Darth Marr bug

Hey folks!

Thank you for calling attention to this issue. We didn't really intend to remove the ability to use Marr and others outside of their respective chapters; this was a side effect of solving a bug that would have blocked progression through the Ossus storyline for some players (under certain conditions, the game gets confused about which temporary companion you should have, and chaos ensues).

As some folks have guessed, taking temporary characters out of their chapters was never really an intended or supported feature. But since it didn't really hurt anything or give anyone an unfair advantage, we decided to leave it in when it was discovered.

Given that some of you have put a lot of time into these characters, it is our goal to find a way to give you access to them again. Unfortunately, I can't give an ETA for when that might happen as we still have to ensure that any solution we pursue doesn't risk blocking players' progress elsewhere in the storyline.

i have toon stucked at the start of kotfe story special for party with Darth Marr. and now he is no more in companions list and chapter 1 reset to the beginning. i start it again, run up to the point where i got Marr and stop, exite in my stronghold and lose him again.
i asked my guildmates and one of them has the same bug.
what shall we do now?

So does this mean that storyline progress is halted again? I got screwed over with the DvL event because of the KOTFE storyline being bugged, and im afraid to take more characters through the storyline, due to GSF, voice lines, influence, gear and choices being deleted multiple times. And it doubley stinks since they locked the gear I need behind Ossus.

No, the OP is trying to make use of what was essentially a bug, where you could exit from a chapter that had a temporary companion (notably Darth Marr or Empress Acina) and keep the companion around for (slightly weird) RP purposes. As Eric notes, it was a bug, and un-fixing(1) it may be difficult, but if you don't want to keep those companions around, your story should work normally.

At the very least, OP's problem is not the one that will stop you continuing.

(1) That is, they fixed the bug that let you keep the companions around as a consequence of something else they fixed, and in fact the bug does no real harm to the game means that it's reasonable to put the apparent behaviour back the way it was. Eric explained that this will take a bit of work, but it is on their list of things to do.
