Under typical conditions, matchmaking will try not to place more than two tanks or healers on the same team in a Warzone or one tank or healer for an Arena.
Matchmaking will always do its best to balance the number of tanks and healers on each team. If there are two healers, each team will receive one if possible; the same is true of tanks.
In situations where there are an odd number of tanks / healers, matchmaking will do its best to place the combined number of tanks and healers evenly (example: there are three healers and one tank, matchmaking will attempt to make the teams two healers vs one tank and one healer).
Matchmaking will more strongly take player skill into account when making teams.
Premade groups queuing for Ranked and Unranked Warzones and GSF will now have their matchmaking skill based on the highest rated member, not the team’s average rating.
Galactic Starfighter matchmaking has been improved to better account for player experience along with their currently selected ship loadout.

New in Star Wars: The Old Republic Online Client 5.1 (Jan 25, 2017)

New Chapter Difficulty - Master! Earn new Achievements with this new way to experience the Knights of the Fallen Empire and Knights of the Eternal Throne Chapters!
New Uprisings! Jump into the action with five new Uprisings across the galaxy!
Trench Runner - Republic Loyalists under the command of General Amos Rike have displaced Alliance forces on Denova and seized control of the baradium mines. Efforts to reclaim the mines have been thwarted by Republic artillery bombarding the "no man's land" between the Alliance beach head and the central processing facility. But where an army fails, a small team could succeed in navigating the battlefield trenches and taking out the Republic defenses.
Destroyer of Worlds - Jedi Master Adelade is trying to awaken a dangerous abomination that has hibernated beneath the surface of Makeb for millennia. No records exist of this monstrosity, known only as Gethul. But if the creature awakes, it may be strong enough to destabilize Makeb's core and obliterate the planet. Infiltrate the underground tunnel, secure the explosives and deliver the payload to Gethul's lair. Only then can you destroy the monstrosity and save Makeb from Adelade's deranged plan.
Divided We Fall - Rogue Coruscant security agents are plotting a false flag operation. They intend to attack the Senate Tower and plant false evidence in the hopes of inciting the Republic to war against the Alliance. Intel has traced the mastermind behind the plan, Commander Kalin, a former Republic veteran to a hidden base inside the The Works on Coruscant's lower level.
Landing Party - Deserters from the Zakuulan military were tracked to Rakata Prime. Under the leadership of the former Battalion Commander Tassar, they are building a new and improved Star Fortress. Infiltrate their surface camp and eliminate Commander Tassar before her operations threaten galactic security.
Trial and Error - Working from a hidden space station lab, a rogue group of Republic scientists led by Doctor Alirra Semhess has developed an experimental adrenal. The adrenal, code named RS-33, radically augments a subject's strength and agility at the expense of mental faculties.
Left unchecked, Doctor Semhess and her colleagues could mass-produce RS-33 and create an army of unstoppable abominations to wreak havoc across the galaxy.

New Togruta customization options have been added! These are available to all players via Character Select or Appearance Modification Stations.
Classes + Combat:
Jedi Consular:
Sage:
Benevolence now has a base cost of 70 Force (up from 55 Force) and heals for slightly more (.49%).
Rejuvenate now has a base cost of 40 Force (up from 30 Force) and heals for a bit more (4.94% for the instant heal, and 3.70% for the heal over time.).
Force Armor now has a base cost of 45 Force (up from 35 Force) and absorbs slightly more damage (1.43%).
Seer:
Designer Note: Seer Sages are presently exceptional healers who outperform the other healing disciplines in the game and create unbalanced PvE and PvP scenarios. By increasing the Force costs of heals—and counterbalancing the cost increase with a slight healing boost—we are leveling the healing potential of the Seer Sage to better fit alongside other healing disciplines and combat encounters witnessed in game.
Some may wonder why we did not just increase the healing capabilities of the other healing disciplines in the game to match that of the Seer Sage. In this instance, we could not do that because all of the combat math for the game (both PvE and PvP) is balanced around the current healing capabilities of the other healing disciplines. So if we were to increase the healing capabilities of the other healing disciplines to match the healing capabilities of the Seer Sage, then healing would be more effective than intended, which would cause problems in both PvE and PvP.
