Can't use utilities underwater?

No, this is valid and needs to be addressed in the UI. I did the same thing, got to 80 (and a little past) never having equipped an underwater utility. When I mentioned something in map chat, I was not the only one (brightened a couple people’s day!)

Keep in mind, when a player first ventures into water, they typically do not have any utility skills. What they experience is: they go into water, their weapon automatically switches to the underwater version, and all their utilities are locked. Now, once a player has unlocked skills, they will go into water, however they are A)already accustomed to their bar switching automatically and B )the utility slots being locked underwater. It’s a pretty easy mistake to make.

BUG - Kits unequip & turret ability lost after X minutes

After 6 minutes of continual equip of a kit it will automatically unequip itself. This is quite frustrating. It’s already been mentioned numerous times in this forum, if kits are the engineers equivalent to weapon choices, they need to function mechanically the same as a weapon. This includes such things as not automatically unequipping and remembering auto-attack preferences.

A similar issue happens to turrets that are deployed for longer than ~16 1/2 minutes. The ability will revert to the “build turret” mode, even though the turret will not itself despawn and remains active. This results in an interesting scenario where you will have the turret deployed and functional, cannot use it’s special ability, however the toolbelt skill is now active again and useable.

I’m starting to see it mentioned more and more in LA chat, people wondering where the heck their money is going.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a fair amount of the 1c undercutting/selling below or very close to vendor is simply because people don’t know they’re getting charged an extra 10%.

The 5% listing fee is shown clearly in the sell item on trading post window. The additional 10% cut of a sale is not, it’s not even mentioned anywhere save the wiki, which most players do not check.

I could get all ranty and complain about the fact that I just lost 2g over several transactions because I didn’t realize that fee was there and thought the delivery was just slow. But I’ll take that one on me and just suck it up.

The fee also seems like a terribly bad idea, given the current state of the TP and the already high difficulty in making a profit. But I’m no John Smith, so just my two cents.

Just add the info to the window so no one else gets burned. Thanks.
