Any group finder content that you get the daily reward for is valid. So don't do 3 story mode uprisings like I did only to learn just one of them counted.

Figured I'd wait a day before updating and logging in to see how things are. Didn't lose a single character name and my bugged meditation chamber regen item is still bugged. I don't know if the changes to the cartel market happened with this patch or before it but HOLY poo poo they put a whole lot of stuff up in there. Finally got a cathar honor sword and a gamorrean axe so a dual wielding axes bare chested Sith Berserker's now a possibility. Snagged a set of Thana Vash's armor for the hell of it and currently debating picking up the tusken armor too for why not.

Do companions get any attention after the original class quests?

I've just started on the post 50 stuff after years of not playing, and my companions are just standing there mutely during conversations. In my class quests they always had poo poo to say about my choices.

They have a few comments on Makeb I think but that's it until KotXX stuff, which hasn't got every companion back in the story yet.

Thank you! My operative already wears that helmet but I've been starved for decent Imperial chestpieces.

Nice, that is actually a pretty decent outfit.

I always loved that helmet, but with previous versions of it they inexplicably weighted it for facial animations so the face part would distort during cutscenes. I'm curious to see if it's still like that...

If you do Armor/know the Armor people any chance of more of the armored robe look i.e. Valiant Jedi, Sith Recluse? Uhhh of the hood down variety.

I seem to have all my weird names so yay weird naming gimmick works

But logging onto my gunslinger to do some crafting tonight I discovered a bit red warning about Bowdarr's vibrosword not being legit. BUT that character has none of the companion weapons, unlike all of the others.

Soooo, IDK what to do.

Is it the old Devoted Allies vibrosword? There's some funkiness with those, I'd just grab any random Vibroblade and equip it. (grumble grumble why isn't he using a bowcaster grumble grumble)

When I first came back after something like 4 years away, I noticed they had taken the pants off of all my companions and mailed them to me. At first, I thought I had been a pubbie or something.

This was a bug at launch of 4.0 and was the greatest bug of all time. Especially if you had decorated your stronghold with your companions, you zoned in and suddenly they were all pantsless. "Ummm guys, what's been going on while I was away?"

Couldn't you see other people's companions spawn in your stronghold as well or something? Sans pants, obviously.

I decided to reinstall just to see if I needed to change any names after the merges, and of the 10 characters I have (one for each class story plus an extra couple for variety), only the Chiss Agent had to be changed (I just added an apostrophe in the middle). So, maybe those people whining about it on the official forums should be more creative and/or stupid/1337 about naming their characters something like Vayp Cloudington III or Burpin MacFartster.

I came back to everyone at least pantsless or in thier underwear with one to two sets of thier clothes in my mailbox. I was torn between wondering what the hell happened while I was away and thinking I need to check my credits to see if bail money was needed.

There's only one thing in the mountains that leaves a track like this. The creature of legend that roams the Timberline. My people named him Sasquatch. You call him... Bigfoot.
I see they still haven't fixed the bug where HK-51 is equipped with a rifle he can't use when you unlock him on a new alt and so doesn't actually help in combat, just sort of stands there.

It is! And I already tried to equip a different one but it wouldn't let me get rid of the devoted allies one. Might have to write a ticket.
