Vender Level Tags

[bubblehead]

I was wondering if it is possible to put a level on the booth of the vender. I realize the it is in the dialog when you talk to the venders. Just seems it would make it a little easier to find the vender you needed.

That would be a nice thing to do .......... BUT " it was not like that in LIVE " so it might ot happen here .

[MrMichaels]

or change the name of the vendors - make the first name "sound" like the level of items

Ono Mera
Twor Mak
Thwee Wee

etc etc

Name change of vendors will not happen. Adding the lvl of what the vendor sells " to the name " will not happen at this time, as we feel it takes away from the personality of the vendor.

One thing that may eventually be possible is to differentiate the flags of the vendor levels, while still staying 'in character.' That however is a low priority and I have heard of no success with that so far.

Now that idea I like alot.

I would like this as well, and I think the best way to do this would be to add a discrete number representing the level of the components sold somewhere on the posters on the front of the vendors booth. This may not be possible though since I don't know if the booth graphic models programmed into the client is flexible enough to cover all levels.
Maybe that's what you mean by "flags of the vendor levels".

For the players that have been playing Earth and Beyond for a looong time,
We should know where the Primary Level venders are especially if your a builder. (I don't)

I'll suggest, a mouse over level display.
Or what I have, a Galaxy map over my monitors with the stations and venders Level at each station.

[MrMichaels]

i guess a post-it on my desk works as well

I just bring up the Net-7 Portal on my side screen if I really need to know. Both the Map section and the database has information on which vendor to go to for a certain level of components.

[jrichards]

Yeah, this data is included in the net-7 database and any player/builder is able to learn what vendor sells what level item very quickly. I can see where this could be annoying to new players but I don't think that the annoyance level rises to the level that devs should even look at seeing if any modification is possible. This is especially true since there can be no modification of the game client.

IE: Use the net-7 database, list the info in your captain's log, or learn the vendors.

Doing this type of thing would not require modding the client any more than adding the three other classes did.

[bubblehead]

Or put a ( # ) at the end of the venders name for the level of comp. they sail. I'm sure that would be really easy add.

The brown banners with a number, arabic or roman, FTW.

 

It cant be that hard, but I can see that it may not be that important, either. ;)
