Thunderhart,
This is a very serious bug, we found out that we can join other guild chats, and private channels is no longer private.
We need an hotfix ASAP.

I don't want all of these chat tabs all over my screen. How do I go about deleting them and having them stay deleted.

What about the Combat Balance BEFORE JTL?
I care more for balanced Combat, than Ships. Yes Ships may be
fine.. but we need a reliable, good ground combat first!

1 month in the galaxy as of today. (more on that in another forum).
Post 9.1-
LAG, LAG, LAG.
Also, how is it that a one-line brainstorm makes it into a 'minor' release, when promised changes don't?

- "Added options in the chat options menu to filter out chat from /afk players"
This is a great first step. Can we take another step though towards fixing the spamming problem? This filter is easily worked around (just put /afk in your macro).
...
By doing this, it will help prop up the Merchant profession some (although there is other brokenness with Merchants that needs to be addressed as well). You could also encourage the use of an "auction" chat channel (which players could create on their own today) by making an /auction command in game (yes, players could /alias it, but the whole reason people use /shout and /yell now is because it's the most likely to hit the most players).
Spam at starports is very annoying and it has gotten worse. Please fix it!

Does anyone know the shortcut / command for the new auction channel yet? As spatial is /say, /g is group chat, /gu is for guild chat what is the / for auction chat. Also the / command for the planetary chat may be helpful as well. Thnx
Those commands are on Test Center and should be in the next hotfix. They are /auction and /planet
Sorry if I'm repeating someone here... I've read alot of posts tonight but can't remember seeing this...
TH,
I would like to recommend that the push of a /auction or /planetcommand be wary of the possible AFK implications. This command leaves alot of room for trouble. An AFKspammer could very easily have a macro which flooded these channels. If you think the situation is bad near coronet imagine server wide AFK spammers macroing advertisements in the Auction and Planet channels.
I joked about his with my guild upon discovering the channel... and was pleased to see there was no current command to send text to it from another window. I can see the macros now though.
/auction "Skill tapes for sale. Grinding resources 2cpu and less. Krayt pearls for 1k. BLah Blah Blah Blah Blah"
/pause 5
/macro AuctionSpam
Without fully functioning filters (mmm consonance)both channels will become worthless very quickly.
The auction channel right now? I've already seen tons of great auctions and participated in a few. I like the way the auction channel is working and look forward to working with it some more.
Again sorry if I repeated someone here.

The race is very cool. As far as the swoop bikes being slow, I think Not. I posted a 318 with a swoop.
Now if i can get my hands on a AV21 We will see.

Second post for different issue:
When I log on I'm finding that certain windows are doubled if not tripled in my chat section. I'm getting 2- 3 Instant Message windows and any chat channel I was in prior to logging is duplicated 2- 3 times as well. Each time I log in I have to delete 5 or so "doubled" channels.
This is kind of as annoying as trying to send a g-mail and having 16+ e-mail windows open under the one you're writing.

Beautiful job on the swamp swoop races, I spent two hours on Starsider racing and selling 15 swoops and loads of paint kits to people that had totally ruined theres trying to beat the 320 somebody posted.( Incidentally to the above poster who camplained about Av-21 buying the races, they were unable to break under 330 yesterday with lots of swoops in the low 320's.
People talking smack, others talking strategy. Head to head challenges. One of the most fun days I have had in SWG since the Beastine/Tuscan Live event.
People talking smack, others talking strategy. Head to head challenges. One of the most fun days I have had in SWG since the Beastine/Tuscan Live event.Today is a different story, I loaded up on newly crafted swoops and VCT and showed up at the track to see a 248 record for the day. I soon find out that it is posted by a Jedi with Force Run 3. I was stunned and speechless. Total apathy from the people there to race. No fun. No selling of swoops and paint kits to the frenzied masses. Just an awful lot of profane frustration from the people that showed up to try and take a crack at the daily record only to find out that it has been sold out to the Jedi along with so many other parts of this game.
Please fix this soon. You cannot afford to put so much nice work into a cool side game with alot of Starwarsy flavor and then render it pointless for the vast majority of universe.
God I hope the devs actually read these forums. This is and atrocity and totally unneccesary.

why in the hek did you make that dang auction tab undeletable?? I want to remove it from my interface. I deleted it and no lag it comes back and with it 6 second lag. you made all the other tabs removable and I HATE being forced to have this damned tab I do not want please make it so we can remove it as it is lagging me badly and making the game unplayable. I have deleted the tab numerous times only to have it reappear. I want it gone now.

Profession: Combat Medic
Added a minimum throw time to combat medic apply disease and apply poison
If you were hoping to make pvp more viable for your customer base you failed.
I would not mind so muchif the CB was coming.
But its not.
You really should have polled your customer base to get a feel for whats important to them.
Just canceling the CB on us sucks dude.

Even though I am a resident grump and complainer... bravo on the racing system! Very well done... ran through the course last night. Now I just have to figure out how to shave the seconds off my time... 
Now, just let us hack our bikes and everything will be perfect.
