Wheezal

some pretty good stuff here:

Profession: Droid Engineer

* All droid modules will work properly.

Wearables

* Some helmets (such as AT-AT Helmet, Black Sun Ace Fighter Helmet, Imperial Ace Fighter Helmet, Privateer Ace Fighter Helmet, Rebel Ace Fighter Helmet, Tie Pilot Helmet, and Tusken Raider Helmet) have been reclassified as clothing so can be worn without incurring armor penalty or being prevented from wearing the item.
* In cases where the game would occasionally think a character is wearing armor, and they are not wearing any armor, but an armor penalty is applied will no longer happen.

Nice I can start doing NPC bounties again Unlike some I actually enjoy them alot.

Lots of nice fixes in this patch. The "Cone of death" affect from Jedi was really rare but when it happened it really sucked. Typically jedi powers don't bother me because I engage outside 40m and do my best to stay there But in PVP sometimes they manage to close. And losing 10 guys to a bug sucked

Profession: Droid Engineer

* All droid modules will work properly.

Hey... we can dream

Wepps

I think this is a dream too.

**Bounty Hunters should no longer be prevented from attacking their NPC bounty targets.**

I think this was cut-and-pasted from any of a dozen or so earlier patch notes hehe.

If they fixed it though, more power to them.

I enjoy the NPC bounties too, when they are working.

Erillion

* Bounty Hunters should no longer be prevented from attacking their NPC bounty targets.

Profession: Droid Engineer

* All droid modules will work properly.

    ( I believe it when I tested it :-)

Profession: Smuggler

* Slicing components will now auto-stack.

   YEAH BABY YEAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!

* Slicing Critical Damage will work correctly.

--> no one will ask for it anyway. All want damage :-)

Vehicles

* There is no longer a 15-45 second delay on calling vehicles.
* Disabled AV21's and Jetpacks can now be repaired at garages.

OH BEHAVE ! I can use my AV-21 more  (racetracks, here I come !!)

Wearables

* Some helmets (such as AT-AT Helmet, Black Sun Ace Fighter Helmet, Imperial Ace Fighter Helmet, Privateer Ace Fighter Helmet,

--> That helmet is one of the coolest pieces you can wear, especially on such a good looking Twilek like me :-)

--> Have fun, Erillion

Rebel Ace Fighter Helmet, Tie Pilot Helmet, and Tusken Raider Helmet) have been reclassified as clothing so can be worn without incurring armor penalty or being prevented from wearing the item.
* In cases where the game would occasionally think a character is wearing armor, and they are not wearing any armor, but an armor penalty is applied will no longer happen.

a LOT of people ask for Critical Hit slice.  and now that it should be working, i imagine more people will as well.

  I think it is almost humorous that yall mentioned all the good things and left out the Bigge

experience NERF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is now on test center almost 47 percent reduction

check it out create a toon go see...................

Wheezal

considering this post is about the patch notes *today*, that may expalin why we aren't discussing the XP nerf that isn't part of the patch on this thread.

as for what "we mentioned",  all i did was copy and paste the notes from the official forums.

if the big impending XP nerf is a big deal (and i personally think it is) then it probably belongs in it's own topic.

Wepps

I'd swear I didn't receive a patch file today.

Were all the changes server side?

Obraik

These patch notes are for test center   You'll see them on Live in about 2 weeks or so

I didn't get a patch too, probably correct Wepps, must be server side..?

madazz

Is that experience nerf for real? They wouldnt would they? Its already such a boring grind. Ive already made myself an awesome AFK macro for grinding. I know alot of people complain about it. But how about make the earlier game more fun before I burn out? lol.... sooo many meatlump corpses. If they do this then I am going to leave my pc on for days grinding and if they don't like it then well... you know lol.

One thing in the patch that looked attractive beyond the others already commented on, is the no more 15-45 second delay on calling vehicles... wonder if its true. Ive been on all night so I havent seen any word for a patch. (in game when I try the timer is still there).

The numbers are not the final numbers that will be going live.  It's been said they are lower than intended.
