Thread: Am I the only unlucky person around?

So I was about to start yet another run of synthetic cloths and trims (im sure every tailor can relate to why). And then I thought, I have a house almost full why? So I go to my house and look in a bag named Crates. Low and behold I have trim, cloth, panels, fasteners, etc... and then on the flooor I have more. So I decide to become organized.


I create backpacks and name them accordingly. I drop the bags in the house along the wall and put the crates in the bag according to name. My house starts to get full and so I go into my other house and drop off reinforced fiberplast panels which I have a ton of and dont use. I make about 3 or 4 trips moving junk I have clothes and armor etc. I go back to the original house and see I can place about 50 more items... So I go to my factories and unload my BE cloths and 7 crates of Armorwaeve segments and place them in the house. And I go back to my factory for my last trip of cloths. Empty it out and head back to my house that I organized... GUESS WHAT!


I walk in and everything is unpacked and set back to the way it was. All the crates are back on the floor and and the backpacks have disappeared. I go back to my other house to see if the stuff I put in there was gone or if it stayed. Well the crates were back in the backpack but my resources were gone form the house. There were some on the floor and I moved them to my first house. But they didnt return. My first run from my factory , the ones that included The BE cloths... GONE!

What is going on? I lost about 30 minutes of time and very expensive resources and crates... the rare ones to make BH backapcks and the gemstones that make the special noble twileck hats! I sent in a CSR ticket, but honestly WHY? How is it possible for 30 minutes to go by and everything just go on reset as I walk through a door?


VERY UPSET,

Happened to me too... They reappeared either a few hours later or the day after.

it's just crappy house/server lag/synch/monkeycoding issues. When I get things like this happen I just stop playing around with items in my houseses and wait till the next day to continue (by then everything goes to where it should be).


I've had things happen where I put stuff down on the floor, go outside to work on the factory, or scan resources, whatever. Then when I come back the items I had put on the floor are gone and the house is back to the way it was before. I just shake my head and avoid mucking around with the house/items anymore (I stock vendors/craft/otherstuff) till it's fixed the next day.

"Don't Panic" is my Number One rule in cases like this. In my limited experience with bugs of this general class, the items have almost never *actually* disappeared, and things generally right themselves. The biggest source of problems always seems to be when the player overeacts and does something extreme that exacerbates the problem (like redeeding houses and the like), and becomes really hard to recover from.

One or more of the following usually work OK for me when there's some weird item problem:
1. /logout
2. Go out, run around and shoot things for a while, then come back.
3. Wait for the next server reset.

yeah, it's when you tinker furthur that problems happen. Those items you put on the vendor, which then started acting funny and reporting that it had no items, are NEVER going to reappear if youdeletethat vendor and put a new one down.


If you add a bunch of stuff to a backpack, which then shows a minute later as empty, well they'll probably reappear in the backpack later if you leave it alone. If you pick the backpack up and put it down and take it to town with you, well who knows if the items will be able to find their way home when the server remembers they're supposed to be there.


Server: hmm... I just found these items I lost, I better go put em back. WHAT?!?!?! the place where they belong is altered/missing! What will I do now?!?!?! Oh well, I guess I'll justdelete them.

When exactly are you supposed to log back in? Before or after #2? LOL
