Clean up the companions window

[Mubrak]

With a new storyline starting in 6.0 can you please clean up the companion window?

 

So my Juggernaut has all original companions back, great; but now they're all over the place:

 

Vette is a "Main Character"

Quinn is a "Companion"

Jaesa is a "Companion: Sith Warrior"

The rest is hidden under dozens of "Other Followers" and in their pre-KotFE versions as "Unavailable Companions" (Before I started Jedi under Siege only Jaesa was there).

 

At least move all our original class companions that aren't main characters of the current storyline in one category and get rid of the unavailable doubles, better yet, add a "Main Crew" category and let us choose the companions that should be listed there.

Agreed, it's a complete mess. Main Characters, Other Followers, Companions. Class Companions, Alliance Specialists, Unavailable Contacts.... there's way too many categories, and there's no reason for some of the categories to be on the same page. It makes it a royal pain to find a specific companion.

 

Alliance Contacts could easily be split off in their own window. Never made sense to have them cluttering up the list of companions you have available. Likewise, the unavailable companions could be split off, since you have to go to a special terminal to summon them anyway.

 

As far as available companions, apart from some reorganization (mostly some way of getting the class companions back in one spot), we also need some sort options. If I have a class companion at level 50, I don't want to sort through a bunch of Influence 1 KOTFE characters that I don't care about. At the very least, sorting by Influence would be immensely helpful.

YES, please! I totally agree that companions window must look different and needs some tidying-up. Maybe create an ultimate and very last, one-time-only form with check-boxes, where players must decide for the very last time the fate of their companions. Mass Effect 2 had this option as far as I remember at the beginning of the game.

Remove the blinking alert icon.

Stop resetting the drop down menu every time I close out window

Organize companions by influence as default with a toggle to select favorite.

Give option to kill companion

Yes I would really like this also. I think the class, *Original companions should all be placed back in their own catagory then all the others we've met in some other category. The Zakuul story is over, this is 6.0 starting a brand new phase for SWTOR so our companions should be resorted accordingly. Plus the companion window is actually false (For me anyway) it shows most of my companions *Not Returned although they're all back. 4/5 through alerts and one the Odessen locator funny thing the 4 through alerts those are the ones shown to not be returned; maybe now B.W. will Finally fix this *Bug. On top of this my class companions are listed more then once each.

Well, the companions I use most are some of the KOTFE ones, so I'd prefer to see them remain at the top of the screen.

In a perfect scenario I would love the ability to order the companion menu as I wished, or pick favorite companions to be at the top of the list. I'd also like the dead/exiled companions to be moved to the very bottom of the window and have that section be collapsed by default. Obviously if I killed off certain companions I don't need to be looking at their mugs every time I scroll through my companion list looking for someone I do want to use.
