Tailor Archive

I've just about had enough. I'm a Master Tailor and I'm heading towards Master Merchant. And I've had it. Really. It's just one disappointment after another.

They gave us new colours. Great. Where's the yellow? Why can't I use a broader colour selection on most items?

We have a lot of items still bugged. Why after all this time? C'mon.. let us SEE the necklaces. 1 hour of one person's time and the issue is solved. There is a long list of these items, but they've all been posted before. I won't bother listing them all.

The decay issue. This is the one I can't get my head around. Without decay, we are one shot wonders. Why did I master this profession again? Do they really hate tailors at SOE? Or is it just a big cosmic joke?

I won't get into the merchant issues here, but most of you are familar with them. The big one for me right now being that last night my vendor sold nearly 100k worth of items. Not one lousy credit made it into my bank. I have expenses! /cry I've been told that after the reboot, the money might appear. I sure as heck hope so!

I bought a PA Hall for more space. Upgraded from a large house. Didn't really get much more space as the upstairs patio area can't hold items. This was going to be the BE's zoo. PA Halls only hold 250 items, they are supposed to hold more. They got hit in the patch that made houses max at 250.On the list to be fixed. Or so they say.... I still need a small house for storage. Thought, okay, not a total waste.. can use the patio as a cantina area. Noooooo.. that space is USELESS. It's an entire floor of a large building that is useless. Just who came up with that bright idea?

My inventory is bugged. For some unknown reason, since yesterday, I can only hold 28 items, although my pack still holds 50. This is very helpful as I'm trying to move from the house to the PA Hall. I hope it's fixed when the servers come back up.

Missing items, not enough storage, no decay, bugged schemantics... the list goes on and on. Part of me wants to just give up. But a lot of the time I enjoy this game. I don't know what to do. So, I'm just putting up a short post, in hopes that the devs see it. This is one paying customer (with multiple accounts) that is losing patience. I'm not ready to quit yet, but I don't know how much more I can take.

Master Tailor of Valcyn

Hang in there We all have days like thatl I keep these things in mind when I feel like you are now:

1. it's a game (though as a tailor it seems like work )

2.It's a game early in it's infancy. Yes it should have had more time in beta, but it's out here now, it still needs time.

3. If I hang in there maybe I'll get a pioneer backpack (ha that's from AO they gave away pioneer backpacks to all the accounts that started off when AO was fresh and new and crappy)

4.There are a lot of positive times of the game broken things, bad things, bugs, yucky players and all.

I also turn to my lil alt that has no cares in the world

Nalinya, I just joined you on Valcyn, as a Master Tailor. Well, maybe I did. Maybe today's bad crash and inevitable rollback means I'll have to REDO that last little bit of XP. I even got a screenshot of my 70399 XP pending 1 more XP in Tailor IV to make Master. During the time I DID have Master... I discovered I can't wear a grand healer's robe *BAH*, I can't make an 'exopitic leopard' (grin) in anything other than muted colors. Well, at least the fleshwrap has the full spectrum.

Bah, frankly this week has been VERY frustrating for me as a tailor - someone explain to me why that should be, when I just Mastered the profession (obviously with rollback, it won't be hard to get back to Master if they do decide to pound me that way too)?

I'm giving it a week or so... if things don't look up, I'm going to be the fishin'est Rodian Master Tailor on Valcyn.

Welcome to the ranks, mate. Or the way things are going, maybe I should say welcome to hell, mate.

/sigh

Master Tailor/Master Witch

Hehe 4 days ago my vendors poofed, and I cancelled my account. Then I created anothercharacter on Valcyn to play with friends (Iwasstill able to log on one day), and started looking for clothes. It took me a few hours with my newbie skills to gather a good amount of money, then I could not find what I want... Tailors were either not on/too busy, there was not what I wanted in the shops I looked, and I realized how hard it is to get clothes... So the next day when I got asked to subscribe again (I had pay for one month and yet could not log on... nice SoE), I did it, and logged back on my tailor to make sure that what happened to me won't happen to everyone if I can help it. My vendors that had poofed were back and I started restocking.

So yes the bugs are extremely frustrating, but I still enjoy it and as I have time to spare it's just a good way of spending it. The other parts of the game (shooting lairs all the time or dancing for hours) are fun for a bit but I don't seem myself doing it all the time, and I still really love the game overall. Give it some times, in 6 months the game will prolly be much better than it is now.

I've been stocking my vendors less and less. The factory bug first hit the night I made master and it's gone down hill from there. I'm hunting alot more now and realize one day soon, I will end up surrendering my master tailor title. When that happens, I'll surrender all of them at once and spare myself the thought of returning. I had alot of fun getting there but it really isn't fun anymore for me. I'll keep my skills for as long as I can, but rather than continue to be frustrated with everything and quit, I'll just move on to something else.

P.S.- New colors...yay

I for one want to see the same colour pallette for all parts of all items. Players are very picky and choosy and often are seeking a certain coloured item to complete their outfit. I can't tell you how many sales Ive lost because certain boots won't go a deep blue but instead that washed out baby blue. give us a hand here, devs, we really need to set the carfting experimentation droids on overdrive to figure out futuristic ways of colouring leather. Oh yes...and please add a radial feature to equipped cloaks called ''HOOD UP / DOWN). its embarassing to wear thet cloak and somehow not be able to reach back and draw the hood
