This may be beyond your scope, but I frequently get "empty string in prose formatter." It cycles repeatedly. I think it only happens in server city med centers.

Here is the exact text:



The container you were inspecting, Joe (inventory), is no longer available.



With Joe being a character's name.


It even happens right when you log in, and not just arriving at your destination from travelling via shuttle.

Wow, I just noticed that the online manual has the Smuggler's prerequisites wrong:







Smuggler: An adventurer able to sell contraband and collect spice.
Requirements: Pistol Specialists ( Marksman), Business IV: Business Diversity (Artisan), Unarmed Specialist (Brawler) & Engineering Specialist (Artisan)

That's kind of a big deal, and is annoying. You only need Unarmed 4 and Pistols 4 to become a Smuggler.

oops, sorry... wasn't very specific:


in the dancer fatigue healing line, the title is spelled "captivater" instead of the correct "captivator"

In the Jedi Initiate tree all your specials are 1 handed hit attacks, HOWEVER, if you examine a saber it says "A two-handed Melee Weapon"

i play 2 characters at the same time (2comps ect) and i have a major problem with " Ghost mode" my Doctor will dissappear from my TKM's screen, or visa-versa causeing me to not be able to heal him.


I'm currently playing 2 CH at same time, and my /assist doesn't work. It would be Great if i had a macro that said /assist /attack, that way my atl can always have my main on target.


There should be a Number code to delete your pets like there is for a house. I have a quick hand and i'v already deleted a few pets lol. opps


Humans should be able to have M0-hawks


Most importantly, I'm on my silent holocron. I'v mastered 8 professions so far. I'v found a very podent/obvious pattern. I remember reading post's from dervs' saying that no one could figure out how to unlock the FSS so they released Holocrons. Is there a small matrix on how your character is played to determine the classes for his FSS? If so, then i will unlock mine very soon (knocks on wood).


In EQ there was a low level spell called Eye of Zoom. It would be cool to have a low-level pet/fimilar like that for PvP spying purposes lol.


The Tusken Carnage Champion doesn't give expierence points for killing him.


I think i'm bugged on looting crystals, my friend plays 2 - 4 hours a day and loots atleast 1 a day. I play 10-17 hours sometimes, have killed over 4k NPCs and i'v never looted one . check that out please.


Meditate action looks like your sitting instead of the meditate action. (Valcyn) cant tell if i'm sitting or meditateing.


I'm Currently Mastering CH and i'v noticed once in a blue moon i get double the Expierence for a single kill. i'm confused on why that happens?


Large houses should be able to hold more than 250 items if thats possable. lol i still have 3 rooms to finish but its packed full.


Starships on dantooine and dathomir dont show up on my screen.


Every sence the Speeder patch, i'v hardly seen any Mounts. I vote that a MCH should get a special mount that goes as fast as a Swoop or Speeder bike and flys/huvers to bring the feel of nature back.


Not complaining just placeing down the minor flaws with a few questions along the side, i was under the impression that this is the fourm where i do that

Not sure if these points have or have not been pointed out as I don't have the time to sift through 13 pages:


Efficiency is spelt incorrectly in the case of 'center of being' and numerous other skills

This second one isn't really in game, but I get annoyed every time I see 'weekly rountdable' on the message boards (could this be fixed?)

When you activate a waypoint, you can no longer read the text for that wp in your datapad. This drives me nuts. I don't know why, probably because it is such a simple bug to fix and yet it is not done. Kudos to Q for making this list and checking it twice and even beginning (?) to attempt to fix some of these.

The Bh carbine special Fire Knockdown doesnt set things on fire and should really be Knockdown Fire to reflect that its just a quick rush of carbine fire and not a flame attack.

When using a /harvest macro on an NPC while fighting:
"You cannot extract resources from %TT in your current state."

When running away from an entertainer you've been watching:
"You stop watching [character's name] because it is too far away."

During combat:
"[name] tries to hit [mob's name] but him evades!"

And also during combat, not sure what caused it, but probably a grenade:
"NO GRAMMER DATA FOR:[cbt_spam:throw_fragmentation_miss] result[567767305]"

Sorry if these were posted already. =)

At some point recently all DNA samples became DNA "smaples" in their description. I know because I compared a few of them the day it hit and reported it immediately.
