This is STILL a problem. The fact that they've left a game-breaking bug in for two months since it was reported is absolutely abysmal, and shows either utter incompetence or a lack of care for the product and player base.

I am having the exact same problem. But good to know that it's likely to pop up no matter what character I use.

Have you considered roleplaying?

She's not worthless, certainly. In fact, I'd argue that her new value as weakest companion is actually a good thing. With most companions now you could AFK in the middle of a mob, get married, have 3 kids, cheat on your spouse, get divorced, and die broke and alone in a gutter, and as long as you have your companion set to heal, your character will never die. Kind of nice to have a companion that requires you to use some conscious brain activity to play through the game.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I like the guy a lot. But we're mere steps away from the HK-55 Thong, or the HK-55 personal upper thigh massager. I mean, KoTFE has other characters too. Yes, I am aware that the next bonus item isn't HK-55's shinguards or jockstrap. But we've had a pretty serious overload.

I see your point. But I'd leave out mentioning the real money cost. Especially since that's all players seem to be fixating on. Just looking at numbers now, Treek is objectively the worst. Which is a shame, as Treek used to be the best.

Well...you don't have to win to get him. Just let your face get kicked in about 20 times. If you aren't a PvPer anyway, It should hardly effect your pride.

So far, I've not had any issues beating enemies into submission in KOTFE, where in the standard game, even for the story missions, I had to get help at least a few times. So the combat feeling weak isn't just him. I think the story is keeping me in though, and that's really the point of SWTOR anyway for me.

My guess would be tonight, but I'm just naive and optimistic.

Honestly, I think Togruta will make them far more money than the new pack. If anything's the cash grab, it's them.

To be fair, they didn't say it wasn't coming today. We just need to be patient. I'm sure they're working very hard to try to get the Update out as fast as they can.

But...they might have to postpone their raid for a whole hour or two!! It's so important to the success of this game that they complete it! That's just how things are. I think most of us would rather see the update roll out as soon as it's ready. Those Togruta cartel coins are burning a hole in my pocket.

Ah well, I doubt it will be delayed more than a day or two. Still disappointed.

I was so excited, and now it's gone.

Well, In Fallen Empire, Lana, a bisexual female, will be a companion, and I'm assuming there will be someone for us men too. So, honestly? Case closed I guess.
