    Game Update 1.5 PTS Patch Notes

    Last Updated: 10/11/2012


    The patch notes published for the Public Test Server are not final and are subject to change. The Public Test Server Patch Notes will be provided in English. The final release notes will be provided in English, French, and German when the content is moved to live servers.



    Highlights
    Travel to Section X on Belsavis and learn why the nefarious Dread Guard has seized control of this ravaged sector of the planet! Section X can be accessed on Belsavis and via the daily mission shuttles.

    HK-51 can now be acquired as a Companion Character! A shipment of the infamous assassin droids can be found in the wreck of an Imperial transport ship, The Fatality, in Section X. Reactivating HK-51 requires finding and assembling parts from across the galaxy.

    Nightmare Mode is now available for Operation: Explosive Conflict! Bosses in Nightmare Mode present a new level of challenge, new mechanics, and high-quality rewards (such as a new vehicle and Dread Guard set pieces)!

    Dreadtooth, a new world boss, can be found roaming Section X. Each time Dreadtooth is defeated, he returns with a temporary, stacking power buff which increases his difficulty and the quality of his loot rewards.


    Group Finder
    Travelling to a new area while in a Group Finder queue no longer occasionally causes the UI to behave as if the player is not in the queue.


    Items
    Campaign armorings are now available for purchase on the Black Hole vendor for Black Hole Commendations.

    Dread Guard relics are now available on the Daily vendor for 300 Daily Commendations.

    A new set of droid armor is now available from the Daily vendor.

    More robes have been adjusted so that their backsides are not inappropriately large when worn.


    Miscellaneous Bug Fixes
    Several typos and instances of incorrect text have been corrected in all languages.

    The Imperial Medcenter in the vicinity of the wreck of the Ambria’s Fury has been moved Northeast.




    Almost forgot, no character copies to the PTS are being offered yet again. Have fun trying to test the new features by rolling a new character of using a vastly undergeared one from way back in the 1.2 testing...
