Merchant Archive

I friend playing on the same server as myself had told me about his vendor disappearing, with about 200k worth of goods on it. Upon hearing this I made sure there was 300 maint. on the vendors that a buddy and I use to sell our goods. Later my buddy informed me that one of our vendors had vanished, then another. All having still over 300 creds in the remaining vendors. I was then informed by my friend that his came back, then vanished again, etc...... We pulled everything important off our vendor due to this. Can't sell good if there are none or if there is no vendor.Anyone else notice this issue?

Hi! i had plenty of credits in my vendors and they both vanished. my friend can see them but can't access them. i can't even see them. they reappeared after the server reset(?) but then vanished again next time i logged on. i have over 100 items on them and hope they come back so i can retrieve them. i don't know what to do.

Ahhhhhhh!! Same exact thing that has happen to me twice. It reappeared early this morning (almost exactly 24 hours after it vanished). I took everything out of it. Destroyed it. Placed another vendor. Two hours ago, the new vendor disappeared. I am pretty upset. My ticket about the first vendor was never answered. I'm not expecting this ticket to be answered either. I just don't know what to do. A question for you guys: were your vendors NPCs? Both of mine were. And I have a robo bartender vendor still in my shop right now that hasn't disappeared yet. Oh and my shop is in Kaadara too...

This is starting to become a real issue.

Within the last 48 hours I know of this happening to myself and 2 other individuals. Vendors vanish fro some people and still remain for others, randomly appearing and disappearing. When they're invisible, those people who CAN see them can not get them to initialize.

In my primary store I had one vendor do this several times in a night, loaded with over 1.5M credits worth of merchandise this was scaring me quite a bit.

Another merchant in our guild lost both of her vendors tonight, and was completley unable to retrieve the inventory off of them before they vanished for good.

I hate to say it, but the vendors are becoming more anf more unreliable. Mix this with the vanishing item bug and people are going to stop using vendors to make purchases.

Well I'll kick in that I am pretty sure I had credits in my vendor but found her damaged and below maintenance. This was an empty vendor used for the planetary map and special orders and with efficiency hada listed zero cost.

I wasn't keeping records, so I didn't /bug it, but I'm almost certain something funny is going on.

I think what is going on here is that NPC maintenance is bugged at 1 credit, when you get Efficiency 2 that discount drops it to less than 1. The game rounds off to the nearest credit, and therefore shows it as 0 credits for miantenance, however the vendor will still use credit (albeit very slowly) - I put 400 credits into such a vendor on Monday Morning, and on Tuesday Night it was down to 387 (13 credits in 36 hours = 0.3 creds per hour Approx) - therefore if you leave no maintenance in there they will slowly deteriorate.

I'm having that issue since days...appearing, disappearing, appearing, disappearing, appearing, disappearing...

Yesterday when I had access again I emptied it and replaced it, maybe it helps. I'll see after BigPatch(tm)

I kind of guess that too about the rounding, but I put in 500 last week and it's down to -39.

Hmm That's a fair whack for a NPC ?? Do you have planetary listing enabled?, I don't think mine was enabled at the time..

How much stuff did you have listed on it ?? - maybe there is a slight correlation between amounts on NPC vendors and the miniscule maintenance - I probably had about 200k worth of stuff on mine.. ??

Or maybe it just does what it wants with no real pattern
