Periods for Unit tags and names are not allowed in game

Also, to piggyback a post from StillRadioactive in the Delay sub-forum, Disbanding does not free up the unit's name. This seems like it could be exploited to grief other players. Enter and disband a bunch of likely-popular names and then no one can ever use them even though you aren't using them either.

Yep, I was going to report the 'name not released when a unit disbands' but, but someone beat me to it.

Setting the MOTD:

When maneuvering around the text box, the arrow keys behave strangely when at the very end of your MOTD entry.

If you are at the far right of your entry and you press the right arrow twice. Your cursor appears to be gone as though the text box has lost focus. Additional presses of either the right or left arrow have no effect.

if you are at the far right of your entry and you press the right arrow once followed by the left arrow twice, you will highlight/select all the text you've entered in the box. Typing a character while the text is highlighted replaces the text with the character you just typed.

If you have highlighted the text and you press the left arrow, your cursor moves to the beginning of entry. If you press the left arrow again, your cursor is gone as though the text box has lost focus.

If you have highlighted the text and you press the right arrow twice, the cursor disappears as though the text box has lost focus.

If you manually highlight the whole section, it behaves the same as using right->left->left.

So far liking the unit interface. Got one error after changing rank abilities. Said I have unsaved changes. The save button was greyed out because I had already saved. It did not seem to affect my changes.

Could not do anything with coffer. Made this feature had to judge. Several of us donated a few million c-bill. The donated amounts seemed to show correctly one user donation did not show until a few drops later.

Movable chat box is a great feature. Will more or the UI had movable boxes, i.e. the social tab.

Unit members should be a different color on the friend list.

Not sure how it all went about. I was afk when my SCol (Ghozzt) was added. He ended up leaving the unit to create one of his own for testing purpose and see how the creation worked. He still shows up in the unit tab, but he is not part of the unit.

I entered my unit name: Royal Terra Guard. I received the following message: Unable to Create the Unit “Royal Terra Guard” as it contains 1 or more filtered words. I am not violating any profanity rules. And the Royal Terra Guard is not a Lore unit to the best of my knowledge. Is there a specific reason why my Unit name is invalid.

A user who accepts an invite has their faction alliance changed. Not sure what happens if it is/if it can be changed back since the PTS has no webpage/forum account to make the change in.

When a user leaves the unit, there is a chat and officers log/message "UserName has left the unit"

When a user is kicked out of a unit, there are no log messages other than "Username has left chat"

Seems like officers at least should be informed when a fellow officer goes on a pruning spree.

Have a standard six ranks, then allow the CO to add to them, if they want to have all 30+. Removing 25+ of them is a bigger pain than adding as you require.

Forethought, PGI... when you design something, think in terms of usability and removal of frustrating roadblocks and time wasters.

This is an issue the plagues the current interface. The Font is way too small, fuzzy, and depending on the background or the special smoke effect drifting by, almost invisible. The Font needs to be bigger and higher contrast with background. It's current state is unacceptable.

[Damalis Knight]

I like the idea for the factions. But the screen is "BLACK" no background. I only have one question. How do you get planets?

[Little Details]

Number of issues:

1. My Tag was "HoC" - in the drop prep screen before the match correctly shows "HoC" (one lowercase), but on the faction screen it's "HOC" (all uppercase) here:

Same thing as it shows all caps on full name "HOUSE OF CHAMBERMAIDS" when it was entered as "House of Chambermaids"

2. Renamed ranks allow you to have the same text. Probably not a huge issue, but if not a big code change would be nice to have some check on that to not allow duplicate names.


3. Not a big deal either, but the MOTD box doesn't have an enter button, you just have to know to press enter.

[Jacob Side]

As an officer with the ability to view the coffer, I could see the total and my donation in, but i did not see the donations of the other members

[Deathlike]

Oh, there's a bug with the Coffers viewing.

If there is no initial donation, other ranks that can see the coffers get the message that it is "restricted from them" (I forget the exact wording), when the actual case is that there is zero money contributed to the group.

You should have your friends list available when sending invites to your unit. Typing out names from memory is very cumbersome. How about a drag and drop or invite to unit button by their names

[Snowseth]

Possible UI error.
Created unit, changed all the rank names and deleted some, no issues there.
Clicked "Unit Coffers", prompted me to discard changes or cancel, cancelled ... saved changes.
With Save button greyed out, clicked "Unit Coffers" again and it prompted me to save changes first.
No changes were made. Continued 'without' saving.
Previous changes were saved and kept.

[Threat Doc]

I was unable to get into the PTS, today, but from what I've seen I have one or two suggestions...

1) Will we be able to upload rank images, eventually, or is it going to only be text, for now?

2) Are we going to get to post our unit logo's anytime soon?

Other than that, from all I saw in Dev VLOG #7, it looks pretty dog gone good.

[xeromynd]

One thing I noticed (very small non-gamebraking thing)

The text alignment for each list during the initial pre-match screen is off.
The column title doesn't match that column's contents in terms of vertical alignment.

[Snowseth]

Not a bug, just a suggestion.

In-Game: No pop-up with unit information on hover.

[A Man In A Can]

I'm just glad this feature is free not 18 or so mil with a mandatory 11 other people doing the same needed to even participate.

This method is accessible to anyone, and anyone can be invited. And that's great! Though I'm sure long-standing guilds representing canon units will be hit pretty hard with the name restrictions. All I can hope for is that the restrictions are there to allow for the restricted canon units to be used in lore-based player events, and that you are restricting their use now to avoid any "Unit X did Y" storyline and Unit X responds "no we did not" situations sometime in the future.

Then there is the issue mentioned about players able to grief other players by denying them unit names by forming units and disbanding. This is a serious issue if that is the case. Make sure to put code in there that upon disbandment, the complete unit name and associated tags are free for anyone else to use, if it isn't there already, and verify that the code is working properly with the database.

Other than the above, mostly pleased with the compromise and the feature in general.

[Dark DeLaurel]

Also want to report the 1 or more words are filtered error. As per pre-reg Clan Hell's Horses Int'l should be fine, trying to use it to form a unit gives the error.

Wasn't there supposed to be a map of the inner sphere? I guess thats not part of this CW module...

Inviting a friend to a unit via the friends list gives me this (Missing language file token translation i guess):

Since he didn't mention it but it uses the same image:

"text bug" on the "UNIT" invite.
