I'm not sure if this has been addressed or not, but...


Some mission-giving NPCs and some heralds no longer have chat bubbles nor the chat that allows you to choose your answer (a la the trainers). This started with the last publish (last week's). Text that says "Thanks, here's your reward" or "Talk to my lackeys" or whatever, does appear in the chat window, but not in chat bubbles. This seems to be a problem only in non-static NPC mission-givers (and some heralds). The static ones seem to be ok, at least for accepting/refusing missions.


This makes accepting missions and/or canceling missions rather tricky.

I just wanted to mention (and yes I have submitted a bug report) that the even if I insure my stuff Decays. this started Sunday night. i submitted a Cs Ticket and the responce I recieved was to Insure where I clone..... so they didn't bother to read the ticket or have a clue on how insurance works. you can't reinsure until dying.


Could we at least teach the CS people the basics of the game?

PLEASE remove the "make text bigger" thing... it is clearly being abused... and it is really no fun to read a message in this kind of writing...

TH,


Out of curiousity is the /moveFurniture up/down command still scheduled to be included in publish 7? A lot of people have been waiting for this for sometime, myself included. Some may find this addition to be stupid and trivial, but many others would disagree. It adds a layer of depth to the game and allows you to fully customize your houses and PA halls to a degree that you simply cannot do without it.






Your friendly neighborhood Ranger,

I'm not quite clear what it is that you want and why you would want to get rid of such a kewl feature?



It makes life so much easier when reading the forums on a 1920x1200 resolution on a 15.4" LCD screen on my laptop!!



Getting rid of this font size would take away my ability to get get the immediate attention of Thunderheart so that he can read my ever so important post and promptly ignore me!



I implore you, fellow forum user and SWG player, please don't ask for such silly things in the future that are obviously here for such important reasons!!

I play from 2 months, but i really begin to be frustrated. Too much bug, like a Beta release:



  1. The chair, always after a few second "i fly away"

  2. The vehicles, if i repair it in the garage it remains wounded, notif i use the bug of the shuttle

  3. The friends list, i'm mayor of our city, i have lost all my comments there so one months of works fade away

  4. The city rank, the dev choose a sistem that's really bad. A city with an unlucky update timecan wait FOREVER

  5. Some times the players disappear, all need to relog

  6. When i want to write a mail i need to close 5+ white window

If the service would be gratis like other multiplayer i think i cant rant about this, but i pay 140$ for year so i think its my right to have a "nearly" perfect game.


I think its better make something for the many bug and not always (/shout) NEW FEATURE (lol bugged )

Ok about the crackdown i just have a couple small complaints... first of all the only time I've seen stormtroopers in the cantina is the first day of the crackdown... i dont know what happened after that but i want those rebels to get bothered more and feel more wraith..


The main thing is the DoT nerf or whatever it was.... The commandos got off soo easy... now they just kill u in one hit instead of burning you to death... much more fun.... but all the bleeds in the rest of the combat trees have go to hell, they are pointless. All you did was make them another single combat attack since they do NO DoT damage at all... My power hammer with mind hit 2 does 300 max on a NPC and like 40 or something in PvP. Completely pointless... I think u guys just added and extra 0 in there by mistake... ill give u guys some credit... but really now thatentire branch is useless.... Please fix this cus the bleeds really werent that bad the burns where what was horrible... the bleeds were easy enough to heal.


Ans also why does it seem that even with my Heat res composite the fire stream goes right through my armor... I must of missed the GIANT HOLE in my armor the last time I looked...

One possible answer is to make a high level "dirty fighting" combo attack involving any weapon held, plus a free kick. The point-blank shot that Han Solo fired under the table at the first bounty hunter shown in the Star Wars movies (Guido) was most certainly a dirty fighting attack, immediately lethal, and moreover it seemed quite unexpected; alternately, a form of "concealed shot" might be allowed that permits a smuggler a very short range attack against someone who isn't overt and opposite their faction. While this would be excessively powerful, it might also keep people at arm's length from smugglers, which seems realistic anyway. Few people would trust a smuggler, and a smuggler that can hit a non-overt (non-neutral) factive character might be both of great value but immensely untrustworthy.

And i thought the g-tef issue was bad enough. It would be a VERY BAD idea to add this to the game, Hell i get flamed for poisoning an overt if he passes me while running through a city on his wayto get more faction missions.

People are exploiting the geonosian dungeon on live servers by bypassing the invisible barrier meant to keep people out and gaining access to their private farm and exp areas.


This needs to be addressed ASAP

Please..... please tell me you are doing something abuot the Combat Medics. I donno. Maybe Air filtration for Helmets or gas masks for people? Maybe less mind damage to give the victims a fighting chance? Cuz the Guild battles have basicaly come down to Poison/disease battles. Everyone else seems to getknocked out of the fight as soon as the first shot is thrown. (ooo Maybe an area cure disease/poison for the doctors? (that costs no mind tothrow. (smile)


Oh, oh an of course the being poisoned through walls seems to be a big issue with folks. I am assuming the combat Re-vamp is gonna take care of all this Combat Medic grief. Don't get me wrong....I don't want to phase out the CM....... but these dang medics are taking out Pure fighting classes with no problem.


Oh and I would like to say I appriciate all you people that made this game. I know you get flamed 99% of the time.... but you have created a very nice game. And I can only hope that people realize that fixing a bug is sooo much harder that just clicking the "fix bug" icon buttonon a screen. I am no code writer, but even I realize that it is very difficult sometimes to fix even the smallest bug.

.



Couple things that I'd like to see....



1. Colored houses..... would be cool.

2.Thigh high boots. (grin)

3. A way to terminate a buff at will.

4. Stronger Stormtroopers. (I would say more of them but I am afraid of lag.) the poor ST's just get the snot beat out of them all the time....there is nothing for the rebs to fear..... and if the ST's were something to fear I think it would greatly add to the "feel" of the game. Right now it feels like the Rebs are the dominant force...(except on Bria with (Ghost) and thier numerous allies) but on all the other servers I play this seems true.

5. Pets banned from cantina's

6. Less Randomness to the Doc Buffs....I mean I play a doc and get a lot of flak cuz the buff is mostly random...I mean it is not like I use cheap stims or anything.

7. Nah...that all i got for now. heh



OH... Most important! A Role Play only SERVER! A dedicated (enforced) roleplaying server would rock. Maybe there is one, but I haven't heard of it yet.


That is my 2 cents.

How about cutting down on the wait time for shuttles/starships. What purpose does standing around for 9mins and 58secs serve? Will our pursonal ships have an more agreeable solution to interplanetary travel, or even hopping around on one planet itself? Personally, I cannot find a more annoying aspect to this game than reaching the ticket droid, double clicking it 7 times with no response and watching the ship take off and leaving travelers stranded for 10 whole minutes. How useless is this?! Why is it even part of the game? Its ridiculous.
E-me with a response, as its unlikely I'll be back to this thread for a long time.
