YEah, I dropped a new vendor next to an older one that barks a greeting, and the old vendor barked at the new vendor.
Insane.
You got to be kidding me. Lol
OMG, I'm gonna have to set three vendors up to do a monthy python skit. rofl.
Maybe the "I've come for an argument" routine.

Master Merchant/Master Chef on Wanderhome. I have 3 registered vendors in a cantina in a player city - Vicimus on Naboo and 2 unregistered vendors at another location. The registered vendors are not showing up on the map. The registered vendors are a female Bothan, Ithorian & male Devorian (sp?). I tried unregistering & re-registering them & that didn't work. All of them have maintenance paid up & I paid more into them in addition today. All of them are stocked up at around 100 items. I didn't have time to check to see if the city itself showed up on the map before the Wanderhome server crashed. Seems there are "issues" with my server crashing from the patch today & I can't get back in yet.

I started a thread about lamps decaying on vendors, but I don't think it's related to pub 10. When the lamps were crafted (by me!) I'm reasonably certain they had a lifespan of 41 days, and I named them accordingly. The reason I noticed a possible lifespan decay issue was that an exhorbitant number of items from one of my vendors went to the stockroom after Ahazi was brought back online with the pub today. That may be an issue for this thread though. I can't say beyond a shadow of a doubt, but I seriously do not think I crafted and/or puled from factories 287 items and then stocked them on a vendor in just one day. I'm just not THAT industrious. =)
Back to the lamps...crates with the exact same serial number are reporting different lifespans. Should not be possible. This is on crates in both the sales and stockroom area. The crates I looked at dropped from a 41 day lifespan to 29 days and change. That's not the hours that I would expect if the decay started when Ahazi came back online this morning.

...and one more vote for registered vendors not showing on the HUD AND the planetary map under vendors as well. And not just my vendors, but others that I know have maintained the merchant skill before pub 10.

Same issue of course. Master Merchant, all vendors registered as normal, now not showing up on overhead or planetary vendor listing.
I have also had the issue of all my waypoints showing, very faintly, on the overhead map at times.
Also, PLEASE for the love of all holy and pure, re-tweak the ad barking. LoL
Mine have been going nuts! Just like mentioned above, they ad bark at *everything*.
I can be standing in the same room with them, I take 1 step and they bark. I pull my droid out, they bark at my droid. I move one step, my droid moves 1 step, and they bark at my droid again.
I've been creating new vendors, they bark at everyone I place down.
They bark at arriving customer's vehicles.
They bark at the customer from outside when they arrive and again when they walk inside, the same ones.
I had to disable 2 of them because I couldn't take it anymore.
Anyways, I have 6 vendors in my house, one of them isn't even mine. It's a medium Tat house. Nonce of them show. My registered vendor in my PA's tent doesn't show up, although none of the vendors in there do, owned by other people. Massive issue servers-wide. Used to be 20+ clothing vendors on Tat map, now there's like 5. hehe
Thanks Doc.

I just wanted to post that none of the vendors in my mall are able to be globally advertised.
We all have the skills and money and items needed and have all tried relisting them several times. (over 5 merchants and 20 vendors) and none of us could get listed on the map.
On Bria it seamed to me that some people were listed at the server restart and if you were not on there you weren't getting on. The list has not changed all day that I have noticed and I was on right after the server came up.
But then of course some people have said they got on so their must be a way to do it.
Well, what did you expect, a totally bug free patch?

I no longer have the necessary skills for my vendors. From what I thought I understood, I would no longer be able to place any items on these vendors however they would still exist and the items could still be sold. After 30 days or wheneverthe saleswere unsuccessful, the items would beplaced in storage and I would be able to retrieve them.
When I checked my vendors today, every non-looted item was deleted. The only thing remaining were things like Imp/Reb Transmissions, locked containers, and other looted items.
Did I misinterpret the whole idea behind what would happen to vendors owned by players who lacked the skills to own them or is this a bug?
I noticed that this happened to a few other people on Eclipse.

This sounds like a bug. I understood the system to work as you first described it. Just to ask the obvious, you checked the stockroom, and you checked that you weren't viewing the vendor by misc items only? (The latter has happened to me sometimes, if I was shopping elsewhere.) Probably not the case, but I did want to mention it. Ouch, I'm really sorry this bug hit you. That's a terrible loss

Yes, I checked everything. And like I said, there are others on Eclipse who experienced the same issue. At least I have some comfort in that. Only about 20mill worth of stuff lost, if in fact it is lost.

Submit bug reports and CS tickets for the lost items. Nothing was supposed to be deleted by this publish.

Vendors not showing on the map - all six of them. I have also re-registered them to see if that would work. It didn't.
Quite disappointing.
This worked on the test server, how is it possible is broke when going live?
I'm a Master Merchant and it's the case for all 6 vendors.

only 2 of my 9 vendors on map. Of those, one of the ones showiung was created pre patch. The other 8 were all post-patch. The one post patch vendor that shows on map had stock before I registered forplanetary advertising so I am hoping the rest reset after restart as I am figuring my advertising was instantly switched off as I had no stock.
A Very wierd one... spent all evening stocking vendors. Suddenly, for no reason at all, When I select sell an item I am shown the contents of my Bank safety deposit.. NOT my inventory as I should be. Again, hoping restart will fix this.
