Servers are back up after today's scheduled maintenance period. Today's patch includes some fixes to the CS system and level 10 restrictions, puts a few items on sale on the Cartel Market, and adds a new armor set to the Cartel Market.
Full patch notes and sceenshots of the new armor can be found after the jump.
UPDATE: Apparently today's patch has reintroduced the bug where companions are not getting stat benefits from their equipped gear any time they spawn. (ie, when logging into the game, after dismounting, or when switching companions.) Unequipping their gear and re-equipping it appears to be a workaround for now, as the stats do then get applied. BioWare has commented that they're looking into the issue:
There is currently an issue with companion stats not working properly with their equipped gear. This occurs whenever a companion is summoned after being dismissed. As a workaround to this, please unequip all gear on your companion, and then re-equip all of their gear again in order to get their proper stats back. You will need to do this whenever you summon your companion.
Please know that this is a priority issue for us and that we are working to resolve it as quickly as possible.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Posted 11/28/2012 10:11:18 AMWhy another flight suit? There are two each on Republic and Imperial side from the fleet comm vendors!
Do the graphics/costume designers at EA/Bioware truly hate MMO gamers that much? Between sock hats for smugglers, pope hats and 1920s football masks for inquisitors/consulars, and the deep-sea diver bell helmets for troopers/bounty hunters, it would appear that these jackasses like to make us look stupid.
PLEASE... create gear you would want to wear and the community wants. We want a han solo set for smugglers, a jango fett look for bounty hunters, a satele shan look for jedi knights and an obiwan kenobi clone wars look for guardians.

Posted 11/27/2012 5:48:27 PMIt should be fixed, but in the meantime for your 2nd point, you can just disband and reform the group to fix that issue. It's caused my sharing quests, grouping with people in different locations, and a few other random things. Drop and reform, problem solved :)
