It's interesting the maintenance is 2 days in a row now yes, a major patch just dropped and I hate bug and lag issues too believe me but in retrospect when the game originally launched there was maintenance all the time. They just added 2 new planets, a new talent system and one time Solo flashpoints. That's a massive amount of content and unfortunately a lot to go wrong. I would rather have another maintenance window today than have to wait a week for a potentially game breaking bug to fixed.

Yes it's a pain but minus 2 hours for a better experience the rest of this week balances out in my book.

Apply this to Shadow of Revan early access week, where we had gamebreaking bugs that weren't fixed for a whole week and it just becomes hilariously sad.

Seriously though, if this is another 1-line patch note to fix a non-issue and you've prioritized as a hotfix that over the whole week of early-access bugs we had to endure...

I don't even know what to say.

how the hell can a comp fail on a mission with a +2 or 5 chance to crit and with full affection just shouldn;t happen

Lack of sentence structure notwithstanding, crafting/crew skills have a 10% (for orange difficulty) or 15% (for grey, green, etc) plus 5% at max affection, so 15%-20% plus 1%, 2% or 5% crit chance from the companion. So at best, missions have a 25% chance to crit (apparently the legacy perk doesn't affect missions) & if you're running the grade 11 missions, that'll be a max of 20% chance (since they're orange - 10% + 5% + up to 5%).

Maintenance windows

If the sales distribution is like most US AAA MMO games, the customer base is probably about half North America, a third Europe, and the remainder for APAC/ROW.

So while I can understand they choose their patch time when NA isn't playing, they happen to hit European lunchtime on every single occasion - which is when a lot of workers and students try to sneak in an hour. So I'm actually all for the APAC suggestion to move it forward 2 hours; 4 AM PST / 7 AM EST shouldn't lose BW a lot of player hours or sympathy points compared to APAC raid nights and Euro lunch.

All PvP Modifications sold on vendors are now Bind on Pickup. This includes Warzone and Ranked Warzone Modifications.

 

It was an exploit!
