        Traveling from a Contested Area to a Contested Region now causes companions to be unsummoned correctly.


Crew Skills


    Crafting Skills

    Below, you’ll notice some changes to high-end Biochem and Cybertech crafted items that reduce their output. We understand that these changes may cause concern for Biochemists and Cybertechs, but we’ve made them in order to prevent a situation where any specific crafting skill becomes the objective “best choice” for players challenging endgame content or PvP. We only make this type of change after very careful consideration, and only to ensure a level and fun playing field for all players.


        Artifice

            All mod type item modification schematics have been removed from the Artifice trainer. These schematics were invalid, and could not be used if purchased.

        Biochem

            All Energized, Exotech, and Rakata adrenals and stims now require 400 Biochem for use.
            The Exotech Medpac is now named “Exotech Med Unit.” Its overall healing has been reduced and is now in line with similar level medpacs, and it temporarily increases the maximum health of its targets. Use of this item now requires 400 Biochem.
            The amount healed by Rakata Medpacs has been reduced. This item now additionally increases maximum health briefly. Use of this item now requires 400 Biochem.

        Cybertech

            Wynz-Tek grenades now require 400 Cybertech for use.
            Wynz-Tek Grenades have had their damage reduced to bring them more in line with grenades of similar level.
            The Wynz-Tek Firestorm grenade’s damage has been reduced to bring it in line with grenades of similar level. It now deals damage every 3 seconds over 12 seconds.


Flashpoints and Operations


    Flashpoints


        Maelstrom Prison

            X-37 Oppressor Droid’s grapple can no longer be resisted, ensuring the fight mechanic behaves as intended.

        Colicoid War Game

            This Flashpoint’s mission now correctly leads the players into the Flashpoint.

        The Red Reaper

            The Red Reaper mission now updates correctly for the entire group when the mission is obtained on the Imperial or Republic Fleets.

        Directive 7

            Bulwark was dealing more damage than intended in Normal Mode. His damage output has been reduced.
            Corrected an issue that caused Interrogator to sometimes spawn far more cyborgs than intended. The fight is now more manageable.
            Corrected an issue that allowed Replicator to become susceptible to crowd control in Hard Mode, making the encounter easier than intended.

        The False Emperor

            Tregg no longer immediately initiates his whirlwind attack after leaping to a player target. Players now have more time to react and avoid whirlwind damage.
            Corrected an issue that caused Jindo Krey to randomly target players with his blaster attack. He now focuses those attacks on his primary target, making him “tankable” as intended.
            Players can now acquire special Pulse Grenades outside of Darth Malgus’ throne room. These grenades aid groups lacking knockback abilities in defeating him.

    Operations


        Eternity Vault

            The Ancient Pylons now reset correctly if not solved within the allotted time.
            Soa’s mind traps unintentionally had 200k health in Nightmare Mode. This amount has been reduced significantly.
            The duration of the Penalty of Destiny effect in the Infernal Council encounter has been increased to 1 minute. Players are unable to assist other players in their fight for the duration of this effect.

        Karagga’s Palace

            Reduced the damage of Bonethrasher’s Overhead Smash attack and reduced the distance players are knocked back by his Backhand attack in Hard Mode. This gives players more room to avoid being knocked into the pit.
            Bonethrasher no longer attacks players immediately after they fall into his pit when re-entering after being defeated, allowing players to regroup before engaging.


Items


    General

        Several tanking relics that had the incorrect stats have been corrected.

    PvP

        The PvP item “Heal Consumable” is now named “Warzone Medpac.” Its cooldown has been reduced from 5 minutes to 3 minutes and it now shares the 1.5-minute cooldown with other medpacs. This item can be used effectively over time, but now cannot be stacked beyond what is intended.
        The PvP item “Overcharge Consumable” is now named “Warzone Expertise Adrenal.” Its cooldown has been reduced from 5 minutes to 3 minutes and it now shares a cooldown with other adrenals. It (and other adrenals) no longer stack with the PvP Power-Up that increases Expertise to prevent Expertise values from increasing beyond intended levels.
        Warzone Medpacs and Warzone Expertise Adrenals no longer share a cooldown with each other.
        A new line of high-end PvP relics with appropriate PvP stats have been added to PvP vendors.

    Bug Fixes

        Battlemaster Bags now correctly contain Battlemaster Commendations.

    Missions

            The Mandalorian Killer: Kellian Jarro and Thendys Noori now correctly spawn during this mission.

            Prison Breaking: Rist Slayers, Stalkers, Torturers, and Prison Guards now respawn correctly.
            Rescue Operation: This mission now progresses normally if the player is defeated on the step “Use Your Personal Holocom” when fleeing the base.
            Scorched Earth: The mission objective NPC in this mission no longer spawns as friendly and unattackable in some instances.
            Shattering: Mission progression no longer becomes blocked if the player returns to the med center after being defeated in combat.
            The Shadow Fist: Mission progression no longer becomes blocked if the player closes the loot window on the step “Recover the Stealth Field Generator.”

        Inviting a new player to a guild no longer causes the member list to display incorrectly.


