Monoth Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I've notcied this for awhile now that some companions will not put away their weapons, it's starting to get a bit annoying given this has been going on for several months now... When is Bioware going to fix this? Can't be that hard to fix the code...

draconiangem Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Ive noticed this too... I bought a new vibro-blade for Khem, but when he puts it on his back it doesn't disappear or walking around with blasters out for another. It doesn't seem to hurt or change anything (actually I think it looks cool). Seems like a common visual glitch, like when I ride my speeder sometimes I'm still holding my saber, and has no effect on your game play. Maybe that's why it hasn't been deemed an immediate fix. Or is yours reacting differently? I wouldn't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerion Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Oddly I never had much problem with this bug before 1.2. After 1.2, it has become rampant. Companions with guns out isn't so bad...but ignited lightsabers is pretty annoying I must admit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebigdoubleu Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I too noticed that it's basically guaranteed to bug out after 1.2 For Kira anyway, the weapon drawn bug seems to be related to her "combat stances." I forgot their names, but it's the armor pen. one and DOT one. So long as either one is selected, Kira would be stuck with weapon drawn. The best thing to do is to disable the combat stance, dismiss, and resummon her. Just remember to reactivate one of the stances before starting combat. It's a drag.

Monoth Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Another issue is with Cut Scenes, you will the see the blades glowing by themselves in one area and Kira will be in another area during the cut scene, it really kills the immersion of the cut scene... I'll try and take screenshot next time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taalbert Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I agree, there's nothing like running around Fleet, or Coruscant - with Aric running behind me with that bleepin' huge cannon pointed at me....scary. Just scary. Just watch where you point that thing...ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just scary. Just watch where you point that thing...ok? I like it better when I do something that makes me umount my blaster cannon from my back (fortitude, etc) and the animation doesn't dock it back to home, so I'm running around with a huge heavy blaster cannon and holding it with one hand. Looks awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieAlteHexe Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Yup. This is one of the nits that I pick in this game. Makes me grouchy. Also when you use your weapon to blow something up it gets stuck in "wielded" position. However, I just smack the "z" key a couple times and that's sorted but not so with companions. I wish that you could say: Oh for heaven sakes, just put that away for now, willya?". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also my companion's weapon becomes invisible every time I exit an elevator...not sure if I prefer it either pointing at my arse or just not being visible at all! Poor Aric and his weapons malfunctions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorrida Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I have noticed it too on all of my toons and I have come to a point where I avoid companions with a sabre like the pest. It's not the animation that drives me up the walls, but the humming sound that's permanently in my ear from the light sabre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emned Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Since 1.2 this bug also found my Kira...it's kind of annoying(especially if she sheaths the lightsaber while it's still on. It would be nice if the sheath/unsheath button also would work on your companion or have a seperate button for that one...or just fix the bug...

AriosVolXanath Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Nadia has her lightsaber on all the time, not a big deal but yes a little annoying. Suggestion to BW: Would it be possible to map SHIFT+Z to companion draw/sheath weapon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xQuicksilverx Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 My companions are always strapped and ready to go.. No reason to complain bout that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polebreaker Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 The stupid thing is that in beta, the companions would just holster or ready their weapon based on your own stance. Yet another bewildering functionality removal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzD Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) The stupid thing is that in beta, the companions would just holster or ready their weapon based on your own stance.

Shadaii Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 This drives me up the wall. I have had this bug ever since I started the game. I tend to prefer using my Jaesa/Kira companions and it really frustrates me that they never put away their damn light sabres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neamhan Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 This seems to be a bug that keeps cropping up off and on since the game was released. Now it seems to be back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightSaberAddiCt Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I especially like when you are on ship speaking to Nadia, and you see the lightsaber floating in the air next to her. She must be practicing her force control lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember while leveling up my trooper, Aric Jorgan would just walk around with his auto cannon unsheathed. And we would walk into the Senate Tower. I would have my rifle sheathed, but no, my companion thinks someone in the friggin' SENATE TOWER in the UPPER CITY OF THE CAPITOL OF THE REPUBLIC is going to ambush us. And don't get me started on Tanno... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamaj Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Ya, I've noticed this too since 1.2. Jaesa will not put her weapon away. I took it from her thinking it would solve the problem, but she still acts as if she has it out, so I usually just dismiss her. My wife has the same issue. I haven't noticed with Khem, but then again his sword isn't as noticable as a light saber. Xalek and Jaesa never put theirs away though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrexwingblade Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Same here. Kira and Lord Scourge both do it. I don't mind my gun-wielding companions doing it as much as the saber-users skewering themselves. The shift-z idea would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
