Server's up. Stuff isn't stacked; doesn't stack.


But it's early, I realize I don't have all the info and it may be me doing something or not doing something.


I was just hoping that my guild hall would have 3 items in it instead of 399

Alright this is a step in the right direction.


But, 600+ simple toolkits I already have or 0-5 simple toolkits I'll loot this month? Hmm.....


Also, after the second update for pub 22, the newly salvaged items still don't stack.

Ya it's not working. Unfortunately I don't think there will be any more devs left to code once the xp deprived player mobs get thru with them

Newly salvaged components are now stacking, at least on Bria. Which means I can actually sit down and salvage the rest of my AUK's and WUK's without worry.

I thought the NGE couldn't be any worse than the CU, but I was wrong.

What about putting in trade in NPC's or trade in kits that we can use to convert existing items into stackable ones? I'd gladly take that than all the trouble a database conversion would bring you.



PS- Thanks for addressing this.

"Jedi claims of being "broken" are like saying "But my TV isn't widescreen! It's broken! My TV can't show high-def pictures in 1080i, it can only do 720i! It's broken!" Meanwhile, crafters are saying "We'd really like to have a TV that's larger than 12" and gets more than 4 channels and doesn't constantly lose vertical control", and entertainers are saying "Can we get some color instead of this B&W piece of junk?" And smugglers? We're listening to radio programs of "The Shadow" and "The Abbot and Costello Comedy Hour" and hearing FDR's Fireside Chats. We don't even HAVE a damn TV, much less a broken one or a "broken" one by Jedi standards. I'd LOVE to be as "broken" as they are." - The Legendary Solo4114

Yeah this really needs to be addressed for pre-22 slicing loot. I have atleast 100slicing toolsin my house that are taking up all of my space. It's even tougher being a Master Smuggler/Armorsmith. I have 2 houses. One full with resources, the other slicing loot and resources. All other lots are spent in factories and harvies.

Awesome! This is encouraging news - I'm unaccustomed to seeing direct communication like this. I'll hold you to it- if you can come up with a good solution forthe thousands of slicing tools I'm dealing with, both my accounts will be better off for it.

On valcyn I've been doing BH missions and have freshly looted 10 mando interframes. In my inventory I have:

1 stack of 4 frames

2 stacks of 2 frames

2 single frames

I cant make them stack, or seperate the ones that are stacked.

Well, Bria WAS down for a long, long time... and it seems that it might have went down again. The newly converted stuff was stacking, maybe not right away but it you put them in a bag or shifted around your inventory they would just fine. I now have a stack of over 100 simples, and some other higher up stuff I got from salvaging. I had one box that converted quite nicely, including several shock absorbant paddings. I also did a slice on a weapon I bought, and sure enough it only used one out of the whole stack. It didn't eat the whole stack like some were worried it would, so I might start buying comps and start slicing. Now I just have to come up with a price list.


So in other words, if you are having problems getting new stuff to stack, drop them in a cargo pouch or something. Worked for me.

Do they unstack as well? If I don't use one, can I split a stack into 10's to put on a vendor, or is it like the Kashyyyk loot, once it stacks there is no unstacking?

There was no unstack option. I just had to drop the stack in my inventory, then slice, then drop it back into my "slicing comps" bag. So if you want to sell them in small stacks, I guess use a bag to stack them then put them on the vendor before you drop more in.
