Minor bugfixes. Nothing really worthwhile. Never even experienced the majority of these issues they are supposedly fixing. Doesn't mean ofcourse that it doesn't bother others.

check under missions and nps's.

check under missions and nps's.

That is 1 quest , most ppl have much more then that one quest that they cannot abandon.

I beleive theres more than one bonus mission on tattoine. I understand it may be on other planets but if they are fixing one we can assume the rest ae not far behind.

Yeah I have 4 planets with gray quests...

You know what happens when you assume.

[viciouss]

That even if it turns out to not be the case the world keeps on turning?

[Gerion]

That surge nerf is going to hurt scoundrels and operatives pretty bad especially when they're pretty much an endangered species now.

• Fixed an issue causing players to not receive Warzone Win mission credit upon winning a Warzone match when the first player to enter the zone leaves the zone before the match concludes.

I always wondered what was causing this to happen. I've rarely run into this issue myself, but still, it has happened and always just seemed completely random. It's good to know they were able to find out what was the main cause of the problem and actually posting the reason. I would expect other games to leave out the "when the first player" when saying they solved the issue.

[*]Players no longer lose mouse click functionality in some circumstances after pressing multiple mouse buttons.[/list][/list]

Oh thank the Devs. This is the closest thing to a game breaker that has been annoying me personally.

"Oh look, push to talk in mumble + click on something = need to restart client." Very annoying.

I hope that's actually what I've been experiencing. I've only noticed it happening when I've tabbed out every once in awhile.

you know when that happens refreshing the UI fixes it ;p or at least it did for me....

myeh who cares one way or the other, they're fixin it

[mistuhbull]

I love the new fixes on balancing Imp v. Rep abilities

[ohnoto]

That is 1 quest , most ppl have much more then that one quest that they cannot abandon.

I have an optional class quest that I can't abandon from Act 1 or 2. I'm done with my class quest line...

On a side note, I like:
Some taxis that failed to re-summon companions upon reaching their destination now properly re-summon them.
Companions no longer indicate they wish to speak with you when you are not yet eligible for their next conversation.

[Verphix]

"Oh look, push to talk in mumble + click on something = need to restart client." Very annoying.

I don't know if you've tried it but when this happens to me, I can push the talk button again at the same time as left clicking and it works again. Granted its still annoying but its much better than resetting the game or UI.

Press Ctrl + U twice to reload UI ^_^

Surge nerf.. Will make sage/sorc even more op as they are not as crit dependant as others.

[Ap0calypse]

No "losing target" fix?

Also wish theyd do something to help acquiring targets. Tab fails so hard and the hit boxes of players and mobs are so tiny you have trouble mouse clicking them >.<
