LeJarC Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) I have no idea, Reno. If it were, they would have fixed quite a couple in the past already. As you know, they haven't. Since most of the jet pack armors I've tried so far, work in high-detail mode, I suspect it is relative easy to fix (like setting a flag for the low detail mode same as in high detail) but my guess is that it is simply a matter of priority. Seeing as there's a semi-workaround and despite some nasty mis-alignments, this one is likely pretty low on the list.

Darth_Wicked Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Probably not as easy as making females wearing the Regal Appearance Miniskirt use the female model in previews and cut scenes, and that's been broken for like seven months now. [Not trying to derail your thread, my BH is my primary alt, and I had spent a lot of time tcollecting chest pieces with jet packs, so I want this fixed asap as well] A body chest with a working jet pack on the back is something integral to EVERY Bounty Hunter, NOT to mention heavily featured in a plethora of trailers, screenshots and other promo materials, leading up to the release of the game. In other words, I am sure you can tell the difference between both plights. Edited January 13, 2015 by Darth_Wicked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, I am sure you can tell the difference between both plights. I wasn't talking about the significance, I was talking about the ease of the fix. And while I agree that BH's with jetpacks are iconic, there is nothing that promised us that functionality. Both the BH jetpacks and the miniskirt issues are ones where everything *was* working and then the devs did something that broke it. Given that many of these jetpacks and the miniskirt are CM pack items which we had previously purchased, I see no reason to elevate one bug over another, especially when the miniskirt one *should* have been fixed (changes backed out) months before the other bug surfaced.

And while I agree that BH's with jetpacks are iconic, there is nothing that promised us that functionality. A jet pack on the back infers a functional jet pack... on the back. NOT feet. Both the BH jetpacks and the miniskirt issues are ones where everything *was* working and then the devs did something that broke it. There are several chest pieces with non-functional jet packs since day one really. Not sure they broke anything, but rather coded something wrong.

Seeing this thread is about working jet packs, I believe it is reasonable to elevate said bug to your mini-skirt. Back on topic I guess.

But then they should work for all characters, not just BHs...and the name of the Legacy Perk we're discussing is Rocket BOOTS, so yeah, feet is all we're being promised There are several chest pieces with non-functional jet packs since day one really. Not sure they broke anything, but rather coded something wrong. Not sure about those, but some that worked a couple of months ago broke recently, and that's what I though this thread was about. Also, by definition, jet packs from day one aren't CM, and therefore are automatically lower priority (kidding). Seeing this thread is about working jet packs, I believe it is reasonable to elevate said bug to your mini-skirt. Back on topic I guess. 1) Reno was talking about "ease of fix", so it wasn't inappropriate to compare the ease of this fix to the ease of other things that need to be fixed. 2) I thought I was clear that I wasn't trying to derail this thread, and that I am genuinely interested in this issue being fixed. I'm not saying fix the miniskirt issue *first*, or trying to downplay this issue, I'd like to see a patch address *both* of them (and lots of others) at the same time. 3) It gets boring bumping unacknowledged threads, so I figured I'd rotate the issues through several threads so that if the devs actually read one they might notice the other issues. Feel free to bring up the jetpack issue in one of the miniskirt issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about those, but some that worked a couple of months ago broke recently, and that's what I though this thread was about.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt however. 1) Reno was talking about "ease of fix", so it wasn't inappropriate to compare the ease of this fix to the ease of other things that need to be fixed.

Feel free to bring up the jetpack issue in one of the miniskirt issues. It helps when you know Tait is around. I bumped a thread once or twice, hoping he would notice them; sometimes he does, others he does not. I guess it depends on the severity of the bug, plus the possibility he's mildly aware of it.

I guess it depends on the severity of the bug, plus the possibility he's mildly aware of it. Look at it this way: I have around 12 active characters, and I've spent a lot of time and credits on each of them and their primary companions, mainly on CM items. I'm affected by more than one bug. I want them all fixed, so if I occasionally side-bump another active issue while discussing a different active issue, I'm not trying to hijack the the thread. And as for your confusion about whether or not I was serious about the CM issue-- I actually said (kidding) right afterwards. You usually seem like a fun guy, so everything I've said (from my perspective) has been as light-hearted banter. I've been in too many seriously annoying (/ annoyingly serious) threads lately, I was just trying to take a break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the icon of the first unlock does give the impression the exhausts are placed behind the character, and not below. http://i.imgur.com/nbZcXh4.png And if you'd have bothered to try, you'd have found out it DOES work for all classes if the character is wearing a chest armor with functioning jet pack. I can suggest the Rohlan Dyre chestpiece for this as it works with both Character Detail settings.

I can suggest the Rohlan Dyre chestpiece for this as it works with both Character Detail settings. (the only one that actually does as far as I am aware of) Actually, Boost and Boots are pretty close, since it involves switching just one letter, and the way most people pronounce it is pretty indistinguishable. I hardly ever see it written, and I always hear it as "Boots", and odds are I'll forget that it's Boost next time I go to write it down anyway . And I haven't been interested in having the jet packs work on other classes, I just know that when people talk about it, they always specify Bounty Hunters, so I assumed it was a thing. That said, if you check out the rest of the thread, D. Wicked and I were basically teasing each other a bit -- at least on my part I wasn't really trying to downplay the bug.

We know that those have not been working as expected, and I spoke with the team that handles that, and we are going to prioritize Shae's and Headhunter's jetpacks. After that we'll kind of "go down the list" as we have a chance. For now, though, I have let them know that you folks really want to see them fixed, so we'll see what we can do, starting with the aforementioned two. Right now, we're seeing if we can get it into 3.1 - no promises. -Tait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