Miscellaneous Bug Fixes

        Corrected an issue that could cause the game to crash during area transitions.
        Fixed a bug that could cause players to fall through the world during or after a conversation or cinematic.

although 1.1 has been delayed  info is coming out re 1.2

Quote
An interview was released today containing information regarding Patch 1.2 that is coming in March. Some of the highlights are as follows:

    Part 2 of Rise of the Rakghouls Flashpoint
    A brand new level 50 planet called Denova
    A new 8-16 man Operation
    A new Warzone
    The full Legacy System
    Guild Banks
Quote
Legacy levels unlock abilities and perks, they allow you to use bind on legacy items. It also allows you to customize your level of experience. We know that when a player has played a character from levels one to 50, and he's starting up a new character, so there's certain things where he wants his experience to be slightly different, he might want to optimize it so that he's doing more PvP than he was the last time, or maybe he wants to focus more on heroic quests. The legacy system will allow him to essentially optimize his gameplay experience, through things like experience point bonuses, other things like that.

lag fixes coming in every patch

I take it this DT is to fix all the issues ive been reading about with ilum and pvp in general?

(And my way of avoiding patch days works yet again, I'll crop up tomorrow ingame as I think Belsavis is pretty good and would like to keep on through it. No way am I logging after another emergency patch session :D).

Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

Star Wars: The Old Republic - 1.1.1 Patch Notes


Note: The Public Test Server patch notes will be provided in English. The final release notes will be provided in English, French, and German when the content is moved to live servers.


Classes and Combat


    General

        Fixed a bug that could cause the Global Cooldown to appear as if it has been cancelled when it is actually still in effect, resulting in a feeling of unresponsiveness to input.
        Corrected an issue that could cause an ability icon to appear usable but be unresponsive to clicks or keypresses for several seconds.
        Players revived by other players, including by in-combat revival abilities, now revive with 25% of maximum health.



    Jedi Knight


        Guardian

            Freezing Force: Now correctly lasts 9 seconds (up from 6 seconds).


    Jedi Consular


        Sage

            Mental Alacrity: Now correctly costs no Force to activate.
            Salvation: No longer heals targets twice on application. It now correctly heals all affected targets once when applied.


    Smuggler


        Scoundrel

            Flechette Round: Now provides 30% armor penetration while active.
            K.O.: This ability now knocks the target down for 1.5 seconds.
            Shoot First: The damage output of this ability has been decreased by approximately 20% to control burst damage and because it was enabling significantly faster than intended kills in PvP.


    Imperial Agent


        Operative

            Acid Blade: Now provides 30% armor penetration while active.
            Jarring Strike: This ability now knocks the target down for 1.5 seconds.
            Hidden Strike: The damage output of this ability has been decreased by approximately 20% to control burst damage and because it was enabling significantly faster than intended kills in PvP.

        Mercenary

            Sweeping Blasters can now be made free with Thermal Sensor Override.


        Powertech

            Oil Slick now correctly costs no heat to activate.



Flashpoints and Operations



    Flashpoints


        Directive 7

            Bulwark’s Area of Effect cone abilities now properly fire in the direction Bulwark is facing.
            Some of Bulwark’s abilities were incorrectly susceptible to interruption. Bulwark is now immune to interrupts.


        The False Emperor

            Fixed a conversation that could cause the cinematic with Arkis Wode to function incorrectly.


        The Foundry

            Fixed an issue that could prevent the final fight in this Flashpoint from beginning after the cinematic.
            The final boss can no longer become stuck in an invulnerable state; there was still a small window where this could occur.


        The Red Reaper

            Lord Kherus now grants less experience.
            Some of Lord Kherus’s abilities have had their damage values adjusted to be more in line with the level of the Flashpoint.
            Players now enter into melee range with Lord Kherus in order to stop him from throwing crates.


    Operations


        Eternity Vault

            Players no longer randomly die in this Operation after being in Gharj’s lava.


        Karagga’s Palace

            Foreman Crusher’s enrage now includes a movement speed increase, allowing him to catch players who attempt to run.
            Fixed an issue that prevented the Materials Disposal Unit’s main control station from becoming useable again after the Operation Group is defeated by the G4-B3 Heavy Fabricator on 16-man Hard Mode.
            Fixed an issue that prevented the G4-B3 Heavy Fabricator from deploying the correct number of Proximity Pulse Mines and Security Stun Drones during combat.
            Karagga no longer snaps up above portions of the walls during combat.


    Bug Fixes


        General

            Fixed an issue that prevented some players in Operations Groups from receiving credit for the missions “[WEEKLY] Deadly Operations,” “[WEEKLY] Galactic Operations,” and “Journey to the Belsavis Depths.” The entire Operations Group now receives credit when the objective is completed.



Items


    Bug Fixes

        Comparative tooltips for researched items no longer have their stats reversed.



Missions and NPCs


    Missions


        Imperial

            Number One with a Bullet: Corrected an issue that prevented Bounty Hunters from leaving The Founder.
            The Eagle’s Nest: The Assassin’s Fortress mission is now correctly a prerequisite for this mission.
            The Mandalorian Killer: Thendys Noori no longer continues to heal Kellian Jarro after she has surrendered.


        Republic

            Death Spiral: Fixed an issue that prevented Jedi Knights who completed the Commander Rayfel encounter from using the shuttle back to Belsavis Orbital Station.



PvP


    Warzones

        Fixed an issue that could prevent players from receiving mission rewards for completing Warzones.



Space Combat


    General

        Added two daily mission commendations to the high-level space dailies Operation Ascendant Pride (Imperial) and Operation New Eclipse (Republic).



UI


    General

        Attempting to loot an item in a group when the Master Looter is off-planet now generates an error message.

Miscellaneous Bug Fixes

        Special items related to different editions of the game have been re
        sent if they were deleted by the mail system prior to being claimed.
