• PTS Patch Notes 1.1.3

    Patch 1.1.3 implemented on the public test server comes with a mixed series of changes and fixes. Once it hits the live servers, players will have a tough choice between being sad about changes like the surge nerf or happy about corrected issues such as the Warzone win mission credit and Ilum PvP kills.

      It increases the magnitude of your crits, so more surge = bigger crits

      - Players are no longer occasionally disconnected from the game when interacting with a mailbox.

      This usually resulted in me loosing the items that I just got from the mail. Then needing to wait 1-2 days for a restore. Glad to see it fixed, but would like to see the patch notes acknowledge the lost items issue.

      Based on the quality of some of the other bug fixes recently, you'll probably stay connected but still lose the items

      I've been dying to abandon that rationed bonus series! It's driving me nuts just seeing it grayed out on my list.

      Nice changes, good to see them being taken care of quickly.

      Still waiting for that "Hide companion head slot" button though. :-)

      How would they fix social points and stuff in Hard Modes? I thought the problem was (especially BT) that the flashpoints ends before the actual conclusions of conversations, etc. You basically get credit after last boss dies.

      i noticed that the surge rating patch notes directly addressed damage percentages... Think this applies DR on heals as well?

      I assume yes, else they are stupid, would overpower healers significently.

      The nerf does not matter much, just mean everyone, over all will do less damage. So i get nerfed, but so does my opponant.

      For PvE it has an effect, the OPS will do less damage on average and healers less heals. Could be a problem for people that JUST make it on bosses.

    Be aware that purchasing these types of purses truly leads to the particular demise of the market while you in fact harm the business of makers as well

    Doesn't look like the dye system is working very well.

    Idk, I honestly like the engine, though from the struggles they have with it, it seems that you can't build upon it much. Engines like the Unreal engine
