So out of 10, how do you rate 1.3?

4/10 Only content that was added was Ranked Warzones. The rest are just quality of life upgrades. Don't get me wrong, I know they're useful to some, but they don't even have Nightmare EC out 3 months after 1.2 was released.
They messed up class balance even more and they fail at basic math (see Biochem Warzone Adrenal Cost). This patch isn't awful, it does add to the game. However, for three months of development on content that they already had a large head start on (Legacy and Ranked Warzones) I am unimpressed.

I know they work hard and I know MMOs are hard to run, but after watching patch after patch and mistake after mistake I wonder if they shouldn't have gone down this road. I have a feeling this is not going to end well.

It's not all their fault though, I keep coming back. Every time I come back to this game I have such high hopes. Every time Bioware finds some way to pee in my Kool-Aid. Thanks Bioware. HOWEVER, to be fair this patch just hit, this is my initial knee jerk reaction. I may change my mind after a week or so, even if I don't believe I will now.

Ill rate it an 8 out of 10. Group Finder and Ranked Warzones are a great step forward but ive encountered quite a few frustrating bugs
Eathos - Commando | Norzrik - Guardian
Kezron - Scoundrel | Ashinelle - Shadow

So its a 10 on helping out the low enders run the game better.
It has definitely aided in making the game run better for the computers, but I'm still getting intermittent lag spikes and increase overall delay when I'm in groups or close to people killing stuff.

All my tinytoons have speeders & I'm gouging my little heart out selling augments. Game seems smooth & stable. I have yet to mess around with group finder but the gossip i'm getting back is that it's fine.

I'm bracing myself for them to decide something needs to be urgently fixed (anyone's relics broken? no? damn... wait.. some augment slots are broken you say? sounds impossible to live 7 days without, power those servers down boys!!).

So I'm expecting them to piss me off by pulling the servers down in oceanic primetime another night or two this week though.

But so far, so good. 7 or 8.
0.00008 light speed? But that's only a lousy 86,000 kph!

Look at their post history and you will see that there is nothing that these developers can do to make them happy. I'm guessing that, like many of their complaints, they have not even tried any of the new features.

This patch is pretty epic. We have further graphics setting (that helped me greatly). We have group finder. Ranked warzones. My level 10's are now riding speeders for a mere 5k more then they would pay 15 levels later. We can augment. There are a whole boatload of new perks for legacy.

Are you kidding me? This is 8 out of 10 easy. Maybe even a 9.....except for the chronic complainers....

3 full instances of fleet + 4th instance = 750 + 4th. On Freedon Nadd 5mins after SWTOR's Twitter post that servers were up. Was running much more smoothly than before.

So, please, stop making assumptions when you're not even online.

My fps has also shot up and on very high and as for not prime time we dont get that much more than 200 on fleet and fps is still really good so i would also give it a 10/10 !!!

About 250 on mine. Prior to the patch, with anything over 180 I was stuttering. Hardly noticeable right now.

Maybe we need to pass out some cheese with all those whines. ;p

Glad to hear about the optimizations. My 6670 was able to crank out most settings on High (with the exceptions of Shadows and AA). Maybe I'll be able to dial up the settings a bit.
