I thought that the term 'de-buff' was DEV speak for the ability to 'overwrite' existing buffs if they were of lesser quality. Remember the 'which is better, duration or power' thread?
Is this issue still under consideration?
Debuff is dev speak for the removal of buffs (for any reason) or a debilitating (or anti-buff) effect. I'm not sure which is meant for the patch message.
Somewhat related...What do you all think of states (poison disease dizzy etc) being put in this window?

Logged onto SWG earlier and buffed myself (all packs have 3 hour+ duration) then had to leave for 30 minutes, logged back on when I got back to find my buffs had gone (character sheet and new 'buff box'showed no modifiers and I was unable to equip my composite armour), I was also unable to rebuff myself (received the "You already have aenhancement to that attribute" message).
This is a major problem for me as I have all my stats migrated to max my mind so I cannot really take part in any combat now unless it is one shotting spice fiends and chubas. I haven't tried a complete PC restart yet but I need to go out for a few hours so fingers crossed it will have sorted itself out when I get back.

I remember this being stated too, that buffs would be able to be removed and reapplied, by a red name.

has anyone tried having another person kill u (duel and db) than either rez u or u clone? see if that kills the 'you already have this .....' message?
i've used this before when i got this message and it clears it right up, but i don't know if with the new changes this will still work.
just an idea......
I did last night, but didn't duel, I actually died. And from my experience 2 out of 3 times I could buff myself again,but the 1 time is all it takes to ruin your night of SWG. Even if you duel/DB, you shouldn't have to do that right after you die. If you don't like the buffs thats different, but after you just died and clonedyou should not have to Duel/DB.
There might be a slash command for it but I wouldn't know what it is.
As for the icons- I really want to know what states my group have, so moving them to the buffs window would probably not be that good. I can look at all my groupmembers right now in the group window and see their states as well as mine.
I'm used to EQ with its 1 big box... so I have some ingrained habits.

I'd be against moving them there, but allowing them to be added there as a user-option would be fine. Especially, in the case of poison/disease, if it shows the time remaining.
As for buffs, the only problem I had was in trying to rid myself of them. Logged out, /quit, neither worked. The buff icons dissappeared but the buffs remained. Finally had to get killed to remove them so I could get a full set.

Just my personal musings BTW, the devs haven't asked or anything.. I'd post a thread for that.
