Dev Post EricMusco Posted August 30, 2017 Author Dev Post Share Posted August 30, 2017 Heading it off at the pass, we will post what is changing before the end of the day. Working on finalizing a few things and then I will get the changes edited into the post above. Formal patch notes will go live tomorrow. Thanks everyone. -eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagaimee Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Thanks so much for the heads-up (and for your hard work in testing the patch). Here's hoping everything goes well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eshvara Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I take it this is a fix for the cxp bug that daylies give? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dscount Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I take it this is a fix for the cxp bug that daylies give? LOL - Most likely. FUN was detected by the Balance Guy in the backroom. Time to grind now before removed. @ERIC - thanks for the heads up! Appreciate the communications in advance.

UlaVii Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Does this mean that conquest is about to be reset again mid-week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKtheindomitable Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I take it this is a fix for the cxp bug that daylies give? As much as I hope not, it is most likely. This bug actually gave me a reason to do dailies again. It also is a relief on the gear grind. But then again, I don't do much of the big stuff, so the extent of the grind is more my fault.

Yeah, I also saw some people grouping for daylies again and seeing usually abandoned planets have activity. O welp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev Post EricMusco Posted August 30, 2017 Author Dev Post Share Posted August 30, 2017 Planned fixes have been added to the main post above. Thanks! -eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandamanno Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Oh, man I hope they don't bring those back down ~80 again. I just had the bug where I lost all my light side points so I can't use my cool new sounding lightsaber anymore. If they nerf the new daily amount I think I may just stop playing altogether.

dandamanno Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Planned fixes have been added to the main post above. Thanks! -eric Ah so you are going to fix it. I agree that the 1200CP was too much, along with the CXP event and the CXP booster you can get on the fleet I was netting nearly 3500CXP per daily. But really, 75 CXP? That is simply too little. I hope you reconsider that amount and at least double it up to around 200 CXP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliushorst Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Can we hope that it'll not reset our conquest like it happened the last time with non-Tuesday patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfdawg Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Hopefully conquest won't be reset this time. This seems to be rather problematic every time maintenance is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rycyyn Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Has there been any word on the new holo statue decorations? Once you place them down you can't interact with the hook they're on. The reset decoration option also doesn't pick them up. Any idea when he can expect a fix on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMasterNishmo Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I don't suppose we could also get word on whether or not we'll see an increase in the maximum allowed strongholds so people who love their strongholds can also have the Umbara one?

RagnarAugustus Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I take it this is a fix for the cxp bug that daylies give? Too bad, because people are actually running dailies again with the CXP boost and we could level up alts again without the massive Korean style grind fest.

supertimtaf Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Ah so you are going to fix it. I agree that the 1200CP was too much, along with the CXP event and the CXP booster you can get on the fleet I was netting nearly 3500CXP per daily. But really, 75 CXP? That is simply too little. I hope you reconsider that amount and at least double it up to around 200 CXP. They only nerfed the Iokath daily. They said that they didn't know how to do it on the other daily area, but I thing that it is because Iokath daily are way more numerous than the other area. They said that they weren't nerfing the other for now, and seeing the success of this massive buff they were considering a way to implement it on a more softer balance, by making it still present and available for peoples to enjoy these. Congrats BW, I don't know if this bug was intended or not, but this sure made peoples happy about your system. Maybe there is still hope for this game.

orangenee Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) Psssst! It's 31 August, 13:30 and, well, no update. What? I've yet to see them be punctual with the server maintenance periods. It always starts late and finishes early or vice versa. Edited August 31, 2017 by orangenee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
