Vakyoom Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 why would i want to click on the combat window when i'm in the middle of fighting?? It's annoying, obstructive and gets me killed sometimes. I go to click on an enemy, he goes over to my left hand corner and since targetting with the mouse is damn near impossible if your target is moving i have to try a bunch of times. Well, i've successfully clicked on my chat window while trying to click on him, BUT i lock my target on him and i'm spamming f-f-f-f-f-f-f-ff-f-f-ff--f-f-ff-f trying to charge to this guy but nothing's happening... i can't move either... is my keyboard broken? no... Am i rooted? nope, no debuffs... OH YEA my chat window is now open and is filled with F's, W's, D's and A's... meanwhile they score/kill me/get away/giggle. Annoying! You could probably say "oh just click the chat window closed, problem solved!". Right, but there goes the teamwork... as you can't read whether your team wants to pass or where to meet up or what.... Even if i notice early and click esc it almost always drops my target or opens the "ESC menu" to further obstruct the center of my screen... bravo. So, what i'm asking for is A) to either make it so you can't click on your chat window at all and open the text box, B) to make it so your chat window fades upon mouse over while in PvP heavy zones like wz's and ilum or C) make an option so i can do any of the aforementioned things to my chat window to not screw myself.

Frigidman Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) Actually because the chat window was default upper left, in the most asinine location ever, I moved it down to lower left. Upper left, the chat window was always covering cinematic conversation characters. Upper left it was more in the way of combat than anything else in the flipping world. Upper left it was distracting to see it fading in and out as people typed something. Upper left obscured more of my frontal viewing then a bantha on a rampage. Lower left, the only drawback is my companion portrait is covered up... but since I never interact with that useless element, I find it not a very bad tradeoff when lower left chat window gets that thing out of the way, but still clearly readable for team chatter and other event text. Not saying thats what YOU SHOULD DO. Just saying thats what I did because of the amateur-style-ui default location. Be nice if there was an option toggle somewhere to turn off chat-window-click-to-start-typing. Edited February 26, 2012 by Frigidman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowanThursday Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I'd actually forgotten the UI's moddable now until I read that Personally, I tend to have the chat window minimised and closed unless I've got a companion out who doesn't speak Basic- then, I admit, it's irritating to have to a) look up there, and b) be careful what you click, every time you want to make sure T-7's not getting pervy on you again.

Frigidman Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I'd actually forgotten the UI's moddable now until I read that First time they introduced movable chat window ... DOWN IT WENT! So, you can probably glean how excited I am to see what Update 1.2 grants us in movabilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonemperor Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I used to have this problem but then I realised you can press tab to shift between targets and now it hardly ever happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaitanic Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I used to have this problem but then I realised you can press tab to shift between targets and now it hardly ever happens Too bad Tab targeting is also broken and selects people behind you, above you, but never the guy right in *********** front of you when you need it to...
