Merchant Archive

I just trained for Advertising III. I am supposed to be able to show up on the planetary map as a weapons dealer. I registered my vendor and it shows correctly on the overhead map ( cntrl + m ). However, it does not show up with a waypoint when i search for weapons vendors. Does it take a while for it to start working or do i have to get another skill set in order for this to work?

Thanks

Another bugged merchant feature. It should show up on the planetary map within minutes of registering. (At least mine does on Bloodfin) However, every day when I log in I have to un-register and re-register the vendor to get it to show up. I don't really know how long it stays listed, but I know that it's another daily chore on the vendor management list.

You sure you lookin in the right place? There are several vendors listed on my planet.... it lists in the ctrl-v map under vendors....

The /find feature for finding player merchants is bugged, but the map is not.

Well, to a point the map part of it isn't bugged, but I have posted before and other have ran into the same problem: Over time, our vendors eventually disappear off the map. They still think they are registered and they still charge like they are, but you have to unregister and reregister them to get them to appear on the map. This problem usually happens after server reboots. Something to look out for...

Seems like on server reboots vendors laod differnt then when you first set them up.

When you firts set up a vendor its name is white Like a quest mob you run across while advenrtiung. After a server reset thier name becomes Yellow and they have HAM bars and are attackable.. Also Ad barking and Plantary map aspects have to be re-done.

Could be that the game loads it as an NPC. slaps the ad code on it and then the vendor code.. but because of the order teh code is stacking isnt registeirng I Dont know.

They need to get NPC vendors to load as vendors not as NPC's that are attackable as well. and they need to Make sure that ad barking and plantary ad campain is activated once the vendors are loaded.

Also woul dlove it if they fix Advertisng 2 so we can actually custmize a greeting. and mabey a slider on how far away they will speak thier line. this way I could put one just outside certian rooms and they could speak as they are approched but wont be triggered form all kinds of wierd parts of the house.
