Thread: If Patch didn't break anything new, I vote Planet-Ad reset every day as #1 defect

There is still plenty of room for enhancements to the class. But as far as bugs, this one forces me to wake up 30 min early before work, log on, and reset all my vendors every day. Fairly annoying.

Yes, I have also timed my waking up with when the server maint. is usually over. It's easy if you are in Central Standard Time.

Try having a job


When I get up the servers are still up from the night before (4:30 am) and leave the house to go to work about 6:30am. So for me, my planetary ad is off till I get home and get dinner ready ... basically 7pm.


So miss a good chunk of the day with this bug.

This IMO is the most important fix we need.



I just finished master tailor yesterday and I want to now focus my time and energy on being a true mercant. I already have all the lots donated that I need to run one store on each planet, and I have the time to do the running around and buying goods for the vendors.



What I DONT have time to do is wake up at 7:30 and drink my coffie waiting for the server to come up, then run to every vendor on every planet and reset my ads AND get to work on time.


Never mind the expense of having to fly to every major planet ever day to do this.


It's been enough of a pain to do one vendor on most mornings.



This issue needs to be addressed quickly...and I fear it is gonna be something they have problems addressing.



Maybe when I get home from vacation next week it will be all better

I say the #1 issue is that we are still no better than a guy with business3.... we have some cool toys, but no real advantage.

However the Advertising issue is a real pain in the ars, so I can back you guys that want this to be #1.

But I steel think merchants need more fixing than just Advertising 2 & 3.

Ugh, I have to reset the planetary advertising too?!


I think resetting the barking of your vendor is needing fixed at the same time.

I would have to disagree. The most annoying issue for me atm is the auction ending on personal vendors. I run three shops with each one haveing hunrdreds of items. Having everything dropping to stock room after the auction period ends is annoying and very time consuming to manage. I belive in have fully stocked vendors as that is the purpose of a shop in the first place. This is a huge time sink.

Well ... if we want to talk about something I can't wait to be fixed ... it's that ^#$^% bug that causes items to poof from my customer's inventory when they leave and head to town.


Gawd ... I will live with the Ad III being busted if they would just fix that.

Agreed. This has been and still is very annoying for both merchants and customers. Merchants because we have to reset our vendors every day and customers because the planetary map is never an accurate representation of the available vendors.
