I've played this game for over a year, and this problem existed then, and it still exists today. I don't understand why we have to endure and suffer this in a RPG. I mean, they give us cantinas, they give us entertainers, they post threads on home decorating, they talk about immersion, events, parties, weddings, social calls. They give us new furniture to use and to decorate with...


So can someone tell me why to this day, when we use that furniture as intended in our RPG immersion, and try to have a decent conversation, that when we sit our good butts down in a seat, that we still get warped off our chairs and sofas?


OK maybe its not the biggest issue, but it is one long overdue for fixing.

I think it's been done for comic relief. Always makes me laugh when I walk past a building and see someone in a sitting position outside it.

The problem is the client and server do not always agree with where your character is, normall when moving they constantly adjust and it is fairly transparent (except when you warp). When you stand or sit for a while, the server and client decide it is time to sync and the client adusts you position to exactly where it should be.

Haha, I got attacked by a dead NS last night. She was completely dead, laying on the ground for a good 5 seconds and then she decides to force choke me from the grave. Now that was absolutely the funniest thing I have ever seen in this game. Anyways yes warping sucks.

I think it has something to do with the rotation rate and location of the planet you are on. On Earth it is something like 400 meters per second at the equator. If your computer is slow, and client lags, then you will slide off your chair.

Hope this helps

I had a similar experience in Kor Vella. I loaded into the starport and ran to the ticket terminal where there is usually at least one Stormtrooper standing around. There was one standing in front of the terminal and a dead one laying on the ground. As I ran up to the terminal the dead one stood up and saluted me then dropped back down as a corpse. I was momentarily startled and forgot to take a screenshot, but by far it was the funniest thing that has ever happened to me in-game.


Oh and I agree, the warping thing is annoying

Well, it doesn't happen when we're standing, only when we're sitting. So it can't be that hard to fix. Even if they map the person to the object, so it refreshes the position to match to the chair, sofa, etc. Something. It's lame that at any gathering, peeps are scooting all over the place, so everyone just stands, and their text bubbles get convoluted cause they're standing on top of each other... big missed opportunity RPG-game-wise.

It's not player warping that bugs me it's NPC warping.


You spend a few minutes fighting a high end NPC until you've almost won, they then decide they've had enough and start to walk away and then "Woosh" they're suddenly 100m away.


To top it all if they manage to get back to their original start point they have a FULL HAM again. Now that's annoying!!

OH YEAH !!! That too. How do you like playing Chase the Nightsister? It is annoying isn't it? Funny how many little things frustrate us, if little they are, and don't get fixed for so long. We all seem to settle for mediocrity in gameplay, proly just to live the Star Wars brand. Let's face it, if it weren't for the "Star Wars" stamp on this game, the C to D grade it would have, would kill off their customer base.

You look at everything thru the first person view? I can't imagine that. Do you do that in combat too? I get claustrophobia just thinking about it.


Very interesting.


I know I'd like to be able to do that in JTL with the cockpit view on, but the cockpit view is way too constricted to a small view window, at least on Imp ships it is.
