Bioware has released the patch notes for the latest update to their MMO ‘Star Wars the Old Republic’. The new fixes and tweaks alter some gameplay mechanics and add a few features.
One of the larger updates is to the Smuggler class, which will see a 5% increase in damage for Gunslingers and Sharpshooters. This includes the Charged Burst, Aimed Shot, Speed Shot, and Quickdraw abilities. Other classes that involve Snipers also saw an increase as well.
You friends can be added to your friends list, even if they are offline at that time. The ‘Rakghoul Plague’ event is now officially over as well, though Bioware has promised that more will be on their way.
On the PvP side of things, there have been some modifications as well. The cost for PvP consumables has been reduced to 10 commendations and the cost for Rated War Hero PvP gear has been reduced. This Bioware does state that this does not impact the time required to obtain base War Hero gear.
The list of minor tweaks and bugs fixes can be found on the official patch-notes page. The list is quite extensive, odds are if you had a problem in the past it may be fixed now.
