I like the new Crafting GUI - very useful - and thoe CON mode. However ..

>>Fixed a problem where some of the UI menus, like the cloning screen, would auto select a blank line.<<

I never had this problem before, but now I do. When shuttling, the system automatically selects a blank line under the destination.

On the subject of shuttling, various cities and their facilities seem to be disappearing from the system. They exist and you can wander round them but they don't show up on the maps or as shuttle destinations.

/agree


the /findfriend option has potential for misuse. Especially for BH's they could just add their targets name to their friends list and then /findfriend and they can find them easily!


Can someone clarify if this would work or not? Its just a slight concern thats all. If its impossible then i still agree with the above, although could get annoying after a while. Maybe an option to turn it off so that you could choose if you want people to know where you are! Or (I know this has been said already) the option to allow only certain people to find you.

I mean, sorry but its so so stupid that will make all of us remove friends... where is our right to have friends but be able to move where u want to? now people is like: oh oh u on Tatooine -345 7867 lol a game inside game?

The new color bar in the crafting window are more a problem than an enhancement for me.

the reason is simple. I'm a DE.

This bar use all the stats to concider the color, but for DE, the majority of the stats to experiment are just completely useless.

So, 90% of the time, the color is completely wrong (red resource can often be much better than green one o_O).

If you could clean up and remove all the useless experiment on droid items, that would solve the problem.

Otherwise, I would suggest to make an option to remove those bar.

The additional option to show stats on resources is very nice, but make it difficult to find resource based on name.

Overall, good.

It wasn't a different color... it had a drop shadow/black outline before... and people (myself included) have been complaining about the "new" way since the patch hit TC.

Also missing from the patch notes.... calling and storing your bike from your toolbar... and still not changed although it was expected - not being able to call pets or mounts from the toolbar.




Agree with both of those, now much harder to read names of people in the same faction.


And still no pet call , this was in publish 9 notes then reported as shouldn't have been in notes and would be in patch 10 but isn't.



Additional :


Coronetno longer has a starport on the planet map. (the map you use once riding around planet)


Dearic is no longer default starport on Talus. (reported this to the in testing thread still same now its on live).



Feedback requests :


Camera Shake Toggle
Seems to be working fine.


Con(sider) circles on radar
Works, but waste of time until rebalance because con's are so out of touch with player abilities.


Is your XP updating
I'll let you know when the mysterious stranger turns up and I can empty some of the xp off of my template


Crafting bars color bars seem usefull but I am not really a crafter and only had a quick play with it on my TC char.

The crafting changes are an improvement (thank you for that) but it does require a little more development. it would be helpfully if it was possible to adjust the percentages that each stat affects the outcome.

Calling/storing vehicles from the toolbar is, strangely enough, the happiest i have felt about a patch change since i started playing this game.....It goes to show its the small things that count.....Now, if they could put a search filter on the mission terminals.....Oh, ok i wont push my luck.

All of these are great features.

But when will you fix wrong location of cities etc. on Ctrl-V map with some screen resolutions?

That's most annoying.

Player cities not showing up on the planet map on Dantooine and Tatooine on Bria server. This is may be the case on other planets as well.

Names and creatures are too light color, problem to see it, you must go close, set to bigger font size dont help.

Please turn them back to pub 9 level.

nice job with the vehicle calls in the quickbar. This is very nice. Also the warping off vehicles has been fixed much better than previously. I kinda like when your riding and dismount your toon runs really really fast.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned anywhere, is the fact that the in-game font has been changed in some hard-to-pin-down way. When I look at people's names, and the signs on houses etc, I am now finding it significantly harder to read them. Is there any particular reason why this was changed? It seems odd, and kind of unnecessary. And, well, it makes my eyes hurt!


Apart from that - love the game, disappointed with but understanding the gating thing. And Genosian Sonic Blasters rule all.

Thanks!







So far I have seen XP updating on the UI without any issues, and being able to generate/store a vehicle from the toolbar has been very nice. The Mission Summary showing without having toopen the mission detailsare helpful, but too brief for my taste. As to checking the consider ratings from the radar, how do you turn that on? I could not find an option for it under Interface, Miscellanious or any of the other Option panels. As to the screen shake, I like the shake so I have not turned it off, but having the option to do so is nice!


So far at leastfor thesegeneral enhancements I have been very pleased with this publish, although see the other feedback threads for my responses on those topics.





Just my thoughts, do with them what you will.
