Group Finder

• The Group Finder no longer displays multiple “Travel Now” dialogs when the group searches for a replacement while a player has the “Travel Now” dialog open already.
• Categories that player has not queued for no longer appear in the “Queued For:” tooltip.
• The Group Finder button is no longer visible when a player logs out of a higher-level character and back in to a character that is lower than level 10 (and therefore unable to use the Group Finder).
• A confirmation dialog now informs players that they will need to start the content over again if they leave the “Find Replacement” queue.
• Athiss, Mandalorian Raiders, The Red Reaper, Colicoid War Game, Cademimu, and Hammer Station can now be queued for even if the player already has the associated mission.
• A tooltip on the Warzone “Join Queue” button now informs players that they cannot queue for a Warzone while engaged in Group Finder content.
• Group leaders can now queue for a replacement player if group leadership was transferred manually after a group member quit or was vote-kicked.

Items

• Augment slots in items crafted before 1.3 that have not been manually upgraded by players are now the appropriate tier based on the level of the item (if no augments are installed) or the level of the augment that is currently installed in the augment slot.

The galaxy is in turmoil. War rages across countless worlds as Republic and Imperial forces struggle for control of critical resources. Amidst the chaos, threats emerge from all sides. The planet Denova, known for its extensive deposits of baradium ore, has been seized by a band of mercenaries and veteran Imperial defectors with mysterious motives. If they are not dislodged, the explosive arsenal they can create will give them the power to destroy any armed force – Republic or Imperial. On Corellia, a corrupt councilor attempts to maximize hypermatter profits by playing both sides of the conflict, and the crazed mastermind behind the Rakghoul outbreak, discovered on Ord Mantell, continues to threaten the lives of all sentient beings in the galaxy…

Classes and Combat

Combat Ability Responsiveness

• Further improved response time for ability activation requests, especially in low-framerate situations.
• The activation bar now appears at the correct time (when the activation of an ability begins) and disappears when activation is complete.
• Instant combat abilities no longer occasionally start their combat animations twice, resulting in jerky behavior on the executing player’s client.
• The display of the floating text from instant healing abilities is no longer delayed by the animation on the client and now properly reflects the time the effect happens on the server.
• Abilities on cooldown are now more easily distinguished from abilities that can be used.
