Same problem here, except Guildchat survived, but my Groupchat is gone. Typical SOE incompetence. How about you drop some $$$ on a few testers instead of making the player base your testers?

Please remove the auction channel and allow merchants to have auctions on the bazaar with no cap. This will reduce the spam on the chat channels and also reduce people's reliance on the trade forums. Since not everyone uses the forums, this should increase the availability of auctioned items to the general populace, good for both the buyers and sellers.




Agree with the above poster. The best way would be to remove the caps on the bazaar auctions (not the sales just the auctions). Then allow for an instant buy-out price to be listed. This would also elimiate the need for the majority of the trade forums as people could browse galaxy wide IN-GAME for auctions. Perhaps even make this a Merchant Skill of some sort. I'd rather see in game mechanics than Forums with player staged rules to auctions.

TH,


When do you plan on going to the GCW boards and tlaking to us? Players have been waiting very patiently for any news regarding the current state of PvP and the combat balance and yet there is no dev response there at all. If you don't plan to post or respond to anythreads there then please say so. This way we can stop holding our breath.

I have the auction channel that i do not want, no tells, contents of my email box wiped, can't receive tells, friends list does not work, and half of the time I can't talk in spatial.

  • Fixed an issue where covert factioned players didn’t award xp to a ranked Jedi - Issue: if a group of covert Jedi gain a group TEF against a ranked Jedi and that ranked Jedi kills the covert Jedi, the ranked Jedi takes -1 XP as opposed to gaining XP for the kill. This change fixes that behavior.

Didnt get any of the new chat tabs, but you guys screwed mine up. GuildChat and GroupChat are gone and were replaced with 2 tabs called InstantMessages (which doesnt work btw). Also, my friends list is completely screwed up, no one is showing as online. I even tried adding the dancer in the cantina I am in, I get no confirmation they were added and I cant send them any tells. Can we expect a hotfix tomorrow on this?





I concur Guild and group chat are borked!!! I cannot communicate with my guild now unless it is in tells. also my alts had the correct tabs from the mini-pub today but this toon is missiing instant message, planet and aution tabs(NTM when added they dont work).. Lets see a solution ASAP pls.

The tab cannot be deleted. The Auction channel depends on the server side so that it can connect people from all over a planet (whichare several servers each).




TH, I say this needs to be looked at by the programmers again then! Why would I want this constant bandwidth drain for a channel I won't even use? Will there be, dare I suggest, moderators on this channel? No? I guess thats why everyone is currently spamming nonsense, asking for training, chatting with people, recruiting for PAs, etc.


I thinkan Auction channel was a veryfine idea, but c'mon, let people choose not to use it. Who designedit this way?Aren't there enough client/server issues without this added bandwidth drain?

I tried that. On mine it temporarily goes away, but the Planet channel appears. I delete Planet and it will staydeleted, but in a few minutes Auction comes back on its own. Unacceptable.

I cannot get the Auction tab deleted. I do not want it on my bar and I cannot seem to get rid of it. It reappears when I delete it. Please make it deletable. It isn't even hard to get this thing back.

If the auction tab cannot be removed, then MAKE it removable. All other chat channels and tabs are your choice as to whether you want them or not. I see no reason the auction channel can't be a permanent system channel that you have to add a tab for and join just as any other.


ALL chat channel and UI options should be OPTIONAL AND FULLY CUSTIMIZABLE. I won't go off on a tanget about how much the SWG UI*SUCKS* and needs to be fully user customizable (honestly the game needs a complete UI overhaul done by someone who understands what a good UI is).... but don't make it worse than it is.


Make chat channels optional. The whole add tab/join channel process could use a ease of use/UI overhaul, as it isn't all that user friendly for thenon-technically inclined, but don't force us into channels we don't want.


On a totally seperate note, please keep nerfing the jedi. Nerf them into oblivion and out of the game.

So I don't get it.

Take a system that was mostly working - Chat Channels - and complete hork them.

Bugs found in 5 minutes:
Chat Channels do not keep privacy settings (on server reset, or chat server reset)
Chat Channels do not keep invited lists (on server reset, or chat server reset)
Chat Channels do not always announce onjoin or onleave messages.
Chat Channels create a new tab EVERY time you log in.
Chat Channels do not stay in a single tabs active channels.
AUCTION channel cannot be readded to your ui.
AUCTION channel cannot be sent to by /auction or some other simple command.

Given the first two problems, this means that in order to get a Private channel, one must make a NEW channel every time they login. And so on. And so on.
