Thread: Burned out lights and candles poofing?

Sometime between 11 pm CDT last night and 11 am CDT this morning, all burned out candles in my mall, cantina, and house have disappeared. I thought someone on admin was doing what they thought was a favor for me (i wanted to leave the burned out ones in the chandelier, since it looks better with them then with out them). I started asking my guild, and they started looking at their buildings. In all cases except one, the burned out candles and lights were gone. The exception was Sopranos Cantina in Amrylin, Naboo, Valcyn.


So what is going on? Is anyone else having this problem? So now if something burns out it just poofs. What about a radial menu fix here? Those were my items, I crafted them lovingly. So now I am forced to get rid of my chandelier (which brings my decorator a lot of business when people see it), or actually replace them every 30 days, and it will never look the same?


Sorry, but I wanted to cry when I saw the mall and teh cantina chandeliers not only unlit (which I can handle), but also empty.

Publish 18 fixed the bug that enabled burnt out lighting to stay lit. Not a popular fix at all, and one they should really have left alone. So unfortunatly you will have to replace all the lights, or like most people, just say f**k it and leave it dark.



This does not, however, explain why they all disappeared. The lights should still be there, just unlit.

I am well aware of that publish. That is not what is being discussed here, but all of them physically disapeering from the house once burned out.


They are NO LONGER there.

I am not sure if it helps, but I do know that the light are still there. I am not sure about the candles either. I will have to check again. Thanks for the info though.


thanks,

I walked into my cantina today to find ALL of my lights GONE. I started wondering who raided my cantina and looked at my administrator's list....everyone on it would have grabbed the rug too......


Needless to say, I have no lamps, and no candles in my cantina anymore. In fact, the only lit corner would be the one with my wookiee totems. Fixing and placing the lighting is a serious problem and huge pain, especially if a person runs a place of business. I'm having to reorder crates of candles and lamps now just incase they go poof again. I had a pretty good setting for my lights and now I have the great lengthy time consuming pleasure of inching them all into their exact spots once again.


What bothers me is this "bug" was never mentioned in all of the publish 18 fixes! Did the devs somehow know it would be an unpopular move?! Anyways, if this keeps up I'll drop the aesthetic route and start using good ole torches again. Those things never go out.

All my candles were still standing but on a side note I was changing vendors yesterday and noticed that 90% of my crated candles/lights had been reduced by one, meaning they had gone from 10 item crates to 9 item crates. I thought this was a little strange. They also say Life Span: 0 but when I took it out the life span was normal.

I like my burned out lamps, especially the funky looking ones.


I think it is best for everyone to sumbit tickets. The more this is an issue, the faster the fix will come.

If anything I wanted those lights to stay in place so thatI know where and how the burned out ones were positioned. As it is now, 2 chandiliers will either be torn down, or I will have to guess.


The torn down route is probaly going to be the choice...

shush up, developers have a tendency to get itchy when they're prodded, and we don't want the torches and wookie totems going the way of the candle, now do we?

Like everybody else I've had all my lights go out and then vanish totaly. Quick solution was to drop down some glow sticks I looted on Kash.


However after dropping only 3 glow sticks to replace the 5 lights in the main room of my house I started getting the "This container is full" warning.


Seems that though the lights have gone they are still counting as items in my house. Anybody else notice this? (There's a chance something else has been dropped in my house that has taken up the empty spaces, just wanted to be sure)
