Architect Archive

Personally, I think the "Top Five" should be reviewed/updated a week after each publish. This would allow deletion of items fixed, addition of new items, and after a week minors bugs "SHOULD" have bueen "hotfixed."

This thread drops faster than a two bit Hoe.

what are our top 5 issues again??????

He he.. Sorry missed this thread.... Here is the state of the Top 5 .. As we all know under AA our Top 5 obviously shifted.. We spent a lot of time debating what was current issues.. Since then some of those have infact been addressed and handled.. I am supposed to submit a new Revised and Current List of Issues.. OF which I would say the majority of the work we put into the list we made last month can still be used...

Heh.. I actually started a new job that pays ... well alot more and gives me alot more time for Forum "play" So in the next couple days.. I will be spending some time Editing the Top 5 to remove addressed items and then putting them on the table again for open discussion...

please dont take out renewable income issue. Candles are a welcome addition to the game but I have since has 0 orders for 0 credits since this patch went live. so i still have no renewable income. I think it needs to go in the top 5 again. I dont know what happened to all these "hundreds of interior designers" that Thunderheart talked about, they sure dont exist on infinity server.

Well from what I am hearing candles hardly qualify as a renewable income source anyway, sure they are supposed to decay, in fact they do it so well they apparently even decay in crates and inventory, but they appear NOT to decay once placed, or at least they DO, but they stay lit indefinitely once they reach zero, so once placed how you want them, then as long as you don't pick them up (and why would you want to if you got the placement perfect), they will still be there when the galaxy implodes on itself. What exactly is renewable about that ?

If I got it right, then this was the list of our top 5 issues:

These are the Final issues that are relevant to the Architect Profession

Issue 1). Bugs These are what we have set as bugs, we need them fixed or addressed and clarified at least if this is as intended..
Harvester Anime.. Not working when harvesters reload..
Master Armoire still is not right.
Factories are stopping before the 100 item limit in output hopper is reached.

Issue 2) Interior Design. As a viable role for architects there are many changes that need to occur. The following is a list of what are our priorities in this category..

Up/Down ability on item movement.(yes announced that this is being worked on but this will be an issue until in fact this feature actually makes it in game)

We need colorizing options for furniture especially those that require hide or wood as ingredients.. Either in the same style a tailor chooses colors or using a craft able tool that shares the same platform as the new vehicle customization tool.

Storage type furniture needs to be used for that purpose(in the way that we are using backpacks now for storage.( chests, armoires, cabinets. Etc.)

New Furniture. Even one or two per patch would be nice.

Lights Lights Lights. Can these work please..?

Issue 3). The way things are working and the way they should.. There are a handful of instances that just need a little revamping or tweaking..

Fusion and Solar harvesters are not having an option to experiment on effectiveness on final assembly ..

We should be able to experiment on factory effectiveness. A well set up manufacturing center should produce items on an assembly line faster than we can by hand..

If it’s a chair we should be able to sit on it.. If it’s a bed we should be able to lie down on it.

Factory crates should ALL(especially Ore Mining Units)go to 100 item limit and identical crates of less than 100 items should be able to stack.

Allow resources to stack to 1million units. This will help tremendously on storage issues.

Lights Lights Lights.. Can these work please..?

Issue 4). Renewable Income. With saturation of harvesters on our servers increasing the need for our services are dropping.. This can be addressed in a few ways.

We want a role in the GCW. Building facilities and items that can be destroyed.

If a structure falls below 0 maintenance then it should take a repair kit(craft able) to get that structure operational again. Repair kit should require items like a new power core (generator), lubricating oil, and resources that would restore structural integrity(metals).

New structures always raise new demands.. Especially ones that are Player City specific(would also add benefit of joining a city)

We need to be able to offer a wider variety on some structures. For example Give us experimentation on houses.. It can have a swinging effect like if we increase storage capacity of a house it has higher maintenance costs and visa versa.

Issue 5) Our Role in the GCW. Every profession should have a specific role in the this war. It only makes sense that architects should be able to make any structure involved in bases.

If a person wants to place a base/turret they should have to go to faction recruiter purchase a schematic with their faction points then have an architect build this item. The architect should have to get some items from other Professions Like Weapons Core from a WS for the Turrets, Reinforced Armor Plating from AS for bases, Clothe From Tailor for banners and flags.. These items will also help with our issues on Renewable source of income..

Allow us to also make new items.. Walls .. Gates.. Towers(watch/sniper) that can also be added to fortifying bases(all destroyable)

Actually our top five issues, from stickied thread that Pawlin started, and Dvnce said he used, are/were as follows:

My comments are in red below

And here is "My" Top 5 Breakdown:

When you look at my post above, I guess you could say that 26% of my issues have been resolved. However, this does not mean I am ready to let go hehehe. However, it is progress.

thx for putting me right rotor, I used the search function, little wonder I didn't find the correct thread !
