Today’s maintenance window brought us a new patch.  This one has added multiple options for how the cooldown display looks (some folks didn’t like the flash that was added a couple patches ago).  I haven’t had a chance to look yet, but based on the preview we got from David Bass awhile back..I think the options should make just about everyone happy.

The patch also has another round of bug fixes, which, I’m sure we’ll be seeing for quite some time.  Now if they could just patch in a GTN interface that was more intuitive.

General

• The key formerly bound to /bug can now be mapped to any action and no longer opens the /bug window. The command is no longer able to be bound to a quickslot, but player can still type /bug in chat to open a new bug report.

Classes and Combat

 

General

• Using abilities with indirect targeting (such as area of effect abilities) will no longer cause players to be flagged for PvP if a PvP-flagged player from the opposing faction is within the ability’s range, and the ability will have no effect on the PvP-flagged player.

 

Imperial Agent

 

Operative

• Medical Therapy: Kolto Probe and Recuperative nanotech will now properly benefit from this skill.

 

Bounty Hunter

 

Powertech

• Carbonize: PvP armor for Combat Tech will no longer prevent this skill from stunning enemies.
