is there any particular reason as to why all the merchant dialog has been striped and replaced with "Welcome one, Welcome all." or are you hoping that the player base doesn't notice.
Welcome one, Welcome all?

08-08-2012, 07:46 PMNahaaraI don't get it either, I actually enjoyed it how all of the merchant NPCs had different snippets of dialogue that showed us differing personalities.Quote:

My only guess would be because mini map icons are not exactlly...accurate all the time, so once you talk to someone, you can tell its the merch from the dialog........
Best i can do on short notice...i'm not a fan of it either Needs more personality. -
08-08-2012, 11:30 PMNahaaraI remember a shopkeeper in Windurst in FFXI that was basically "if you're not here to buy something then get lost"Quote:

It could be that they are reworking the dialogue of vendors for the end of the world (1.23a or b) and put this in as a placeholder, but I don't see why they went to the effort of changing the dialogue for this.
I hope the vendors will get lore based chat in 1.23a or b, something like "if you are going to face the cataclysm, my wares are second to none, please have a look" and we need a Chocolina style vendor, someone completely wacky and preferably wearing a chocobo outfit :p -

Yeah, I hated the "Welcome one, welcome all!" on all the shop NPC's too. It really takes all the personality out of the NPC's, and it reeks of laziness. :(

Actually... this is the result of a bug that will be fixed in patch 1.23a!
Don't worry, your favorite merchant NPCs will soon be back to saying things like "Hey, I sure love buying your random items!" and "Wow, you again? Really, I don't want anymore of the stuff filling your bag..." and who can forget "Please... I can't afford to buy items from you anymore, I have a family..." and so on. :) -

It would be awesome if NPC vendors start saying those last few things too :) -
08-09-2012, 12:51 PMRickySo the NPCs don't like it when I sell them 1000+ belts I am using to skill up on? I kinda feel bad now.. a littleQuote:

2.0 is switching over to a bag system (or something close enough) if I recall correctly. He's just staying ahead of the trends!

Bayohne is right. -

This is a huge conspiracy. SE, I am sorry but i cannot play your games as I am afraid i am putting money into a company that will soon be sued.Quote:

Does anybody else realize that you can have an inventory inside a bag, so calling it either is fine :(?

08-10-2012, 06:15 AMEclipseThe claim was specifically made against the container that holds said inventory and not the contents of said container.Quote:

Thank you for the report Bayohne. don't you think that's a pretty big bug to just fall though the cracks like that if i was a new player and 40% of the NPC's just said Welcome one, Welcome all i wouldn't think very highly of the game. these are exactly the kind of screw ups you don't want come 2.0/ARR. besides you should probably break out your whip, i Smell Overworked QA' Tester?'s.
Edit: Bag,Inventory,Sack,Sachel,pouch,fannypack,backpack....Who cares, quit derailing the thread. -
