Helpful Guidelines:





1. If you keep crashing to desktop, try doing a "Full Scan". You will find the Full Scan button at the bottom of your launchpad after you log in.


2. This thread is for TC Bug Reporting Only and NOT Live Servers. TC runs a different code base than Live.

3. Please post Bugs, Gameplay Problems, Exploits, and stuff that's Broken.




4. Please do not repeat bugs reports that have already been logged here. This thread is checked every day, so if its in this thread, the team has seen it.






SomeTips that are really helpful for the QA team in duplicating your reported bug:

(Being able to duplicate or "make the same bug happen again" is a key ingredient to squash the bug)




1. If something is gone, please log where the item used to be (Planet, Location X,Y)

2. If you find an NPC that doesn’t work, please provide a Name, Planet, Location X,Y





Thanks!




Please note this is an In Test only thread. Please do not respond to it if your answer does not relate to the issue as it stands on the Test Center galaxy. Off topic or unconstructive posts will be removed without warning.

Currently stim droids only take regular stim As (wich seem to cap at around 100 power). Could you consider allowing to use Enhanced StimAs as well (Stimpack A+) wich go up to 125 or so power?

Oops forgot to report my bugs along with this:

Stim droids report a weird speed number, it isn't related to seconds or anything humanly understandable, could you change it so it displays the delay between stim requests in seconds?


If you tell your droid to harvest hide on a creature that has no hide to be harvested, it harvests nothign (like for humans with macros...). Could they instead harvest a random res out of the availaible ones, if the preferred type isn't availaible?

Lairs (and NPC bases) are no longer being damaged by HAM targeted hits and bleeds (healthshot, headshot, etc) but are still being damaged by vanilla hits and HAM untargeted shots (such as strafeshot).

The combat spam shows, but the orange bar does not take any damage, and the hit points do not decrease.

Unsure if this is a new bug or a new fix, but it's new.

Mobs :


Even if not engaged they tend to warp a lot since a few days.


New to this is, that if they warp they also float in the air, if the area they warp to is below the point they warped away from.


This can lead to nasty situations, like a mob you were collecting DNA floating like 30m over you = not fun.


Happend to me on Dant and Cor so far, idont knowabout other planets yet.

hope nobody minds my re-posting this



  • there is no way toselectively /addignore the Barker Droids we will see how the spam works out on live...
  • using /bandflourish with the PlaybackDroid quickly depletes its action pool and should only deplete its batteries
    this really decreases the effectiveness with the droids, because without using /bandflourish the music is just droning and annoying... with using /bandflourish most droids only last a minute or two
    TH, would you please see if this is as intended, and if so, why?
  • Playback Droid can be used by any level entertainer... should only be able to be used by novice+ musicians and dancers IMHO this is a minor issue though

thanks

Had this happen with two other users I know of as well as me.


When logging in to the Test Center Login Client, we enter in our user name and password and everything is fine. Then whenwe hitPLAY after downloading the days patch (havent noticed otherwise, but it hasnt happened yet since TC almost always has a downloading patch) and up pops an SWG message box "You dont have a valid account for Star Wars Galaxies an Empire Divided". Closing the client completely and restarting fixes the problem.

Concering Mob Warping when low on HAM.


Currently, when a mob gets really low on HAM, like 1%, it starts to try and run away, but at a lower than normal speed. However, what's been happening is that the new fix to prevent mobs from getting stuck is adding a new equation to this formula. What happens, is that after a few seconds of this 'running away at low speed', the code for 'mobs being stuck' kicks in and warps the mob to where it would have been if it had been running at full speed. The engine doesn't take into account as to the reason why the mob is moving slow, it simply assumes it is 'stuck' and kicks the warping code into gear. Additional checks need to be put in so that the code doesn't make this mistake.

Droids now lack "store" on the radial menu of the droid itself. Droids do have "store" in the datapad menu.

Musicianbuffs are still nonfunctional, ever since the "2 minute minimum" patch. They do not work for passive buffs or for active buffs.

I am 3040 scout and visited endor. I've done a mature hanadak rock crusher mission ( 11k ) and killed some mature hanadak rock crusher. But I can't extract any resources from the corpses. I used /examine and it showed me that I can extract bristley hide and carnivore meat. But there was no "Extract resources" in the radial menu and a /harvestCorpse did nothing. No errormessage appeared.
