Tailor Archive

I've forwarded this note to Tiggs, JFreeman, GreenMarine, and ThunderHeart, andI feel bad about it too. I know they get 100s of 1000s of messages and beg us not to PM them but this is the last line. We, the Tailors have been stuck in a DEAD PROFESSION, yes, the inability to insert BE Tissues into clothing IS a PROFESSION KILLER.

Wow, BE clothing is that big of a deal?

I've been a tailor for a year now and have never made a single piece of BE clothing, nor had any desire to go into that business. Regular clothing sells very well for me, I wouldn't call the problem "profession ending."

Sure, it needs to be fixed, I support that 100%, if only because I believe all non-combat professions are needing MAJOR attention. Not only new content, but what is broken needs to be fixed.

They're working on it

YAY! ... I'm glad SOMEONE posted about that (and today of all days, a day after my rant, sorry for the rant, I really dont like to do that but we had heard NOTHING so YAY! Cheers for JFreeman for the post. NJ62 Linked the thread he posted on, but heres what he said (Dev's for the win ... this time

I'll sign!

Er, what I mean is: We're aware of the situation and the importance of fixing this. This has turned-out to be a more difficult bug to fix than we'd hoped, living deep within the crafting system.

So, it's going to take a bit more time, but not because we don't think it's important. Just because it's a really tough nut to crack, this bug.

Ive been refusing to craft since they broke it. Im guessing that if it was something to do with jedi that they broke, it would be hotfixed within 24 hours

I'd say broken mods in clothes affects Jedi quite a bit. I'm guessing you're not familiar with the current state of Jedi, I guarantee you nothing gets patched immediately there. I'd suggest going over to the Jedi forum to find the lists of broken stuff, but I wouldn't recommend going to the Jedi forum to my worst enemy.

Let me explain ... I'm a BE/Tailor ... I make BE tissues to make BE clothing, of which the cost of a shirt (around 6k) vs the cost of ab BE shirt (around 25 - 75k depending on tissues used) .... id say thats alot more than 50% of my income ... woundn't you? When 100 sales @ 25k is 2.5 mill vs 100 sales @ 6k = 600k? Im not a pet BE, I do craft SOME food additives, but the demand isnt as high as it was pre CU. Not to argure, just, thats my delima so it kinda is profession breaking to me. I'd go Chef/BE but my wife loves tailor. Anywho ... we got an answer, they are working on it, I'm satisfied ... for a week or so.. maybe ^ ^ ... Just hurry =)

Yea, I also have a tailor/be,I was also satisfied with the answer that they are working on it.........I thought it would only be a week or two, I guess those were too high ofhopes because its been about a month since i sent in my ticket. This is a big deal to me because this is my money maker. I used the BE only to craft tissues for my tailor to use. I originally thought it was a factory issue, because my first impact from this was when i ran a whole factory run of synthetic cloth with tissues, the factory ate all the tissues and the SC had no mods, I guess i hadnt noticed when i made the schematic. Anyway, this will kill both my characters templates if i cannot do anything with the tissues but look at them.

Devs....Please help both professions, this isnt just a personal plea, there are so many people just waiting to put in orders for their clothes with mods.

Omg I cant believe another fellow tailor wouldnt be upset that the ability to craft BE clothes has been broke for over a month with no sign of it being fixed. My master tailor is my third alt and its a major problem for me let alone if it was my only toon like some people. I like many others spent a lot of time and money to get the BE enhancments to make the clothes and have guildmates and customers that mostly want BE clothes. Furthermore I have very little money coming in. But its no wonder they arnt going to fix it any time soon when we get other tailors posting that its no big deal.

I've only very rarely made BE clothes, and no, I don't think that them being broken is a big deal to me.

With that said, yes I want it to be fixed, but posting here and flaming others sure won't get it fixed faster (or slower for that matter).

I made plenty of BE clothes, by custom order.
Have had to tell quite a lot of people recently that I am sorry that I cannot help them

THankfully, BE is not my only clothes sales line.

Many of us who play these games have some smidgen of programming experience (myself included) and one reason we are understanding about the time this is taking is that we have dealt with the odd bug that crops up when a line or five of code is altered.

I wish they had reverted whatever it was they tweaked. The day before the bug I spent 2 million on tissues... luckily I havent used them yet. But I have read the boards and some of our fellowship were not so lucky, they lost a lot of credits and time due to this.

The recent answer to everything has been double experience as a salve to ease the players itch.... (which has been useless to me since I am already Master Tailor and have a completed character template) - it would be nice if they could/would recompense us in some way for our lost revenue. Not that I expect it, but nevertheless, it would be nice.

That said - I want this fixed ASAP - and yes!!! a month is too long to wait. However, we are still waiting....
