Merchant Archive

Well after losing almost 80 items today from items not showing up in my stockroom after auctions timing out or manually withdrawing items, I would like to see THIS fixed.

I'm scared to even USE a vendor now!

Somebody bumped this thread, and inadvertantly raised my irritation level. The response from Q is now a month old and:

They still have not hired the assistant community manager

I still don't trust my vendors, and there are frequent posts about lost items, despite reported fixes. Is anyone satisfied with how wellthey work? Note that I am talking about the bug fixes, not requested improvements.

Custom barking now appears in the menu, but like all barking and registration disappears by the next morning. Nobody is sure what, if anything, you get for the extra price of premium sales

The vendor list seems a little different, but is still not explained. Also it effectivly doesn't work for someone like me who plays only at night (see previous item), it is hardly worth re-setting

Vendors can no longer be killed, but the other requests have disappeared onto some unseen priority list.

We now have porch signs that are at least different than non-merchant house signs, and rollover is no longer required on either. They are not very obvious though, and only visible from the front of the house.

Shop furniture is also on the unseen priority list.

I appreciated the attention a month ago, but I nowthink we should lobby for the "Retired Master" badge as our sole request.

POST 100 !!!!!!

Yeah baby....

Fix vendors ad barking..

Change hiring 3.. i got nothing for taking it.

Fix signs for shops..

Give us that furniture. !!!!!!

Heres hoping.

Hello,

Really sorry if this question has already been brought up but this problem w/ vendors has really got me bugged.

I completely understand that the bazaar terminals have and need timers for items to expire but for god sakes can someone look into removing these timers from personal vendors

Being an architect I placeTONS of items on my vendors for sale - i.e. furniture, deeds and such items like electronics and components

Coming home and logging in and finding out that I have 75-200 emails etc because all my items have expired on my vendors and now i have to turn around and resale them and also have to figure out what all competing prices i was selling them for.

Please look into removing the timers so items don't expire from personal vendors.

Thanks

eGimli,

At least I can help you with one thing: If you look at the "details" on the item in the stockroom it has your previous price. I use it if I don't feel like re-thinking the price, but then again it didn't sell...

by far the 2 biggest problems with merchant are:

1. 7 days of stock time in our own shops

2. Planetary ads shut off daily

Kana

What fix?

Nothing!!

AD I/II nor working.. The barking stops after a while

ADIII - I need to relist each time

The AD barking for me stops working after the server reset in the mornings...

Custom is the same way..

Plus I HAT the fact the _MY_ sales go 'unsuccessful' on my own vendor.. I didn't give that vendor the right to take off what they don't feel is selling

"More finely tuned move object controls. a four foor jump is a bit much when I am trying to fit a crafting station and something else against a short wall."

Narfle, are you familair with the "/moveFurniture FORWARD 1" command? You can substitute "back" for "forward" and any number for "1."

There's also "rotateFurniture LEFT 1"

Anyone know the command to help select an object that I can't see? My bed is hidden in the wall.

Ad barking stops after a few hours

Global Advertising has to be reset EVERY DAY

7-day timeout on items on our vendor

More breakup of the listing options. pistols/rifles/carbines not just ranged

a 'search' option for the bazaar. say i'm looking for crism ore, i can type in crism and it searches. That'd save me hours searching the bazaar id'n every thing

Thanks DEV team for keeping the responses comming!

As a Master Merchant, I've noticed I am the same as when I was a novice Merchant. The difference being, a whopping 20% savings on the costs of upkeep. I may have a few suggestions that will go unread, no doubt.

1. Make the efficiency skills worth while. A sliding scale perhaps, whereas on level 1 you save 10% and at master 75% savings on all things upkept. The max savings of 40% on ONLY vendors is sick and wrong.

2. The vendors are VERY askew as far as costs and looks. Droids cost thousands per day, whereas my humaniod work for less the the people who cut my lawn. Also, every vendor looks the same. There is only so many times I could walk into my house and see this HUGELY OBESE zabrak with an apparent "dirty sanchez" on her face before I had to have her destroyed like a rabid pet. I request an ability, like character creation for vendors. Perhaps not as in depth, but maybe.... the ability to change the weight to something more "normal".

3. The Ad Barking design is horrible. Outside of being broken, it's still not functional enough to be enjoyable. Especially when they constantly bark their ads at house administrators until you get so annoyed you shut it off. Perhaps a radial menu allowed, for Q&A about goods sold. Unfortunately, the radials already existing in game is broken. I once took a mission by clicking "response 2.1".

4. Global advertisement. Could we please advance out of beta on this game? How many times do I have to reset my vendors on global listins before it sticks. I am a MASTER MERCHANT! My vendors should be global, CONSTANTLY! Again, this should also be placed under the efficiency scale, so it costs less to run the advertisments globally as you progress up the tree.

5. Storefronts/Tents. Options set on houses, which would expand a portion of the front of a house for a storefront... Tents IN cities would be nice as well, I would personally place a helluvah expensive upkeep on this, of course, discounted with efficiency... So that cities arent' filled with these things, secondly the placement should be set as on walls only. As in, not able to block against other storefronts, or house entranceways. ( I can't figure out how you would set a storefront on a round house though)

6. Vendor item listings. Items should have price changable without taking it off the vendor. The spam email is annoying. The fact that the vendors stop selling the item after 7 days is insane. I doubt there should be a time limit at all, however, a listing as to how many days an item has been on sale would be nice. ("Oh, it's been on for a week... other stock has moved.. my price must be too high" )

That's all I can think of right now... Thanks again for your constant and immediate responses to our inquiries. We all really appreciate participating in a "pay as you play" beta, which any feedback is obviously unread and unwanted.
