Little Peeves

[Der Helm]

This.

[Morfiend]

Motherfucking deserter debuff. This is needed so badly on my server. The second a team gets down just a bit, like 3 people leave, pretty much ensuring no hope of really competing for the rest of the match. This has been VERY frustrating over the last few days as I have been trying to get some pvp gear. I know they have made some outdated design choices, but really no deserter debuff is boggling. 

[Flinky]

There's no notification on whether you already know a given schematic. Not only that, you can consume a schematic - including the whole "You have learned how to make X!" message - even when you already know how to make the item.

People leaving are also the main reason of insane problem with wins not counting for dailies!!!!

[apocrypha]

Would it be bad form to name & shame BC people I've seen do this repeatedly? 


J/k, I'd never do that, people have their own reasons for leaving a WZ and that's fine with me. What I will say though is that very, very often we go to have an epic battle and a comfortable win after 1 or 2 people ditch right after the enemy team scores the 1st goal. I think being the underdogs (underfrogdogs?) sometimes spur people on fight back harder.

[Threash]

Why shouldn't you leave if you don't want to play with a buncha idiots? Whats the difference between leaving because your group wiped to the first trash pack in an instance several times and leaving because your group let a bomb be planted the first 20 seconds? I'm sorry but I am worried about my entertainment not yours.

[Der Helm]

I have also been kicked out of the WZ more than once because I missed the window to pass through the forcefield after respawn.

This is extra fun if I enter a WZ late, I have been disconnected on the retarded speeder ride on voidstar more than once. Or the game starts while I am still circling the wz like an idiot, I finally get of the speeder and I am to late to enter the first wave, only to get thrown out shortly thereafter.

Happens in Hutball too, WHY do I have to run 10-20 seconds (depening on if I already got sprint), I got disconnected more than once there as well.

If a game goes bad (and you really can tell after 30 seconds sometimes) I just try to farm medals.

[Khaldun]

Yes to both of these things:

1) people deserting the moment it looks like winning will be difficult--they want to keep shuffling through WZs until they get slotted into a team that has a cluster of premades in it. Drives me nuts. Deserter debuff is essential: yet another place where there's not much excuse for neglecting a working mechanic adopted by another game.

2) and yes, I cannot stand getting booted out because I drop into a WZ that's already underway and not getting to the forcefield in time. Happens quite often in Huttball--you enter into a game in progress, the forcefield is down just as you enter, you run up the ramp and it's up again and the game boots you because you're not leaving the area. This is especially  when you're on Ilum because getting bounced puts you back in the Fleet.

[Threash]

I think it's ridiculous to want to force people to stay with a bad team.

[Paelos]

I think it's ridiculous to want to force people to stay with a bad team.

Then make a team. If you are relying on the general population, you should be required to finish the battlezone in 10 minutes.

[Threash]

I still haven't heard a single reason as to why you shouldn't be allowed to leave.

[DraconianOne]

I think it's ridiculous to want to force people to stay with a bad team.

Yep, that's great team spirit right there. Well done. You're a role model and inspiration to us all.

 

[Paelos]

I still haven't heard a single reason as to why you shouldn't be allowed to leave.

Because it creates a revolving door of stupidity that ruins the entire pvp concept. If you allow people to bail the second things go wrong, it screws the queue system by rotating losers into a losing side, creating a hideous lottery of "GOD I HOPE I GET A FRESH GAME THIS TIME!"

[Pendan]

I still haven't heard a single reason as to why you shouldn't be allowed to leave.

A deserter debuff does not stop you from leaving. It just slows down your messing up the game experience of many other people.

If you want to leave then leave but that does not mean you should be able to get into another match sooner than if you had stuck it out in the current match.

[Zetor]

There's a guy on my server who follows this 'script' in WZs every time:
- if the game hasn't started yet, bail
- if the game is going on and we aren't winning, bail
- if the game is going on and we ARE winning, hide in a corner and AFK
- requeue immediately after bailing
- if he ends up in the same WZ - very likely due to low republic WZ pop - bail again immediately. This also prevents someone actually useful from joining the fight, since his spot is 'reserved'.

He's not a bot, he trashtalks the republic team occasionally. And yeah, he's been reported... countless times. No effect.

Yeah, this. I can guarantee that a game will be lost because some dick drops from a WZ, requeues immediately, gets straight back into the WZ he's just left and drops again. By all means drop - but don't expect to queue straight away because the people who stayed don't want to see you again either.

[Ingmar]

You should be allowed to leave. There should be a consequence, though, because otherwise it becomes an easy method of griefing.

[Nebu]

I'm also sick of people using Warfronts as a free pass back to the space station.  Queue for warfront, then time out in a match = free port to space station. 

[Sky]

I've bailed on a couple matches...for the same reasons I don't group much and grouping with f13 is a struggle.

I afk like a motherfucker.

