1 - fix sockets!

2 - expand the 255 colors palette to all items

3 - more schematics

4 - more colors

5 - fix the necklace bug

In no order ofimportance

1. Colors such as true yellows (and flesh tones i get alot of requests from the strippers in my server for these, yes we have a strip club)


2. Color Matching Grid/numbering


3. Schematics for items already existing


4. Display items, a suggestion for this could be to have a droid modual and we get an option on the droids radial menu to display a particular item in the 'holo' sense of the movies (this would give a new item to the DE's as well as give a more immersive feeling in the world by having droids able to display stuff)


5. Necklace/Sockets issue

1-Add in a "numbering" system to our color grid to make matching easier or some way for a customer to preview an item. The idea of a droid to do this is a great one!

2-Decay: items that decay to 0/0 are still equippable with bonuses. Also, items that are repaired poorly can hit 1/1 and never decay to 0/0, and are still equippable.

3-For now, I'm pretending that the socket nerf was an accident, and will be fixed soon. If it isn't fixed soon, then this should be my number three issue for the top 5. If it's here to stay, I'd like to see it in the update notes at the startup so everyone will become aware of the change.

4-Additional schematics - both those that already exist in game and those on wish-list. These new items should expand the number of items that can be bio enhanced. Something with 2 slots for reinforced fiber panels would be great! As would new graphics instead of just the same old thing with another name.

5-Add storage for bandoliers because they occupy a backpack slot (or at least for the special schematics)

6-Expanded colors and textures on all items.

Hmm, oddly enough, my list is pretty much in "chronological order," with the old top 5 outranking the new issues:


*Decay: items that decay to 0/0 are still equippable with bonuses.
*Items that do not fit correctly: this includes boots and bandoliers
*Necklace Bug
*Expanded Colors for Wookiee clothing & boots/shoes: If we're going to ask for this one again, I think we should be clearer in requesting a full palette for all items
1. Fix vendor categories (such as skirts & wookiee wear)
2. Add storage for bandoliers because they occupy a backpack slot
3. Additional options for reinforced panels in clothing
4. Additional schematics - both those that already exist in game and those on wish-list
5. Label gender and race restricted clothing in examine window

BTW, I mildly dissent from the "full palette for all items" idea. I kinda suspect that a lot of the palette restrictions are sort of a dev attempt to be the "Bad Taste Police" for the game, and enforce a bit of "Star Warsiness" perhaps. I sort of agree with it, to a point. The SW universe, by and large, isn't one dominated by bright colors. Having Jedi types running around in bright red cloaks, or wookiees wearing neon blue clothing, just doesn't "feel" right.

That said, I think there's a lot of messed up stuff. In the case of the "Accessory" palette, I don't have a problem so much with its existence as with the fact that it sucks. And I think there should be, at a minimum:
1. at least *one* variant of every primary color in the lesser palettes, even if it's a pale version
2. at least one type of boot and glove that *does* have the full palette.

I kinda like the smallest "Leather" palette, actually (the one on Cloaks and such.)
And then there's a problem with the palettes being allocated inappropriately. But I don't really have a huge problem with the general design concept of multiple palettes per se.

wow your list is very very thourgh....

i wish they would let you actually work on the game one day and juts sit you down with the programmer and fix all the pallets...at the least they have a good action plan..if only they had the will to do it

my biggest issue now is the new schematics added ithat cant be crafted..ie the droidsmith belt....it is a heinous, sloppy, insulting mistake...

the "necklace" bug --- i have been reporting this since this time last year. it has worked off and on. there is NO excuse. what ever the company line is its BS. what is so special about the necklaces as opposed to the braclets...there is some bad code or misslinked files and its just laziness.

1 - Additional schematics - both those that already exist in game and those on wish-list

* Decay:

2 - Allow clothing that "makes sense" to be wearable together (Jackets over bodysuits & dresses, long gloves over jackets)

* Necklace Bug

3 - Label gender and race restricted clothing in examine window

4 - Expand our "standard" color palette (i.e. the one used for most clothing items)

5 - Clothing Color Pallette Displaying White as only option for color 1 or 2

Just out of curiosity...

If the Dev's are aware of the necklace problem, then why would that still be included in our top 5? Wouldn't it be redundant to continue to list it when they are fully aware its broken?

Now with the sockets all messed why should that occupy 2 of our top 5 issues if they are aware of this too?

I am beginning to think the top 5 list is useless and just a rehashing of issues that still are not fixed.

In the dancers forum, I know they try not to list some of the things that the devs are already aware of, so their top 5 list changes. I am not sure which is the better way to go.

I am angry that the sockets are messed up and NOW have to be inlcuded in our top 5 instead of new schematics. It makes me quite angry in fact.

1)New schematics that are not limited use or require rare loot drops!
* Fix the necklace preview bug.
2)Expand the color palette and/or correct the color issues on items.
3)Increase the factory crate numbers.
* Ctitical failures

I don't have many issues that aren't already stated, and generally don't like to restate things (I'm not into the 'me too' type of posts) A few issues though I feel need to be addressed.

Limited use schematics: Nice, but they suck! Not many tailors have the combat skills required to a) get the limited schematics, b) kill the npc's that drop the loot and c) have the funds to buy the rare loot and schematics. Sure, people can bring you the loot and schematics, but that cuts into any profits we could have made if it was a regular schematic we have. And not all tailors feel tne need price gouge. Not everyone aspires to be the mass distributor of clothing. I myself only do custom orders because I don't want to be tied to my factories and vendors. It's no fun to log in and feel that I MUST make X number of clothes to restock.
Necklace bug: We know the problem, fix it already please!
Factory crates: We can get some items in 50 count but others only come in 25? Would it be that difficult to make a standard number?
Critical Failures: Just remove the loss of components. I don't mind losing 20 fiberplast. but I DO hate losing factory items, or be tissues. Our componants are just as valuable to us as an architects are to them!

Ok, from your feedback I think we have 4 big issues (I haven't scientifically tallied yet, though, because that's math and I'm putting it off):

1) additional non-limited schematics (particularly items that exist as in-game art)

2) Necklace bug (gah, fix it!)

3) Expanded palettes for all items (or at the very leastre-assignment of colors to items that color incorrectly).

4) the 0/0 and 1/1 equipping issue. Maybe usage based decay - still not clear if everyone is on-board with that one, espeically since it may be tied to experimentation, something that we seem to be split on.

5) ??

Not necessarily in that order. Maybe 5 will be sockets... maybe not. Keep the votes coming!
