The changes in SWTOR 7.2a are almost exclusively focused on fixing endgame gearing bugs that were caused by changes made in 7.2.
The most notable of these fixes is that gear upgrade crates from completing weeklies no longer provide Implants. This means you won’t have to choose between equipping 334 legendary implant and a 336 regular implant since non-legendary implants are far inferior to Legendary Implants even if they have a higher item rating.
In addition, it sounds like the new Family of the First Seed Lightsaber and Dualsaber are going to be fixed, though as far as I know, some players were prevented from purchasing those weapons entirely, so it’s unclear if that is part of the fix to add VFX to the weapons.
BioWare also reiterated that they already fixed the issue with PvP Season progress resetting after being logged out for at least 1 hour, so PvP Seasons are now working correctly.
7.2a brings a quality of life (QoL) improvement for endgame solo players too. The weekly cap for Conquest Commendations and Daily Resource Matrices will be increased from 1500 to 2500, meaning that is how many you can earn in a week so the max and weekly caps now match.
