Thread: Annoying small things everyone knows about yet have not been fixed

  1. #101
    Lots of new stuff, I'll need to see if I can fit all in the top 2 posts. I thought of this post again today, I encountered a Rhinoman Guru that made solitus female sounds when it was taking damage. Maybe it had just eaten one?

    This is the sort of thing that's debatable whether it's due to the grafted nanobots being so uber nobody can't do anything to avoid them or whether it's just broken - either way that noob will cast that powerful nano only every 12+ minutes while the guru can spam it 'til the cows come home.

    It's no the latest patch I know that, I've had similar disconnects in the past. It doesn't happen very often but there will be times when, after an afk, I can talk etc it all appears to work but if I move it crashes. I can tell I'm in this state of "chat only limbo" by my buffs in my NCU never expiring/removing themselves even through they say 0.

    After crashing I'll even still have some of my buffs back, which means the "crash" occurred earlier before they expired and they just kept running local timer or something.

    When playing in window mode, when window takes the whole screen (ao@ desktop resolution) and you accidentally de-center it, taskbar shows up covering part of ao screen. The only way to make it go away is to center it manually (or using 3rd party prog). Make a button to center ao window on screen pls.

    Here's a trick that has worked on XP and Vista for me:

    1. Minimize AO
    2. Right click taskbar - unlock taskbar
    3. Resize the taskbar a bit
    4. Open AO - it should be centered and "in front" of the taskbar now
    5. Set the taskbar back to original size - relock
    6. Profit!

    Oh I've got another one...

    False Profession + SL Playfield Access nanos = Annoying
    False Profession + Soldier in team + Suppressive Horde = EXCRUCIATING


    Seriously, why does NanoInit affect these things? I can leave the SL PF access nanos, but why do I have to wait 6-7 seconds just to fire a shot if I want the SH damage bonus? WHY!?

    Currently on test server it seems to be fixed so unless they break it again you can expect it to be fixed on live soon(tm)

    Agents carry a -2000 Init Debuff with their FP line of nanos.
    The problem with Suppressive Horde is that it makes the player execute a nanoprogram that buffs their damage relative to the soldier's level.

    Since Suppressive Horde is a "nano" that each player himself casts (and isn't necessarily a buff the soldier casts on his team), a sufficient amount of negative NanoInit - IE under False Profession - will put a 6-7 second nano-execution bar, which prevents the Agent from firing a shot. Moving a short distance or strafing will cancel this execution, but it also means that you do not receive the damage bonus unless you stay perfectly still.

    Same thing with the SL Playfield access nanos given to you by those Technician dudes. They dont' cast the nano, your character does, and again, any sufficient negative Init will affect this majorly. If you move before the "nano" completes, you do not get access to the portal and your credits do not get refunded.

    This also goes for any nano that is supposed to break on hit. Can be good (engi blinds) and bad (calms), happens when the mob is taking too many hits during a short period. Reducing the amount of hits (tell dual wielding profs to stop attacking and call back pets) fixes it.

    Here's another important one... having the main website updated at least monthly... preferrably every time Means posts a FWM &/or a patch is released, PLUS at least a month before any big events.

    The first place a potential player is going to go is the main website. If the newest "news" is from 17 December 2009 & it is now February 2010, they're going to move on to a game that is "regularly updated".



    Since I mentioned the website, testlive information that is updated & accurate would be a good idea too. The link to bugsy that is posted in the testlive client was replaced months ago... something about a server crash & instead of fixing it, they just created a new one here? Even the old Testserver FAQ thread is dead. After a lot of asking & hunting, I found testlive (dot) info (direct link not provided intentionally), but am unsure it is legit because a whois search states that the domain has an individual as its owner, so Funcom does not seem to have anything to do with it.

    It feels wrong when Means keeps talking about needing our help with testing, yet the proper methods to notify the Devs about testlive problems (bugsy & the testlive forums) are not easily accessible or down.

    Agents which are are very small (female small opi with medium bottom under Ruse 4) cant go a straight line when sneaking and using mouse to steer. The char does small right/left movements all the time. Especially annoying in first person.

    Not sure what you mean by "legit", but that's the testlive community page. Yes, it's not registered to FC, but that's probably good (seeing how excellent job they do on their page). And seems like some genius also misplaced public testlive info on AO forums (testlive FAQ you linked to is in test server sub forum that is not available for everyone I believe).

    Dont know if this has been mentioned but there are to many posts to read through.

    When performing an Org city alien raid. If a ranged character pulls the wave of aliens all the aliens will be out of sync for a while making for a fun time for all melee characters.


    When doing an inf mission, someones sneaks on next floor before you zone there. They will remain in sneak for you until next zoning up/down leaving leaving you unable to target them for single heals (read shades here) and only reaching them with team heals. Havent done any inf mishes for a while so this one might be fixed.

    That's a problem with any mission and it has nothing to do with sneaking. Sometimes people go out of sync when changing floors. It can be fixed by whoever can't see them going up and down, or the one they can't see going up and down.

    I have only seen it happen to shades and enfs who sneaked. Guess it could happen in other cases to then.
