Tailor bugs

frtoaster

These tailor bugs have been around since Legacy of Romulus was on Tribble. It is now Season 8. Is there any chance we can get them fixed?

It's probably known as well, but most of my saved outfits don't work - they load a 'default' character instead.

There are tailor related bugs from the original Beta that haven't been fixed yet. At least one of which now afflicts KDF aligned Romulans.

Here are a few others to add to the list:

- KDF aligned Romulans don't always have access to the KDF Allied uniform, instead they're shown the Federation Allied uniform, but cannot use it either.

- Reman BOFFs cannot access Reman clothing options.

- KDF aligned Romulan and BOFF uniform color choices will change when editing other parts of the uniform. IE: Selecting color choices for the shirt/jacket, then editing the pants will result in whatever color choices used for the pants applying themselves to the rest of the uniform as well. (This one is over 3 years old on KDF... I don't think they're ever going to bother doing anything about it. If it were Fed, it would have been fixed the day after release.)

Don't forget the one that makes all of your outfits unusable, my orion engy now has 3 outfits she can't wear or modify, my KDF-Rom had one broken outfit before S8 but I bet they are all broken now.

I've had this problem on my KDF character and KDF-aligned Romulan too. I can't change uniforms at all (not just the "7th costume" the patch notes keep mentioning), whether at the tailor or not. They're both stuck with the first one, and if I really feel the need to change or modify their uniforms, I have to edit that one.

Probably related: When renaming other costumes (so far it seems to just be the MACO/Honor Guard ones), I get an error message about "invalid parts".

back when the universe was new (ie the game was young) we had a couple threads where the devs responsible for the tailor and/or outfits directly interacted directly with the community to chase down and fix tailor bugs and get the outfits accurate.

its because of those threads that many of the canon uniforms are so well done.

the tailor is in a woeful state atm.

i know there has been less dev interaction lately but i beg the devs to do something similar again.

we can help you make the game better.

this particular game basically gives the player at least 5 and possibly far, far more customisable characters.

it's pretty unique in that respect.

gamers are somewhat not-so-secretly a pretty vain bunch when it comes to their characters and the functionality of "the tailor" is of massive significance to many people imo.

if you want something to "take to the boss" consider this simple fact: a great many c-store purchases are undoubtedly driven by character customisation.

i myself have dropped cash on things just to make just a BOFF look a certain way never mind the captain...and i'm reeeeally stingy :P

while the tailor remains "a mess" people are undoubtedly being disinclined to invest in customisation options which tbth "should work" but often don't.

what i'm basically saying is sort out the tailor and it'll help your "kerching"

and i think i'm ok to suggest that "we" are fully prepared to help you fix it.

please seriously consider undertaking a serious effort to "nail it down" like the last time...

There's a lot they could do to fix it, the question is, can the be bothered to. After all, the tailor doesn't sell anything directly on the C-$tore, so they've got zero motivation to do anything about it.

If they really cared about the Tailor, they would have fixed the color changing bug on the KDF long ago. I's been 3 years, and it's still not fixed, and probably never will be. It's not Fed, and it doesn't make them any money on the C-$tore. The sad part is, that same bug now afflicts Romulans, allegedly their latest cash cow.

I really don't expect to see them take time away from making overpriced ships or the latest lock box to fix something they can't charge us on the C-$tore for. If they could make Zen from the tailor, it would be fixed before you could blink.

It's like the idiot reply one of them gave a while back about not being able to make the various body armors work on non Fed characters, because of the odd angles, etc.. on the uniforms.. It's actually a pile of bovine TRIBBLE. They can make it work, they just don't care and can't be bothered. I know for a fact that it works, because before the last patch, one of my Romulan characters BOFFS apparently 'bugged' out while doing Cold Storage and was showing the Polyalloy armor he was wearing instead of his uniform.

How do I know for certain I was on a Romulan? The BOFF in question was Tovan Khev. If I had thought about it, I would have screen capped it before I logged out. Not that it would have made a difference, because they'd still use that worn out excuse to justify not doing anything to fix it.

On KDF, if I load my honor guard outfit in tailor, it resets to default 'off duty shirt' and pants instead of remaining on my HG look.