We decided to increase Force costs and slightly improve the strength of individual healing abilities in this balancing initiative to prevent Seer Sages from feeling impotent following these changes. Burst healing should feel like what is on Live, yet the sustained healing experience will be notably decreased. This design lowers the average healing output of the Seer Sage to better match other healing disciplines while still allowing the Sage’s individual heals to make an impact.
Deliverance now has a base cost of 45 Force (up from 37) and heals for a bit more (3.25%).
Healing Trance now has a base cost of 60 Force (up from 48) and heals for a bit more (4.04%).
Salvation now has a base cost of 75 Force (up from 60).
Wandering Mend now has a base cost of 65 Force (up from 50) and heals for slightly more (1.28%).
The healing done by Renewal has been increased (by 3.70%) to match the healing done by the heal over time portion of Rejuvenate.
Clairvoyance now increases your bonus healing by 3% (down from 5%)
Balance:
The radius of Force in Balance has been reduced to 5 meters (down from 8 meters).Designer Note: Force in Balance’s instant AoE damage and DoT spread potential is currently too effective in PvE and PvP. We are reducing the radius to 5 meters to match all other instant damaging AoE abilities in game.
Focused Insight now increases the life redistributed by Weaken Mind and Sever Force by 10% (down from 25%).Designer Note: Balance Sage self-healing is currently too effective in PvE and PvP scenarios. We’ve reduced the life redistributed by Weaken Mind and Sever Force to better match the self-preservation of similar disciplines.
Fixed an issue where Mind’s Eye allowed one Sage's Weaken Mind effect to cause any Sage's Force Serenity damage to be increased on that target.
Shadow:
Serenity:
The radius of Force in Balance has been reduced to 5 meters (down from 8 meters).
Sith Inquisitor:
Sorcerer:
Dark Heal now has a base cost of 70 Force (up from 55 Force) and heals for slightly more (.49%).
Resurgence now has a base cost of 40 Force (up from 30 Force) and heals for a bit more (4.94% for the instant heal, and 3.70% for the heal over time.).
Static Barrier now has a base cost of 45 Force (up from 35 Force) and absorbs slightly more damage (1.43%).
Corruption:
Designer Note: Corruption Sorcerers are presently exceptional healers who outperform the other healing disciplines in the game and create unbalanced PvE and PvP scenarios. By increasing the Force costs of heals—and counterbalancing the cost increase with a slight healing boost—we are leveling the healing potential of the Corruption Sorcerer to better fit alongside other healing disciplines and combat encounters witnessed in game.
Some may wonder why we did not just increase the healing capabilities of the other healing disciplines in the game to match that of the Corruption Sorcerer. In this instance, we could not do that because all of the combat math for the game (both PvE and PvP) is balanced around the current healing capabilities of the other healing disciplines. So if we were to increase the healing capabilities of the other healing disciplines to match the healing capabilities of the Corruption Sorcerer, then healing would be more effective than intended, which would cause problems in both PvE and PvP.
We decided to increase Force costs and slightly improve the strength of individual healing abilities in this balancing initiative to prevent Corruption Sorcerers from feeling impotent following these changes. Burst healing should feel like what is on Live, yet the sustained healing experience will be notably decreased. This design lowers the average healing output of the Corruption Sorcerer to better match other healing disciplines while still allowing the Sorcerer’s individual heals to make an impact.
Dark Infusion now has a base cost of 45 Force (up from 37) and heals for a bit more (3.25%).
Innervate now has a base cost of 60 Force (up from 48) and heals for a bit more (4.04%).
Revivification now has a base cost of 75 Force (up from 60).
Roaming Mend now has a base cost of 65 Force (up from 50) and heals for slightly more (1.28%).
The healing done by Renewal has been increased (by 3.70%) to match the healing done by the heal over time portion of Resurgence.
Penetrating Darkness now increases your bonus healing by 3% (down from 5%)
Madness:
The radius of Death Field has been reduced to 5 meters (down from 8 meters). Designer Note: Death Field’s instant AoE damage and DoT spread potential is currently too effective in PvE and PvP. We are reducing the radius to 5 meters to match all other instant damaging AoE abilities in game.
Parasitism now causes Affliction and Creeping Terror to heal you for 10% of the damage they deal (down from 25%). Designer Note: Madness Sorcerer self-healing is currently too effective in PvE and PvP scenarios. We’ve reduced the life stolen by Affliction and Creeping Terror to better match the self-preservation of similar disciplines.
