Rakata/Battlemaster changes are no longer valid.

Just heard about that. Hopefully it's a bug.

• Corrected an issue that allowed players to remain eligible for unlocked romance content after losing romance status with Mako.

I've seen a few of these in the notes. I wasn't aware you could lose romance after gaining it. Is there any way to tell if you've lost it? And/or is it possible to romance a different companion once lost?

Finally, is this tied to affection at all? I'd been at 10K affection with Mako, and finished her story (so far as I know), and have since dropped to ~9900 affection with her through the class missions. Obviously this affects crew skills, but how does it affect the actual companion?

I don't know from experience at this point, but I'm assuming you have to deliberately break up with your companion through a dialogue choice. In theory you could then initiate the romance arc with another companion, but that part is complicated by the fact that companion conversations are all non-repeatable (unlike other BioWare games where you can talk to a companion whenever you want, though they may not have anything to say).

Looks like 1.2 is finally coming this week!

So for anyone that didn't get to log in today after 1.2a patch and prior to 9:30 CST shutdown... LOL. The game had 'reverted' to 1.1.5. No Denova, White Crystal Vendor back in, etc. And there were reports of Agents not being in game for some. Like no chance of character creation for them.

[Masterkiller]

Yes, quite the fiasco...

This is what happens when you don't properly test your patches, and when you cut a major portion of the patch on such short notice.
