The Star Wars: The Old Republic Website has details on a new patch for BioWare's new Force-powered MMORPG that's live on the PTR (thanks VG247). On a related note, The Star Wars: The Old Republic Forums have more on plans to patch ability delays going forward (thanks Graham). Here's word from Technical Design Director Emmanuel Lusinchi:

During the development of Star Wars: The Old Republic, we’ve been paying a lot of attention to the game’s responsiveness. As pointed out by some people on the Forum, a very responsive experience is one of the factors that separate the best MMOs from the others. This is something we are fully aware of and take extremely seriously.

Several of the issues brought forth by the community have already been dealt with and you should see the fixes integrated in coming patches, including those coming this month. Every lead mentioned on the forum is being investigated and I cannot stress enough how useful your feedback is – especially when coupled with the level of details found in some of the posts.

So I’d really like to thank the community for this very constructive feedback.
