Thunderheart,


I noticed a lot of problems pulling missions over the weekend. I was trying to pull a mission West, and I find one that is the price range I want, and it says it's 1250 meters to the West. I grab the mission, and my wp is 500 meters to the NE?? This happened to me numerous times the past few days, and I've never seen it happen before. I /bug'd it, just bringing out to you attention as well.







I think the issue here (because I've had the same thing happen) is that if it's laggy and takes a second to accept the mission, if you've refreshed already, it will take the mission that is in the same place as where the mission you accepted.


So if you pick the 4th mission in the list, accept it and then refresh real quick, the new list would pop up and you'd get the 4th mission on the new list.


Just be more patient and I'll bet you don't have this happen.

Something totally off-kilter that I haven't seen posted anywhere....


I've noticed that maintaining a city is extremely expensive. Property tax, sales tax and travel tax only seem to go so far. Those things actually hurt the citizens more than anything, and don't really add very much to the city fund.


What about things like Garages and Trainers actually helping the city's funds. It's extremely expensive to repair your vehicle. 10% of that could really help out the politicians. Same thing for the trainers.

I hope iam in right forum and thread with that.


Look on the sky - u can see ISDs - Imperial Star Destroyers. And then look on any official images of ISD! One very good is here - http://cgi.theforce.net/theforce/multimedia/imageFolio.cgi?action=view&link=Images/Classic_Trilogy/Starships/Imperial_Star_Destroyer&image=EvasiveAction2vcap.jpg&img=32&tt=.

Can someone tell me why ISDs in SWG are so different? I know about different versions of ISD - ISD I, II and III. But every of them have "globe" on bottom. U cand find a lot of another differences...

I'm sure this has been addressed many times before, but I have to say something about it....


If all Doctor, Dancer/Musician and Food/Drink/Spice buffs go away when you die, your stomach should be empty as well. I'm sick of waiting for my stomach to empty after I die. It makes no sense.

What's with the developers griefing us?


I spent days going onto the corellian corvette to get the pieces for my brandy new AV-21 landspeeder


Now, it's at half health, I brought it to a garage, and repaired it for 5432 credits, and it was repaired, I then rode off to a shop outside town, stored my speeder, and called it, it's back at half health, my AV-21 is going to eventually die in a few days becaused the devs haven't fixed the vehicle repair bugs.


This is causing my time in the corvette to be an unneccessary time sink, a time sink that lasts a couple days, and with no reward to speak of, because my reward will be DEAD!

Any chance we can get the Dev Tracker to only show SOE devs and not Lucas Arts community reps. No offense to ShiraOcto, but most of us check the dev tracker to see what is going on with the game, not what the maximum number of kittens one can bring to a hotel in California or how many places in the hotel's area serve beer at 3am.


As I write this, on the first page of the Dev Tracker, here's the score:


ShiraOcto 13 posts

Thunderheart 7

Q-3P0 2

Just-G 1

Holocron 1 (Yippie, he's not dead!)



Shira is posting more than the entire rest of the devs combinedand she's posting about stuff 95% of us do not give a damn about. And the thing is still a month away.



Ceej - Eclipse

Creature Handler - Rifleman
Getter of Hides - Shop Location -330 -5500, just south of Coronet

The No-Main-Jedi Petition is currently up to 64 pages without a dev response.

I havn't been able to Powerboost in the past 4 days. I get the message that i can't channel my energy any further as if i'm already powerboosting. Havn't been able to coordinate with a CSR yet.

Tavian_McMaster, you are only speaking for yourself


I would rather see the Dev Tracker expanding to moderators too, then anything else like reducing it.

TH your latest answer to the wookie crafters apron means that this was done knowin wookies would be screwed over yet again....this is totally unacceptable in my mind.


i own 2 crafters aprons and now ur creatin a diffeent set for us.....bs


i can gaurrentee i will start petitioning from this day forward to have our aprons exchanged for workin items,anythin=g short of this will be the last strw for many of us mate.ill simply vote with my visa for another game.


im not subsidizing inept poorly deployed shallow game content any longer.


and to be totally clear,im not waitin past this next publish either mate.


ill simply find a buyer for a master chef /jedi account,and kiss this crap goodbye.


Although we have armour now,it took massive rerolling and chars leaving,and a public outcry for months for soe to do anything,now were told that the crafters apron was opurposely put through with no wookie support,and to wait for a general later fix......think again.


think the last wookie sit in was large mate ......there are alot wookie crafters,on all servers,and we can pull in support from wookies of all professions.


the total garbage laid at the feet of wookies by incompetant design,inept deployment,and deceptive communications by soe has to stop.


you have known the crafters apron wasnt able to be worn by wookies from predeployment,that is a inditement,of both the system,and it took 2 months after the fact to fibnd this out....TH sorry mate but you and soe are dead wrong,and have been dishonest.


if this straightfiorward talk gets me banned so be it.this dishonesty has to end now

TH, I noticed something new in the game that wasn't in the patch notes. The stars on ATi cards are showing up correctly now! I love it. It's like a whole new experience when night falls now.


Pass on my thanks to whoever finally fixed this.






Some of my pet peeve bugs:
•Armorsmith protection layers were not converted with the CU.
•Ship Details window does not close when you click "Travel" resulting in the message "You have lost the target. Closing interface."

oh and TH all it takes to fix this issue is make the crafters apron not a vest,and make it like the normal chef arpon,and all reces can wear it.


so that answer again doesnt fly,soe is stonewallin us again


who gives you these answers mate?


obviously not someone who knows what there talking about.


i think its more the case that they arent gonna do anything anytime soon and this gives credibility to there not doin anything.


again disceptive and dishnest communications at play


i wont bother with this live chat again.


ill simply begin the protest phase
