Game Update - 9/13/2016

Hey Everyone, Here are the update notes for 9/13/2016 Assault Battles: Forest Moon Return to the Forest Moon is starting September 15th. This event will run for 3 days, is balanced for 5 characters at level 78+, and requires either Empire or Droid characters. Both tiers rebalanced to require mods. Similar to Military Might, you will need approximately 1-2 star mods for Tier 1. Tier 2 requires approximately 4-5 star mods, gear level 10, and level 80 units with maxed out abilities. Tier 2 is now called the “Bonus Tier” (was “Tier II (Very Hard)”). This tier is intended as a challenge for users who have a maxed out squad and desire a truly difficult experience. Earning the Achievement still only requires completion of Tier 1. Bonus Tier has had the following mechanical improvements for added difficulty: The Ewok Elder in the Final Boss wave of the Bonus tier will now resurrect all dead Ewoks when he is killed. You have been warned! Chief Chirpa has much higher tenacity in wave 8. In both tiers, deadly Ewoks now have a non-dispellable buff called “Deadly” to help increase mechanic clarity. Free replays changed to match Military Might. Rewards for first time completion adjusted upwards. Replay rewards adjusted upwards. Slightly lowered speed of Ewok Scouts & Warriors in Tier 1 (~5-8%) across the board. (They’re still pretty fast though.) Additional Update Notes Packs that’re available daily (ex: Jedi Pack, Scoundrel pack) are now available for players starting at lv 20. Previously they were only available to players lv 58 or higher Low level gear pieces have been added to Guild Shipments A refresh button has been added to the Shard Shop You can now purchase exclusive Raid Gear in the Shard Shop. Immediately upon release, the shard shop will have raid gear after you buy your first refresh (or wait until shard shop refreshes on its own) The MK 5 CEC Fusion Furnace and MK 6 Nubian Design Tech have been replaced with MK 5 Arakyd Droid Caller & MK 7 Nubian Security Scanner in PVE shipments In the 9/9 community update, it was announced that omega battle would be running on Sept 14th & Sept 15th. Due to a recently discovered bug, the Omega Battles event has been cancelled. This will be fixed in a future update.
