List of Random Things the Game Needs

[Atrix]

So I've been keeping a list of things I would like to see added and thought I would pop them in here to get visibility to the devs and what not.

 

UI Improvements

• Map ability to zoom out to other planets.
  
• Right click "Report Behavior" ability in chats to report trolling/harassment without the need to open a ticket.
  
• Ignore feature that blocks whole account.
  
• Ability to use macros - which is apparently coming anyway, at some point.
  
• Smart Tab targeting that ignores friendly NPCs
  
• Random Roll feature.
  
• Gear/equipment manager to switch between saved gear sets quickly.
  
• Different UI skins to change the look or color if addons won't be added in.
  
• Damage meter viewable by operations leader.
  
• Provide options to whisper or invite by right clicking on player name in guild interface.
  

 

 

World Environment

• Taxi flight points connected, not segmented so much in cities.
  
• NPC tooltip that notes if they are part of a quest.
  
• Removal of "black" screens when taking elevators since the character is immediate ported to the new location.
  
• Music that is loopable (controllable by player) in areas.
  
• Day/Night cycles on appropriate planets.
  
• Removal of orbital stations or at least an option to by pass them or faster loading times.
  
• Mounting ability on orbital stations.
  
• Ability to enter specific class story areas while max level - like Sith Inquisitor office or Dark Council chambers on Drummond Kaas.
  
• Emergency Shuttle Transport to Operation or Flashpoint (aka summoning stone) as long as requested party has already been there once.
  
• Actually be recognized in the world by NPCs based on your rank in story.
  
• Removal of chests from operations/flashpoints that restricts looting to one at a time.
  
• Autodismount of players on Fleet when they enter the immediate area of a vendor or the GTN.
  
• Different color quest icons based on (daily/weekly/operation/flashpoint/pvp/standard) quest type.
  

 

Companion System

• Removal of the companion gift cooldown or reduce to 10 seconds.
  
• Ability to talk with companions when no question is pending, similar to DAO.
  
• Ability to compare gear easier for companions when on personal ship.
  
• Companions that specialize in a skill, don't fail it and always provide a bonus.
  
• Correct the dialog when a companion completes a skill quest to actually match if it was a success or failure (they are mixed up right now half the time).
  

 

 

Miscellanous Items

1. Premade Level 50 characters on the PTR to actually verify issues for high level content.
   
2. New Ship Passes, can replace fleet passes, to take you to your ship not the Fleet.
   
3. Ability to sell back gear, that isn't used/equipped, with in 1 hour of purchase.
   
4. Ability to trade BoP gear that drops in FPs or Operations.
   
5. Guild ship to do cooperative space missions, access certain regions, and also house guild bank.
   
6. Customizable personal ship and guild ship.
   

 

Global Trade Network

• Simple search field for GTN without the need to select required sorting options first.
  
• Ability to view comparable listings for items on the GTN when selling an item.

I agree with every single one of these points and don't have anything to add. Very great list!!

 

Bioware, Please read this and incorporate some of these, especially the movement-imparing points mentioned. Most of these points do not decrease the difficulty of the game, they just make it more enjoyable and pleasurable. Instead of transportation being a pain, it becomes a pleasure.

 

Specifically:

-Elimination of orbital stations

-Creation of an Emergency Ship pass which is usable every hour or so

-reduce cooldown for emergency republic fleet pass

-allow mounting in spaceports, command bases, large bunkers, etc.

-increase mount speed. The worlds are huge, which is nice but also an inconvenience when it takes 20 mins to get to your quest...

 

Thanks Bioware. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the feedback. A lot of it is just Quality of Life stuff to make the game more enjoyable. They are so close to having an AMAZING game but they just need to make some changes to what was rolled out.

 

Thought of another one. A way to mute the droid on our ships, or at least reduce how much it talks.

May I make a suggestion as well... there should be a hood up/down option in preferences. With that, I would be able to wear a mask and a hood (just like the guys in the trailers! how nice would it be if the game content reflected what's in the trailers?!)

I would also like to add Post-Character Creation Customization, something akin to a barber shop.

 

One reason is that I think my jedi should be able to grow out a beard. It was nice while leveling as a padawan to be clean shaven, but now that I'm a master, I think a beard would do nicely.

/signed and approved! Good stuff guys!

[Chusovaya]

bump!!

 

I agree with this list. It is so annoying that you can't invite your guildies to a group by a simple right click. I mean, that's why you join a guild, to do stuff in groups with them! Having to invite using /invite is a pain...

[XzenoElement]

every point OP made is a great idea! guild ship/station would be cool! and something to make your ship look different from every other one would be nice!

I would like to add another suggestion for the GTN:

 

Ability to search for gear by slot.
