STAR WARS™: The Old Republic™ News

• Time: 7:30am CT / 12:30pm UTC
  
• Estimated downtime: 4 hours
  

A full list of patch notes will be available on August 19th here, however, we did want to highlight a few items beforehand.

Servers

• All transfer restrictions to the Shae Vizla server will be removed.
  

7.5.1 download size

• We have fixed the issue regarding the “Disorder” trailer triggering. As it is now included to kick off the Legacy of the Sith expansion story content. Additionally, we have fixed some audio issues for the “Sacrifice” trailer.
  
• These changes could add roughly 2GB to 7.5.1’s download size for some players.
  

General

• Conquest Rewards for Personal and Guild Weekly Conquest will be limited to a single pending reward of each type.
  
  • As a result, any pending rewards should be claimed prior to the patch release.
    
  • Any future rewards need to be claimed before the next Weekly completion of the same type or they will not be awarded.
    

Basilisk Prototype Venture

• Completing B3-S1's story missions will reward players with items which raise her influence rank.
  
  • These items will allow B3-S1’s influence to increase to 30 by the end of the Venture.
    
  • Players who have already completed the story missions will find these items available at the HK/Astromech vendor. These items will only increase BE-S1’s influence to 30.
    
• B3-S1 companions that are claimed from Collections will no longer have their influence reset when a player visits Lane’s lab on Ruhnuk for the first time.
