Patch Notes: 1.3.1 7/3/12

Following this morning’s scheduled maintenance, players will have to download a new patch in order to continue playing Star Wars: The Old Republic. The majority of Patch 1.3.1’s changes involve the recently introduced Group Finder. For today’s patch deployment notes in full, hit the jump.

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 (Items and Economy)

General

  • Adaptive items now correctly display "Adaptive" in their tooltips.

Missions and NPCs

General

  • Implemented optimizations that improve performance in the Black Hole area on Corellia for many players. .

UI

Galactic Trade Network

  • Deleting the sell price of an item placed on the GTN no longer sets the value to "NaN.".

Groups and Targeting

  • The "healer" icon is no longer incorrectly displayed on Operation frames for groups that were not assembled by the Group Finder.

Miscellaneous Bug Fixes

  • Text that was missing from character creation for Twi'lek Imperial Agents in the French and German clients has been added.

    ya, I did lost island hm the first day it came out, finished it, everyone in my group got the daily comms but me, andI was unable to claim through the group finder menu. I submitted a ticket, and they replied with an answer telling me that you are supposed to select all the flashpoints for the tier you select to recieve your daily comms. This shows that they don't even:1. know their own game, 2. read the tickets. LI HM is the only flashpoint in its tier!

    Yeah, I suspect that BW doesn't play their own game for a while now... that's ridiculous and sad.

    :(

    Chuck, specifically that the GMs don't play, not the developers. :P

    If your not getting your black hole comms it''s because you are unchecking certain stuff it has to be completely random in order to get them.

    If you solo-queued and got a DPS it was because you had dps checked and didn't realize it. Like many dps do and don't realize healer is checked.

    Now the real bugs are, when you queue with multiple people it just randomly assigns healer to anyone in the group that can fulfill that role, regardless if they have ti checked or not.

    The point is, they are working on them, as you can see from the patch notes, they will get it fixed but it takes time.

    It was a 6-man queue for a random SM op, I only had healer checked (I had just completed a random flashpoint 15 minutes prior).  Half of us received the BH coms, half didn't.

    The bug you mention with randomly assigning people to heal applies to other roles as well.

    If they are going to implement the "mega servers" they better do it soon. Massive lag spikes while in any OP, especially Denova will kill a team.

    I was running my Hard FP daily yesterday and my chat was really laggy... like 7 seconds delay.

    If there's a fix for the lag in future, I doubt it would appear in the notes. They would more likely put that in a community blog. Though that's if there's something to fix behind it.
