Patch 1.0.1 (Test Server) Notes

[luckton]

Nice to see CC added back to the Boarding Party in MR.

No mention of fixing tumult, damnit i need my bad ass darth maul back kick.

[tazelbain]

I keep expecting them to nerf slicing. It's so obviously broken and inflationary.

I dunno, maybe it's a negligible amount of money at endgame.

What's wrong with tumult?

You have to look like a idiot for a while longer because our player base is dumb as a bag of rocks.

Essentially, yes.  The same can also be said for whoever designed and implemented the UI. 

[Mrbloodworth]

Told you color matters.

[sam, an eggplant]

What's really amusing is they talk about all the jedi knight armor being brown, then say this limits item variety for other classes. This is absolutely correct-- every single piece of JK armor I've seen looks absolutely identical. Brown robes, with a frickin' hood that I can't turn off to see my cutie-pie short-haired freckled redhead jedi's face.

By the way, newly opened Public Test Server forum has the patch notes for their next patch.

I swear, it's like some people here don't click on the "New" button and read the posts down from there...

Oops, sorry.

Use longer sentences please, it was too short; didn't read.

As far as i can tell it never lights up so i can never use it.

At higher skill levels its like a 30 minute mission for about 2-3k profit, hardly unbalancing.

[Fordel]

Once you hit 50, money just starts piling up. All your quest XP is directly converted into Credits and you don't really have shit to spend it on anymore outside of vanity items.

I use it with Overload, and it works just fine.  Can be a pain to get within range before they get up.  Haven't tried it with Jolt, Whirlwind, or Electrocute.

[Threash]

Apparently it works fine in pve, i was doing pvp all morning and it didn't work on players with either electrocute or overload.

[Cadaverine]

Yeah, it is a pve only ability.  Same deal with Whirlwind.

So the economy is broken anyway, then. Shrug.

XP=creds is crazy.

[kildorn]

XP=creds is crazy.

Err? WoW already does this. The question is how much content is there to do this with, and is there a viable money sink anywhere. Or are we looking at 15mil for PVP twink gear again (side note: totally going to hijack the market on this, sage/sorc lowbie epics go!)

I only had a chance to use it once before I left for the holidays.  You do realize you can only use it on incapacitated targets, right?  So I stealthed in, Space Sapped the LT guy and I was able to Tumult him since Sap (Mind Maze I think it's called?) is an incapacitate.  Don't know if the stun also counts and I don't have the knockdown yet.  But as far as I can tell from my one try it's working as it should.

[Ingmar]

Is that one of those 'strong or lower' only ones? Those seem kind of useless for anything but PVP really.

[Rendakor]

I find the exact opposite to be true. My Jugg has several stuns that work on trash mobs, but none that work on tough mobs or players except Force Choke.

[fuser]

The PVP exp nerf is going to suck. been using a lot to level keeping the warzone queue running

Yes, i knew that.  The problem was that i had only been trying to use it in pvp and it didn't seem to work at all there.  Which is probably intended since it does a fuck ton of damage, although it sucks because it looks awesome and the kicking is very Darth Maulish.

[Nevermore]

That's good to know.  I've only tried pvp twice so far and it's hard to tell what works against other players and what doesn't.

1.0.1 notes are going live today.

[eldaec]

Does "scheduled maintenance" get scheduled anywhere?

I'm thinking particularly of "scheduled maintenance" that, for instance, wipes out an entire public holiday. 

[Merusk]

Silly non-Americans. Today's not a public holiday!

If you lost sound last patch like I did, here's how to fix it.

I wasn't aware that the US observed odd Canadian traditions! ;)

Side note: Working combat log, Bioware? Sometime soon? PLEASE? Because I'm 100% certain your scrolling combat text is not only wrong, but crazy wrong.

Heh, look at you posting a link in downtime *which apparently requires the entire SWTOR web prescence to go down because idk they are running it from game servers or whatever*.

Almost anywhere in the world that takes a civilised approach to public holidays (ie. doesn't lose them to weekends) has today off for boxing day. Have fun working Americans!
