Whatever happened with this statement? 2 patches later and still no progess?

Patch 2.5 is live now and the bug still exists, just putting it out there.

Shameful bump. I didn't see any fix for the bug in 2.5 patch notes.

At the beginning of a fight, when I use shoot first with FR, does the armor penetration apply to shoot first or only to abilities after shoot first is used?

I'm disgusted now that there still isn't any update on this bug yet. I feel like all the hard work put into the Gree event in getting the single blade gray helix lightsabers was a waste. Can't enjoy using them when every time i'm in combat the animation gets messed up. Funny how when people complained about the double bladed gray helix lightsaber being bugged, Bioware took care of it pretty fast. Here's the thread if no one knows what i'm talking about: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=614388 However, when it comes to this threads bug, it appears Bioware simply doesn't care and hopes people get over it in good time, well I won't get over it. Bioware continues to ignore a bug that can easily be fixed in a short amount of time, but rather see it be dragged out longer than needed. Please give me answers Bioware. I've been patient with you for months, but now i'm starting to rethink your reliability to get things done at all in an appropriate time frame.

This bug is related to this threads bug: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=645255&highlight=helix+lightsaber Where the saber changes its animation appearance, which is a quite annoying issue that i'm still waiting for BIoware to respond on for an estimated time to when it will be fixed.

Bump. Any news?

Instead of relying on double xp weekends, Bioware should simply make double xp boosts to be bought off the CM. Would make plenty of money and people wouldn't have to wait for the next double xp event to bother leveling up a character.

Nonetheless, Bioware said they work on the issue after patch 2.3. Well we're in patch 2.4 now. How goes progress on having the bug fixed Bioware?

Now that 2.4 is out, is there any chance this bug will be fixed in one of the quick patches?

If the events won't return, at least have the rewards available again in new events. Would like to see the black-green crystals again.

Or will the gear set be completely useless in wz's even with bolster? Just leveled up to 55 with a character for pvp and wondered, is there any point in grinding up partisan now when it will just be thrown into the trash? Trying to grind up conqueror gear takes quite a while for someone who solo queues, so just asking.

I tested the gray helix saber without mods and no crystal, got the bug result. Tried with varied mods and crystals, didn't make a difference. The bug has to be associated with the class skills I stated above.

This issue continues to be ignored and it annoys me every time I am in combat. When I use vicious throw or saber throw on my juggernaut, the lightsaber animation disappears on the gray helix and is replaced with only a normal lightsaber look for the duration of combat. It's easily noticeable at that when fighting. Is it so hard to fix this simple issue? I believe the twin saber throw skill for marauders affects the gray helix as well. I like the gray helix sabers, they're unique compared to other sabers in the game, and yet I can't fully enjoy them with this annoying small bug. Bioware please take a moment out of your time to look into this issue, thanks.

that may be, but if a team has bunch players with the charge ability, it can cause issues, assuming if they're skilled players. Nonetheless, this issue should be prevented.
