Bansheedragon Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) I dont have the words to express just how annoying this has been to me. Sometimes I almost feel like I want to throw my computer out the window just over this. I honestly dont understand how anyone can create anything so beyond belief stupid. The design in and of itself is broken, hell even the idea itself should never have existed as anything other than something that should be avoided at any and all costs. The way it should work is simple. Items should just appear in your inventory with a notification in the chat, perhaps the companion saying they completed their task, and nothing else. I dont see the need for a whole damn quest completion window that overrides everything to the exclusion of all else, its unnecessary and broken by design. If the devs had spent as much time and effort on everything in the game as they have on the movies and voice overs, I would not have been surprised to see this game still breaking sales records. Instead you got a massive bug-fest as if the game was still in beta testing, and players leaving in frustration because they cant play and dont get the help they expect.

Glowrod Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) I equate this to someone walking into my office, sweeping everything off my desk onto the floor and saying "Now that I have your complete attention, here's that document you requested." I'd punch them in the head and then fire them! Automatically closing windows when the mission is complete is totally unacceptable.

Draflorin Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 i dont want my extremely rude companions to interrupts me when: I'm in a warzone I'm in combat I'm shopping at a vendor I'm crafting I'm in the GTN i have 2 windows of any kind up apart from that i dont mind the mission popup i like to know what i got for my 2500 cred mission fee - but the pending mission tab is there for a reason my rude companions should use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsyloSatan Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I hate this so much... I didnt know something so small could cause so much rage! Every time it happens I have to choke my own self so I dont kill my dog... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid_Vertigo Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Signed! Save our keyboards and other equipment from breaking! Save our house pets from yelling! Stop this nonsense! Also, is there any way to permanently silence that blasted droid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aironeousb Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 agreed 100%, I threw Corso off the team for this. Also bug report window takes up the whole screen not letting you open other windows to gather information to make a proper bug report then re spawns kill you because of the extra time it takes you to memorize details then after killing them and redoing bug report crew reports in closing your reporting window.

Raigirin Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I know I already /signed and +1'ed this post, but my droid is increasingly getting on my nerves with his over-enthusiastic "back from mission messages" and corresponding pop up windows.

Jaybel Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Yeah, the "pending" notification would be enough. This is so annoying when you try to do anything in the GTM. Agreed. It also causing a glitch during space missions that makes the companion flicker on the screen (in space). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckit Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 /signed Also, can we have the ability to open more than 2 windows at a time? And to move windows around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gleneagle Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I emphatically support the request for companion discretion when returning from a crafting mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gleneagle Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 ... Instead you got a massive bug-fest as if the game was still in beta testing, and players leaving in frustration because they cant play and dont get the help they expect. I crafted in beta to test and do not recall this happening. It may have been that I generally wasn't sending out my companions on crafting missions while I was actively engaged in a firefight: bad on me if so.

Manahawkin Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 /signed. Especially frustrating when it takes 30 seconds to search for anything at all given the poorly-implemented GTN search tool.... JUST THEN my companion always seems to return. -> Pending would be great and a seemingly easy fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideshot Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Oh man, I totally 100% absolutely would love for them to put an end to companion rudeness!!! They are seriously the rudest npcs I have ever met in the entirety of my gaming experience...I'm looking at you 2V-R8. >=/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhuaglar Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 +1 Though I don't know what I'll do on vent when I can no longer count the people swearing when their companions return and cancel whatever they were doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

photometrik Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) As much as I loooooove this game to death...this is one of the few pet peeves that I cannot overlook. Why? Because it's shoved in my face all the time. Can't make a shimmersilk purse out of a Bantha's ear? But I bring you epics. Managed to improve upon my specifications? Yes. Specifications of nothing. Want to be an entrepreneur? Control the GTN and have your own trade cartel? Busy putting up auctions for those priceless purple artifacts? Stop everything! I've brought you some rocks. Fighting the good fight? For the Republic? About to land the killing blow in an epic showdown with that wicked Sith Assassin? For great justice?!? Here's your damn fungus, Master.

Bloq Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I have to agree or "sign" (LOL...) this or whatever it is that shows my support for this motion. It annoys the crap out of me as well. HOWEVER... In the interest in being objective I must take a step back and look at the issue a la "devil's advocate"... When you open up your crew tab you can see exactly what your companions are doing and how long it will take for them to complete their respective tasks. Therefore it shouldn't be a surprise when one comes back. You should at least have a general idea of when that box is going to pop up, especially at the GTN or creating a ticket or what have you. I can see being in combat making it difficult to keep track but it all boils down to poor time management. Let me reiterate that I am FOR making this change... Now I'm going to run for cover.

I do this anyways, but it's then annoying, thinking 'I've got 2 mins to look through the GTN, I'll see what I can find', only to track down what you need and then loose it! Otherwise, it's just stand around for two minutes waiting for them to come back. If their not staggered that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
