Test Center Update Notes, October 27th
Note: The game will now utilize up to 2GB of ram. Systems with more then 1GB of memory should see performance improvements during long play sessions.
Galactic Civil War
- Player Bases: Fixed an issue that was preventing new bases from being placed even if below the planetary cap.
- Doubled value of destroying a player placed GCW base.
- Increased planetary control value of some player placed GCW bases.
- Doubled average PvP region GCW point grant and increased player activity factor.
- Doubled daily PvP GCW point limit.
- Decreased space PvE GCW point per tier value to 4 from 6.
- Decreased value of an Elite faction NPC to 10 from 12.
- You must now be on the attacker list to receive credit for a PvE kill.
Loot
- DE-10 Pistol Barrels are now dropping with serial numbers once more. If you have one without a serial number, thus making it not usable in crafting the pistol, Customer Service can trade you a new one.
Quests
- Boba Fett's 5th and 6th quest can now be abandoned.
- Fixed Exploit with Boba Fett's quests
Space
- Credit for a space PvE or PvP kill will now be granted to the entire crew of a multi-player craft and not just the pilot.
User Interface
- Bug Fix: If you examine the character sheet of another character, the guild name of the character being examined will be displayed at the top of the character sheet.
The guild title of the character being examined will not be displayed at the top of the character sheet.
If you examine the character sheet of your own character, both the guild name and guild title of your own character will be displayed at the top of the character sheet.
Zham says - Regarding the reduction in space PVE GCW points, that translates into a 10 point loss for a Tier 5 kill. Instead of 30, you will get 20 points. Every 10 kills represents a 100 point loss in GCW points from what you should have had. What's even more interesting is that, until today SOE had 2 polls on the front page. 1 asked about what was stopping players from PVP'ing, the other was asking what game play people preferred to gain GCW. That second one had PVE content winning with 67% of the vote. That second poll is now gone. Seems like SOE wants to try and force people to do PVP, which they've said in a resounding fashion that they don't want to do.
