• Players are limited to one active incubator unit per character. Incubators must be placed in a player structure to activate. Picking up the Incubator unit will cleanse any active experiments. The length of time between experimentation sessions is based on Incubator Functionality rating and purchased expertise boxes.  

• Make sure your pet is kept happy through craftable foods, tricks, and planetary travels. Keeping your pet happy in the long term will enable it to learn more abilities.

• All Beast commands that your beast is eligible for will be automatically added on the pet toolbar. Right click an ability to toggle it as an auto-repeating attack. The beast will perform the ability if it has enough action and the cool-down has expired. Two beast dispositions on this bar toggle your pet between defending you if attacked and ignoring attacks on the master. You must have training in Beast Master to use any ability beyond ‘stay’ and ‘follow.’

• Beasts level on the master gaining combat experience. The enemy NPC must con green or higher for the beast to gain experience. If you wish to keep your pet at their current growth level, use the radial option to toggle beast experience gain off.

• If your beast perishes in combat use the "Revive Beast" ability granted in the first expertise box of Beast Master.

• Calling a creature mount will now place you upon its back automatically. Dismounting from a creature mount will now auto-store the mount.

• All legacy pets in player datapads now have an option to "stuff" them for display in your home. Stuffed pets may also be used in the Incubation process if you wish them to live again. Stuffed pets receive bonuses in the Incubation process.

• After attempting to forage in a location, you must move at least 5m to another location before attempting forage again.
• After a successful forage, you cannot forage in that spot again this session (per character).
• You have a 50% chance to successfully forage an item and a 50% chance to get nothing.
• Foraged items include Bait, Lyase Enzymes, and Treasure Maps.

• The enemies scale to the combat level of the player attempting to extract the treasure unless the player is below or above the map max level.
• The enemies scale in number and combat level based on the player attempting to extract the treasure while in a group.
• The treasure extracted is actually valuable to players between the treasure min/max levels.
• Credits are not part of the extracted treasure and nothing is divided between the player and other group members (unless manually traded).

• Mounts/vehicles: You can no longer call a mount or vehicle while rooted.
• Vehicles: You can no longer enter a vehicle while rooted.

• Miss
• NPCs and players with ranged weapons in Auto-Aim mode have a base 5% chance to miss their target. Factors such as debuffs and movement increase the player’s chance to miss. Buffs and the strength stat reduce the chance to miss.
• The base miss chance for melee and Manual-Aim mode is 0%.
• Dodge
• Dodge is a defensive attribute that gives a chance to avoid incoming damage. On a successful roll, the attack will be treated as a miss and no damage will be applied.
• Block
• Block is a defensive attribute that has a chance to mitigate additional damage based on the defender’s block score. Block mitigation is applied after armor so it is possible to reduce incoming damage to 0 with a high enough Block Value.
• Parry
• Parry is a melee defensive attribute that will allow the defender to negate a successful attack. Normal parry can only block other melee attacks, though Lightsaber weapons can parry ranged attacks as well.
• Strikethrough
• Strikethrough is a type of critical which instead of adding damage will bypass a percentage of your target’s armor. The Strikethrough amount is based on the attacker’s Strikethrough Value.
• Evasion
• Evasion is a defensive attribute that will allow the target to avoid a percentage of damage from an Area Effect attack. The amount of percentage evaded is determined by the defender’s Evasion Value.
• Punishing Blow
• A punishing blow is a type of critical only available to NPCs that do 150% damage. Elite and Boss category NPCs (as well as those higher level than the player) can land a punishing blow.

• The damage reduction from a glancing blow has been reduced from 96% to 60%. In addition, Elite and Boss category NPCs (as well as those higher level than the player) have a natural chance to receive a glancing blow.

• The Commando heavy weapon attribute Devastation damage bonus has been reduced from 200% to 150%.
• Heavy Weapons
• Base Heavy Weapon damage has been reduced from 115% to 100%.

• Damage caused by Damage Over Time (DoT) effects are now reduced via armor protections as indicated below:
• Bleeding - Cold Protection
• Poison - Acid Protection
• Disease - Cold Protection
• Fire - Heat Protection
• Acid - Acid Protection
• Energy - Electricity Protection
• There is now a secondary resistance check on each DoT "tick" that will give a chance to resist for partial damage.
  

• Bleeding - Recon Armor
• Poison - Battle Armor
• Disease - Recon Armor
• Fire - Assault Armor
• Acid - Assault Armor
• Energy - Battle Armor

• The Player vs. Player damage reduction has been reduced from 25% to 0%.

• Bonus is a straight percent. If you craft a supplement that had 500, that means the beast will get 500% bonus.

Hello everyone,

Thanks for the **edit** you’ve given us over the past couple of weeks. Now, we’d like to have you focus on some of the smaller pet peeve type bugs
that are bothering you. With that in mind, please switch gears moving
forward and try to give us some smaller scale ones (instead of some of
the ones you’ve already voiced to us like npcs shooting thru walls,
engines on POB ships, Mustafar graphics etc . . . ).

We’d like to ask that you post one bug that bothers you more than the others. Just one and only one. If someone else posts a bug that you were going to post feel free to still post it as your choice also.

Please post in this format:

Short name for bug:

Short description for bug:

• If your post is about a special ability, please include your Profession and the name of the special ability.  (saying "my special doesn't work" doesn't help us)
• If
  your post concerns rubberbanding, please try and include what you were
  doing at the time, your location, and any other information that may
  help us reproduce it.
  

Short reason why it bothers you:



Remember,
this is not a discussion thread. Just post your one bug. You can only
post one time in this thread.  Any spamming, trolling, discussions, or
other unconstructive posts in this thread will be removed and possible
loss of forum permissions will result.
