What annoys you?

So after playing this game for a while now, was sub'd at launch, but didn't actually start playing until about six months after, there have been a lot of changes.

I thought, lets make a collaborative list of things that you don't enjoy in the game, are annoyed by, or anything else. Can be community based, game based, or whatever it is that gets to you.

Get a bit of heated debate going, but try to keep it somewhat respectful.

I'll start it off then:

Flashpoints/Operations
- Tanks who think they are dps
- Tanks who can't hold aggro
- Anyone who breaks cc
- Dps who jump into fights before the tank
- Healers who think they are dps
- Healers who don't heal the tank

PVP
- People who can't defend a node/wall, ie they are right there and have it stealthed from them
- People who don't call attacks
- People who don't react to calls
- Tanks that don't use guard, or don't use it on the right players
- People that have no concept of following the most basic strategies
- Or people that break those strategies on purpose

As you can see, mine are players based, because it seems as though a lot of players go out of their way to do stupid crap.

Complaing posts like this

Well being serious now. What annoys memost is ppl having a fight in general chat late at night. Those ppl should just log off and go to bed...

I was waiting for a mention of "threads like this" lol.

I figured, this can be a place to vent your frustrations.

I just had to post "threads like this" sorry

But I agree with you it's good to get out frustration sometimes.
It's always frustrating if for example a healer starts to ddps or a dps just runs from the group and starts to attack everything.
But generally it seems to me that ppl's playing skill is getting better and better. Now you can do EC/TFB SM without a single wipe. i still remember with horror the firsts times I entered EV/KP and wee where slasughtered so many times before we could finish it or ppl gave up...

I Agree with all the Op said and will second it.

It annoys me when the group finder is so long if you want to play a DPS, I rolled a sniper as my first only dps class as my other chars have been 2 tanks and 1 healer and I can barely find a group. Then when I go on my level 40 Tank Assassin and find that 2 of the dps spots are a juggernaught and a powertech.. it really annoys me how much people who Roll the Tank side of a Tank adv class or a DPS adv class, then choose to spend 3 hours in a GF queue, instead of queuing as a Tank... so many Sorcerer dps and Juggernaught dps, it really does annoy me. Oh well thats my annoyance anyway, lets see who picks me to pieces about it.

I have very few true "annoyances" IMO, but I will list them.

1) Companion lightsaber bug/run with lightsabers bug

2) Some of the pathing on the planets is far too restricted/bad map design

Taris is a good example. Plenty of tunnels and blocked paths, small entryways, entries not listed well on the map, recipe for frustration. Planets should be more open, should have far more paths to make it where you need to go.

3) GTN

The way it works is just counter intuitive. The first few search criteria in the master drop down quality list do not work, you cant simply do a general search and then whittle it down as you choose more restrictive criteria, etc. Some of the armor searches require specific criteria from the drop downs, etc.

4) The amount of loading screens/transitions when traveling long distances

This has been a real annoyance for a LONG time. I'm not going to list all of the steps...some are loading screens, others are animations, but overall it just seems to be tedious. Too many starts and stops.

5) In order to land my ship I have to use my exit door...in space

6) No chat bubbles

This is really obnoxious to me. Especially when in group. It's difficult for me to see who is saying what and where they are in front of me, especially when the map is full of mobs. It should at least be an option for groups, only for group member eyes.

7) Lack of sandboxy content...no personal crafting, cards, racing, little to no minigames, codex system is weak (not really comparable to achievement system), little to no guild perks, etc.

8) Space combat is just plain awful. Nice to look at. Horrible to play. No clear progression path, XP connected to ground XP, no multiplayer. I avoid it at all costs.
9) Group finder is counter intuitive...no list of players qued, what they have chosen as role and what they are looking for. No way to know what people want and whether or not there are lots of people waiting or if it's empty. You just que and wait and hope.

10) Lack of appearance customization

This is really quite a few things that compile into one irritation. Lack of personal customization in appearance options (both toon appearance and armor), only color match, no way to change appearance after creation, lack of races to choose from, lack of variety and uniqueness/flexibility in spec builds, no spec swap or dual spec option.

11) Lots and LOTS of armor in the game that is not available to players.

Thats all I can think of at the moment.

• People who post politcal, religious, etc arguements in Gen. Chat
• Morons on the forums
• Morons in the game who don't bother to learn anything and just jump into action then rage about *** just happened and blames everyone
• Beggers who want some creds - work for it you bums
• Current version of Star Fox Space Combat
• Lack of CE vendor love after being promised a year ago that it would be updated "regularly"
• Mod cost (happy that it's lower, but still stupid to pay that much to move mods from one set to another...it should be a super low rate to actually allow people to customize their look).

The bug on esseles when you fight the big droid on the platform. sometimes if you fall off the platform you don't die you just get stuck and the only things I have found to fix it are a relog + run back to your group or travel to fleet then travel back to your group.

Its happened twice (Via Force Leap) to me and I REALLY HATE holding up a group while I get back.

I've got another one to do with FPs.

Why don't (most) dps have any common sense? Let's say we are looking at a big mob, say four weak, one or two strong, and an elite, sometimes a second elite.

Why do the feel the need to tank the second elite while the tank holds focus on the first elite, whilst taking fire from the rest of the mob, and usually turning them on me. Dps should attack the weakest target first, usually starting with a medic, if possible, and then work their way up the ladder, whilst the tank holds the aggro of the main focus, and as much of the rest as he/she can.

As a healer, though we will survive the fight, it is just not efficient, and not smart game play/strategy for later when you need to know these things against tough boss's. Develop good habits early, and the game becomes so much easier.

I do not believe a lack of places to vent one's frustrations in the forum is a real issue. Folks seem to be coping with how to do that pretty well here in the forum.

I read your OP, and it seems your dominant annoyances are peoples behaviors. Though, they are pretty typical for MMO communities these days, so I'm not sure this promotes any constructive discussion. Then again, I'm not sure a "what annoys you" thread has any constructive potential other then to attract people who do not like the game but continue to play anyway and to play the forum as well.
