Thread: Weekly Roundtable Discussion (Week Ending 2-9-04)
Hey TH, I have to put in a request here, but first let me explain my dilemma. I am trying to put together a Museum which will be a combination Museum/library in essence. The library section is basically done. But for the museum I have to use rooms other than the main room in a medium naboo. I have plans for the museum where in I will have each room dedicated to something different, such as a galactic armory where rare and unique weapons will be on display as well as armor from famous PvP vets. Another room will be rare objects and rare resources no longer in spawn with very high stats. The Museum could look great...IF, I could move stuff up and down. The citizens of Jaxian Bay have donated stuff to me to put on display, but as I sit here with all this stuff to decorate the museum I am FORCED to put it all on the ground because:
A: I cannot move it up and down on the X axis
B: I cannot set it on the stairs and move it through doorways.
Now I cannot put together a respectable player structure like a museum with all the items sitting on the floor. And I cannot sit and wait for another possible three months until the devs decide to put this feature into the game. The citizens will not want to have these rare items, some of which are no longer craftable in game, sitting in my possession for months waiting for this patch. They want them on display in the museum where they are meant to be. So let me now return to my selfish request.
Is it at all possible to get this feature implemented into the game before publish 7? If not, I understand. The museum idea will probably die from having been on the drawing board for far too long with no way of getting off the drawing board, but again, any assistance on your part to possible speed up this process will be greatly appreciated.
FISHING
Could we get fishing fixed? I believe it's broken (my1st time fishing, so I'm not familiar with all aspects unfortunately)as I can cast my line, but I don't get the fishing window popping up (the one that has my tug options etc.). I also don't see my bobber..... 
I know it's not a biggie, but I decided to take a vacation from my business and spent quite a bit of time getting a pole and finding some bait. I really was looking forward to some relaxing fishing, but ended up more grumpy and frustrated than ever before.
Thanks for letting me vent

Fix the Warren please. Never seem to be able to complete it because holo grinders or something are always there messing up the sequence. I have tried to do it at least 20 times and so far something messes it up almost every time. Eitheer some other person/group taking the keys or pass codes you need and the respawn is to slow, or someone messing up the sequence and the place goes lock down right after you get in.
basically a waste of space as it seems most things are becoming.
Dont know where to post this so Ill post it here and hopefully it will be read by someone who can pass it on to whoever fixes this stuff or reads these ideas and makes changes.
2. Planets like Dathomir where the starport shuttles now land on the roof of the starport area instead of crashing right though like they used to have no Latters or steps leading up to the Shuttle. How are we susposed to get into the Shuttle? You can still use your ticket and all and planet traveling works, but if you were rollplaying or whatever, there is no way to get up there to the Shuttle that I have found.
3. In the Ctrl+D Window, it has Check to only show waypoints on current Planet. It works fine until I logout and log into the game the next day and for some reason it is unchecked again and I have to recheck it. I think it should stay checked.
4. The Meditate Animation is bugged even more. Now when Meditating, my character just sits down like I pressed the /sit command.
5. Republic Blasters can be used by everyone in the game even if they have no Marksman skills. Dont know if this is what you want or a bug. Its nice though for Melee's when they are chasing a npc all over the map not getting a hit in because they are too far away and you take out your republic blaster out and hit them a few times so they will stop running and get in range of your fists you can start punching them again.
6. When I switch to a Toolbar other then [1] and logout, the next time I log back in its back toToolbar [1] again and didnt save what Toolbar I was using when I logged out. It would be nice if it did.
7. While I was in a group the other day, I was clicking on a players name in the list of names to the left. A list came down and one of the words on the list was something like LOOT CORPSE. I think the player was either incapt or dead, I forget now but I just remember the loot all option I had. I dont think this command should be in the game anymore because corpse runs were taken out of the game and you cant loot your corpse anymore. This should probably be taken out of the drop down menu.
8. I press Ctrl+P and go into character and select to show a profession under my name and then close the window. If I go back into Ctrl+P in character and then select NONE it shows no profession under my name.
The problem is when I log back into the game the next day, there is the same profession under my name again that I had up just before selecting NONE. Everytime I log in I have to keep changeing it to NONE now if I dont want a profession to show up under my name.
9. The combat que in the top right corner that shows up everytime you begin attacking (dont know what its called). Anyway, I moved my toolbar all the way to the top right corner and the combat que thing just under that to the right. When I log in the next day it resets itself back to the top right corner again and I have to keep moving it down a bit where I want it. This should stay where I put it.
10. The thing on the screen where it has the Email icon and all the other icons (whatever that is called). That is cluttering up my screen. I dont need it there. Only thing I use it for is to see when I get a new email. The Email Icon flashes so I know I have new Email. -- It would be nice if I could just have the Email Icon and Hide all the other Icons on that bar instead of having to have them all show up on the screen. So an option to hide the whole bar or just some of it is what I am suggesting here.
Teras Kasi Meditation
Worked just fine until one morning with no updated patch notes, the meditation animation stops happening, and the toon sits. They still meditate, but the no longer do the classic meditative pose.
Player Difficulty Calculation
One day as a master Teras Kasi Artist, my missions form standard terminals are challenge 30. This number would be correct if I add the 18 from my elite prof, the 6 from my starting prof (im a master brawler) and the mysterious 6 bonus. Terminals all read out 25 now.
I don't know if it's that the code is such spaghetti over there that changes in one system affect others, thgat you don't think players will notice, or that you figure it's not important enough to tell us when things change/break like this. None of these answers should be yes.
I dont know whats been going on lately but you guys are actually getting worse at the daily server reboot. It is taking over 2 hours each morning to reboot some of these servers. Can you move the time up from 7AM EST for the east coast servers to say 5AM??? 7am to almost 9am each weekend morning is a bit hardto swallow. Better suggestion actually, Can you stop doing server resets on the weekends?
Also considering that we are flying on ships between planets do you think we can get some directional indicators on our on screen radar? I dont think it is out of line to ask for N S W E on the side of the radar.
Repost from the countless times I already posted this and got no reaction in these "communication" threads:
Thunderheart, I have asked a very simple question on all [insert appropriate number here] of your communication threads now. Known Issues page yes or no. And you have not even acknowledged it. How many times am I supposed to ask ? Should I sent you money ? Shall I beg ? Shall I bow to your might and kiss your feet ? I will not. I'm a paying customer and if you pretend to communicate, do so or cancel it.
