Wow. I did an entire run through Karraga's Palace last night and didn't notice any kind of issue whatsoever. I don't know if I naturally stop before going into cover, or if I'm strafing instead of moving forward or what, but I didn't have any noticeable change to my rotation at all. I can also confirm that when going into cover while facing a different direction from your target (so that you are not perpendicular to the target) doesn't seem to do it either because I remember a specific time when that happened in the Sorno/Jarg encounter and no issue to going into cover or using my skills. Didn't have a chance to try Battlegrounds last night, but I'll do it tonight after EV. Not saying the issue doesn't exist, and I'm sorry it's screwing up my fellow snipers (and yes, even the gunslingers), but it hasn't made the class completely useless or made it so you have to be carried through a raid as some of you guys are suggesting, unless I'm somehow miraculously unaffected.

Currently, you can use a recipe that you have already learned, consuming the redundant recipe. The game should be able to check your recipe list, warn you that you already have learned the recipe, and prevent you from using it again.

More moddable gear available to companions. I've only come across 2 imperial officer hats that are moddable (orange), and one is limited to imperial agents only, and the other is imperial agent or sith warrior only. I guess if you want to play a marauder in an imperial officer uniform you're all set (and why not, to each their own!) but if I want Ensign Temple in a full uniform....you know, like her picture in the codex entry....I can't. I would suggest something like, "if you can equip it, so can your companions", but that really only helps those companions that can wear your armor type (light, medium, or heavy) and share primary stats. So that's no good. Or we could slap a label on the companions that match classes based on your faction, but that's confusing. Ensign Temple is a Gunslinger. She can't be an Imperial Agent and Gunslinger at the same time. So how about just more orange gear options that have no class restrictions?

I'm surprised how delicately you step around naming the final boss in your patch notes for the Foundry, but you drop Darth Malgus' name like it's no big deal when talking about the False Emperor. Maybe a little consistency in your patch notes regarding potential game spoilers.

I actually like it. Just takes a little getting used to.
