Bump, and a small update to the bug, it also happens on the Bounty Hunter origin, so it's not exclusive to the Republic side, which is interesting. So you can't make a pale skinned Bounty Hunter either.

Apologies to bump, but this one was finally fixed in the latest patch, 7.4.1! So, I just wanted to mention that in case anyone who's been keeping an eye on this bug and thread wasn't aware. It's great to see Broadsword fixing some of these year-long bugs, I hope they continue to do so with some of the other ones that have lingered since 2013/2014 or so.

Bump. This one is still bugged. Please have a look at it Broadsword! It would be nice to finally have Empire Zabraks with the correct skin colour options when on the Republic side. When I get a bit of time, I'll add some screenshots. EDIT: Here are screenshots with descriptions to show the issue. - https://imgur.com/a/uwZydId

I'm very happy to hear that, thank you for letting us know!

It's definitely a bug, it's literally the Marauder animation of the ability. No way in any world that was done on purpose, it looks awful and makes zero sense to change it. To add more proof to the fact it's a bug, the Guardian equivalent ability has had no animation change and works just fine, still using both hands.

Just checked this morning, and it's still bugged. Definitely one of the oldest bugs the game has. I'm hopeful Broadsword will take a look and fix it.

It should be a simple fix I think, it's probably been assigned the wrong animation by mistake. It does look awful right now, and it really should be fixed. It's an ability used frequently as a Juggernaut, so I have to keep looking at this bugged animation multiple times in a play session.

Maybe new hope to get this bug finally fixed with Broadsword now in charge?

Bump, still bugged and using the wrong animation.

EDIT Sep 2023: This bug has now been fixed, Thanks SWTOR team. Yep, that's what I meant sorry. You just get both, same if you pick Sentinel the dark one becomes your off hand one. The choice aspect at the end of the story makes no difference now. You also can still get the sith warblade but only as an offhand quest reward if you're a marauder. So juggernauts cannot get it at all anymore.

I made a bug report on this when 7.0 came out, but it is yet to be fixed. It's due to the combat styles and the changes they made to accommodate it. Whoever did it did a pretty lazy job and made a lot of errors like this. The Jedi Knight can no longer get a dark saber if they take the dark option as well as the Warblade issue above.

BUG IS NOW FIXED. Just keeping post as is for archiving/clarity's sake. Title. Juggernaut is now using (not sure since when) the marauder version of the viscous slash ability (one of the base level 1 abilities). So you'll see them swing their empty hand unnaturally. The Juggernaut animation should place both hands on the lightsaber when swinging, but this is no longer the case. Looks very strange and poorly animated without the second lightsaber and should be changed back to its correct animation for Juggernauts. I'm a body type 3 Sith Pureblood, I'm unsure if it's unique to a body type and/or species, but figured I'd also put that info here. UPDATE: It's bugged for all body types.

Please give Juggernauts their Warblade back BioWare!

I imagine this one slipped by as having more than 100 people online on PTS wasn't ever going to happen. Hopefully this one gets fixed as the new utility bars are very nice beyond this issue.

Kind of crazy this is still a bug in the game after nearly a decade. It surely cannot be that hard to fix? I imagine with the small development team EA gives BioWare for this game they just struggle to find the time to make new content and fix old bugs like this. So the end result is bugs get left in favour of new content, as new content is what keeps people around. Really would be nice to get this fixed though. I have a Sith Warrior character and I want to make his brother as a Jedi but I've had to make him the Republic Zabrak due to this skin bug.

Bumping this. Still not fixed, and it's surely a very easy fix? Should just be a case of swapping the models and fixing the icon/sound paths.

