Last nite I began updating and detailing my inventory, in preperation for my upcoming Grand Opening. As I went through the weapons vendor I noticed several things missing, so out comes the old inventory sheet and VIOLA....everything I loaded on when I 1st moved on joining my new PA 30 days ago has vanished. About 65 items that I had on the Weapons Vendor, and furniture from my Deeds & Furniture Vendor, and this does not include my Dantooine Vendors. I have no idea what furniture is missing, I do that when I have a few free minutes and spare resources, so it wasn't detailed. I submitted a ticket, and this morning got a reply that there is a known issue with vendors, there is no way to compensate yada yada yada...

Occurs on items over 30 days, so it looks like the bug we had with vendors is still with us, and SOE is doing a bang up job on fixing it ie. We Fixed The BIg Problem, But The Problem Still Exists.

I'm not sure what bug you are reporting. Items are on sale for 30 days. They then go to the stock room for 7 days and are deleted after that.

Uhm...that's what is suppose to happen, and I agree. But it seems that does not happen, at least all the time. I have 5 Vendors, on 2 planets, on 1 server. I haveretrieved items that expired from the store room, and put them back up for sale, from the 2 affected Vendors, so it is not a universal problem. In fact, I wouldn't have even noticed it if I hadn't opened & started getting stats from various items to post here, only to notice entire groups of items (in my case, all the Laser Rifles, & FWG's, all loaded at the same time after a factory run) had vanished. It was as I was comparing the items that vanished that I noticed the simularity in items loaded at the same time vanishing together. And I'm not certain if it is the 30 day bug, thats just what I was told. It could very well be a lost libray header in the Vendor db, making my case an isolated file corruption issue.

I didn't take a huge hit. I'm an Architect/WS/Merchant, so I can afford the loss & not get all worked up. I just wanted to make folks aware, so they can keep an eye out. If I"m an isolated case, sala vi! But if it becomes noticeable, we may need to start yelling to avoid the disaster of the last Vendor bug.

I don't mean to insult your intelligence, but did you make sure you had the "all" button clicked while in the stockroom. often it "unclicks" and will lead you to believe you have no inventory.

Ok..I'm not getting my mind around this are you saying that items are vanishing from the for sale window without going into the stock room for 7 days? Are they goint into the stock room at all? Or we don't know? Did you get a sales expiration notice on them?

Just trying to figure out what we should be looking for.

To be honest, I'm not sure. I know the following

1) Items did not go to the stockroom, ever. I check regional & galaxy wide ever night for stockroom items& offers made.

2) I recieved no sales expiration notice.

3) Lost weapon items were all loaded within a45 minute interval, all on the same day. (I have no idea on the furniture items)

4) Reply to ticket was (paraphrasing, I'm at work, not at home) "There are some known issues with items vanishing off vendors after the 30 day interval. SOE has no way ofverifing if these items were sold, or lost. We apologize for the inconvienience. Thank you for playing Star Wars Galaxies. Don't forget to delete this ticket".

I know details are not exactly overflowing here, and I apologize. I am not trying to scream the sky is falling, but rather to attempt to advise others, and troll (I can't think of another word for it) the boards & see if I am a victim of an isolated incident, or if there is a broader problem. I posted this on the Architect, Weaponsmith, Merchant and on my server boards,using the exact same words. I am also trolling on the craft boards poking around. So far, in the last hour, I have only seen one other simular complaint. I am hoping that it was/is a corruption issue, making it an isolated incident. The reason I am posting is because of the response "known issue", for something we all assumed was corrected.

We certainly haven't heard much about it so it isn't widespread yet. I'll follow up as best I can to see if I can get any more information about it.

Thanks for taking the time to detail it for us.

At least for me, at least for the moment, things seem to be working as designed. I just had some launcher pistols hit the stockroom after the 30 day sale period expired and everything seems to be okay for the moment.

I think I may have a bugged Vendor

Notice I was writing a detailed inventory, including damage, speed etc. so I had seen and logged details about things and added them to my spreadsheet the night before last. Last nite a customer complained I had no C12 grenades. I checked my S/S and they were on the night before (14 cases). I jumped on my scooter & ran over & sure enough, those were gone. I threw the usual tantrum, but reading here I seem to be a relatively isolated case. I'll log on tonite & create a new Vendor & test my theory.

Details to follow.

missing inventory happened to me from repricing an item. what i mean from that was i took out the item completly and added it back to the vendor. next day I checked my vendor those items were missing.

*** Mar 31, 2004 Test Center Update #2***

AI pathfinding: AI will now avoid structures such as harvesters and large rock formations when trying to close in on a target in combat. In cases where the AI still gets stuck in this situation, AI will now warp to the desired location after getting stuck for several seconds.

Here we go again... I do hope that this one is not the same thing that nearly made me give up Rifleman aeons ago...

it depends on if they avoid the obstructions like they are supposed to or if they just warp right on top of you

for horrible typing
