10/20/2022 Notes

Content

  • Adjusted the Force Golem’s available attacks. Bleeds, diseases, and poisons should now hit slightly less frequently.

Bug Fixes

  • Cleaned up some issues with berserk

10/19/2022 Notes

Content

  • Exar Kun balance pass. The instance was proving to still be a greater challenge than intended, so it has been adjusted for a better chance at player completion.
  • Adjusted a bug that allowed the Temple Guardians to forget that they had lightsabers and forego using lightsaber attacks

EiF Patch Notes 10/18/2022

Here are the notes for the patch released on 10/18/2022, featuring the long-awaited return of the Exar Kun Holiday Instance:

Content

  • The Temple of Exar Kun has returned!
    • Reports of disappearing archeologists have begun to swirl around a dark temple on Yavin 4. Others whisper about a shade haunting the temple – a shade that must be confronted before the temple’s depths can be plumbed.
    • Three players are required to begin the instance. The instance can be run once per day, per character. Take care in the depths of the temple – there are no cloning centers available.
    • The Temple of Exar Kun will only be accessible for a short time during the Halloween season. Conquer it to acquire unique, limited-time weapons and items! New loot has been added for 2022!

Bug Fixes

  • Scattergun specials now feature subtitles in the skill tree
  • The Scavenger’s Lightsaber has been fixed and now recolors as intended
  • Center of being modifiers should now be properly added to agnostic lightsabers.