Fixed an issue where Devour allowed one Sorcerer's Affliction effect to cause any Sorcerer's Force Leech damage to be increased on that target.
Assassin:
Hatred:
The radius of Death Field has been reduced to 5 meters (down from 8 meters).
Trooper:
Explosive Round now has a base range of 10 meters (down from 30 meters).
High Impact Bolt now has a base range of 10 meters (down from 30 meters).
Vanguard:
Designer Note: Vanguard ranged potential is currently too strong for a class that is intended to be played as a close-quarters combatant. Vanguards are melee assault specialists and should be encouraged to engage their targets in close proximity. By reducing the range of Explosive Round and High Impact Bolt, we place the Vanguard’s range potential closer to its design as a close-quarters combatant and further define their unique style in various combat scenarios. Commandos maintain their 30-meter range through our reintroduction of “Mass Accelerator.”
Entangling Tools now reduces the movement speed of targets affected by Tactical Surge, Ion Pulse, and Explosive Surge for 3 seconds (down from 6 seconds). Designer Note: The Vanguard’s suppressive potential is currently a little too impressive with the Entangling Tools Utility. In its current iteration, players fleeing from Vanguards are far too susceptible to suffering a perpetual state of reduced movement under the effects of Entangling Tools. To better the player experience and balance Vanguard target control potential, we have reduced the duration of movement speed reduction provided by Entangling Tools.
Guard Cannon now heals you for 3% (down from 5%) of your total health when damaging a target with Shoulder Cannon. Designer Note: Vanguard survivability currently surpasses the survivability of similar classes. We are reducing the effectiveness of Guard Cannon to bring the class more in line with the other tank classes.
Commando:
Mass Accelerator has returned in a new form: Increases the range of Explosive Round and High Impact Bolt by 20 meters. Acquired as a level 10 passive ability. Designer Note: Mass Accelerator has returned, granting Commandos a range boost alongside the new Explosive Round and High Impact Bolt maximum range changes to maintain their current range on Live. This additional passive preserves the Commando’s design as a ranged specialist on the battlefield.
Bounty Hunter:
Missile Blast now has a base range of 10 meters (down from 30 meters).
Rail Shot now has a base range of 10 meters (down from 30 meters).
Powertech:
Designer Note: Powertech ranged potential is currently too strong for a class that is intended to be played as a close-quarters combatant. Powertechs are melee onslaught specialists and should be encouraged to engage their targets in close proximity. By reducing the range of Missile Blast and Rail Shot, we place the Powertech’s range potential closer to its design as a close-quarters combatant and further define their unique style in various combat scenarios. Mercenaries maintain their 30-meter range through our reintroduction of “Propulsion Systems.”
Suppressive Tools now reduces the movement speed of targets affected by Magnetic Blast, Flame Burst, and Flame Sweep for 3 seconds (down from 6 seconds). Designer Note: The Powertech’s suppressive potential is currently a little too impressive with the Suppressive Tools Utility. In its current iteration, players fleeing from Powertechs are far too susceptible to suffering a perpetual state of reduced movement under the effects of Suppressive Tools. To better the player experience and balance Powertech target control potential, we have reduced the duration of movement speed reduction provided by Suppressive Tools.
Shield Cannon now heals you for 3% (down from 5%) of your total health when damaging a target with Shoulder Cannon. Designer Note: Powertech survivability currently surpasses the survivability of similar classes. We are reducing the effectiveness of Shield Cannon to bring the class more in line with the other tank classes.
Mercenary:
Propulsion Systems has returned in a new form: Increases the range of Missile Blast and Rail Shot by 20 meters. Acquired as a level 10 passive ability. Designer Note: Propulsion Systems has returned, granting Mercenaries a range boost alongside the new Missile Blast and Rail Shot maximum range changes to maintain their current range. This additional passive preserves the Mercenary’s design as a ranged specialist on the battlefield.
Flashpoints + Operations:
Dread Fortress:
Fixed an issue where the Hands of Brontes would occasionally spawn at full health in later phases of the encounter.
Items + Economy:
Fixed an issue that caused weapon effects to go missing from the Volatile Derelict Saberstaff after using an Ability.
Warzones:
Players are no longer able to get on top of the center turret in the Alderaan Civil War Warzone.
Warzone Bolster no longer looks for Augments in the wrong slot on Weapons, resulting in Bolster’s effect being returned to normal.
