Is it possible that the color and texture palettes could be opened up for domestics in the upcoming domestics update?As an example, the trader flightsuit has a sharp leather texture (best looking in the game), that would be nice to apply to some of the jackets,cloaks, pants and shirts giving many new options with leather, silk, canvas and other textures. Could this be done? - Sasune
For update 9 we have gone through the clothing assets and generated a list of palettes that can be extended. We are currently extending those palettes. There are many clothing assets that have full color palettes; in this case we cannot change them, as it would change the existing ones in the live game as well.
Are Strutures Traders going to get some attending to? I'm talking about new buildings, floor plans and the ability to make perfect 45.00 crafting stations again. - NelonAti
In Game Update 9 we are adding 8 new houses. All of these new structures are customizable, and structure traders will be able to sell the paint kits needed to paint a house.
Will Medics get any type of pass in future updates? If so, how much are the devs willing to do per update, or are you guys even going to go so far as to reserve a full Medic update? If so, how much will be included? Medics mostly agree that a lot of small, touch-ups would be the equivalent of a full update for us. -BromiDista
Going forward it is our plan to no longer do an update devoted to only one profession. We will not stop addressing issues for professions; we will just attempt to make changes in each update for whatever professions we can.
What are you going to do about No Trade? Players don't like it . Sassums
No-Trade isn't going away. It is also not a true statement to say that all players dislike like it. "No-Trade" is a standard game mechanic, and has always been in the game. The very first no-trade item, the Special Edition Goggles, was there at launch. We have reduced the number of no-trade items going into the game. In the past nearly all of the rewards for GMF, Lifeday, and EFoL would have been no-trade. Additionally, we have removed the no-trade flags from some of the existing "no-trade" items in the game (Xeno furniture, etc). We have a system going in to allow you to consume your once per account item and re-claim it on another character.
Will gardener expertise ever be considered? highlander2004
Gardener Expertise is not currently being considered. That said, we are not against adding more plants and flower schematics to the game for our players who like to decorate with them.
