Thread: Publish 8.2 Feedback: Group Enhancements
ive been having trouble with the group display. There have been 3 seperate problems recently:
#1 Group members improperly being displayed as on a different planet. PC that are actually with 8 or 10 meters of me are being displayed as on another planet.
#2 Group members being listed more than once. Our group leader today was listed both at the top of the list as the leader and further down the last as on another planet.
#3 My HUD is not displayed. It just isnt there.
None of these were resolved by relogging. I have submitted a /bug.
Thunderheat when will these bugs in group display be fixed its getting more and more unplayable with those. Its even unpossible to coordinate anything when in a group with 4+ members...
btw found a new bug for myself in it, nearest mission is even when only 2 ppl r in group not always showing the nearest one, sometimes its showing old already done missions, sometimes its showing the farest mission
#1: Was in a man consisting of 4 people. One of the group members was not listed as a group member instead another person was duplicated.
#2: A wierd thing happend yesterday on a shrnaff hunt. We arrived at the "nearest mission" WP and found a war gronda lair. We laughed and started bashing the poor creatures and ended the lair and during our little slaughter a person was running around screaming (he seemed rather annoyed) that this was his mission and that we should leave it alone. now the "nearest mission" wp showed this lair as ours so i dont know what the heck the deal was really. Just another freak incident in the twilight zone also known as SWG i guess
.If you dont care about the bugs it works great

We added two enhancements to groups in this morning's hotfix:
Groups
- When in a group, a waypoint to the nearest group mission is displayed. The nearest mission is the mission closest to the most people in the group.
- Group member status bars will continue to report position information, even if the player is on the other side of the world. If the group member is on another planet, the planet name is displayed in the status bar.
Have you been able to take advantage of these items yet? What have been your experiences?
The group mission waypoint would be awesome if we ran missions as a group, I would personally like to be able to toggle it on or off.
The group member thing is bugged. Sometimes it will report the same person twice if you go off planet then come back. I like the feature that tells you what planet the group members are on but would be cool if it still told you the members NAME and what planet they are on instead of just (planet). The arrows are great though, great work there guys.

Also, make the closest mission for group OPTIONAL.
