Architect Archive

Just please give us a chance to make money other than just selling stuff because almost everyone has what they want. pretty soon everyone will be dropping architect (if they havent already)

the problem for architects is we try to make money but everyone laughs at our prices and yet they buy weapons and armor (which can cost a lot more)which are soooooooooooooooooooooo much easier to make... i know they are needed more but still no one cares about us, when arhitects that try to stick to thier higher price (me and others looking TO TURN A PROFIT) we get troubled by others who are always looking to undercut the other... everyone is out to beat someone elses price... thats the market. I really wish we could get everyone to agree on a set price but it will never happen. another thing that pisses me off is not the fact that somone undercuts me but the fact that they dropthe price byso much that they are losing money and dont care because they have so much. SOME OF US ACTUALLY NEED THE MONEY!!! another thing is the construction (pretty sure its the experiment skills)part of the tree is the most pointless thing ever... why not take it out and when player cities come out add cantinas, med centers, cloning facilities, starports, shuttleports and faction related buildings in those 4 skills.

/ranting off

its too bad the devs dont care and other people will just try to reason with the bad things with our profession.

I agree it sucks now to make money.... Basically if your an Architect now you are building for friends or a town. I would recomend joining a town that needs another Architect.

If you want money pick up weapon/armor smith and do Architect on side, u cant make money on Architect now.

I agree we need the construction tree to do something, but cantina, med hospitals, etc will be in Urban Planner, and I am glad. Only the dedicated Architects will be Urban Planner, and hopefully the economy of it will not be ruined like Architect has been.

um, so its the beta testers fault for all the undercutting jackasses?

I dont think so.

why ?

Cause i was a beta tester master architect. Am i rich? nope.

If everyone says the market is saturated for houses and that we cant barely sell anything anymore, why look forward to urban planner? It will follow the same pattern, people get togther, build their town and soon people wont be needing more town buildings, just like they dont need more personal homes. And I imagine afew of the towns will be guild run around their PA Halls, and these guilds probably have a resident MA already that will put down his pistol and take up architecture again to build his guilds town, just like he did for the PA hall. But soon the town market will dry up as well. The more new things we add that DONT decay, doesnt mean that we will soon be fully employed. Yes we will be fully employed after Urban planning comes out, but that doesnt mean it will last forever, as housing didnt last forever. The demand will be there, but the demand will be met.

What we trully need is an influx of constant new players into the game or server who need homes, or some sort of decay, or some way to change our buildings...

You look at the tailor. The demand for the items they make will never end. Sure, everyone in the game will have a set of clothes.. but overtime they get more money and want a blue dress instead of a red one. Or want a party outfit instead of their field gear. Its too bad our houses arent like that, where we could paint them or redesign the inside. But then again we can make furniture, can never have too many orange couches I guess :/

Weapons and armor arent easier to make than houses. They just take less resources. To make the guns that sell you have to have mines on 4 different planets. TO make melee weapons that sell, you need mines on another 2.

Im not an armorsmith, but I bet they have it about the same way.

Look, just because it takes a lot of resources to make something doesnt mean its harder. Architect is about the easiest of the elite professsions. Yeah, it takes a ton of materials to make an outhouse, but that is all we really need. Lots of materials. You only need factoris for a few combines, whereas most other professions use factory-made items on most recipies.

Just setting the record straight. i hear a lot of architects whining about how much harder it is t be an arch than a weaponsmith. I am both, and I dont see it.

But I agree, you won't get rich being an architect.

get a guild where your the only architect and work out a good deal (dont forget the good deal part, I forgot that X.x)

I'm not droping architect 0.o I'm gonna become one of the first urban planners!

woot

ahazi server, dantooine

I dunno, ...

I make plenty of money as an architect. Not as much as weaponsmiths, but so what? So they have five times the credits as me to spend on nothing, big deal.
