1.2.1 Patch Notes 4/24/2012

As always BioWare used today’s server maintenance to patch up. This time with the largest patch since 1.2. If you me, the most important issue corrected, is the issue that prevented players from adding offline players to their friends list. This makes it much easier to mail stuff to your alts.  Unfortunately still doesn’t seem to work for our own cross faction alts.

Classes and Combat

Jedi Knight

Sentinel
        • Zen (with Ataru Form) now correctly reduces the global cooldown of Cyclone Slash.

Smuggler

General
        • Charged Burst’s damage has been increased by approximately 5%.
Gunslinger
        • Damage for Aimed Shot, Speed Shot, and Quickdraw has been increased by approximately 5%.

Gunnery
        • Havoc Rounds now applies the correct healing increase to Kolto Bomb. It previously applied a smaller increase than intended.

Companion Characters

General

    • Companion quickslots now update correctly when a new companion is summoned, correcting an issue that could cause the previous companion’s abilities to continue displaying on the new companion’s hotbar.
    • Earpieces and implants now properly apply their stat bonuses when equipped on companions.

Flashpoints and Operations

Flashpoints

Lost Island
        • Resolved an issue that could cause Doctor Lorrick’s lab door to become stuck while closed when the fight was not active.
        • Players now appear on Project Sav’Rak’s platform after the encounter. This addresses an issue that could prevent players from completing the Flashpoint if all group members exited the area before using the bridge controls.

Character Creation

      • Corrected an issue that could cause insufficient Guild Bank funds for repairs or respecs to appear even if sufficient credits were available.
      • Players will no longer become “stuck” and unable to receive a guild invite if they were sent an invite just before entering a cinematic or while the loading screen is present.
