Nope - still not fixed. Deception/hatred have most of the animations bugged [the best test place to go and test it - CZ daily area, no animations on exploding barrels, there should be lightsaber thrust animation on those, no animation in the lower leves where you normally shoot force lightning over the wall part to disable energy field]. Darkness still works fine thou. It annoyed me to the point of rolling out in tank spec again. Not that i dont like darkness sin, i just like to do pve and deception have imho one of the best looking combat animations. Not to mention i kinda like the mechanic of deception, dashing like crazy from target to target, jumping mid air, lightsaber throw here and there etc. Hope they fix it some day T.T

Its global, and planet/moon you can see over ethernal throne room is missing as well.

Its not a user sided bug, its global, i have it as well and as i reported on ea tech issues i checked the repair, 5.5 is to blame here, 5.4 it was fine.

There are few missing models and textures after 5.5 Textures of the sky troopers pod in chapter one when they board Darth Maar ship are missing, the planet/moon over ethernal throne chambers is missing [the big red one, you can see it in few cutscenes, with arcann or in opening scene in chapter one when outlander is captured and brought to valkorion] Hope it can be hotfixed soon.

As expected - no fix in 5.5. Maybe they will fix it before that game dies and goes offline for good .... =.=

The most bizzare oart is the fact darkness spec works fne, all animations display correctly. Only deception and hatred are bugged. It bothered me to the point of respecing to dark sin witch i dont like as deception one... I have small flame of hope tha next patch will fix this =.=

Ok i checked the barrel on CZ - and the animation there is broken as well. Whats more bizzare - few days ago it was working just fine 0.o It starts to become more annoying every day... Pity we have no response from devs on the matter.

One more thing i observed - the affected specs cause story flashpoints cutscenes to not play at all. But only the intro movies, rest of the fp story plays just fine. For example im currently on my another alt, doing shadow of revan story, and when i was speced to deception the intro scene for battle of rishi wont show up. As for the barrels - i check it today, but the lightsaber destroy animation played just fine for me, as well as the force push ones [the animation that is displayed when you hit the exploding barrels near enemies, like all those barrels on section x, ones that explodes or freezes the enemies]. Its force lightning and force shock animation that i observed to be bugged. As i mentioned - most funny thing is - darkness spec works just fine. All cutscenes play normally, all animation works just fine.

http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=9434053#post9434053 Could any fellow deception/hatred player could confirm this is the global issue or am i the only one affected? I doubt anybody will replay in bug section forum...

Hello. I dont see interaction animation on my sith assasin when speced to deception or hatred, specifically the force shosck animations that should normally play when we interact some quest objects we have to destroy - like for example hydrogenerators on rishi. There should be animation of force lightning when we interact with the objects - but instead there is this strange short animation similiar to reaching for the lightsaber and purple lightning artound my character body. Is this a global issue? It is really annoying and mess up imerssion totally =.= here are the screens - the first one when im speced to deception, animation is bugged, second one when i reset the spec and chose none or chose darkness [correct animation, force lightning] http://i66.tinypic.com/2m3irfm.jpg http://i63.tinypic.com/v0js.jpg P.S. Yes i did tried the repair function adn deleting the cache file - nothing solved that issue. P.S2 Found an old post from other user : http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=920156 Exatly the same bug im talking about. whats funny - all animation works perfectly fine in darkness spec, only hatred and deception are bugged.

The energy one suits those sets quite good. I dont remeber the exact name now, but its a cartel marked belt [in GTN on my serv its usually around 120-180k creds] and it have no item model, so you end up with visual like you dont have any belt equiped. http://imageshack.us/a/img41/7131/l1eh.jpg Thats how it look like on my old centurion set The second one would be Marka Ragnos belt, but i dont like the fact the ornament is so "big" on that one, so for me the perfect choice is the energy belt.

You could use it as DPS geared darkness sin. I run that way in solo as well as in ops/flashpoints [mainly in off-tank role thou sometimes i even fill for a full tank]. Im mainly DPS geared with slightly buffed defence and shield generator instead of focus.

This is not battlemaster - this is centurion force master/mysic pvp gear [the black and purple one]. Same goes for "sixth" - its not recolor either, it is centurion stalker/survivior one. http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/4825/yha8.jpg From the left : centurion stalker/survivor, centurion force master/mystic, and same for other rows except the second is champion, third is battlemaster. http://imageshack.us/a/img41/7131/l1eh.jpg And thats the direct in game footage of centurion force master/mystic [thou without a belt, i have it but its not moodable one, the belt used in the pic is energy, the one that have no visual item model so it fits the set ^^]

Just to clarify since i didnt posted it, i use as dps gear on my tank sin a regular pve moded set [no expertise] with almost all lvl 66 mods [my bracers are higher, 68 ones] and auguments that range from 58-50 [mixed blue and purple], tank relic [classic coms one] and matrix cube [when i get next 150 classic coms i probably change this one for internal damage relic] I use shield not a focus thou. Im not any super-end-game geared, but im able to run even few h2/h4 daily quest that way [i need to upgrade my healer, he is rusty, wearing old centurion class gear xD].
