Companion being dissmissed when taking an elevator

[znihilist]

Bug: Having a companion summoned while in a group, said companion is being dismissed when using elevators.

Example:

1. Summon companion
   
2. Enter the imperial Heroic Area on Blackhole daily area with two other human players
   
3. Attempt to use lobby elevator to proceed to next area
   
4. Summoned companion is dismissed after transitioning and must be summoned again

I missed seeing this thread earlier, and posted about the issue in another. My apologies to BW for creating a new thread, but I can confirm that what you describes happened to me also. Additionally, companions get dismissed when you take a taxi ride. Three of us played several heroics, using my companion for the 4th group member, and I had to summon him over and over. A few times we started combat before I realized he was no longer there, but fortunately we did not wipe because of it.
