wishihadaname Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Hello all, I've been playing for a few days now and I love every second of it, well almost every second. The game is amazing but a few essential systems seem to be missing from the game. 1) Voice chat. This is severely needed for pvp where in the time it takes to type "heals please" you've already been killed. Its also very useful for pug groups and even just for chatting with friends while playing. I don't know of any other modern MMO that doesn't have this feature integrated so I hope Bioware adds it in soon. 2) Target forwarding. Again, a pvp concern mostly. I find it very difficult as an Operative to heal someone getting pounded on by a group of enemies because I have to circle targets until I get to them or attempt to click on them in the middle of that mess. It would be very nice if I could target and enemy and then heal his target or target a friendly and attack what he's attacking. 3) Warzone healthbars. The healbars on the side of the screen don't seem to be updating very often. I had a friend of mine die right next to me and his healthbar still read full, I would have healed him if I had seen it dropping. Would be very nice if these things got adressed in the first couple of updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosev Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Invite people to your vent if you want. Games have tried the in game VC and it never catches on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyretta Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Actually the one missing feature I most want to see is text bubbles for local chat with other players. For RP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icengr Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) Invite people to your vent if you want. Games have tried the in game VC and it never catches on. any game with voice build in that I have played is never used. why would they take the time to put it in. have you tried focus targeting yet?

I have not seen the number 3 issue yet, but if it is a problem, then it certainly needs fixing. Otherwise, great game so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalarie Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 i think 2 and 3 are just personal style and lag issues for you. I've been healing on my SI and I've had no problem just clicking frames of those I want to heal and using the tab key to hit an enemy. But I also have had almost no lag so I see the hp dropping in time. However, some of the dps is very bursty and squishy people can get one/two shot by a marksman. as for #1, only Counter Strike Source has had a working in game VC that I have liked. WoW's is just epic failure. You're better off running vent or teamspeak in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A vent server is like $6.00/mo it definitely will not break the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetzMango Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Not sure voice would be used much, my experience says no. Others certainly have other experiences. I do agree on target forwarding though, should be there from day one. I don't have an opinion on the third suggestion yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyScience Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 In game voice is usually always bad. Vent, TS, and a few other choices are excellent solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazim Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 4) No /roll or /random 5) No way to turn off camera auto-follow ("smart camera") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jnight Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) #1 most annoying feature for me is while you are moving the camera auto rotating to face forward if you do not keep a mouse button pressed.

lukeazure Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Only major concern for me is simply chat bubbles (lack of) and UI customisation, and I am sure both are soon to be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
