SWTOR Game Update 1.2 Patch Notes: Companion Characters

Now some goodness on companion characters:

Companion Characters

General

• Companion gifts are now stackable.
• The cooldown associated with giving companions gifts has been removed. Giving a gift now has a 3-second activation time.
• Several game areas where Companion Characters would not reliably follow the player have been fixed.
• The C2 Droid Corporation and their competitors, the 2V Droid Corporation, have developed a series of new sensors for their products, the C2-N2 and 2V-R8 that significantly improve the Droids’ Crew Skill efficiency and critical success chances. These products may be purchased via the Legacy Repair Astromech unit on the player’s ship (once unlocked).
• Additionally, the C2-N2 and 2V-R8 Droids have had their personality matrices upgraded with an experimental emotional response chip, allowing them to accept gifts and tokens of appreciation. The Crew Skill performance of these units will increase upon acceptance of these goods.
• C2-N2 and 2V-R8 have been reprimanded and now vocalize less frequently on personal starships.
• Tooltips for the companion abilities “Burst,” “Aimed Blast,” “Swipe,” “Wild Energy,” and “Blaster Sweep” now correctly reflect ability functionality.
• All companion marriages are now removed appropriately if the marriage ends.
• Corrected an issue that caused weapons to display inappropriately beneath some Droid companions (like T7).
