Little Peeves

The companion/loots thing also affects nodes--they have a tendency to stand in the way *just* as I'm about to select the node, having not been there a second before.

Christ, tell me about it. I think Binary is right, they're chasing the cursor ON PURPOSE. Like CATS.

My cats are way more manageable than big ass Khem. They are way worse tanks, however. Cats are more like nature's DPSers.

On my consular I am starting to hate having to turn holiday off every time after I get off my speeder. Or when I zone into a place suddenly my bramble wants to mez everyone with holiday dancing.  I hate her, and not in a jealous way.

[UnSub]

Why in the hell would you admit to that in public on your own site?

Well, they announced this in the same article:

We were concerned over their making major changes to our engine, but we loved the size of the check that came with the deal.

 

It also meant that they didn't have to release Hero's Journey, which is probably in their best interest.

[Mrbloodworth]

They are also going to be getting a ton of production use feedback to roll back into the platform.

[Njal]

The game can think you are still in stealth mode occasionally (twice so far). All this does is stop you from using your recovery ability and a relog solves it. Still annoying tho.

The wardrobe preview window. I love looking at shit in the AH, and seeing what shit looks like on me. Bonus I can look at my companions in it as well. However, why is it always the lowest rez in that window? If anything, that window should show me all the little details that I see in the cutscenes. I don't mind the lower rez stuff while I play as I am not concentrating on it as much as when I get a new piece of clothing for my virtual dolly. Oh, and why the hell can't I zoom in on the headgear like in character creation? I should be able to mouse scroll wheel back and forth to zoom in and out of my character in that window. (if you can and I have been missing it for a month, then I redact my second question)

Oh and the long standing, WEAPON PREVIEW PLS!

[Mrbloodworth]

I believe they just checked off "Has preview".

It took LOTRO like 3 years to add zoom, I think it was just as long for wow too. Rift was a bit more clever.

I'd really like the option to sell back the piece of armour i mistakenly bought with commendations while trying to preview it.

This too... especially when the god damn light sabre I bought it for OFFHAND only. What the shit is that about? How is it OFFHAND ONLY?

Your avatar answers that!

It's a left-handed saber.  They have a special grip for comfort.

If they stopped using the retarded bind on pickup mechanic then that alone would be a good interim fix - at least you can sell oranges on the market for a decent wedge.

[proudft]

I did this for the first time yesterday.   Had a finger-spasm-purchase of some Medium legs for my Jedi Guardian.  Arrg.  Well, maybe some future companion can wear 'em.

We are going here again, really?

Nope! Unless they're orange, then you could rip the mods out and re-do it for Doc.

I love the modular system, and how it all works; but crap all mighty, give me a way to open the mod window on two items at once so I can compare the stats on the mods before I pay 5000cr to pull them out!

[Ingmar]

If you turn on the fancy tooltips you can see the individual mod details on an item in a tooltip, that helps a lot with that issue.

Turn on the advanced compare? It will expand the mod slots out in the hover windows.

Why all that stuff is not on by default I will never understand. As terrible as the UI is, there is actually some useful parts that are hidden from new/casual users.

From what I understand useful features ruin the storyline immersion for some casual players, so they hid them so only the hardcore players would find them if they wanted to.

[Simond]

I really do have to give BiowarEA credit for the high quality bollocks they come up with for excuses. It puts Abashi & co. to shame.

I think it's just trying to avoid information overload on new players really.

[WayAbvPar]

Even so, stuff like compare companion's equipment as well as mine should absolutely be a default. It always annoyed me that I had to do it manually until someone here mentioned there was a UI toggle last week. I just assumed it was yet another thing BW fucked up and might patch in later. Turns out they actually thought of it and coded it (good), and then left it as a hidden gem (not good).

[Rendakor]

Regarding gear comparison, what I want is it to only compare if it's mine (or my companion's) highest tier armor type. So when I mouseover light armor as a Juggernaut (heavy) with Quinn (medium) it shows nothing; if I mouseover heavy it compares to me, and medium to Quinn.

Please. Abashi was notable for the barely-disguised contempt with which he held endusers. Bioware's CMs are nothing like that.

There are roughly 423435643468 different enhancement mods for level 49. Half of them have the same fucking stats as a differently named one. For example, efficient and discipline enhancement 22 both have +22 end, +10 power and +28 surge.

[rattran]

There are 2 level 31 focus items that have the same stats, different names. One takes 210 artifice, one takes 230. I re'd both to blue, with the same name prefix and stats

Did this game have a beta test?

I said that in guild chat this past weekend. I really think in this example the surge should have been Alacrity on the efficient one.

It did! They just redid the itemization scheme every wave of Beta. I personally went through 3 different versions of it in my 1.5 months of testing. 

[Bunk]

Thanks for the tip guys, I'm glad I took the time to whine.

And I agree, its silly having the compare window pop up me and my companion on a piece of Heavy armor when she can only wear medium.

Don't get me wrong here, I'm loving the game, but the silly little glitches are annoying. Last night I changed out an armor rating 58 mod to an armor rating 70 mod on a pair of gloves - and the Armor score on the item didn't change. Until I put them on. Then it did. 

[Mrbloodworth]

Yes, the updating is annoying. Its worse if you are making something for another person. Its not like you can put on the item.

[Crumbs]

No penalty for holding the huttball the entire game.

Actually, there is a penalty for holding the huttball too long.  You randomly explode and die.  I've had this happen twice in the same huttball match.  I think we were farming commendations and I was holding the ball in the middle for a minute.

I see.  They must've been just passing the ball to each other as they stood in a cluster.

As a result I'll dial my peeve back to a more general "pugs v premade" one.  This is obviously happening.  And geared 50s vs 10s with loltenacity is enough to keep even my masochistic self from queuing for warzones.  I'll wait for the brackets to be patehed in.

[Lantyssa]

Did this game have a beta test?

Yes, but the mod system changed every beta iteration including up to pre-release launch.

And a lot of the mods being identical is likely someone going "okay, so the +willpower set needs an end/crit/surge item, and the +cunning set needs an end/crit/surge item.." and not connecting the dots that the freaking items are the same thing.
