Tailor Archive

Okay, necklaces are fixed... decay is coming... so what are our priorities. A bit has changed since the top 5 in April and I want to make sure I'm harassing the devs about our TOP issues at this point.

These are the top issues as I see them...

1) Leia's slave skirt

2) Hooded Cloak

3) Sockets

4) Additional colors/red boots

5) New addition: lousy payouts on those missions/quests

6) Advance warning for any changes that happen in the merchant revamp (hey they affect us too!)

EDITED LIST

1) Colors

2) New Schems

3) BE stuff (non combat related)

4) Sockets

5) OMGWTH THE VENDOR LIMITS LOLZ

But you don't have to AGREE with me, and I've possibly left something out! Go ahead and list your top issues. (Don't worry about combat-related changes, as I'll be compiling those separately from the "summit" thread and presenting them at the summit.)

No. 1 in my book is palettes that match! No one likes to give their customers mis-matched outfits, and then have to give the ever-present excuse about the palettes! Also, having brighter colors to match peoples hair would be an added bonus.

Inform the devs that I'd be willing to commit first degree murder for a Full CMYK or RGB palette

1) Full Pallets on everything +yellow that ID's got
2) Leia Slave Skirt
3) Socket improvement
4) More BE Tissues in more items

Hooded cloaks, even though would be nice to have, I don't see as a high enough priority to pull the art team off JTL.

The crafter quests, as Arthur said in another post, is a lose-lose proposition. Increase the xp gained, all you've done is substituted grind macro with grind npc. Increase money payout, then you fubar the economy, novice crafters still grind, and you still haven't fixed the situation they were aiming for.

Oh yeah, BE mods is definitely on the list, but it's under the rubric of combat balance. I suspect we'll be getting a lot of attention on that front in Austin.

Are you suggesting, however, non combat related tissues? If so, what would be your top choices?

So I'm getting from this that our top issues are really

1) Colors

2) BE stuff

3) Schematics (Skirt!)

4) Sockets


But that's using fuzzy math. This is only a small sample, keep goin y'all

I'd like to see schematics with more than one Reinforced fiber panel, so we can stack BE enhancements on field gear.

BE enhancements for more defenses - vs. poison? disease? Call'em "Passive/Active Bio-Filters"

Along that line, if schematics won't take more than one RFP, how about making it so the BE tissues actually stack? ie: a shirt that requires two identical synth cloths for one slot could get +25 wound healing, instead of having to use double the tissues for double the slots

This is a little closer for me. I would go with colors as #1. Then new schematics as #2 (first and foremost for those things that are already in the game but not currently craftable, then perhaps for some new ones as well). #3 would be an improvement in socket production based on increased level or at least some more control over it (and I don't know about anyone else, but I still think this has already been tweaked in one of the last patches). I'd go for increased utilization of RFP BE components in existing schematics and maybe some new BE tissues as well for #4 (though it's tiring carrying around all my tailoring components as it is - I don't think I want 20 more new ones to have to keep onhand. ).

As far as the new crafting missions, I haven't even figured out where they are yet, but it sounds to me like they are intended as an alternative to just practice grinding. I get the feeling it's working as intended so I don't know if we should push for a change in this system. What we could push for is a different form of crafting mission - or better yet, in my mind, some kind of integrated, multi-profession type of mission. I'm not sure I would find much replayability or fun in some kind of mission like, take this schematic for a wedding dress, make it, and go deliver it to X. Even less if it is something like, make a factory run of this schematic and give to Y. What I do think might be cool is some kind of complex mission where whoever takes it has to take on a certain 'look' or disguise to complete it - like a spy mission. You might have to get some ID work done, have some special clothes made, maybe even have some armor pieces or a weapon made. You could even be required to bring some kind of crafted item or find a resource or something. Then you have to go meet someone and maybe say the right thing or do something for them to get the info you need or whatever. It doesn't have to be all those elements at once, but some combination of them. That could be a fun type of mission.

As far as other top issues, I would say necklace bug! necklace bug! necklace bug! --- Oh wait - they fixed that one. Sorry - just so used to asking for it. Other things? Oh, how about skill tapes? Something about making them easier to get or allowing us to remove them - even if there is some 'damage' assigned to it. People are gonna be ticked if their uber +25 clothes no longer work, and they're gonna blame us for it. If these things are gonna wear out, I think something needs to be put in place to make up for it so make that #5 for me.

There are other lesser things I could think of, but that's probably good for now.
