Group Loot Options

• If the group leader goes LD, then the leadership will be reasigned to the next person in the group.

Yeah, finally, when the combat crowd needs it to fix their loot systems, they take care of the issue.

Works fine, but what happens when the next person in the group is an AFK entertainer

Look, come on, we all saw the videos. We all know those dances have way too much travel not to be broken like formal and lyrical... it's the same issue. Hopefully Deila can get some info when they are going to try to fix it now that they have said they would.

The more exciting info is that now we get the whip around effect from upside down with Tumble, lol... aw, I made myself sad.

Yeah but...I think some of the actually flourishes for breakdance (or mebbe it was tumble) weren't even displaying right. It was just a total spastic mess on my end and the poor wookiee I was watching was being flung around the room like a furry pinball.

Just makes me sad. They could be some nice "guy" dance additions if they worked...

Me being the perpetual slacker that I am, I haven't progressed past footloose on TC yet. 10k from formal though so yay.

whoops wrong thread

I can come watch if given a general time and place to find people. (Yeah I'm difficult lol) but I'm a bit skeptical about the new dances after reading this thread.

I wish I could test. I got flamed on the TC forum about asking about the frogs. I have grinded the entertainer once and I don't know if I will do it again. I am not surprised that the dances do not work. If you need some one to watch you let me know and I will be happy to help. I hate mondays. Need to go to bed and hope Tuesday will be better

I saw you get flamed, it was pretty harsh. I'm sowwy

I fail to understand the snooty attitude some TC people have ("if you want to test, come build a character on TC to test with and stop trying to take shortcuts"), and quite frankly that's what kept me from spending more time on TC. I'm sure that when you've been on TC for over 1 1/2 years, you get tired of people asking for a quick way to level up. But I mean come on, one short look at your sig would show that you weren't out to be 1337 with your friends, and probably wanted to test the new Entertainer stuff.

I dunno - to every single TC person who gets all high-and-mighty about leveling up like any server, my response is...I wanna play on a Live server. Why would I really feel so compelled to grind all of my skills on TC, unless I wanted to specifically test something related to a character I've already levelled up on a Live server?

It all seems contrary to the concept of TC, and that's what I think these type of people don't understand. I would imagine they'd want MORE people on to test, and I'm sorry but making a new character and levelling up Entertainer skills takes awhile, and it's all time taken away from your chosen server and character you usually play.

Bah, anyways, I felt bad you got flamed like that. It was really uncalled for.

I dunno that the issue with the frogs on TC is really levelling up for free. Even though /cough, I think that's one of the issues many of us have with people AFKing on live.

It's just that the frogs usher in every l33t pwnz0r kiddie from every galaxy to come try out (Not actually test) PVP templates. Frogs are to TC what buffbots are to us, and the proportion of people who actually intend to use the frogs to test is pretty much the same proportion as live vs. bot. I think anything that deals with them automatically generates anger and defensiveness -- even if it's something that people would agree with when they weren't stressed out about their server being invaded by teh ub3r l33tz.

But even by people being ub3r 1337, and invading TC just to try template, that alone means they're testing things out. Server load, as well as various things they might encounter. Just as there are plenty of non-1337 people trying to do stuff in this game, there are also the ub3r folks, and they should probably be represented. If that ub3r d00d can't get his rifle to work right, or has combat queue issues, someone's gonna hear about it.

I just see this attitude of "if you want to test something on TC, play on TC." That's not exactly welcoming to the individuals who are genuinely interested in testing new stuff for their professions.

I totally agree with Warryyr. You can't properly test changes if you don't have the ability to play *your* character. What we should have is the ability to import our actual character to the server to test changes or if that isn't possible due to database issues then they need to give us the ability to set skills. I fully understand that the test center is an actual server to a lot of people. A server that they play every day on and as such do not like strangers coming in and being "1337" or ruining the atmosphere by being annoying (testing stuff out or goofing around with new changes can really put a dent in imersion this is for sure). Unfortunately though, when I am interested in testing a change to a certain aspect of the game, I should have the ability to do so properly (at the needed skill level).

Asking everyone to give up live servers and play on test center instead just to have skilled characters really isn't a well thought out idea.

No offense to you folks who use TC as your primary server, but it IS a test environment. By that statement alone it should work by different rules including the ability to roll characters for testing. A test environment should not be treated as a production environment, believe me I deal with it every day and you cannot be as ridged with a test environment as you are with production and expect a well tested body of code.
