combat.

[Android] Using the back button while promoting a unit will no longer cause the game to crash.
