Nope. I maybe fail once out of 50 garments. But also I have upgraded so that all my stores have Advanced Clothing & Armor Stations of +42. Also my Clothing & Armor Crafting tools are +14 too. You might think about upgrading and selling off your old stuff to newbies for cheap.

Geesh, I hope that in this BigPatch 3 the vendors will not be dropping clothing into the stockroom anymore. Now with BigPatch 2 it is even worse. They go there and you cannot retrieve them because you get a glimpse of them and then the message that nothing is there. That was almost the last straw for me until I figured out a way to get them out. But my business is busy enough. I just don't have the time to be digging this stuff out on a daily basis.

Vandessa, the link is coming up dead today?

I'm also curious as to how many lots (if any) it takes up. But not very curious, because unless they lengthen the stockroom decay time to at least four days so I can take a long weekend without losing merchandise, I'm still not picking my merchant skill points back up, period.

As for checking the merchant tents I think for any of us it will be a long time out. I have an alt grinding merchant right now (yay exciting) once that one gets to Efficency 4 I'll test out tents. Hopefuly by then my mayoral powers will be high enough to helpthe alt characterplace a tent.

im not having a problem where i endlessy get critical fails unless i use a different machine... but i do seem to have odd fail statistics....

i can happily craft away for an hour or more without a single fail, then blam! 3 or 4 in a row..... then nothing for another houror so and tehn blammo, yet another 3 in a row....

I've noticed the same thing re: critical fails. I've critical failed several times in a row on something, and seem to be an unusually high crit fail rate when dealing with BE tissues, putting them into components, and then doing the final combine into a piece of clothing. That is a real killer too.

hmmm well now that they *finaly* fixed the inventory issues I can start testing with impunity again.. I'll see what I can dig up. If anyone wants to run some hard percentages on here from the live servers feel free.

I would like to know why some things have such a limited color palette. Example: Exotic Leotards...they're all synthetic cloth except for the little hide riggings that actually hold it ON you, so why sucha limited palette? Also, wookie clothing is made of lots of synth cloth, so why is their clothing so limited? Heck, this is the future...we can color leather anything we want NOW, so why is there ANY limitation to the color palette?

Not to contradict your central point (I agree we should be able to color leather anything we want, at least by Tailoring IV.), but this is the past. Depending on how you look at it, it is either 'Long ago and far away' OR it is mid/late '70s. Either way: past.

Vandessa: "Fixes were made to the the whole wearing dresses with a packpack issue. You can now equip the luxurious dress with a backpack. Haven't check a grand healers robe yet but I am asuming its been fixed too as well as the exotic leotard."

I guess that is good news but can a wookiee wear a 2 strap bandolier and a backpack?

No the bandolier does not equip with the backpack yet

Ill_Omen, yes you may have seen the icon in your crafting window...the very first time you viewed the item. I believe that's how it worked for all of us...but after that first time...kaput. I'm kinda not sure why this isn't an easy fix cause...hmm...the artwork IS there...most of us have seen it once.

Btw, Omen...ever play Gemstone? The name looks decidely familar.

Couldnt belts and bandoliers used to hold items. I seem to remember that they could. Maybe im just crazy...

If not I would like to see them hold items, that would mean more people buying them to hold more stuff.

There is an on-going request for more container types such as belts and bandoliers under tailoring wishes.
