Misfit Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 (edited) With 7.0 do we not swap action bars when taking cover? Is this on purpose or a bug? Edited February 16, 2022 by Misfit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spuck Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I NEED MY COVERBAR!!! I already have more keybinds than any mmo I’ve ever played. Now I have to bind more for when I’m in cover?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaedelyia Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Same, what the hell is this change ? It was a very convienient option, and had cover stuff binded at the same spot as the cover ability. Is it another case of Bioware taking options away from the player or is it just a bug?

Spuck Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 You know, at game launch I was against “cover only” abilities. Then I seen how the cover bar helped alleviate that pain. 10yrs later you take it away? I NEED MY COVER BAR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince_Celador Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I looked through the patch notes and I don't see any change. Could this be a bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSStember Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I really hope this is bug that is fixed soon. Makes my Snipers and Gunslingers pretty unplayable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to play a Gun Slinger/Merc combo...but GS is a mess dealing with cover only abilities and no cover bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayJediDerisat Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 until it's back im done with the game, i started a month ago and Snipe was my main, im at chapter 10 of KOTFE and a core mechanic and QOL of my class is removed. Unsubbed till addressed. @EA Elden Ring comes out this month so you aren't the most attractive belle at the ball to pull these kind of shenanigans. 7.0 sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffreydekogel Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I was looking forward to taking my Sniper through the new content, but without the Cover Bar - or even the option to turn it on or off - I find this class pretty much unplayable at the moment. This must be a bug. No dev would be stupid enough to just take a perfectly fine option away from players for absolutely no good reason... right? Right?

SeraphSWTOR Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Why is the Cover bar gone? There's nothing in the patch notes, and nothing in the Known Issues thread either. I hope it's just a bug that gets fixed soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Araberen Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 It was reported several times on pts. Starting from first sniper/slinger combat styles update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomaJones Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Well, I have only been playing about a month, and logging in to this change was a punch to the gut. Combat with this class is radically changed, enough so that I no longer want to even play the class anymore. This is a shockingly bad change and I cannot fathom for the life of me how such a change was approved other than those that came up with it and approved it never played the class before. Combat went from smooth action to an awkward mess of stop and go stop and go. I now have one very large reason to not continue playing the game. I do not like melee classes, trooper was boring for me which means I am now left with Bounty Hunter and perhaps Sorcerer to play. So much for finding a new MMO home that will last.

jeffreydekogel Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Yeah... I have been playing for a couple of months now and really enjoyed Sniper most out of all classes - until they took away the cover bar with absolutely no warning or given reason. If I can't play my favorite class to any reasonable extent, I'll have to show my dissatisfaction by unsubscribing until this absolutely bonkers decision/bug is reverted/fixed. I'm not mad, but I am very, very disappointed. Edited February 16, 2022 by jeffreydekogel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enticy Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Really? This is what is causing people to unsubscribe? The change takes maybe an hour to get used to, tops. Sniper/Gunslinger plays fine. You just need to adapt to the changes, like you’ve done for literally every major expansion before this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point it: Why would they removed a QoL feature that was both working just fine AND already optional ? It makes no sense. Even if you argue that only a minority of people was using it anymore, or arguing that "adapting your playstyle isn't a big deal", why should we defend removing potentially useful feature from the game?

PancaSWTOR Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Any news about this? In the 7.0.1 patch nothing said about the return of the bar... really wanted to play the snipy and tried different solutions, but nothing seems smooth like the dear old bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaedelyia Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) Why would it be in the patch? They haven't made any indication they intend to return the cover bar To be fair, they haven't made any indication at all. I really wish a dev could pop in one of these thread and either say "It's a bug, y'all, please be patient" or "No way, josé, the lack of cover bar is fully intended, we removed it because fk u" But no acknowledgement in a way or the other is no good for anyone.

DoomSeeker Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 With all the changes and now no cover bar, i basically can't play my sniper/gunslinger anymore Its been in the game forever, why remove it now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pricia Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Really? It's like 3 abilities. Is it really a big deal that they are unusable on your bar when not in cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zunayson Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 For 10 years, Ive put Crouch and Snipe on the same key; and Take Cover and Ambush use the same key. I still haven't gotten used to using new keybinds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrbabar Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Please bring back cover action bars. This is a horrendous change and needs to be reverted asap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battycoda Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 With all the changes and now no cover bar, i basically can't play my sniper/gunslinger anymore Its been in the game forever, why remove it now! I was just thinking the same thing, so I came here to see if it was just me. My action bar switched in cover since the beginning, the very beginning, like 1.0. 11 years later is a long time to decide, "Nah, you gotta mix cover skills with non-cover skills now. Have fun!"
