Thread: Merchants & crafters
Due to the NERF that is proposed on the vendors and the rather big setbacks this is going to give most crafting players I have started to make a silmple fastloadning web page with pics of the craftable items in SWG.
But i'm not going master Every darn profession that has something to craft, reason for this is vendor nerf is going to be here LONG before i would have a chance to go over all the crafting professions and i'm real happy where I am right now.
Thats why i'm asking those who are willing and able to help get this web up as a referance web for the items that can be crafted by any profession.
peliminary results on the web are good and we have allready got 4 professions down with the pictures that are needed, though the croping of all the pics are killing me lol.
URL to the web page is
www.viul.no/swg.htm
it's not going to be big on background pictures and pictures all around couse thats not the point of the web thats under construction.
It's to be fast accesable and fast loading with out much mumbo jumbo around it.
those who help out will be given credit for there contribution, as the saying goes, give credit where credit is due.
so everybody that can craft anything, no matter how little / stupid /insegnificant it might seem please help us out.
Where not looking to make detail info on everyitem as they have done a superb job with on http://www.swgcraft.comand they have my respects for making such a solid database.
take a look at http://www.viul.no/test.jpg thats the kind of picture thats needed.
this due to a craftable items sheet that is also under construction, and other ideas that are under works.
NB.
I know my spelling ain't all god, but thats usualy the case with ppl who got dyslexia /wink
Ya know I read this same post in another forum. And I still dont have any idea why yousaid "Due to the Nerf" you arecreating a web page with craftable items. Thats like me saying "Due to FWG5 nerf Im making a web page of all blue clothing". See It doesnt make sense?
If your putting together a page of pics of all the craftable items, that is great. It is hard work, time consuming andvery commendable. I just didnt get the "due to the nerf part".

If I had to guess I would say the point was that you won't have the room to offer all of your items so you should display them on a web page and have custom orders?
I think there are probably easier ways to do this in game though with show rooms and stuff. Web pages are nice for quick references but people buying stuff in game want to go and find it in game not look it up on the web and wait for it.
ok i'll give take some self critisism here, not allways that good with geting a "fair" or more accurate topic but hey.
I personaly have all the room i need to show of the stuff that craft myself so that ain't a bit issue for me, but then again there might be more that a few out there who ain't that fortunate.
base idea for this web, at least for me was make it a bit more easy for the potential customer to make out his or hers order on what type of furniture they wanted.
but since DEV now have given us merchants (those of us who have that profession) another kick in the rear end with this vendor nerf that they are sudgesting (Item cap of 150 items pr vendor) it's still going to short down on what will be offered on anny given vendor.
this again let's just for the sake of argument use a AS and a Tailor as an exsample,
tailer hos just about 250 items that are craftable to that profession ok...thats 2 vendors just there just to have 1 of each item in the vendor
max vendor you can ever get ingame is 6 so thats then 150 *6 = 900 items
tailor has what....7-10 difirent colors and stuff they can use on there craftable items. just for the sake of argument say 7
250 craftable items * 7 difirent colors pr item = 1050 (vendor lots) needed just to show of 1 of each type....
basicly there trying to show the merchant / crafters down the drain couse they (the DEVS) made a grand little holo drop on the holodays. getting us a 60 % hologrind population (well at least on bria) wich again prodused stuff wich in turn there database could not handle.
so in stead of trying to upgrade the database for (vendor sales) and lots of other stuff that we don't even know the half of they have decided to NERF the merchant professions with the vendor NERF, (check in development forums was on the top last time i was in there)
but back to the main reason for this page is simply to be able to show of whats craftable in SWG, half way as a show room for those who not yet gotten all that they need to make a complet showroom / display room for there weares =)
ps. master tailor pics now added.
