Star Wars Galaxies test center update notes

The updated notes for the Star Wars Galaxies test center have been released. Lots of improvements and changes are set to take place in the near future, most notably some much needed combat changes. Very soon, we will no longer have to deal with large mobs repeatedly moving out of our combat range! Read the full set of testing notes at the link below.

These are items that are being prepared to be published on Live Galaxies in the future.

Combat

• Improved ranged attack calculations. Players should notice that they can use ranged attacks from the full distance away from a target.
• Large creatures in melee combat will no longer repeatedly move out of a player’s melee range.
• PvP Combat Only: If a player attacks another player with a Damage-Over-Time (DoT) effect, both the attacker and the defender will remain in combat mode for the duration of the DoT.
