Small thing that annoy you?

[Blini]

As a returning player after sometime I find several thing annoying in AO. These are big turnoffs. They irritate me evry single day.

1. Is nano/item targeting. Self buffing and healing little thing. A buff: if no target or hostile target, target self. If friendly target buff him/her.
2. Stims/Spindles. I must be sitting.  Hey I am clever enough to do it while standing.
3. Lockpick, fix item mission, Item usage in general. If I have item in my inventory ( not in bag ) and I have skills to use it to target, just right click should do.
4. Assisting yack. Should be: Select main tank and all your offensive action target tank\'s target, and heal buffs shield etc target tank. Think about saving a doc. U see dock getting hit. Select doc and start healing/mezzing/rooting etc.

I would like your comments of these and your opinion/additions.

I\'ll post this to devs after we have collected all little things.

PS. I havent look AO forums for similar posts, but I will.

PS 2. This is also my test to write to forum.

Hi there.

For stims you don\'t have to sit, for the treatment labs, FC tried to make them usable while running but it didn\'t work out. Generated too much kiting and it ended hurting more then help.

Lock pick is slow yea, especially with this \"hey you wanna delete it\" box. But nothing bothered me, there is occasions where you use items on items.

What is really missing however, a button for assist. Like pressing f or something. Target of target is good, but not only it only work on your fighting target, but it doesn\'t update if you have it selected. For example you are tanking and you taunt a second target, if you lose aggro it won\'t be shown.

But on that assisting, the game doesn\'t play all by itself. All auto targeting the tank will make the game look like progress quest.

But heh I remember when I had to manually delete my shield for TMS and having to keep my equip windows to drop ammo in my gun.

PS: This forum is backwards, looks like I got some more work to do.

Buffing problem for neuts in BS, my top annoying thing.
Teamed sided ppl can not buff a solo neutral toons (not totally sure if beeing teamed with other sided help, and then getting team-side), even if on same BS-side. In next patch there will be some kind of team-pvp, so problem will be even worse. (neuts can\'t buff sided either if they are teamed). FC should already know about this (afaik reported when LE where beta, and also after), so with the speed FC usually fix things (problem for neuts: likely did fall off the priolist), this will not likely be fixed anytime soon.

And no healing too, so far I had this happen when I have teamed people outside of BS. I hope FC will bring team registering back, but I doubt they will. They have to code a level check you know, might take like... 3 lines of codes for that (if... else print(no!).

Now what\'s annoying... oh yea bugs while building your team. More then often it doesn\'t really understand who is fighting or not and you end up with an empty team windows and semi funcitonnal chat.

I had someone invited into 2 teams once and we shared the same chat, 11 people team ftw.

For me it is the target out of range when I am so close that I am basically humping the mob :huh:  :angry:.

I got one that annoys me - aggro while swimming:

You:

1. Cannot heal
2. Cannot defend
3. Slower than snot

Mob:

1. Panic heal on
2. Can still beat the crap out of you
3. Plays Jesus and walks on water if you ever manage to swim faster then it

Did not used to be like that, but around 17.2, FC in their infinite wisdom made it this way. Another great ninja fix we could have done without.
