Annoying character selection screen bugs that never gets fixed...

2) doesn't save character headgear display preference [some headgears show for certain classes, some don't]
3) tatoos and scar patterns colors don't always show the correct colors after logging out
4) immediately after logging in, fixed position camera doesn't compensate for very tall characters [head is cut off the screen]

Nightfall select screen is here to stay for a long time, so please fix these annoying bugs!

Now fixed:
1) doesn't save sort order preference [really annoying when you have lots of characters]

These are your top 2 issues with GW?

ateddybear · Nov 01, 2006, 08:46 PM // 20:46

Those 2 things gripe me too.

I notice it every single time I log in. As a single occurance, it's far less annoying than some bugs. But cumulatively, it's one of the things that grows on you. Grows like a fungus. On your leftovers. And then you don't notice it until you've bitten off half of it. Y'know?

Hehehe. That got a chuckle.

I agree. It's annoying. Not gamebreaking in any way, but it is somewhat fungus-like.

its annoying when logging out and switching characters. if you have a lot of characters and theyre not sorted the way you want, you end up scrolling more than you have to. or you have to manually change the sort order everytime. if they make settings such as these, they should be saved!

its one of those things that's so obvious, that it should be done in the first place. so customers don't have to complain about it.

The headgear thing annoys me quite a bit actually. It works the first time after logging off the character, but after that, it seems to put the masks back on. And the elementalist hats have never shown up at all.

My monk tattoos (Drok's tattoos, IIRC) also revert back to their default color if I use that character and then log out -> back to character selection screen. It only reverts back to the normal if I log in with another character or shut the game down -> restart. This has been bugged ever since they first changed the login screen background to the Factions one (back during the first Factions PvP beta event).

Old Pics, but the problem still remains...

Here's what my character should look like all the time:

Here's what my character's look changes to after I use him -> logout:

I also would appreciate it if we could set our own character screen ordering that the game remembers. I deleted a character in one of the middle slots, and now that slot is blank. It looks pretty odd with an open slot between my current characters.

i added your bug to the list. almost forgot to mention that one.

Shadis · Nov 02, 2006, 01:14 AM // 01:14

Has anyone else gotten "The Scare"? You know, when you're using one of the added slots on either end and you log in, but don't see your character? Then you remember you can scroll your slots now... :P

Diablo™ · Nov 02, 2006, 01:56 AM // 01:56

I've only gotten "the scare" once; the first time i installed GW on another computer, and loading up my account. All my characters revert back to their noob armors...

Now I know better.

Another annoyance is the wonky camera angle after logging in. Immediately after logging in, the camera is in a fixed position. If you have a tall character, the head is cut off the screen. Once you select another character, the problem goes away since the camera angle "auto-centers". This problem started during the NF preview, went away after it ended, and re-surfaced during the NF release. This is definitely a NF specific bug.

That happens to necro scars too, actually.

I wanna be able to drag/drop them into what box i want them, cuz i deleted a few pvp and it just went mental and moved everyone everywhere, so now my pve and pvps are all mixed up and blanks ones are in there too...its rediculous.

same here. it would be really helpful if the sort order is saved--like every other setting. heck even that new "hide UI" setting on the login screen gets saved. why not these?

But what a huge scare that one is

Oh Noes! Where did my FoW-armor go? Glad it is only temporary.

Oh, and for the "2) doesn't save character headgear display preference [some headgears show for certain classes, some don't]" it only happens with my Ranger and Mesmer, half of the time.

Oh a GW forum · Nov 02, 2006, 09:52 AM // 09:52

I could care less about armor not showing right, but I hate having pvp characters (mules) mixed in with my pve.

Cassandra · Nov 02, 2006, 10:20 AM // 10:20

I always get the headgear displaying bug on ALL my mesmers (I don't like mesmer masks, and they're always there when I log in.. -_- ).

I find it annoying, especially given that it doesn't sound like a hell of a coding mess to fix.

ChaoticCoyote · Nov 02, 2006, 01:03 PM // 13:03

I simply want an option to sort my characters by TIME SPENT PLAYING them. This would put my most active characters on the left.

And it would be nice if the interface *remembered* the chosen sort order and hat setting.
