Patch 1.1.0b: Ability Delay

As part of todays regularily scheduled maintenance Bioware has loaded up patch 1.1.0b. Included in the update are fixes to Karagga's Palace, fleet performance optimizations, and the biggie ability delay.

The ability delay issue has been around for a while, and has recieved it's share of flack on the official forums prompting this response from Lead Combat Designer, George Zoeller. It's most notable (and Frustrating) in the fast paced world of PVP where timing your abilities and attacks is often the difference between the ganker and the ganked.

The Patch Notes in their entirety can be found after the break.

Karagga's Palace

• G4-B3 Heavy Fabricator will no longer respawn more than once if players have not defeated Karagga.

Miscellaneous Bug Fixes
