Treek is broken, worthless, we paid REAL MONEY for her.

Treek is still useful in the fact she is an additional companion you can summon while leveling and restricted to the companions your get via doing your class story.

So yes, Treek is broken, worthless and needs to be fixed. Just having cool animations won't change the fact that she is uber weak.

I've never "recruited" Treek because she's an Ewok... and also because it's about 4000 years before Ewoks were supposedly discovered by outsiders...

Because every companion was overpowered shortly after KotFE was released. With most of the healers being shockingly effective, Treek's slightly different combination was plenty effective at healing but with some changes that some people liked.

However, for the most part, declarations of her being "OP" were just internet exaggerations made by people trying to get attention by being sufficiently loud. You seem to understand that idea.



Legal notice: No. You spent money on cartel coins. Those coins come with no guarantees. They buy game stuff and there's no statement about how useful that game stuff is or how well it will work or how much you'll enjoy it. You chose to spend those coins on a companion. You knew at the time you used them that Treek could be changed in the future. You knew that balance changes might make her the weakest companion. Or that she might have other changes that made you stop liking her. This was in the agreement you signed.



No. She's not useless.

She might not be as useful as you want, or rather: she might not perform the way you like for the purposes you're using her, but that isn't the same as being useless. I've seen people soloing H2 Star Fortresses with her, so apparently she's far from useless.

Of course... that's not what you meant, was it? You just used "useless" because you thought it would be more dramatic and convincing.... if the truth isn't convincing, just exaggerate until it sounds convincing, right?



And now she's about the same as everyone else. What you want is a tank. Most of them function the same way. There are loads of Shadows/Assassins in the game and they get on just fine with normal Tank companions. You'll be fine.



1: Because you didn't buy her. You bought cartel coins.
2: Because you got exactly what they said you'd get at the time you "bought" it.
3: Because you were never told that she would retain the features or performance you wanted. On the contrary, you were told that her abilities --just like every other thing in the game-- might change in the future. You made an agreement saying that you were okay with that.
4: Because nothing about how she was presented to you was ever false. A change in implementation does not justify a "bait and switch". Having an airline change my plane or my seat assignment isn't grounds for a bait and switch complaint. Having HBO change actors in one of their shows is not bait and switch. Having Microsoft break support for some devices in a Windows update is not a bait and switch. The core of 'bait and switch' is deception with the intent to drive sales that would not have occurred if there had been honesty. Treek was working as initially advertised for a long time before changes were made.
5: And the changes that were made were both legal, fully disclosed to you, and applied in a global fashion.



That's a bit ironic coming from the guy who didn't realize you could recruit her with in-game credits.

That wasn't an option before...When we bought her.

SAME, she's a freaking adorable wittle bounty hunter!

Who was Treek`s voice actor? I want to see/hear more of him in SWTOR. I would pay more money for a new companion with his/her voice acting masterpiece.

There are a couple of points that I think people are missing when they harp on the OP's use of Cartel Coins to purchase Treek. First, when Treek came out, not everyone met the eligibility requirements to pay for her with in-game credits:

"This version of the Mercenary Contract requires a Legacy Level of 40 and costs 1 million credits." - http://www.swtor.com/blog/treek-guid...-new-companion

i just started using her recently for the first time when i rerolled my bounty hunter. I'm using her in tank stance.

Let me say that there is definitely something wrong when mako in tank stance can hold aggro better.

Treek was a very useful companion and unique when she came out because, for most players, it meant you didn't have to slog through several planets before getting your healing or tank companion. I know that, for me, she was worth the Cartel Coins.

Considering that we cannot gear our companions anymore to increase stats, the expectation is that they will all perform relatively the same (I could be wrong, I haven't tested it). If Treek is performing as poorly as the OP says, then it is something worth reporting, which the OP said he did.

There's also another bug with Treek that has been reported in the bug forum and reported via /bug and that's that she does not raise her influence through conversations on the ship, which is where a lot of her affection in the old system came from. The only way to raise her influence now is through gifts, which, if she starts at zero for new characters, can be costly. This makes her use as a crafting companion possible, but painful.

So, while many here are looking at this through the perspective of an end-game player with Legendary status or as a Founder (which I am), you may not recognize just how broken Treek is for new or mid-level players.
