Annoying small things everyone knows about yet have not been fixed

[Thermonuked]

not so much a bug, but very annoying to me atleast, is crat and engi pet heals, great at tl4, but pretty much useless @ tl7, we need some SL level ones, especially to help keep the squishy pets alive!

pvp ranges are also not really a bug, but hugely outdated, pre SL, a lvl 200 fighting a 170 was ok, but a 220 fighting a 175, thats essentially a gap of 125 levels + 22 perks, incredibly unfair, 220's fighting 210's isnt completely fair, but it should be about the limit of pvp range, and also makes for some fun fights, but tl7's fighting tl5's, is just wrong, the 200-210 range again is about right, but imo, the lowest any 205 character should be able to fight would be 190, 1 title level difference!

Saetos - Last August you made a post referring to odd chat text outside of BS's. QL 75, 150 and 225 service tower text when the command /tower heal is used:

Android Service Tower: DEBUG: Heal1 -2147483648
Android Service Tower: DEBUG: Heal2 5


Semi-Sentient Service Tower: DEBUG: Heal1 -2147483648
Semi-Sentient Service Tower: DEBUG: Heal2 1
Semi-Sentient Service Tower: DEBUG: Heal1 0
Semi-Sentient Service Tower: DEBUG: Heal2 1

In inf by Xarks Lair u need to Jump to get onto the ramp... very annoying.

Make some work around, very dangerous considering all the Chaotic Hecklers around.

Oh hey, I forgot about that one. Thanks for proving replication, very cool.

By the way, a bug that actually fits the title: Bellum Badonis helmet. Mesh is tilted and sits way too far up the body (a big gap between the top of the neck and the bottom of the helmet). With this bugged, people wearing this helmet look maniacally stupid.

Found another - the old "Area change not initiated on server. You may retreat or try crossing again." bug when trying to zone out of the temple in Home after killing Beast. That's an irritating one.

This is a VERY common problem when trying to enter doors throughout Broken Shores. I tried mapping RP Room Locations on RK a few years ago, but never finished. While I was flying around, I didn't find a single RP Room in BS because almost every door in the zone gave me the error you mentioned.

When glasses style items are equipped in both social and wear tabs, then 'enable social tab' is ticked, but 'show social only' is unticked, the social specs do not overwrite the equipped specs, and both are displayed.

The 'Helmet Visable' option is also inconsistant, and it's not a bug, but it would also be really nice to have a 'do not show backpiece' option, or for the photon embedded cloak to overwrite items such as the Reanimator/Nelabs cloaks from the social tab.

Actually can we not get all backpieces to overwrite each other, rather than having seperate catagories for BPs, Tanks, Cloaks, Robes etc as we do now.

Camera view bug:
Set your camera view to locked mode. Temporarily change your camera view manually (numberpad or mouse) due to environment (or whatever reason) & then move it back to the original locked position (5 on numberpad or mouse). Zone. Your camera changes to the temporary position last used, instead of the locked position. This issue continues every time you zone until you relog.

"/stuck is often useless" bug:
Any time you are stuck & unable to sit down, you can not properly use the /stuck command because the process requires you to sit before you can continue on to the next step in the /stuck process. If it is a "meep exploit" concern that requires the toon to sit, then just make it a longer wait time if the toon is not in a sitting position. Also, if the toon has to do a second /stuck, move the toon to a different location than where the system placed it for the last /stuck resolution attempt. There is absolutely no reason we should have to /terminate or wait around for hours in a petition queue because we fell into the geometry.

Give us some means to re-open the "Overflow" window easily, like a button in the main inventory. Or, even better, don't let it be closed at all!

It is very annoying when you tradeskill something, get overflow, and accidentally close the Overflow window.

-Chests in CoH won't open.

- S13 fence kill pets.
- S28 rookie and S35 towers tabbable.
- Sean Power takes agro from AoE attacks (eg. mongo).
- In RK missions all human mobs not tabbable.

[crude4gone]

- S13 fence kill pets.
- S28 rookie and S35 towers tabbable.

Features.

Use Pet Warp in 13 and make sure Rookie is same faction as the caller in 28. And make sure to use assist and a good caller in 35. Not that hard.

[Omutb]

- In RK missions all human mobs not tabbable.

Depends on your faction and the NPCs faction.

Basically, if youre neut and the mission is full of neut NPCs, youre stuffed.

Should Be Non-Uniuqe: Empty Data Recepticle Container.

I understand fully why the 'full' item should be unique. But If you have a full one AND and empty one in your inventory and use the full one. Well you just lost the empty forever. "You already have this unique item"

Not sure if anyone else has this problem, but I've experienced it for the entire 1.5 years I've been playing AO:

The zone boundary between Omni Trade and Lush Fields appears to be "offset". When zoning from Omni Trade to Lush Fields (going to Harry's) I have have to run along the left side of the tunnel in order to meet the zone boundary and after I zone, I end up "below" the slope of the exit tunnel. I either have to jump up to land on top of the slope or strafe left and pop out the side of the tunnel. When zoning from Lush Fields to Omni Trade (returning from Harry's) I have to run along the right side of the tunnel in order to zone into Omni Trade. I don't think there are any problems with being "in the floor" on the Omni Trade side.

Zoning from newland city to newland from the gate will usually bug and then toss you into the lake. Then you swim to shore and it then rezones you normally. Sometimes its really annoying.

[Aiken]

Add to the list while i think

The jump off / walk off into XARK & RAZORS' Lair bugs soooo often it's just not funny.

[mansh0]

Three Smug kills, 0 little brown book drops. Please increase this droprate (and/or check to make sure it does in fact still drop).


Edit: It drops. Still, annoyingly bad droprate.

[Towerblock]

I really dislike the zoning bug in the classic backyards. Sometime instead of zoning, it warps you to one of the corners of the PF.

Really crappy when im trying to drain a BY leet before the timer runs out.

NPC dialogue seems to be parsed very oddly. A lot of the time it's missing periods and spaces at the end of a sentence, where the script waits for the next line. Here's an example from Pulcinella in Reet Retreat:

The atrox pulls out a long nosed mask and starts "performing"And it has to be said as it is...This is patheticUtterly patheticYou motion for "Pulcinella" to stop making fool of himself and then you say in a low voice...

Not sure what's causing that, maybe it's an easy global fix. Hopefully it doesn't require rewriting all the broken NPC's dialogue scripts.
