Thread: Weekly Roundtable Discussion (Week Ending 3-1-04)
To float wookiee armor past Lucas Arts? Are you kidding me? This should be no big deal at all. There is nothing in star wars or expanded universe that states that it's illegal for wookiees to wear armor....They already blew the jedi's way out of proporation, giving us armor isnt going to hurt anything......

There is a very nasty factory bug where the factory's output hopper gets 'full' any where from 40-80 items. When this happens it shuts down the factory. This may be caused by ghost items that game thinks are in the output hopper but were removed or some how experimentation on factory storage size that doesn't works some how got turned on with the lastest patch. This is a very distruptive bug and is difficult to work around. You can remove crates from the output hopper and place them in the input hopper. However when you are making servers subcomponents you run into storage problems. This is becoming a game stopper for crafter and needs to be hot fixed.
Another issue is Dantoonie and Lok. These are advanced worlds that many people populated with cities. However the servers were never set up to handle that level of population. Now they are very laggy and unplayable at peak times. This is a game stopper. Althought the nightly crash problem was fixed, the horrid lag is still there. What is currently being done about the lag and when will it be done?
Thanks
I think this bug has to do with having 75ish CRATES (of different things or some such) in your output hopper. Remove items from the output hopper when the run is done and this won't be an issue I bet.

Oh one more thing:
Loading screen tips
Many people suddenly discover the ability to flip merchant vendor/bazaar windows to the next page, but only after 5 months of playing.
This seems to be one of the things like the Light (CTRL-L) that needs to be shown on the Loading screen tips. Its not obvious enough, its difficult to change without changing the whole UI of the vendor/bazaar screen. So just make it an obvious tip in the client.
There's quite a few other things that need to be put up as tips on the loading screens as well. Just look at the tips thread and see what the most common ones are.
How do you switch to the next page?????
The next button in the bottom right of the screen? Where it says 1-100 items, if there are more items for display there is a next button to flip to the next screen of items.
Well, it really doesn't have to LOOK like composite, although I agree it'd look a bit silly, it just has to be SOMETHING.

Actually there is quite a references to wookies not wearing clothes. But that is beside the point. Again, I have nothing against u hairy guys and girls getting some protection. I am just saying that it is not in the EU and Star Wars universe. And yes I am a firm believer that they totally screwed the jedi thing. The way of becomeing jedi is rediculous. All they accomplished in that aspect is to ruin the entire game, now no one is even working on trades or professions for their enjoyment but some sick obsession to become a jedi.
I personally believe that is the reason for the silent holo, once you made it to the silent, you are added to a list and when they decide to throw some bones they allow someone to be one. But that is my own little conspiracy theory
But not all characters get armor. In any MMORPG. I mean that would be like a wizard wearing a full suit of plate male. I mean it just doesn't work LOL
I know all you wookies are gonna hate my guts and flame the hell out of me, but I just think it would look silly to see a bunch of wookies running around in composite lol. I mean have they ever said they were going to offer you armor? Just curious about that.
I mean every character or race has certain attributes in the + and - and I think that is just a minus for a wookie.
But I don't really think that using +24 type font and bright green letters really helps in any event. It annoys everyone. Instead of typing BIG HUGE DEMANDS make a decent arguement for it. You will probably be taken more seriously and get alot more people in the boards to back your play.
Now give me a second while I drink down some Flameout cause I know it is probably coming hehe...
Fix the profession problems that have been broken since launch. These should be higher then any bug created by changes, since they have been around longer.
Example??? The pistoleer specials dont work, about half of them dont work as you might think OR even as they are described. In the Top 10 Pistoleer sent in Way way way back when the devs admitted it sounds as if they are not working as they should, and that they would look into it. Well? Where is at least an update, of "we have been looking into them, and making some changes/working on it."
What is the deal. I hear about all this development on othe stuff, NEW stuff. I know that the profession devs work on several professions, but why are they working on all this new crap, when the original crap doesn't work?
Please help me understand, and please make feel like I didn't waiste my time with say pistoleer. There are other professions with similar issues, stuff not working since launch, but I am pistoleer so thats what I know.
I'm quitting the game, and you are directly responsible TH. Hope you feel good about that.
