OK, I've done a search to see if there's any discussion on this, and I couldn't find anything. I just was looking for any input regarding the following items in the patch notes, since I'm at work and won't be able to play until later tonight:

Items with low hitpoints are now unrepairable.

The difficulty to repair an item now increases as the item becomes more damaged.

Skilled crafters gain bonuses for the repair of items within their field.

Has anyone tried any of this out yet? What exactly constitutes 'low hitpoints'? And how much bonus do people get for repair? Just curious for any input from people lucky enough to be at home

Those of us at home haven't been all that lucky. All servers have been down all day. Latest estimated time for servers to be restored is at 3pm Eastern time. Someone must have royally screwed the pooch on this patch.
