Whatever happened with this statement? 2 patches later and still no progess?

Patch 2.5 is live now and the bug still exists, just putting it out there.

Shameful bump. I didn't see any fix for the bug in 2.5 patch notes.

At the beginning of a fight, when I use shoot first with FR, does the armor penetration apply to shoot first or only to abilities after shoot first is used?

I'm disgusted now that there still isn't any update on this bug yet. I feel like all the hard work put into the Gree event in getting the single blade gray helix lightsabers was a waste. Can't enjoy using them when every time i'm in combat the animation gets messed up. Funny how when people complained about the double bladed gray helix lightsaber being bugged, Bioware took care of it pretty fast. Here's the thread if no one knows what i'm talking about: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=614388 However, when it comes to this threads bug, it appears Bioware simply doesn't care and hopes people get over it in good time, well I won't get over it. Bioware continues to ignore a bug that can easily be fixed in a short amount of time, but rather see it be dragged out longer than needed. Please give me answers Bioware. I've been patient with you for months, but now i'm starting to rethink your reliability to get things done at all in an appropriate time frame.

This bug is related to this threads bug: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=645255&highlight=helix+lightsaber Where the saber changes its animation appearance, which is a quite annoying issue that i'm still waiting for BIoware to respond on for an estimated time to when it will be fixed.

Bump. Any news?

Instead of relying on double xp weekends, Bioware should simply make double xp boosts to be bought off the CM. Would make plenty of money and people wouldn't have to wait for the next double xp event to bother leveling up a character.

Nonetheless, Bioware said they work on the issue after patch 2.3. Well we're in patch 2.4 now. How goes progress on having the bug fixed Bioware?

Now that 2.4 is out, is there any chance this bug will be fixed in one of the quick patches?

If the events won't return, at least have the rewards available again in new events. Would like to see the black-green crystals again.

Or will the gear set be completely useless in wz's even with bolster? Just leveled up to 55 with a character for pvp and wondered, is there any point in grinding up partisan now when it will just be thrown into the trash? Trying to grind up conqueror gear takes quite a while for someone who solo queues, so just asking.

I tested the gray helix saber without mods and no crystal, got the bug result. Tried with varied mods and crystals, didn't make a difference. The bug has to be associated with the class skills I stated above.

This issue continues to be ignored and it annoys me every time I am in combat. When I use vicious throw or saber throw on my juggernaut, the lightsaber animation disappears on the gray helix and is replaced with only a normal lightsaber look for the duration of combat. It's easily noticeable at that when fighting. Is it so hard to fix this simple issue? I believe the twin saber throw skill for marauders affects the gray helix as well. I like the gray helix sabers, they're unique compared to other sabers in the game, and yet I can't fully enjoy them with this annoying small bug. Bioware please take a moment out of your time to look into this issue, thanks.

that may be, but if a team has bunch players with the charge ability, it can cause issues, assuming if they're skilled players. Nonetheless, this issue should be prevented.

In Voidstar, I found a new way to cheat the warzone system to get ahead in objectives. At the bridge sequence, if a defending player stands on the edge of the platform between both bridges on defending spawn point side, an enemy player on the other side who has a charge ability can jump across without needing to activate the bridge first. Please prevent this from being possible, thanks.

Bioware probably encouraging you to change body type to make the mask look good...more profit for them!

This is wonderful news! Glad Bioware actually implementing this feature finally. Can't wait for 2.1 now!

Name changing feature would fit well in 2.1 but Bioware is being stubborn about it. Seriously it's a feature that should be part of a mmo. Have restrictions on the feature if needed, such as only usable once per character every 3 months or so to prevent people from constantly changing names.

Yep. Name changing feature would make lots of money, don't know why Bioware continues to be stubborn about it. The feature would fit in 2.1 quite well. Have restrictions like, only usable once per character every 3 months or so if needed. I just want to see the feature in game already! Don't waste such a good opportunity Bioware!

Bolster, I agree shouldn't be in lvl 55 warzones. They make gear grinding pointless plus why should PvE players get an advantage in pvp without grinding pvp gear, while PvPers would have to grind PvE gear for ops? Aside from that, with no bolster Bioware should make a new recruit gear set where the stats are just below the current lvl 55 pvp gear stats. Make the gear free to get at lvl 55 like with the old recruit sets were (when you reached lvl 50) so no one in war hero/elite war hero gear can complain about being squishy in the 55 wz's plus pve players will have a gear set to use if they want to pvp. It's a simple solution that can go a long way to fixing problems.

Armor customization looks sweet to see coming however when will we see CHARACTER RENAMING?

Nope, the bonuses only apply to crafting, not missions. Wish it did though.

The only reason why I keeping bumping this thread is because it always gets kicked off the first page of this section while armor design threads take up the space instead. Those threads are not as important compared to the name changing feature which is a big part of a mmo. If people kept this thread active I wouldn't have to keep bumping. Plus majority of the time when a thread goes off the first page, it just gets forgotten about and becomes worthless and I hate to see that happen to this thread. All I really want to know is if Bioware even reads all the threads made in this section, even the ones not on the first page. Since threads on the first page get all the attention only. They showed no indication that they would do something about renaming characters yet.

Wouldn't Bioware think it be smart to have PTS forums divided into different sections for each part of content to make feedback less stressful for all of us?
