To change the subject I would like to ask if it is possible to have a list of known bugs Posted on the website to protect us from mistakenly using them and being banned. Its only fair that there is a warning for everyone about what would be considered a expliot or a bug.

For those of you out there Yes I do have common sense but I would like someone to just point out the major bugs in the game that could be game breaking. For example when you place a shuttleport on less then uneven ground and when the server shifts and covers both the ticket collecter and the ticket machine what do you do ? redeed it?

This is something I would like too see happen rather then just have people scream and yell about bugs and things. You can list them and people would check that link and see what is being worked on them and prevent them from posting. Although I know this would kinda put you guys in a jam because if one problem is left up there for a while people will complain why hasnt it been fixed yet.

I dunno I would like to prevent people from getting banned and trying to see if there could be another way of warning not to do expliots.

How about a fix for the no-ham-cost flamethrower,and heavy weapons range exceeding turret range allowing turrets to be taken out with no risk...

ok wooohooo logged on this morning and droids now dont work at all leaving our whole proffesion as bh totally unusable right now. all ya get is option to examine and destroy. this is the fix soe? great job. you know the 250,000 people you say have subscribed 13 dollars a month = like 3 million a month and you cant get your head out your butts to breath. 6 months same bugs now even worse to the point we cant even track normal marks not jedi. Bh is a joke right now right now and all you can do is make things worse. i have offered constructive critism that gets no responce and goes unheard im sorry if i seem angry cause...I AM.

hats of to a 3 million a month rip.

You have removed the 1% decay penalty for PvPers, but ignored the majority of the players who only PvE. When I pay to insure my items, I want them to be INSURED, not only kinda sorta insured and still losing durability. If they are to lose dur, it should be from use or my own stupidity for not insuring.

If the idea of a moneysink is the issue here, make insurance much more expensive than it is right now and remove the 1% decay for everyone.

wooo hoo best thread ever!!

instead of a forum full of shouting we have reduced it to a single thread .. jumbled.. mixed up .. no continuity whatsoever... weeeee!!

this form of communication is perfect.. now the devs can ignore what we say and claim "sorry it must of gotten lost in the posts" and actually have a valid excuse!


Great job soe ... can you find another way to ignore your playerbase?

How about fixing mission spawns. Too many times when I was a novice BH my mission would have nothing there, or on some occasions be in a battle field where I could not attack target. Today I did my first mission where I had to track my target to another world. I found him AND HE WAS INSIDE A WALL! Aarrrgghh. Please check these things somehow so targets are not inside solid objects.

I would like to have open discussions with the Devs concerning the FAILED Jedi system. It needs changing! There is a precident for this, the FAILED combat system is getting a complete overhaul and kudos to the Devs for recognizing it was sorely needed!!

Now lets have genuine dialog pertaining to the FAILED Jedi system and get it re-worked!

Before I even dive into what I would like to see, I would like confirmation from the Devs that yes they in fact agree the system needs a serious overhaul!! So TH is an overhaul of the Failed Jedi system an option or not? Is that too much to ask for our $15 a month?

I agree, the jedi system is a total joke. I'm not particularly against the method of unlocking, it was not very creative, but at least they finally added it. The problem is that jedi were supposed to be strong enough to survive with some work, maybe even PVP some, yet most of them cannot hold their own against anyone in PVP. Jedi NPC's have light, medium, and heavy armor, which is what makes them strong in the first place. Jedi players lack this and do not gain much strength as their skills progress. If a jedi does not buy ubese or composite armor and get a full set of buffs before every hunt he probably won't survive very long.

Was it the dev's intention for a jedi to be heavily reliant on other players? Was it their intention for them to be super weak? Was it their intention for a jedi to need millions of credtis even thought they can't own a house or harvesters or anything of the sort? Why is jedi apprentice exp still not fixed? Where are the jedi dev's and what are they doing to finally add jedi to the game? We have something that resembles them and weilds a ligthsaber, but we don't have "jedi".

Badge Display Question

With the advent of all the new badges, bio reading has become more difficult. I have read that there are plans to revise the display of badges but until that happens I was wondering if it is possible to swap the location of the bio and the badges in the examine window. This would put the badges at the end and make the bio part easier to get to. This would be a temporary fix untila better badge display system is built. Just a thought.

Where are Kstarfire's posts going?

Is throwing poisons greater than 64 meters distance by combat medics considered an exploit? It does allow certain players to hit other players while they are essentially unattackable (except by other combat medics). If it is please announce it so people can stop.

Hear that sound?

/FLUSH!!!!

It's the sound of this entire thread since basically TH posted it, then abandoned it.

They didnt want any "weekly" discussion, they wanted a single place they could ignore to take the place of the SWG forums closing down...

Creature Handling seems to be screwed up, I can't seem to get more then 1 xp point with my pet no matter what I kill. I have used pets in the 30-39 level with the same result. I need to have this fixed since good ol' holo said I must master CH next.

Anyone else having this problem? Is there a work around? I noticed this started happening since the last patch or a few days ago since I haven't been able to log on lately.

Thanks in advance!

lol it's so true.

But on the slight chance they do read this, I'd love to see /tells appear in your chat window when you're in guildchat just like they do when you're in spatial, I miss tons of tells because I just can't see them since I'm very rarely in spatial. Is this a possible change in the future?
