I was completing the destruction of the mining rigs for the Republican side. In the first mining area I ran into a major map glitch where 2 of the enemy we either hidden or phased out. When I moved towards them I found myself outside the map on the side of an ice formation where I killed the droid then had to use AoE to kill the trooper I could not attack directly. This are in the first dog leg turn to the right in the corner of it (left side facing the corner). I clipped it from my stream so you can see exactly what I'm reporting. Stream clip of map glitch.

All I want is Syl to be available as a companion and romancable too. This why I can let Vaylin know I finally have her!

@EricMusco I warned you that a great angst would be happen. And now you have a storm starting to rival the changes y'all made the companions back during the eternal throne debacle. How many subs and players did you loose over that and took 2 weeks to fix it? How many will Broadsword lose of their long term financial income before they decided to relent and fix this by rolling back or putting a toggle into to turn this off? Remember the great failure that nearly killed this game with update 2.0 and the nerf hammer of the Sorcerers and Sages. This change, left unabated will be catastrophically worse.

Try playing the game at 2k. 2 of my characters that I played today didn't look anything like what I'm seeing from others. One of them is my Sith warrior Twi-lek female. She has the same tattoo markings and dark red coloring as yours. Even Vette with her special look is the same coloring and don't look anything like that.

@EricMusco can your team give us body tattoos for the Twi'leks to match their head/face markings? This would be a super quality of life improvement for this race...heck for all the races that can have tattoos. Especially for Sith characters! I'd through my money at Broadsword without a thought about it for this improvement.

Eric, why are you forcing this through when it isn't ready or fixed? Have y'all not learned over the past 12 years that these constant bugged releases have elicited angst from the players? Is it so important to push content out when it isn't fixed? Remember what happened with 7.0 and the massive bug fighting Malgus? I can't speak for everyone; however, I'd be most certainly happy to wait another month or two for 7.6's release with it fixed and working as intended than have it released today. We know after this, y'all start at the end of next month to work on it only to have it fixed by maybe March? Why?

Truth be known, SWTOR's gearing slog is very much like Blade & Soul. It's very time consuming and to get the best gear you have to get into the top dungeons. If you have enough gold to buy your way in, you sit at the door and buy the gear you need on top of buy in to get taken in. ESO's gearing is absolutely straight forward and made simple so everyone can have set bonus gear. Heck, you can take green level set gear and the bonuses are what you want for your class, you can level it up to Legendary if you have the mats. If not, take it to Artifact level. And you can craft all the gear if you disassemble full sets and research all the traits. You can make tank gear for your new level 50 Templar or Dragon, including weapons, accessories including the armor. No muss no fuss. FFXIV just requires to get enough Tomestones to buy the latest 720ish blue gear (weapons, accessories) which is strong enough to take you into hard and savage modes. So yes, SWTOR's gearing system is convoluted made to force people to play long hours of grinding the same old content to get the best gear available. Except NiM gear...we're told we don't need that if we don't do NiM raids.

Eric and Keith, y'all just can't leave things well enough alone. All this is going to do is slow down progression. In other words, you are artificially extending the grinding for less conquest points. Grinding to keep players playing via grinding is not endearing to anyone. It's fundamentally wrong. This may go over for those who accept grinding or have nothing else to do, it is certainly not acceptable to those who have a finite time to try and enjoy playing a game. This change does not make a quality of life improvement it makes it worse dissatisfying the player/customer base.

Hey, like Trixxie, I do appreciate you showing us this. I've missed having it too.

Ugh....shades of Update 1.2 all over again.

It's par for the course dealing with Sorcerers and Consulars. They are the most nerfed class in the game, especially Lightning and it's mirror. I would give them the benefit of doubt here, but based on BioWare's history with this two classes, they nerfed them again. Sorcerers/Consulars Heals, DPS, and DoTs specs are the worse in the game. There must be a executive order from on high to make them so.

This is a new one for me since I returned to play. How does this work exactly for my current established characters? What triggers it and whatnot. Is there a guide on how to get all hot and heavy with your companions again?