[lesion]

I'm still a little drunk from last night. I got a ticket reply via e-mail and cried beery tears for their outsourced doodie party. Heyzeus.

...do I really have to create an Origin account just to order an authenticator via Paypal?

Your SWTOR account is also an origin account.

[UnSub]

SWOR will will officially launch in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Singapore on March 1st, 2012.

My payment options are:

The Standard Edition will retail for $79.99 AUD / $89.99 NZD / $389.00 HKD / $64.00 SGD and the Digital Deluxe Edition of the game, an Origin.com exclusive, will retail for $89.99 AUD / $99.99 NZD / $465.00 HKD / $76.90 SGD.

That AUD$90 for the Origin purchase means I'm paying US$96 for the game at today's exchange rates.

The other interesting thing is the sub fees have actually been tied to the $US:

    1 Month Subscription (automatically billed every 30 days): $14.99 USD per month
    3 Month Subscription (automatically billed every 90 days): $13.99 USD per month (one-time charge of $41.97 USD)
    6 Month Subscription (automatically billed every 180 days): $12.99 USD per month (one-time charge of $77.94 USD)

So we get the exchange rate advantage on the sub, but pay a lot more on the box.

[Ingmar]

For comparison I believe the digital deluxe was $80 USD.

You download an authenticator for your phone for free and never touch origin or paypal.

I use Warzones for buffs then leave :P

Male Jedi Knight romancing and ultimately getting secretly married to his ex-padawan: zero dark side points
Female Jedi Knight romancing and ultimately getting married to her dorky, but endearing, dipshit of a doctor: ALL THE DARK SIDE POINTS

Without really spoiling anything, anytime MY jedi knight gets herself some sugar and/or advances the relationship with Doc, DARK SIDE POINTS. Ingmar's JK had like one choice that would've been DS points, ALL ELSE FREE AND CLEAR.

I mean fuck, my consular slept with Tharan AND Lt. Boyfriend, NO DARK SIDE POINTS.


I would be TOTALLY COOL with it (I mean shit, it didn't STOP me) if it was HANDLED EVENLY. I am writing an angry letter to my congressman, you see if I don't.

[01101010]

Peeve #457: When you mount up on your speeder, your companion tab on the character screen disappears. Ship is there, you are there, current companion is gone. Yet, when you jump off or get knocked off, your current companion pops right up. Hate trying to mod equip at the comms vendor and have to get off my bike, fuck around with the tabs, mod whatever it is I bought, resummon my bike, zoom off. Counter that with not having to even leave my bike when I mod my own equip.

[Paelos]

Companion tabs need to be able to cycle through companions regardless of who you have out.

Waiting to equip stuff because one of your guys is running a mission is just silly.

[Lantyssa]

They're all Senators in Star Wars.

And you should know it's totally okay for men to play the field, but women should be chaste.

[Jherad]

Yes. You can do it when you're on your ship, it's a little annoying that they restrict you elsewhere.

We covered this.

You were clearly just sowing wild oats with Tharan, and Lt Boyfriend was leading you on before dumping you for holoGF. As established previously, this is ok under the code.

Loving stable relationships with the good doctor are right out. Anyway, isn't there some rule about doctors carrying on with patients, you'll get him dis-doctor-barred. Your jedi is such a bitch.

As for Ingmar, I assume he's just taking advantage of his hot student, again ok under the code so long as he secretly doesn't care about her. That 'secret' marriage is the give away, what are the odds of the marriage certificate getting 'lost' on the way to the registry?

[Sjofn]

Lt. Boyfriend didn't dump me for a hologirlfriend, that was Tharan. Lt. Boyfriend asked me to marry him and everything (but I didn't because ZOMG TEH CODE plus he is boring). If I had said yes, though, it would've been fine!

That's the thing, Lantyssa, it isn't even a man/woman difference, it's a "apparently only JK ladies fall to the dark side when they're ~IN LOVE~" which is even stupider than the other way. I kinda assume the JK lady romance was one of the first jedi ones written, and they were feeling HARDCORE, and then by the time they got around to writing the lady consular one they either forgot or just mellowed on it.

Either that or Doc leads to the dark side for some OTHER REASON.  


EDIT: The doctor/patient relationship dis-doctor-barred thing made me laugh, eldaec, my jedi totally is a bitch!

[Mattemeo]

And this, in a nutshell, is pretty much why I can't be bothered with Bioware Romance.

Also, Tharan speaks like Tobias Fünke. I couldn't even begin to think of him sexually.

[Crumbs]

Ok guys, the little bugs that remain in the game are getting less and less cute.

--GTN:  if you have both your inventory and GTM windows open and the inventory has an open slot under the "sell item" box of the GTM window, the item will drop into the inventory, even though this window is below the other.  If the inventory window is on the right and the GTM window is on the left, this happens.

--GTN #2: the number 1 that won't go away.
