Star Wars: The Old Republic patched to version 1.0.1

All things considered, Star Wars: The Old Republic has had a pretty solid launch. Sure, there were problems – significantly long queue times both in-game and on the website, abnormally frequent maintenance and a few bugs here and there.

Most of the problems with queue times are slowly starting to fade away, and with Star Wars: The Old Republic patch 1.0.1 BioWare aims to improve the experience further by squashing some of the bugs.

There are a few balance changes as well, but the most notable one would be the Slicing nerf. As it was, Slicing was clearly broken, and so BioWare have adjusted it to be more in line with the game’s other professions.

Another patch is expected at some point next month as well. Not much is known about it at this point, but BioWare did say they’ll be adding in a new Flashpoint, as well as an expansion of the max-level Karagga’s Palace Operation.
