AEDT: 7pm to 1am Tuesday evening

AWST: 4pm to 11pm

NZDT: 9pm to 3am

Date: Tuesday, March 6th, 2012

Time: 2AM CST (12AM PST/3AM EST/8AM GMT/9AM CET) until 8AM CST (6AM PST/9AM EST/2PM GMT/3PM CET)

SWTOR Patch 1.1.5 notes

In what could be seen as a very encouraging sign, the notes for SWTOR patch 1.1.5 have been posted and it’s a much shorter list of changes this time. Read on for the whole shebang:

The Public Test Server patch notes will be provided in English. The final release notes will be provided in English, French, and German when the content is moved to live servers.
