Patch Notes Update 7.2.1 – 64-bit and New Seasons!

Some of my favorites not already described below are:

• Galactic Seasons dyes now stack (not in patch notes!)
• The PvP/Warzone button on the Utility bar now displays the correct message “You are in a queue for Warzone or Arenas” when the player who is not the leader of the group is in a queue.
• Players can now use the mouse wheel to adjust the minimap zoom.
• Enemies in combat are now correctly displayed on the Overlay Map.
• The outfit slots are now displayed in alphabetic order.
• Fixed several issues where the player’s character is holding an invisible weapon in cinematics.
• It is now possible to use mounts in the Mandalore’s Encampment area on Ruhnuk.
• Turrets are no longer floating on Alderaan, Belsavis, Makeb, and Tatooine.

Galactic Seasons 4

The new season of Galactic Seasons begins with the launch of Game Update 7.2.1. Like previous seasons, players can progress through the Free Reward track or the Subscriber Reward track (both tracks are available to Subscribers!) and earn new rewards, including the new Mek-Sha Safehouse Stronghold!

For this new season, players will team up with Amity, a Force-sensitive human who was raised by Selonians, to progress through the different Reward tracks. After a tumultuous career as a soldier in the Republic Army, Amity left his old life behind when he discovered his connection to the Force. Now, Amity has embarked on a journey to share his philosophy of peace and cooperation across the galaxy.
