Hiya!

So I read the enhancement thread here and found it useful I guess. I figured krayt tissue and hfvm's are out of my league, I'm not rich. So I scrolled down to somethign I can BUY and make, since obtaining any of these items is humiliating impossible for a crafter type alone.

Glop grenades w/ Kliknik and the new dispersal seemed to be the THING! I got excited, bought 30 Kliknik glands. Combined everything, components were perfect.. Maybe got one Mod on the successes, on the botches I got 2 or more Mods, these I gave away. So I'm happy, I have 20 some Klik Glops to hawk. I put them on the bazaar, 2k credits seemed like an honest enough price, hell Commandos are rich anyway. Well 2.1k,I put them on premium instant and charge the consumer.

I'm at the point where I have just 2-3 days left on ALL the instants. I only have 7d sales. Not ONE klik Glop sold, NOT ONE!!! I'm gonna take a hit.. but next week I'll have to put them for sale for 1.1k.. It cost me 3k to buy the freaking klik glands/ea..

Does anyone at SWG relize just how much crafting and the bazaar is broken?

When you spend so much time, forging a really good product that requires 3-4 subproducts and aloot drop, to have itNOT sell. But no one buys them because they utterly suck in the end. Sure I stuffed alot of pts into damage and not much into accuracy,don't know what else to do...

I'm disappointed, thanks for listening to my pleas. I doubt anyone is tho.

So I'm taking Kliknik Glops off my menu along with Tusken Rifles, all the mines, rocket launchers, stocks, Cleavers, E11s, lasers, nonAP pistols, AP polearms, Rykks, stun batons, etc.. The list goes on and on. Other masters, do whatever you want.. I don't care, I'm not competing with you. I'm just trying to make good weapons and turn somekind of profit in the process.

Oar, the frustrated weaponsmith, with nothing justifiable to do, but sample until the subscription runs out. More bandwidth for ya!

Oar,

Don't panic, you can retrieve your items.

Go to a bazaar terminal in the same city where you posted your glop grenades.

Open the terminal and click 'My Sales'. Cancel the sales for your items.

Click on 'Available Items', your canceled sale items should be there. Retrieve them like any other item.

You can repost them for a 20cr fee per item.

Put a blurb under item description (lower RH corner) explaining why your bombs are da' bomb and repost them in the bazaar. Be creative, be funny, it will help you sell them. I am a Doctor who sells StimBs this way.

Rebind Shift-Ctrl-C as Copy and Shift-Ctrl-V as Paste, and you only have to write it once.

The bazaar is broken how? Because the Glops didn't sell? 2k for a single glop is pretty expensive and I've found that almost nobody wants to buy single stacks if they're getting grenades. They want crates of them.

I've posted before and I'll say it again - Klikniks in their current state are worthless. Unless they up them to 100min-400max on the dmg, NOBODY will want those. Sure, the first time they see they can enhance a grenade they'll do the same thing you did and think it's cool, but after they see how little they actually helped, they won't return for more.

Glops themselves do NOT suck for Commandos who like grenades. Paying a premium for them because they're 'enhanced' is what would suck.

Well, I can sell Rocket Launchers and mines all day. I had someone come in and clear me out of a whole factory run of XG mines in one shot. He was Imperial and I should have screwed him over by banning him from my shop right after he purchased them all and just before he retrieved them, but that's another story

I sure enjoyed blowing mystock of OQ 980 steel on these useless Klik Glops, I'm sure you will too.

Even if you made 100 of these glops - which I highly doubt - you wouldn't come close to blowing a stock of anything unless your stock consisted of approximately 2k resources. That being said too, if you only looked at OQ and not a combination of OQ/SR then perhaps Shinte is correct about your weaponsmithing skills.

Here's a hint at future Munition Crafting... Don't use your absolute best resources for them. A couple points missing out of 1300+ dmg is not going to be noticed. Save that good stuff for power-ups or ranged weapons.

I can't comment or Logix friends the Moderators will ban me. I teeter close to that edge with every post I make.

But I will say this.

I can't believe I pay someone to call me a troll, when I raise a valid point. Irregardless of my tone, writing skills or attitude, some people will always follow the herd.

I wasn't impressed with your credentials when you got the position of correspondent, Logix.. I'm not now either. Your 5 word post in this thread, which I started, just strengthens my camp.

Actually, you don't. You pay to play SWG. Notice you have to sign up for the forums and it's not an automatic right to post in here unless you do? Posting in SWG Forums is free...

You've still got a grudge against someone, that much is obvious. I suggest you just stop playing the game- or at least stop playing as a WS - if all it does is upset you so.

Chong wronged me. He put his prose in with mine and colored ityellow the color of a certain bodily fluid. It disturbs meso I said so. Wasn't any of your business anyway. Stay on topic.

---

Orange and yellow are the same color for you? If your bodily fluidsare the color of Chong's reply text, you've got bigger problems than grenades you can't sell.

I apologize for trying to make sense and very much appreciate you completely misinterpreting every point of my post, especially so rudely.

Too much Vitamin B I'm assuming. Cut down on that and it'll be back to a normal color

Logix is just a player like us who volunteered to compile issues and get flamed on a daily basis.
