You mount repeatedly while leveling. This bug is game breaking.

I am what would currently be known as a CRZ refugee. Returned to swtor to escape that game breaking idiocy.

At least Bioware broke companions accidentaly, they did not do it on purpose like Blizzard.

It's not just mounting -
IF YOU DO ANY OF THE FOLLOWING
=
GEAR REVERTS TO BEING 'NON EXISTENT'

- Take an elevator
- Start a quest
- Mount/dismount
- Send your companion to sell inventory junk
- Using your holocommunicator
- Using Rocketboost
- Using quicktravel
- Using Priority Transport/fleet
- Getting knocked off speeder throws you in to combat and therefore cannot gear switch = usually means you die or run away clinging for life.
- Using any of the hangar elevators on fleet.
Yeeeh totally not gamebreaking to have to re-equip gear any time you do any of the above.


-edit- going to put this in op

Its not, its inconvenient. Quest mobs are ussually fairly close together so you can just walk these few feet instead of mounting up. Effectively all it does is slow you down. It sucks, no arguement there.

Check OP and tell me this is not gamebreaking. Or check the post above your own.

You guys really do over react to everything. This has happened before. Bioware fixed it. They'll fix it this time too. You guys all sound like the boss that thinks screaming in people's faces is the best way to get anything done.

Last time it was just implants and earpieces and it still took them a month to fix it.

You know, this bug could have easily arisen in this fashion:

HK-51 currently has two bugs, not scaling when you level like he is supposed to, and showing up completely nekkid for some people when you get him.

Tons of players submitted bug reports. CSRs push those tickets up, since this is a pretty big bugset.

Someone flags it for fixing.

Someone attempts a fix for the current patch, to be applied at maintenance.

Their attempt to fix the bug, unwittingly may have also caused the other companions to instead act similar to HK. Their fix may have worked fine on the development instance of the game, and received no compiler or tool warnings.

It did not appear to work on Live, which is generally running quite a bit more scripts, code, etc than a development instance would run.
