Companion Ear/Implant Bug not fixed

Of all the things that could and should have been fixed today, I am at a loss why this wasn't fixed, considering that the devs have obviously been putting time and effort into it.

Not just that, but the number of bugs is just rising and needs to be seriously sorted ASAP. The crashing and sound issues notwithstanding, I haven't seen things like the smart camera work since 1.2.

As a former Champions Online player, I've been in a game before where long-standing issues are either ignored or just remain unfixed, despite the protestations of players. I really hope that Bioware is not going to go down this road, as it's MMORPG hell for the players.

Yes, they did acknowledge that the fix didn't work ( once players reported it ) and pulled it from the patch notes. If they are having problems sorting this bug then it would be good of them to let us know that it is a priority and will be fixed ASAP.

I too hoped it would be mentioned in todays 'notes' and am very disappointed that it isn't.

I find I'm still having to tell people in game about this bug's existence everyday.

Bioware did a really crappy job at letting their population know this serious bug existed. Put it on your front page, send an email out, dammit, do something to get the news out to people.

I am slowly starting to wonder if this is a universal bug, or a "selective" bug only for some players.
I myself have this problem until this very moment - so all the time I need to re-equip implants and earpieces of all my companions, with all my characters. What is puzzling me: I am asking mates in the ingame chat about it and many state vigorously that they haven´t got this problem. So - no offense meant - are they just blind about that or is this really a selective issue?

Because this was an emergency patch to fix an exploit. The bug fix will come in a regular patch after triage, design, implementation, and testing.

This has been the only bug I have ever encountered with the game & I don't like it.

So did you unsub or do you just want to send me $14.99?

"Game breaking" gets thrown around to the point that the term has lost all meaning. This bug is, at most, a nuisance.

1. For 99% of all missions, a 5-10% loss in companion stats has negligible impact on the outcome.
2. For the remaining 1%, there is a work-around.

I only bother with the workaround on fights with elites and above and only on my L50 main. On my alts, I don't even notice. I've played just as much SWTOR after this bug as before, so I don't see how it is "game breaking."

I'm almost more annoyed at the companion wielding bug, which is a visual irritant.

This.
Anyone who has the nerve to call this minor bug game breaking is nothing but a sad whiner who doesn't even know what a real game breaking bug looks like.

Another patch in which none of the things that are ruining the game for me have been fixed.

• Stuck movement bug remains on my Knight
• Companion accessories still need to be reequipped every time I dismount/zone/summon
• Memory leak that eventually destroys ingame sound and requires frequent client restarts along with all the looooooong load times that entails still remains
