Further adjustments, or improvements, to the Swoop Racing tracks -


Allow conversing with the race track droid to be done from a mounted position. Those precious few seconds can mean a world of difference when clearing a record time.

Does anybody ever intend on addressing the various concerns about Jedi frs farming and how the non-Jedis are now the ones in hiding? I wish a dev would read the GCW forum. There's been a ton of complaints about how these 2 new problems are killing off the GCW for everybody....except Jedi of course.

The tab cannot be deleted. The Auction channel depends on the server side so that it can connect people from all over a planet (whichare several servers each).






So it's intended that we cannot get rid of the auction channel? That's crazy! I don't want to read people's macro-spam in a window wherever I go! It makes me feel dirty and I'm sure it steals some precious bandwidth from me too.

TH,


I know this is not any Dev issue, but there is many people wondering about these chats.


The Chimaera server has during the past weeks experienced heavy chat lag, and we've been without chat, mail, friends list, /tell etc,during two hours every night. This makes it very hard for any activities to take place and get organized.


We have been speking with the CSR who reply with automatic messages, and one TSR I spoke to said that the chat server had been restarted all ready. You have any idea of what problem this might be? We havent been able to check out the new chats because of this.

Please remove the auction channel and allow merchants to have auctions on the bazaar with no cap. This will reduce the spam on the chat channels and also reduce people's reliance on the trade forums. Since not everyone uses the forums, this should increase the availability of auctioned items to the general populace, good for both the buyers and sellers.

/agree

Or, another option could be to change the Auction chat so that you can only speak in it from new "Merchant Pavilions", kindof like the ID tents. That way you could advertise you were holding an auction for X valuable item at a particular time, to give people time to get there if they want to bid.


Merchants could stand in the tents and advertise (spam) if they wanted to, and buyers could also head to a tent to broadcast that they need certain items.


This should stop people from just chatting in the channel, as it will be much easier to chat in the Planet channel instead. Would still allow for an open forum for advertising, buying, selling and auctioning.


As for spam in the channel, yes its a bit annoying, but I think most merchants will try not to "overspam" as it will lead to people /addignore-ing them. Personally I have redone my ad macro so it sends an ad to the Auction channel every half hour. Not huge coverage, but hopefully not annoying either.

If you logout after completing the race, but before talking to the cooordinator to record your time, you can inadvertently set a very difficult record the next morning after server restart, because as soon as you converse with the coordinator, he records your previous time.

I hate the Auction tab with a passion. I want it dead, I want it gone, I want it destroyed, I want it gone, gone, gone. Let other people use it if they want, but give me the right to delete the tab. I have enough spam in my real life e-mail and when I wander around Coronet, I do not need additional spam.


Allow me to remove the Auction tab!


Question: would this work: if I were to become extremely obnoxious on the Auction channel, spamming obscenities, would I be banned from the Auction channel? Please?


Thewt







I agree. I don't want the new tabs...I have absolutely NO need for them. Why force these tabs onpeople that have no need/want for it?


I was very happy with the way things were with the tabs. I only need Spatial, Combat, Guild and Group. There is no need for extra ones. Please give us the option to remove the tab permanently...

"(quick fix) Either take jedi accuracy up to above 150 (should be over 200, because jedi should be 20% stronger, and a TKA has over 200) or fix this, and make it so that none of the melee professions counter-attack, melee migitation, melee defense, and dodge will work vs. a lightsaber. It's sort of pointless when I'm doing less then 50 dmg a hit, and I miss 75% of the time. (yes, tested) when other professions do 500 dmg a hit, never miss me at all, AND bypass all my defenses (if I was suicidal and picked the defense tree)"


Surely these people who do so much damage to you are ones who have Mastered their profession. In that case the damage done should be left alone. remember you are still a fledgling Jedi are you not? You cannot expect to be dishing out maximum damage just because you have opened the slot. Those who have mastered their professions are obviously going to hurt you as you are not as adept at fighting with a saber as they are fighting with their skill..


Rather than nerfing everyone else so that the servers end up just Jedi. Lets look at the positives of not beingable to kill all that works with one whoosh of your flyswatters. Jedi is a hard profession and like all others you have to work at it to become master. Nerfing others all the time is not the way forward. walk before you try to run is the route forward. Also there is no real downside at present for Jedi as they can run arround in open view for all to see. Jedi is supposed to be a secret religion. I should not be walking into Theed to find 3 or 4 standing there for all to see. If a Jedi makes themself visible to others there should be far more danger to Jedi by doing this. Bh's can obviously hunt them however there armour is now of no value against a lightsaber and there are less Bh's out there at the moment due to what was the high point cost to master it.


Lets keep the Jedi how they were meant to be. In the shadows.

The droids seem to be working pretty well....now how about giving us a way to actually defeat Jedi Knights and above.

You say you want BH to control the Jedi population then give us the ability to do it. Saber block negates any ranged attacks we can make, force run outruns even my swoop bike and to top it off Jedi healing is compareable to a master doctor. They can lay on their backs (if you're lucky enough to put one there) and heal all damage/state effects multiple times, whilst blocking shots from multiple ranged masteries.

Picking up a melee profession with investigation 3 is a nice alternative but is still restricted when it comes to killing Jedi. If you want us to hunt jedi using a melee profession then make Melee mastery part of BH pre reqs. I'm starting to feel sorry for the low level Jedi because all the bounty hunters are owning them and stopping them leveling up while the true prizes, knights or those near to that level, are free to roam at will and destroy entire groups of players.

Forget swoop tracks and all the other planned decorations and PLEASE give us some balance. You want us to hunt Jedi then LET US!!!!
