Patch 5.6.1 hits on Tuesday and one of the highlights is some tuning to the new Copero flashpoint.
Here are the current patch notes for these changes in 5.6.1 (still subject to change, check on Monday for the final).
Bosses have had their health significantly reduced in both Story and Solo Mode.
The damage done by bosses has been reduced in both Story and Solo Mode.
Bosses have had their health slightly reduced in both Veteran and Master Mode.
The number of enemies has been reduced throughout the Flashpoint.
The Guardian Droid will no longer instant cast their Mortar Volley ability.
The Copero Security Droid will no longer instant cast their Seeker Missile ability.
Also, of note for Tetsemi, who loves his dailies
5.6.1 - The lack of that Daily Mission means you actually get less CXP than you did previously from the Daily areas, which is not something we want. In fact, we want you to get a lot more CXP from solo Missions in the game. In Game Update 5.6.1 all of the Planetary Heroic Missions and Daily Area Missions are going to have their CXP rewards tripled to 225 CXP per Mission (up from 75).
Our goal with this change is that both Planetary Heroics and Daily Area Missions are great sources of CXP for solo players. These changes in 5.6.1 along with all of the other increased rewards for both group and solo in Activity Finder means you can gain Command Ranks quicker than ever in whatever activities you choose to play.
Check for the final patch notes on Monday here - http://www.swtor.com/patchnotes/
Also, starting Tuesday until the end of the year, they are having a Double XP, CXP, and Valor event. This was supposed to happen with the launch of 5.6, but some bits got misplaced and are now in order.
