DjCritz Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) Im a new player, been playing for 2 weeks, decided to subscribe.... But after Looking at RED TEXT SPAM RED TEXT SPAM RED TEXT SPAM RED TEXT SPAM RED TEXT SPAM for a good portion of my fights I decided to look around for a fix, a possible disable, over even a way to make it not so big. I found 2 years worth of posts of people asking, then telling, then RAGING on developers to help fix this SPAM problem. The last dev post was in 2012 summer time.. haha seriously? Does that make anyone else rage as much as me to see developers of a game not giv3e a crap about them SPAMING their own players with garbage text in the middle of the screen. Sometimes i can just block it out, but man when i cant it annoys me sooo much i just un subscribed.... After 2 weeks of playing i can see some major issues with the developers of this game not able to complete simple tasks for the community. I can see why its free to play now. /Facepalm:mad: Enjoying the SPAM RED TEXT SPAM RED TEXT SPAM RED TEXT SPAM RED TEXT SPAM RED TEXT SPAM Since 2011!!!!

branmakmuffin Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I better take my newb *** to a game that can make a decent UI then hey? Maybe you should, if TOR ain't your cup of caffeine-free herb tea with a wedge of lemon and a dollop of honey. Gotta love the posts which imply (or outright state) "This game sucks (but I pay for it anyway)." That's some high ranking on the credibility scale, there.

Fractal_Eye Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 macros. *best Adam Savage voice* "Well, there's your problem!" *end Mythbusters skit* Seriously, TOR doesn't require macros of any kind. I use keybinds, sure, and I get the occassional 'not ready' red text, but that's it. If people are getting spammed with red error messages... well, sounds like a PEBKAC problem to me.

swtonewbie Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Yah this bugs me too, but it's not just error text for me it's mostly quest objectives updating. In WoW there was a way to do a script macro to where if you hit the macro when you first log onto a character it would disable the error text and quest updates that shows up in the middle of your screen. I think there was a way to do it permanently too, but i never looked into that. I think last i heard though SWTOR had no support for macros? so i'm guessing no support for scripts either.

Aries_cz Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Yeah, red text only happens if you facesmash the keyboard... set your ability delay to max (2 seconds i think), that might help you a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These forums are for the free use of everyone who subscribes to the TOR, and that includes posting in topics you created. And if you say something's a problem, and other people respond to tell you they don't think it's a problem, that's not trolling. It's not off-topic, either.

Fractal_Eye Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Okay, let me see if I can catch up to speed here... OP makes a thread about how much he hates the annoying 'Spamming Red Text' and asks if anyone else finds it as annoying as he/she does.. People respond contrary to the OP's opinion, and explain to him/her that it doesn't occur that often unless you are smashing keys too much, running macros, or simply needs to pay more attention to the cooldowns... (true, some did the last part in a very... snarky manner, but hey, it's the interwebz..) Then, the OP proceeds to call everyone and anyone who disagrees with him/her a troll, among other various overused (and misused, I might add) internet memes... That about it? Kay, good. I'm off to go play TOR, and look for all this infamous RED SPAM ERROR TEXT that supposedly affects sooo many people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
