Please remove companion categories

Hello:

I would like to propose the removal of companion categories. I.e.: Fighters, Creatures, Invokers ect... as it stands we get our companion bolster from the top 5 companions "in a category". But if you've been playing a while like I have, you've been chasing BiS companions for years and they switch categories all the time. First it was Con Artist/Sellsword, then Fire/Air Archons, then Chultan Tiger ect... each one in a different category, making max bolster hardly possible without significant investment into companions you don't care about. I'd like to see it changed like Mount Bolster where you get your bolster from the top 10 companions, regardless of category. Or, alternatively, you can keep the categories, but just make companion bolster come from the top 10 companions, like mount bolster. Thanks.

    In the preview server, the categories have already been combined, but 10 satellites will have to be improved to get a 100% boost. We will see all the changes on the live server soon.

    Just keep working to get all you comps to Mythic and you'll be golden (or Mythic).
    I'm not looking for forgiveness, and I'm way past asking permission. Earth just lost her best defender, so we're here to fight. And if you want to stand in our way, we'll fight you too.

    They are removed already on preview. Just wait for the new system to go live.

    I tested on preview and not only have the categories been removed, so has the cost and time training them. Wait for module 20 to drop, in late January before you upgrade, or you may be sorry.

    Its a relief to see the companions return to their pre-mod 16 arrangement. The only problem is that the companion role (Tank/Striker/Healer/Augment) was also removed from the companion descriptions which makes selecting the right companion for a situation more than a little confusing especially for newer players. Perhaps if a role-badge could be added to the companion's inventory icon?
