I voted for #1 many times cause its about time we got mission terminals

------------------------------------------
High Chancellor- KGB SWG
Hotron - Master Riflewoman, Master Pikeman
Nereus - Master Doctor, Master Politician
Ysaanne - Secretist Extraordinaire

I'm putting that as follows:

1. 1


2. nothing


3. nothing


4. nothing


5. 4


6. 5


7. 10


8. 12


9. 16


10. 21

As mentioned in the post about the voting, duplications don't count. (It would unduly outweigh any one persons vote and invalidate the preference voting method I use, which already weighs your highest priority higher anyways.)

Just let me know if you want your vote counted differently.

whee, more corrections

Discussion:

• Issue #23 (droid recharge rate) doesn't fully capture my issue. The problem is that there is absolutely no way to tell how charged up a droid is. I don't understand why it can't have a bar, like we have a HAM bar, that shows power usage as it goes down, and that allows you to add power when it's almost out. Also, we desperately need clarification of how droid power is used, and what affect the slowly draining power has on the ability of the droid to do what it's supposed to do. Being able to stack batteries would be great, but without some indication of how powered up the droid is, what effect the power has on its abilities, and how long the power will last, makes stacking batteries useless, in my opinion.


• Issue #11 (targeting self) wouldn't be an issue for me at all if the /healdamage me macro worked as it's supposed to 100% of the time. Right now, occasionally I'll hit that macro button and get the message that the target must be a player character, or something to that effect. That should never happen, regardless of what I have targeted at the time. Otherwise, I can just hit ctrl-1 and accomplish the "target self" command.


• Issue #13 (enhance drop notification): What I'd really like is an enhance timer that ticks down, especially for my own character, but a "your enhancement will expire in..." notification would bean acceptable alternative. (I have the same issue with weapon power-ups, which just expire, but at least witha weapon power-up you get a clear notification that it's expired. With a buff expiration, all you see is stats bleeding, and if it's a secondary buff, you don't even see any impact on the HAMbars.)


• Issue #31 (mounted healing) is really critical for me if I get suddenly attacked whilemounted. I can deal with not being able to heal others while mounted, but if I can't heal myself, I'm liable to get killed/incapped if I can't take the time to dismount during battle.


• Issue #26 (healing range/distance) is a particular issue with pets like graul maulers. In battle, I can /follow someone and usually get close enough to heal them, but with large pets I never get into range that way -- I always have to manually walk closer before I can heal them.


• Issue #29 (droid/pet change concerns): I am very concerned if droids will be able to effectively replace medics in the field, and if someone without even novice medic skills will be able to use them. I don't want to be a vendor -- I want to be a healer -- and there is little enough need for my services now. Making them less needed/less useful will simply give me more motivation to drop Doctor in favor of some other profession. I play this game because it's a multi-player game, meaning I want interaction with other players -- which also means I'd like to be considered someone good to have around on a hunting expedition. And I chose Doctor because I like the healing professions. If I'd wanted to be a professional crafter/vendor, I'd have pursued artisan. I don't want to be reduced to selling stim-packs as my primary vocation.


• Issue #24 (heal pack selection) is a real annoyance. I don't understand why higher level/quality heal packs aren't normally given use priority over lower level. If that was the case, then I could place lower level packs in my quick-key bar for those times when I didn't want to waste a Stim-E or a Wound-D. Right now, it seems totally random. Alternatively, it should automatically select the pack with the lowest number of uses remaining. I can live with almost anything, as long as it's rational and documented.

I'll add the charge level display to the issue. The seond part, though, i'm not sure I understand. A droid should only have tw states, Charged and Low Power. There should be no difference between a just charged droid and one that is almost ready to go into the Low Power state. We have seen a new oddity in that droid in the Low Power state is now actually allowing Wound Healing actions (such as buffing) to occur when it would not allow that before, and when it does so it appears to apply a negative modifier to the healing action (and hece you get low buffs.) Better being able to keep the droid out of the Low Power state and a cleare indicator when the droid is in the Low Power state would alleviate that problem.

• Issue #11 (targeting self) wouldn't be an issue for me at all if the /healdamage me macro worked as it's supposed to 100% of the time.

I'm having no problems with this, but if you are using "/healdamage me" I can see why you might be having issues. The proper command is "/healdamage self". I have heard there is a problem with /healdamge (playername), though, but I've always had problems getting that command to work in that it just ignores the name and tries to affect whomeverI targeted (and if you have nothing targeted then default target is yourself, whichis why it might appear to work intermittently.)

FIX THE KITS THAT EXISTED BEFORE THE PATCH!!!!

My crates still say 79 med use but when i take out of crate they say 91, FIX THEM I MADE THEM BEFORE THE ******UNANNOUNCED******** NERF.

I don't care nearly as much about all the stuff on the list as much as fixing the stuff I made for myself before the patch and I can't use (countless resources/time/money).

It doesn't look like you mentioned to the devs the fact that we have tons of crated enhance packs that we can no longer use.

If this has been addressed then cool, I just didn't want to read 8 pages of posts.