EDIT: THIS BUG IS FIXED NOW AS OF MID 2023. THANK YOU BIOWARE/BROADSWORD. Where: Korriban Sith Warrior origin story class quest "Arm Yourself". What: The quest reward for the Sith Warrior Arm Yourself quest has been changed to the "Korriban Battler Practice Blade". This weapon does not have the old Sith Warblade model. It instead looks like a generic Jedi practice blade (the one the tomb looters use). The sheath and unsheathe sounds are also incorrect and sound like a standard lightsaber, not a practice blade. The weird part is that for Marauders you can get the Sith Warblade as your offhand reward after doing the next quest where you interrogate the 3 prisoners for Jailer Knash. This is the "Korriban Battler Offhand Blade" and it has the model of the Sith Warblade. Like the new Battler Practice Blade, it also has the incorrect sheath and unsheathe sounds, and uses Lightsaber sounds. The icon for this weapon is also incorrect, using the level 10 Lightsaber icon (from the end of the JK and SW stories) instead of the Sith Warblade icon. I am assuming that the Warblade is meant to be the main hand reward, and the offhand reward is supposed to look like the generic Jedi practice blade. With the bug as it is, Juggernauts do not get access to the Warblade at all anymore, despite picking it up in the cutscene 5 seconds prior to getting the reward, it's also jarring considering Tremel mentions wanting the player to use a dominating weapon and you end up with the most basic looking practice blade imaginable. Same for the cutscene after the quest with Eskella who mentions the Warblade while she herself is wearing one.

Issue for me as well. Can't use paypal to buy anything. Get an empty receipt and its marked as 'FAILED' in my purchase history.

Title. I missed it the first time around and I'd love to have a second chance at getting the rewards/achievements. Was it well received the first time around? I'm unsure how likely BioWare are to do it again.

I don't post here too often, but it has been fantastic, big thank you to everyone on the SWTOR team who has taken part in everything in the last few weeks. The livestream was fantastic, I'm in the UK so I was around for about the first 7 hours and even won an Acklay mount from the giveaways! I'm still watching the rest on VOD. Really enjoyed/enjoying it. Thanks for doing it

Why would they do two different trailers just for 2 seconds of dialogue and the player character standing around? It's wasted effort for minimal gain, they're only 40 second long trailers. On top of that, having multiple trailers of the same chapter with different characters in it it would just confuse the casual viewer even more.

I logged too. Game is literally unplayable, I log in and I'm already over 1000 ping. The problem is, BioWare support sucks so much I know writing a ticket will be a complete waste of time, because I'll get a canned response from a bot that doesn't help me in the slightest. So we just gotta hope BioWare actually see this and do something. It's so frustrating, I literally can't play the game at all.

Started happening to me tonight. Sometimes it literally stops and disconnects me. It's not my internet, can play all other games fine and getting normal speed on ping/speed tests. 100% the game. Ebon Hawk server. I'm also EU on a US realm. Really hope BioWare fix/look into this. The game becomes unplayable quite frequently.

Bump, would be nice to finally get developer word on this. It literally breaks an entire quest chain in the game, and has been an issue for years. Can we please get this fixed already?

I cannot finish the Taris: Bonus Series due to a pretty major bug. I got the quest from Vealo at Brejik's Run to go to Mola Haxtor and complete the quest "Missing Link". The problem is, I already did that quest from Mola before I spoke to Vealo, because on my way to Brejik's Run, I saw the quest pop up, and I went and did it first, while not knowing Vealo would want me to do it after I spoke to him. So, my Taris: Bonus Series quest is greyed out and I'm completely stuck and unable to proceed. I tried going to Mola and talking to her, but I just get her thanking me because I already did the quest. If those quests need to be completed in a certain order, why are they completable before I get the quest from Vealo to go and do them? Is it due to 4.0 level sync? My character was well above the Taris levels (level 40 something) so maybe that's why. Either way, I'm stuck now until this is fixed. I want to play the game in order story wise and now I can't. Just a heads up, that this is a major bug that stops me from proceeding. (I know these quests aren't needed to hit 65, but I want to do all the story). I Hope this can be fixed soon. I've sent in a ticket, but I doubt it will be much help. Thanks
