Nymaeria Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) *I know similar threads already exist but the search bar was disabled again and I feel like being lazy. If you don't want to read about this game's current issues (perceived and real), I advise you to open another thread.* I'm having a lot of fun with my time in this game. I think BioWare did a great job with the storytelling in SW:TOR but it just doesn't feel like an MMO. Here is my list of annoyances and bugs that I feel are bringing this game down: UI- No scaling- No repositioning- No opacity options- No target-of-target frame- No companion operation frames- No import UI option- No 'Restore All Defaults' button- Can't have more than two windows open at a time- Can't move windows that are open- Can't move pet abilities on their bar- Can't move the (poorly placed) scrolling combat text- Can't keybind raid marks- Can't enlarge the buff/debuffs on operation frames- No shift+click on player name in chat to see player class and level (possibly guild as well) PvP- Can't choose which WarZone you queue for- No PvP brackets (newbs shouldn't face people with top tree abilities and they certainly shouldn't face 50s with PvP gear/stats)- Can't report AFKers Companions- Bad AI (eg. standing in AE until they die)- Don't seem to scale very well as your level increases (even when constantly keeping their gear up to date)- Disappear until summoned when you mount- Disappear until summoned when you zone- Occasionally decide to stand at the top of elevators and not come down unless dismissed/re-summoned- They move at the speed of slow while in combat- If you command them to change targets they stand still for a couple seconds doing absolutely nothing- Healer companions occasionally use DPS abilities when they should be healing Camera- Can't turn off "Smart Camera"- Zooms in due to environment and terrain (constantly requiring you to zoom back out) Galactic Trade Network- Have to navigate through too many drop-down menus before you can search- The 'equip-able by <me/various companions>' drop-down menu doesn't work- No useful drop-down menus (eg. armor slots) Bugs- Follow command is broken- Some gathering nodes are still not harvest-able- Spike causing mobs say they're of LOS though they're clearly not- Randomly can't cast Guard on people - Randomly can't cast Static Barrier on people- Scrolling combat text randomly disappears sometimes- People not showing up in operation frames- Revan occasionally goes immune to damage at 4% but doesn't despawn- Alt's crafting skills in your crew skill window- Alt's gathering skill node icons clutter minimap- Codex not properly updating (I know I've found 3 datacrons on this planet, why does the codex say I've only found 1?!)- Randomly gaining Legacy levels/XP (friend of mine only has 1 character at level 24 and has been earning legacy XP this whole time and another friend just gained a Legacy level while AFK standing in the Imperial Fleet)- The radial dial for conversation choices always shows up during conversations but sometimes the synopsis of the response does not. Annoyances- No auto-stacking when putting things in your cargo hold- Crew Skill Mission Reward/Failure screen closing everything else- Can't add offline people to friends list- No way to turn off companion commentary (for the love of all that is holy, let me shut 2V-R8 the F up!)- Abilities not firing due to previous ability's animation length- 'Sharding' of the various zones makes the world feel incredibly empty- No combat log- No macros- Can't respec at my class trainer (have to hunt for certain NPC that I've only seen in 2 places - capitol city and faction fleet)- No dual spec leads to spending STUPID amounts of credits on respecs to help facilitate grouping- Tiny, closed-in, linear planets - The world/zones are basically just a bunch of corridors or large open warehouses or jungles or wastelands, where are all the towns/villages, where are all the homes, where are all the normal people, where are the children?!- WAY TOO MUCH TRAVELING- Too many loading screens- Can't abandon some quests - Too many abilities - Flight paths not connecting for no apparent reason other than to irritate me- Separating item stacks links items in chat- I cannot do any crafting if I want- No combat dummies- Every time I load into a new zone my chat is spammed with all my friends who are online- Because of gear that requires light/dark side levels, I feel like I HAVE to stick to all of one type of decision rather than going with my gut and playing my character the way I want- Companions saying the wrong line upon crew mission completion (eg. 'Please don't deactivate me, Master.' upon success...?)- Ugly, super pixelated shadows- Low rez textures- No AA- No chat bubbles (or options to turn them on/off for various channels)- If I finish a conversation before the rest of my party (yes, I spacebar through ones I've already done) I have to stare at an NPC's head awkwardly until everyone finishes- Minimal company interaction with the community- Computer generated responses to tickets/bug reports and just generally lacking customer service Suggestions- Make flashpoint/operation item drops trade-able to other eligible players for a short period- Make it impossible to roll Need on gear you can't equip (Greed/communication/the above suggestion/crafting should be how you gear companions)- A way to look at the gear companions have equipped without having to summon/dismiss each one would be nice (even if they're on a crafting mission)- Way to tell if we have something (eg. Crafting Mission) so you don't accidentally buy multiples- A buy-back for full refund option on gear purchased with commendations- Right clicking on items in your inventory with GTN open automatically searches the GTN for that item- When mousing over the gathering node icons in the minimap, it would be nice if the tooltip told you via color if you can gather the node but wont gain a skill point (grey), can gain a skill point (green), or don't have the sufficient skill to gather (red). TL;DRPretty good single player RPG. Not so great massively multiplayer online RPG. Unless a lot of these things are fixed/implemented in a timely fashion, I doubt I'll be here for the long haul (not that any of you care). I might (hopefully) be able to enjoy myself at least until Diablo 3 or Guild Wars 2 come out. Edited January 6, 2012 by Nymaeria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorukai Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 That pretty much sums it up right there. The story elements are very cool! The rest of the game feels very unpolished to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nymaeria Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 On the positive side, at least show sith corruption finally stays off and I can emote while mounted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELEE Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) - Crew Skill Mission Reward/Failure screen closing everything else This is the one that I came here to post on. VERY annoying this closes what ever you are working when companion comes back from a mission, or better yet in combat, this window opens, covering about half the viewing area of the screen.
