Agreed. The bright blue boxes around the empty squares are bright and jarring. They draw the eye to the empty boxes, making it hard to find actual items at a glance. Worse of all, you haven't fixed my biggest issue with the previous UI - the inability to control the stupid Galactic Seasons toolbar using the interface editor. In particular, I hate that I can't edit its brightness. It's brighter than everything else on screen. Except for the new inventory, I guess. :-(

So, a year later. Any fix yet? Any time estimate on a fix? Or do I just suck it up and pay 500-1,500k per toon to go back to where I was 18 months ago?

Agreed. I particularly hate the transparency option. With everything on my UI somewhat transparent, the bar sticks out like a womp rat on a dewback.

That is from an age when you could deal with antisocial behaviour by shunning the naughty person in the playground. When they ran out of people who would play with them, they learned to be nice to others. This works when there are only a hundred people in the school. In an electronic world, with millions of people, this doesn't apply. We have zero peer pressure against people posting objectionable content in a chat session. There are no consequences for offending people. As an aside, it wasn't really true then either. Bullying (in person or via social media, txting, etc) has led to depression and suicide. Words can break us. I think there are two things Bioware can do to help manage this problem. First, give us an account-ignore feature. If I ignore a character, I don't want to ignore just that character - I want to ignore that player. I don't want to see anything from any of that player's characters on any of my characters. Maybe followup with a guild ignore feature. If everyone in a large guild is ignoring the offensive person then that is a real consequence. This works even better if the ignore feature is extended to other game features, like the GTN and battlegrounds, and so on. If the ignored person finds no-one is buying their goods and they are not getting into battlegrounds then, again, there is some real consequence. Second, have actual people monitoring key chat channels (fleet, for example), handing out timely suspensions for offensive behaviour. For example, you are booted and your account gets a 5 minute ban. None of this "report it and someone will look at it in 10 days" nonsense.

True, but it is dispiriting when you arrive on a planet for the first time and are already overlevelled.

Thank you muchly. The next scene I did actually had a trainer there. I originally thought ,"Looks like I need to keep a better eye on the minimap." but the holonet training droid doesn't appear on the minimap! Or on the big map! Thanks, BW, I appreciate that.

My Outlander Token Jedi is level 66 and still can't ride a speeder . :-(

I guess EA and Bioware don't care about this, based on all the Lùkè Skÿwallker and Òbí-wän Kënòßî characters I see running around the Fleet.

• Removal of cool-looking stuff from the game. Where are the amazing-looking orange items that I used to do heroics for? Where are the nice things that dropped from Elites and Champions? Sheesh, where are the world-dropped orange items at all? Now, I just go around elites and champions because there is no payoff for the time it takes to defeat them. • Making the cool-looking stuff only available from the Cartel Market. and then only from -ing random boxes. Seriously, if I wanted that crap I'd go to a pub and play pokies. • Clipping. Clipping. Clipping. Playing a Togruta or Twilek is painful. • Buggy preview window.

Do they sell? I looked at the GTN last night, there were over 150 pages of cartel packs. Are people buying these at a rate that makes it worthwhile for me to try to sell?

My vote goes for: Twi'lek whose lekku doesn't clip horribly. Twi'lek who can wear hoods. Pureblood Sith whose spikes don't clip horribly. Cyborgs who have cybernetics that are more than just bits of costume jewellery pasted to their faces.

If the developers did that then there would still be the same forum threads, except instead of people complaining "Someone has taken my name 'Luke'" they would be saying 'Someone has taken my name 'Luke Skywalker"'. In other words, nothing would change. In a computer system, there has to be something that uniquely identifies every character. The technical term for it is a primary key. In this game the primary key is the character's name, chosen when the character is created, and the scope is the server (that's is, Luke on Dalborra is different to Luke on The Harbinger).

If you target another character then right-click on their portrait, one of the menu items is Inspect Player. That lets you see what gear they are wearing.

I think it should either be always-on or on a 60 minute duration with a 3 minute cooldown.

Perhaps check the stickied thread above?
