Thread: Daily Test Center Bug Thread: Friday, March 19th 2004
It happened today to me when I flew from Mos Entha to Corellia. I pulled up the Planetary Map about five minutes after arriving, and it showed Tatooine. I mentioned it in TCPA chat and a QA person messaged me that he was having the same problem.
To check the problem out further, I then took an intra-planet shuttle to Tyrena to see if the map would reset to Corellia. It didn't, it stayed showing Tatooine.
Then instead of going home, I flew to Theed to see what would happen. When I got to Theed, the Planetary Map showed Naboo correctly.
So then I flew from Theed back to Corellia (esp. since I was holding a Cor->ME return ticket that I didn't want to waste) and tried again. This time Ctrl+V pulled up a Corellia map. I then took my flight home to Tatooine, and Ctrl+V showed Tatooine again.
This has happened to me before, today's not the first day. Last time it happened was a few days ago, sorry I forgot to mention it here.
"Is the bug that allows players to auto-fix their vehicles fixed? This bug has been in the game since vehicle release and no one buys vehicles at all now (since they can auto-heal even disabled vehicles)."
Regardless of whether this is on TC or Live...it costs more to repair a vehiclethat is near 0 conditionthan it does to buy a new one. They should fix that before they fix the auto-fix bug.
I spent about an hour last night leveling fighting skills by running between 3 or 4 sentry hermit lairs. After each kill I'd hit my harves meat hotkey (simply "/harvest meat;"). Over the course of the night I had 3 problems pop up:
* maybe 10% of the time, but streaky, the harvest command left the meat on the corpse for no reason known to me. At all times I had roughly 20 free spaces in my inventory and the only time i've seen this triggered in the past was if my inventory was full.
* ONCE I harvested some Insect meat (8) from a spider and that stack of meat was bugged and did not auto-stack with the existing pil of 200+ in my inventory. I could not drag the small stack onto the larger to force the issue either. Logging in this morning I don't see the mysterious small stack so my guess is that it was some kind of "artifact" of the autostacking left behind and never cleared.
* this one may be simply a matter of my lack of playing a scout for a few months, but to get around my first problem I changed that hotkey macro to "/harvest meat; /loot;" and I don't know if it was lag or what but the loot always triggered before the harvesting was done. To get around that i simply tossed a "pause 3" in between the two commands. Not sure if this is just the way it goes or a bug.
This all took place outside new unity on naboo/test center.

PLEASE HOT FIX THIS "HEAL YOURVEHICLE WITH ATRIP" BUG ASAP.
My business of selling vehicles has gone to ZERO due to this persistent bug.
I feel for ya man, I know, it's crap to try and find something people will consistently buy, but hear me out, from a combat-based character's point of view. There are still mobs out there that attack vehicles, even though they're not supposed to, so by removing this little feature you're dooming me and many other players to paying 30k every day or two because the devs missed adding a few lines of code? Please hotfix the auto-repair on travel vehicle bug, but if you do, hotfix the mobs at the same time.

Writing this toconfirm Jvani's event--I had a similar event happen to me.
Similar event took place with me last night. Was deleting random looted objects while in cantina in Mining outpost on Dant. After deleting 5 objects (combat staff, CDEFs, etc). Went out to mission term. Opened datapad to call ATST. ATST was gone. When I checked log-the log shows it was destroyed, somewhere in the middle of the other deletions I had made.
So, I felt the pain of that event too.
3/19 - Imperial Stormtrooper started to do the contraband check on me in Kaadara as a fight broke out between a rebel commando and stormtroopers. Although Iimmediately dropped out of auto-run and was within a couple of meters of the stormtrooperI still lost 50 faction points for not complying.
3/20 - Unable to group with other players.
I was deleting a selected cdef from the last inventory spot in my top level inventory window but instead deleted a stimb (after getting a message that I deleted a stimb).
Was possible inside a base at the time.
Bestine's Curators Quests:
This is still broken and unable to complete, but the NPCs have changed from last time.
Kleepa Laeel (Mos Espa Bank -2765 2111) is the only one that currently is currently working,
Kahfr Oladi (Mos EIsley Bank 3475 -4974) worked the last time, but no longer works, Tells me to leave him alone because he is a great artist.
Vavni Hotne (Lucky Despot 3311 -4655) coulnt get a conversation with him.
SInce the only one to talk to me was Kleepa, the Bestine Curator wont let me vote on his monthy art display,
Misc:
I logged my rebel alt into my imperial alt's house last night and recieved the following system message: You can not enter this HQ until all the turrets have been destroyed".
I keep getting my speederbike stuck on a bridge in Theed, When I use that bridge to go to the starport and dismount in front of the starport, my bike warps back 400m to -5232 4307, the bridge next to the Theed cantina.
Destroy item bug:
I had some problems like Jvani here, except mine was in the datapad. I was out taming creatures with my wookie CH. I had finished taming a low level creature for the xp, a nuna (baby). I went into the datapad and clicked the nuna and hit the destroy radial. I got the confirmation box saying are you sure you want to destroy the nuna. Then the system message appeared you have destroyed a wrix. So the system deleted the wrong datapad item.

when a backpack is placed in a house sometimes when I open it I dont see whats in it. But when i examine it, it says Contents 15/5O. Then when i clear my inventory and pick up the pack and look at it throught my inventory the items are restored. So basically just sometimes when backpacks are droped in structures they dont show the contents
I've seen this in live too. The way I figure its a cordinat mismatch. The reasion I say that is if I sit down for about 10 minutes when this happens I sudenly jump from the back room of my small tat house to the hall way leading from the front room to the back room.
