OK WT* HAPPENED!

Here I was swallowing my pride and using the darn Crafting macros when BAM! the farging Devs make it so the draft schematics are all out of order! Now this wouldnt be a problem if the schematics listed their number in the details or if you could reorganize the schematics by number but NOOOOOOOOOOO! WT*!! WT*!! WT*!! We get it! You want to shut down the game! OK! Just do it already! If you Devs really hate being paid to sit around and play with C++ all day instead of producing something tangible... JUST FARGING QUIT! Stop messing up what would otherwise be a great game! Crafting is the only part of SWG that is fun even when pointless, but just like everything else you nobs have thought up it is only playable at the masterlevels. WE CAN'T GET TO THE MASTER LEVELS WITH OUT A GRINDING MACRO! Geez I wish someone would pay me...wait... OVERPAY me to sit on my butt and think of ways to tick off a bunch (and I do mean a total @$$load) of starwars nerds. Crist what more do you people want! You already have the worship of thousands of middleaged guys who live with their moms! FIX IT!

Today was the unveiling of yet another patch. (Publish 11.5)

This is of course another complaint with it.
First, I would like to say if it ain't broke, then don't fix it. Today I was going to do some crafting and to my surprise none of my macros worked yet again. Everytime you guys mess with the datapad I end up having to spend a half-an-hour tweaking my macros to work again. Unless you guys are adding crafting items why would you mess with the order of datapad items. All that does is cause more frustrating hours for the paying SWG customer. I know there is a lot of things that you guys spend time fixing and you probably get more than your share of complaint, but be sure next patch to test for this sort of issue. Its really, really annoying me to have to spend @ss loads of time testing schematic numbers because of your brilliant idea to change the datapad sorting process. Now there's no rythme or reason to this mess.

Thank you once again for your addition to what was already working fine.

UI



  • If you sort datapad items and the inventory in the detail view, the sort state will now be remembered the next time you log in.




I got acouple ofquestions:


How do I unsort things? I never sorted my inventory, now after patch everything is sorted by alphabetical order. I am a crafter and last night i went to make a factory run of droid parts and split my resourses when making the scematic. I never closed the screen i just alted out of it and when i walked the 10 meters to factory and alted back into inventory the were sorted back into invintory rather than being at the bottom. Please tell me how to get my inventory back to normal, equiped stuff at top and new stuff at the bottom.


When are we going to get non master level flight helmets? The imperials got a full flight suit and helmet, privateers got a bandolier that doubles as a backpack, rebels got a orange flight suit which is craftable by a tailor. I would like to either see a helm that is craftable that has various designs on the helm, Or a chest unit that we could wear as a necklace slot. The chest plate would be fairly easy just take the imperial helm and cut off the helm and hoses, and color it white or grey and your done.


Thank You

My friend you have no idea how badly. But all of my problems would vanish rather quickly if the devs would stop wiping their collective posteriors with the paying customers opinions.

On a more positive note I appologise for my loud flame of evening last...Xmas time stresses me out. Cheers mate!

If it ain't broke don't "fix" it.


I've been playing forseveral months nowthrough constant bugs, non-working systems, lag, and being ignored by customer service.


Ragardless of this, I've immensely enjoyed the game and never complained once.


But the new sorting "feature" of datapads and inventory is one I have to speak up on.


It worked perfectly fine before, and the interface made sense;


Equipped items were grouped to the top, new items were added to the bottom


Going throught the inventory was actually fun.


Now it is a visual mess which is no fun at all to go through.


I don't even really want to go on my loot runs anymore becuase I have to dig through that mess to find the mystery glop grenade or cdef pistol I just looted so I can delete it.


I don't seem to recall the community making any issue as to there needing to be a fix here... why are you messing with it?


Devs, it blows my mind that you would actually spend time and resources "tweaking" existing systems that already function just fine, when there are so many other major issues that need to be corrected.


Please revert the inventory and datapads to their previous function or at least give the option to use the old (better) system.

FYI to the devs....I too am experiencing serious client crashes. These occur when I try to exit the game. Runtime errors and client lockups have become the norm since the patch yesterday. I just had one today and the client couldn't even send a log file in on it. This has been a slow, but albeit, steady progression to client crashes for me since patch 11 came out. I don't know what you are trying to fix but it doesn't seem to be working.
