dakajojo Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 More likely to get comments on the jet pack over in the bug report forum.. where I believe there are already one or two threads about it. Tait is pretty good about reading/responding to the bug report forum. I already posted one, which is still on the first page. I hope we get a response and that it is addressed.

OddballEasyEight Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I get what you are saying, but as there is no underwater travel in this game, the jetpack/rocketpack (whatever you wish to address it as) should work like the other Bounty Hunter armor chest pieces that have a jetpack on the back (should they work as intended and are not bugged.) Well there is no actual flight either... you're discussing semantics really. It is what it is, which is a jetpack for underwater travel. Why would you assume that it would work like a rocketpack just because there is no underwater travel in the game? That would be like assuming that a rocket pack should be able to get you to fly like a flying mount. Or to say that blaster rifles should fire farther than 35 meters... It's not a bug, it's not a rocket pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddballEasyEight Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Not only that.. BUT...firing off a jet pack under water is a bad idea. You will boil your private parts for sure. There is a reason that submarine launched missiles (both icbm and cruise varieties) are ejected to the surface on compressed gas and do not ignite their engines until they pop through the surface of the water. I think I have to correct you there Andryah. You are thinking of this when you say jet pack. But that is actually a rocket pack. A jet pack would work on this principle and that wouldn't boil anything.. Granted, the popular nonmenclature for rocket packs is "jetpack" but that doesn't mean it works on the jet engine principle.

OddballEasyEight Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I don't need to be told anything. There is no underwater travel in this game. The model includes a jetpack, and it should be used as such. There is no written rule saying a jetpack on an underwater set can't be used anywhere but underwater. In the real world, rockets can go from underwater to the air. (i.e. ) The same should apply here, especially in the Star Wars Universe. That's nice and all, but you are confusing jet propulsion with rocket propulsion. The video you show is of a rocket propelled missile. Not a jet propelled one. Using a Pump-jet propulsion (which is what the item on the back of these packs look like) would not make you do anything above water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a jet propelled one. Using a Pump-jet propulsion (which is what the item on the back of these packs look like) would not make you do anything above water. As I said before in this thread, what ever you would like to call the pack, the jetpack/rocket pack is the SAME model used for properly working gear with the desired animation. SAME model. And as I said before (again) there is no underwater travel in this game, so labeling the pack's model, which is actively being used for other gear, as a "pump jet" is reaching. I could care less if the gear has "Underwater" in it. It doesn't change the fact that it is the SAME model used for other gear, which have properly used animations. Your argument was already posted before, if you cared to read. If you don't want the gear to animate or don't care about the gear, I don't understand the need to stop in this thread and try to argue. Based on the view count of this and the threads in the Bug Reporting forum, it seems I am not alone here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafaman Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 IMO, it isn't a jet pack. It is an undewater propulsion pack. And... more importantly... indicative of where we might be going at the end of the year! And no, Jetpacks and Underwater propulsion packs are not the same thing. It is not a bug. You are complaining because your scuba gear doesn't work as a Jet Pack. Lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I am now completely recinding my previous statements and admitting that I am probably wrong in this. This should most likely be a working in-game jetpack since it has been used as one on earlier models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demotivator Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) I may be one of the only ones, but I love the way these armor sets look on my Bounty Hunter. However... what is the point of having a jet pack on the back of the chest piece if the rocket boost comes out of the feet of the character instead?! If there is a booster pack on the back, why not have the rocket boost come from there? I'm not sure if this was intentional, or yet another bug. Remember the BH set that you can now buy with Completed Bounty Contracts instead of credits? It was the same issue, I remember threads about how it was disappointing that the backpack actually didn't act as a jetpack but they never cared about it. My BH is still wearing an Arkanian chestplate with that ugly antenna on my shoulder to have a working jetpack... This is just sad when you consider that jetpacks are one of the BH's coolest features in Star Wars from the movies to... The Old Republic (remember the cinematic trailer?) yet it is a pain to have a decent chestplate with one.

This should most likely be a working in-game jetpack since it has been used as one on earlier models. I'm happy to here it. That's one of the reasons I was trying to point out from the get-go. I love the way these sets look, and being that they are from the CM and new... I'd hope the Devs address it.

Millardkillmoore Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 It's been three weeks. Has anyone who submitted a ticket heard anything yet? I'd really like for a single dev to at least comment on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millardkillmoore Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 It's been more than a month. There have been multiple threads and multiple bug reports. There has not been one single dev response. This is atrocious customer support. Answer the question Bioware. I'm bumping every one of these threads until we get an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kantaso Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I know you are been sarcastic about the underwater stuff, but is there any underwater world in this game? In one of the Star wars trilogy movie they had underwater scenes if I am not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocHoneydew Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 The jetpack works perfectly ... underwater. You're using it on land so the bootjets take over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demotivator Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) I know you are been sarcastic about the underwater stuff, but is there any underwater world in this game? I will just leave this here. If you played KOTOR you know what that means. Edited June 21, 2014 by demotivator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
