Thread: Vendor and Stockroom Issues

so are lost items being replaced?
Fat chance.
Comment: I, like others, lost hundreds of items, worth in the millions. However, simply handing me a pile of credits that approximate the retail value of all the stuff lost does me little good. The real loss from my standpoint (and I realize not everyone is in the same boat) is that it will take me weeks and many many hours of my precous play time to restock the vendors to the level they were stocked prior to this disaster. And simply having a mess of credits (which I already have anyway) doesn't make that happen. It's likely to take me weeks to fully restock my vendors, and of course cause me all kinds of problems in securing the necessary resources to do so.
Are you kidding me that the devs still don't know what's going on? This has nothing to do with the stockroom! This has to do with items that are listed for 30 days disappearing in 14! Thunderheart's post clearly indicates that they don't know what's going on.
To be even more clear:
1. Patch goes in. Code for 30 day listings goes into effect.
2. Withdraw all items from vendor. Items are now in stockroom
3.
This is going to sound rude, but my suggestion as a programmer is this:
next time a time oriented feature is added which takes 30 days to take affect, test it in the TC for more than 30 days before introducing it. It obviously was not, because the bug would have been caught immediately if it had been tested in this way.
I had 3 items which were offered to me on my vendor disappear after I bought them and tried to retrieve them. The message I got was:
"The item no longer exists. Your bank has been reimbursed for the sale price of this item."
I did get my money back, but as far as we can tell, the poor guy who made these items for me is out of luck! Since he ia a friend and was giving me agood deal, I am helping him bear theloss, but it certainly is a huge problem!
I just wanted to add this information to the known problems of items disappearing after 14 days.
The vendor problems need a hotfix, hopefully soon!
Come on everyone, you signed up for Beta so you have to expect these things. It is our job to find these game breaking bugs before the game goes live...... opps sorry had a flash back to beta.
Luckily I only lost some rocket launchers and about 20 other guns before I found out what was going on yesterday. I feel bad for the people that do not read the boards every day. They will get wiped out.

C'mon, Thunderheart -
Fix your post, please.
A lot of peeps just check in and read the dev posts, and don't go through all the threads.
Furthermore, all the threads on this issue on the main board were locked, so peeps just scanning the main boards for a hot item will not even know about this issue, unless they read a bunch of this thread.
The initial post in this thread makes this thread look like it addresses a trivial problem of convienience. This is not the case.
