Tailor Archive

Yeah, this all sounds great, but keep in mind, everything has to look right.

If I am out battling alongside a Jedi and a droid, some fool in a shiny leather trenchcoat and cowboy hat is going to look a little out of place, isn't he?

Imagine everything you mention being used in the worst way possible, and that's how it will be used.

Capes are good- Lando (bless his soul) wears capes. Boba Fett wears a tiny baby cape. That makes sense.

But some other stuff makes no sense. My motto regarding clothing is:

"If I haven't seen it in any of the movies, it shouldn't exist."

A little harsh, I know.

And it would require all Wookies to strip down to their bandoliers.

Oh well.

I was getting tired of "Make me look like Neo" orders already. And you want to add this?

*laugh* Yeah, what I like about current clothing is that it departs enough from reality so the overall feel of the game remains that much distinct from what we see in real life...

While I imagine it's rather difficult to come up with attractive attire that doesn't look too much like real stuff, things like cowboy hats are a little too closely associated with non-Star Wars genres, I think.

Could you addthe ability to gathermilk to the list please for biotailors.

Why do you want clothings to decay ? I'd have yet to see a decline in clothing sales. People want a certain item in a certain color and it's ten times easier to get it from a tailor instead of looking through tons of bazaars or shout on the streets.
The other important item is that if you make the clothing decay work it will kill the skilltapes, which will make them worthless and tailors not very popular with the crowd if we're the one perceived to have pushed for this.

Just my thoughts

I'd like to see a GUI change where the customer can see what you're crafting before having to create it. similar to how the Image Design window works. This may have been mentioned elsewhere but i didn't see it. Would certainly cut down on the "can yo make it a little lighter?" headache. Would also bring back more of the one on one interaction that RP is supposed to generate. All i do now is stock a vendor and get emails for black cloaks or jackets.

Choose Colours Before Crafting Item

I've always thought it would be better if we could choose the colours of the items we craft before actually assembling them. Its annoying when you craft something, only to be presented with a foul collection of colours. In my case, these usually end up being practise items.

The more I think about it, the more I think this would be a very nice, easy addition to our profession:

The Infiltrator Suit, which can be worn under some peices of armor and looks good male or female, takes 6 identical peices of RFP. Break that into 3 and 3, and we have ONE peice of clothing we can stack BE stuff in. I know a +bleed and +camo Infiltrator suit would really sell well. And it would still be rather costly for us, with wasting 4 BE tissues.

There are other things I would like to see stackable with RFP, but that one seems the most obvious.

I'd rather like to be able to craft all that neat stuff that NPCs get to wear (and occasionally drop). You know, like the Vest. There's something very wrong when newbies are spawning with an item of clothing that I, a Master Tailor, can't craft.

I am not much on reading all the postsbut here are my wishes for Tailoring. I am sure these have been mentioned.

1. First off I would love that clothes actually were destroyed (or at least unequipable) when completely detoriated. Or maybe a count down before it is unequipable. Like say two hours. Maybe even proctective garment bags that hold 5 or 10 items, that will not decay when you clone.

2. I saw a post that wanted clothes coloring ability to be dependant on experimentation. How about a new item and subsequent component to add to the clothing creation screen. What I mean is a unit of dye to be added as a requirement to the garment. The experimentation success of the Dye would dictate color availability.

3. On the subject of colors, how about actually assigning to the garment that is produced and the colors themselves names or numbers. Maybe the HTML code for each color. That would take away alot of guess work in this profession and would save time and money for the players, and valuable server space by not having so many objects that peeps just hope to sell.

Camouflage Addition to Clothing

Basic idea is that clothing could have a stat built in to different colors. An example is the 4th tier of green would be camouflage colors for Rori. Clothing of the appropriate colors on the appropriate planet lowers the range at which players can see enemies on the radar. So a full set of clothing would lower the range of radar to a max of 10 meters. So no dots appear until 10 meters but you can still see a person if in view, but if they are hiding behind a tree or over a hill you would not see them on radar until you get within the 10 meter range.

Tatooine - Set of brown colors denoted with a T in them.

Rori - Set of green colors denoted with a R in them.

And so on for colors appropriate to planets.

Someone suggested I add this to the wishlist a long time ago and I'm only now remembering to do it:

As a female Twi'Lek, I'd love to see more ways to decorate my lekku. I definitely feel naked without a wrap, a crest or a fancy headdress now. My lekku are just such an important part of me that I want as many options for them as possible.

Ideas I have include:

• Lekku jewelry: a delicate chain (like a thin necklace chain) either simple and plain or with gems, jewels, ornaments, or little tiny hanging charms - that fits the lekku the way the gorgeous wraps we have now do (OMG the lekku wraps are so gorgeous, aren't they?)
  
• Lekku Wraps that allow the Lekku to be in other positions (right now wraps force the lekku to the position with both lekku on the back)
  
• More Lekku Wraps in general - wider wrap materials, thinner wrap materials, perhaps a different style/pattern of wrap? Going out on a limb here, I love flowers too, so if theres anyway something flowery and not too silly is possible I'd be thrilled. Other ideas include making the wrap edges different styles, more elaborate or decorated. The wraps are my favorite of all the clothing in the game, so I'd love more options.
  
• Lekku coverings : this is hard to describe, but I think some short of sheer, veil type accessory that adorned the lekku would be exotic and extremely useful for Dancers, and probably other Twi'Leks...I'm thinking something that matches the sheer Bikini pants style, maybe a persian look?
  
• Lekku crests with more customizations so that they can be more individual
  
• Options on things like the Grand Healers Robe that allow the lekku to fit with the hood more naturally. I'm not sure how this would work, but I just don't feel the GHR is doing my lekku justice right now. Any ideas??
  
• Arm/foot wraps to match the Lekku Wraps: anyone else think some kind of glove type thing that matches the lekku wrap would be sexy/beautiful/functional? I've seen sandals with ribbons that lace up the lower leg and I'm pretty sure I've seen gloves too.
  
• Any more fancy headdress type accessories would be amazing. The ones we have are so intricate and gorgeous!!!
  

Well, I'm not trying to steal the attention away from other species here at all. They all deserve beautiful wonderful things to decorate thier bodys with too. I just wanted to get in my .05cr.
