I am on a PvE server too, and I got killed for no apparent reason by Imps the other day near the crash site. I was not sure what happened, as I never PvP. I guess I now know what went on, and why I was able to be attacked. I agree with the OP. This should not allow you to become PvP flagged on a PvE server..... Bioware, a fix would be appreciated please....

I laughed alot when i read this.... sad thing is..... it is probably true p.s.... please give us our giggle back! I know you dont like us too, but we only want to have fun!

We have now had I believe 3 Patches/Hotfixes, and still it is not fixed. It should not have made it on to live servers really, but it should really be top of the list in relation to fixes. Perhaps they should of spent more time fixing bugs like this, than devoting time to removing my Scoundrel's giggle...... cause obviously that was much more important:eek:

Shame on you Bioware...... Yet another patch/hotfix, and still no word on this game breaking bug. Letting a bug this annoying and widespread get onto live servers is sloppy. The fact that after 3 hotfix's to the game and it is still not fixed is not acceptable for a game/company of this size. I cant bring myself to log on and play atm, because I have now found out the bug even comes back if you get your companion to go and sell stuff for you.... Not threatening to quit, but it is definately not fun atm....

Come on Bioware..... Please make sure this gets into the next maintenance period. It is a gamebreaking bug that effects every single player. You are lucky that most people have not realized about the bug yet. Make use of thta fact and fix it before any more damage is done to your rep.....

/Signed I want our giggle back please!

Yes.... it is definetly NOT a display bug. Infact a lot of the nerf posts would go away if more people were even aware of this bug. Most people think that they are lacking in survivability due to the 1.2 class balances, but I think that most are just dieing easier cause their companion is dieing quicker. (talking pve here, as i dont PvP) Everyone I speak to ingame does not know about the bug. Infact when i tell people about it, and they try and remove the relevant inventory bits, they cant believe what happens..... I think if every customer was aware of this bug, then I think Bioware would be swamped with complaints. As it is ... Ignorance is bliss....

Apparently they are aware of the bug, but as it is such a game breaking one, I am a little disapointed we have just had a 5 hour downtime and patch, yet no fix as yet...... Come on Bioware.....Spend less time getting rid of my Scoundrel's giggle, and more time fixing game breaking bugs! Priorities ftw!

Hi, Yes I have got a thread going about it too. Sad thing is, that I believe most people are affected, but are not aware of it as yet. Nasty bug! Please fix Bioware, or at least let us know you are aware!

Sorry..... First and last shameless bump. This thread really needs to be kept near the top, as I dont believe this has yet been acknowledged yet by Bioware..... If any devs are watching, please can you advise us if you are aware of this bug please!

Hi Just wanted to let people know that at present there is a bug that effects Companions badly. When you log on the hit points from endurance on the following items do not apply to your pet... Earpiece Implant 1 Implant 2 Bracer So usually your Companion is down between a few hundred to a couple of thousand hit points. If you remove said items from the Companion, then replace them, it corrects itself and the Companion hitpoints jump back up. But.... Anytime you zone or ride your speeder etc then the problem comes back Pretty annoying tbh, almost game breaking. I believe it is effecting every single person, but I believe alot of people have not yet realized it yet. took me a couple of days before i noticed tbh. Anyway please fix ASAP Bioware! P.s I have submitted a ticket, but no reply as yet. Please guys.... submit tickets, as this needs to be brought to there attention.

Yep.... i started my MMO life with Everquest, many moons ago, and this is correct. DD meant a direct damage spell, meaning damage all upfront in one hit, as oposed to a DOT. DPS is the term given to the type of toon you have, or as a reference to how much damage a particular toon does (ie damage per second). This was in the days when warriors only had auto attack, taunt and kick..... no other abilities at all.... Happy days, but I would not really want to go back..... corpse run anyone?

Thanks again all.... your replies have been very helpful. I am enjoying the class very much, and I am glad to hear all the posotive comments. I think i am gonna have to get my little Merc to lvl 50 after all! I dont PvP or do Operations, so i think i am gonna be fine based on all your comments Awesome....

Hi again..... Firstly, thanks for the hard work and great info given to me, it is much appreciated. I was aware of the 60 sec crowd control on the merc, and that was a big selling point tbh over the powertech, and I realize as you mention, a trade off really for the powertech interupt. I guess i am just surprised how much I miss the interupt, but I am hoping that maybe on single Elites, as I get better gear, and also my basic heals, that maybe I could heal thru the damage to my tank pet if needs be. In other words if i cant stop the damage done to my tank companion, maybe I can heal it back or dps the mob down quicker. Time will tell... I guess to sum it up.... I really only solo, and am mainly worried about normal story line bosses or the occasional world elite mobs (not Champions). But, bottom line, can someone confirm that the lack of interupt will not impact this progression too much, because playstyle wise I love my little merc! P.s I guess after reading so many times on these forums, how certain mobs can only be beaten by using your interupts correctly, I perhaps am worrying that I will struggle without one...
