Darth Hater

BioWare took down the Public Test Server earlier today to deploy a new patch to Game Update 1.5. The patch includes changes to the Cartel Market, items, HK-51, and a few bug fixes. The notes in full are contained after the jump.

Patch Notes

Cartel Market and Free-to-Play

• The "Buy Augment Slot" button in the item modification station window no longer appears disabled if the player has the exact amount of credits required to purchase the slot.
• Free-to-Play players that purchase a Weekly Pass: Operations can now join the Group Finder queue for Operations correctly.
• The weekly Flashpoint loot roll counter now updates consistently for Free-to-Play players.

Items

• Investigator's Boots now have a Cartel Market symbol icon.
• The Carbonite Chamber now correctly restores the character’s resources (Energy, Force, etc).

Classes and Combat

• An animation issue that could cause incorrect clipping during combat has been corrected.

Companion Characters

HK-51

• Theoretika: Specimen Gamma 19 now reliably attacks nearby players at the start of the step to defeat him.

Flashpoints and Operations

• An issue that could cause bosses in Operations to respawn incorrectly or prevent them from spawning has been corrected.

UI

• The "Enable Focus Target" option has been removed. It can be accessed via the keybinding for focus target (default ALT+F).

Miscellaneous Bug Fixes

• Logging out before choosing a quick travel destination no longer allows players to use quick travel without cooldown.
