As of 3/11/2018 this bug/glitch has been resolved and players can now freely preview as they please without any annoying weird stuff happening...YAY!!!! the hell took so long dude

Yeah Ive seen this before on the same planet multiple character's in one place near the same exact area all syncd with eachother.

I honestly can't see them fixing this at any time. I'm sorry everyone, we all tried but I don't think they care anymore at this point.

It's because they want to keep the illusion that the game's many server's are dying. So in order to keep this blanket of lies over people they don't merge server's to keep everyone in a calm state.

Yeah I did the same thing but that was month's upon month's ago. They will not fix this bug just add it to the list of other bugs that prove to be very annoying but won't be fixed.

It's been 8-9 months now and Bioware still hasn't fixed this issue in several updates :(. I think it's very clear they no longer plan on keeping this game fixed and bug free especially when such a bug as this is so simple to fix and yet hasn't in month's for those who are also experiencing this problem I am very very sorry but I don't think we'll be getting a fix of this anytime soon. The only thing I could recommend is to go to strongholds or areas where you are the only player in sight to preview an item. It seems to only happen in instances where other player's exist. If you are a recurring player from a few years ago I suggest that you watch a few tutorials on some of the new things they've implemented (Even though there isn't much) and try to report glitches bugs and issues within the game and have others do so with you to try and get Bioware's attention.

Hey there's a Bug that's surfaced the game for 8 months now and was wondering why you haven't fixed it yet its when you preview something and your body either dissapears or blackens out or the previewed item vanishes. Please fix this soon as it can turn down and discourage new players from the game knowing that this bug exists and continues to exist for so long which in turn tells them that the devs no longer care about the game.

I created a thread on the Reddit forums and on this very web site they have received plenty of complaints tickets and reports to fix this and yet 8 months since this bugs existence its still not bloody fixed... This only shows new and old players that the devs no longer care about the game with such an annoying bug going on for so long and turns them away from the game,in turn means no subscriptions no money for Bioware or EA. They need to do something about his now!

exactly man its been what 2-3 months now and still no fix to this thing?

Dear Support- Hello today I'd like to discuss something about the character preview and how it is bugged. You see this has NEVER happened to me before but when I go to preview a weapon and/or Armor Piece actually anything for that matter either Parts of my Characters body disappears, or the hole character vanishes, or it automatically shows me my old armor I was wearing before I preview'd anything with my initial characters skin and face missing. Other players have been reporting the same Bug occurrence when they preview an object as this can be very annoying when trying to combine different gear to see if it looks ok to use. I don't know if the Maintenance you guys are rolling out will fix this issue and or at least reduce the annoyance of this bug but please do something about this thing. ~ Sincerely A Player in the Ocean. :)

Bioware...seriously? This is impossible and especially annoying to those who have already done every single achievement that's possibly obtainable. I don't understand why I must go through the entire game again with a level 1 and do ALL OF THESE FP's MY STORY ALL OF IT! I'd like to know how long this "event" is going to last if its like the Rakghoul or Gree event then there is no way this legendary status or what ever it is is even possible honestly you need to rethink the requirements to get these rewards the only one that would take at least 30 + minutes to complete is the FIRST ONE get to level 25 after that it starts getting very very very difficult and those who are new and fresh to the game won't even have the resources or money to pull half of these off I'm sorry but the amount of grind time to do this is way to large...Bioware with sincerity please consider changing the requirements for all levels be either decreased in amount of achievements or decreased in general difficulty in some shape or form. ~ A player among st the ocean.

The freakin things are like getting a gift from god they are sooooooo rare. "This one is mine and there are none others like it."
