Thread: TH speaks on the socketing issue...
why do we all need 4 sockets on every single peice of clothing. I don't have a problem with the new socketing. When you make something with 4 sockets rather then 2, you can charge more.
just my 2cents
Not a single one of my customers will buy something with less than 4 sockets. Im still getting orders but they all want to wait and see if this is fixed. Things with less than 4 sockets are not selling off my vendor at all. Its all about what people will buy and they are so used to 4 sockets being the norm, anything less is a crappy outfit to them.
Yeah, i had a customer 2 days ago asking for a set of clothing with max sockets possible..
to make Footwear, Handwear, Headwear, Jacket, Pants, Shirt with 3-4 sockets each it took my around 60tries..
such a pity i didn't have any 4-socketed stuff in my vendor left, too..
Every customer I sell to sees the item and says "It's olny gots 2 soks, do agin plz" - and the grammatically correct will spell better, but say the same thing. They want 4 sockets. ESPECIALLY on the BE clothes. My vendor is sitting nearly empty, because if I stick 1 and 2 socket items on it, I can be assured that they will be there in 30 days to be put back on.
I don't believe a word of what TH said. We got more sockets as our experimentation increased. I think they copied the armoursmith code to us, and it was their code that was broken.
FIX IT DEVS!!!! No excuses...

And when NJ had persistantly asked the dev's what was going on, there was no answer for a week, and still, they asked questions about it as if they didn't know themselves what was going on.

While I want my sockets back just on principle, I've never had a single person talk to me about socketing or reject something for it's socket numbers. It may have something to do w/ the fact that attachements that give anything other than +1 are ludicrously expensive on the trade forum, but I haven't seen much of an impact on sales so far. Of course, I am a very lazy tailor!
Thats strange. I am asked for 4 socketed clothing at least several times a day! Many of my customers won't accept anything less!
Do not listen to TH he is never right about anything. in fact since he said this you can almost bet it is wrong and it was a bug that they did not know about.
My guess is they gave us the armorsmith socklet rules but not the experementation to get it up to 4 sockets. So they need to give us experimentation or fix it back the way it was.
I am/WAS a very successful BE Tailor. Yeah.. it's a big deal. I hope you're sitting down. (well probably being that you're at your computer). My sales since this has happend have fallen off... 90% NINETY PERCENT!!!
Thanks Devs.. really!! I wanted to be forced into making a change. I mean.. it's not like this is my GAME or anything.
