Transmogged archlich robe into tabard wont be repairable.

Felipovisk · April 15

After transmogging a robe of the archlich into an archlich tabard from the same event, its not possible to repair the tabard. As seen in the following pictures:

Could we get a fix for this plz? Also would consider checking the cloak of virtuous, since its a target for the new transmog cloak slot potion. I understand that the problem with tabards and maybe with the cloak its because its not considered a tailoring item for it to repair. @Kyronix and @Parallax can we get this fixed in the next batch of fixes plz? thanks

@Community Manager nice they are aware of it, but could we get a date for this fix or solution plz? Since according to the thread you linked its been more than a year and we didnt get a fix for it nor any other solution. Its been the second event we had where the archlich robe was a reward but we still have problems with it beeing the source of transmoggs. This problem involves any tabard, parrot and i can assume there is the same problem for the cloak of virtuous. Maybe consider removing the durability of archlich robe and the cloak of the reaver or including tabards into tailor table of items and for parrots maybe a 100k fee for veterinarians and stable masters to 'repair' it.

I would like to point out that this problem existing more than a year is a tremendous lack of respect for the player base that had spent money on the UO store transmogrification potion to receive an unrepairable result. I understand the dev team is small and have other stuff, but i am not asking for any new content coming out of the blue or anything out of the possibility. I am asking to fix a problem that exists for more than a year. Thanks for your response.

As mentioned in the thread and the newsletter, this is working as intended.

hi community manager,

as intended = bug now is by-design in newsletter and forum thread after we ruin gear and waste money so no refunds need paid, this what the community see

as intended would be warning message before we ruin the gear and the dollars on the mog pot, but no warning or information when using the pot about it

hawkwinds only work because the self repair hidden property. that dont seem intended seem like someone testing with a bad test item and not enough item tests

dont seem as intended. is intended to make community feel scammed?

@Community Manager I understand the response 'as intended' is the easier one to give to the player base. As a player of this community, i cannot accept the 'working as intended' response because i know its not true or intended. The devs made an event, give a blank tabard as one of the rewards, clearly as transmogrification target it is clear and makes sense. What doesnt makes sense is that we have now 2 tabards( virtue ones and archlich) and a parrot that can be transmogged but not repaired. We didnt had this issue before because of 3 scenarios:

1 - You could only 'transmog' virtue tabards with hawkwinds robe via jolly roger questline.
2 - After the potion come out, we only had sources without durability and the only one with durability was hawkwinds robe wich have self repair 3 as hidden property, thats why the repair problem never occurred on tabards and parrots before.
3 - we didnt have a robe slot with durability and without self repair.

Now we have this problem beucase the mantle of the archlich dont have self repair, this problem probably exists within the cloak slot also. I need confirmation or some tests on it, but i am 99% sure that the cloak of the virtuous also is not listed on the tailoring table items, meaning it also cant be repaired if anyone transmog jumu's sacred hide or even newest addition from the SS event, Shadow Reaver Cloak.

So just to wrap it up, we need it to be fixed or if we just need to use a better word for it, 'implemented' since it is missing. it is a total disrespect for the player base it didnt been adressed in more than a year and when players show their discontent on all our community channels, there is a lot o people asking for patience and understanding because the team is small and doing what they can. Fix it and help us to cheer for the good job the team is doing. Do the 'good job' dont let things sink broken in oblivion.

There is many ways this could be adressed:

1 - Give a warning when doing the transmog into tabard, parrots and cloak of the vituoues that it will not be repairable(lazy solution)

2 - Code the branch needed to include the tabard as a tailoring item for repairs. Include an option for veterianrians or stable masters to repair the parrot for a 100k fee.

3 - Remove the durability from Archlich's Mantle.

What i am asking is to be true and transparent to us, it is not a favor i am asking, i am asking to do the right with us, the player base.

In a similar vein, I asked for more transparency when I created the below thread. These hidden properties do nothing but cause disappointment....

Somebody had a sense of humor when they added the "Bull headed" totem for the recent event, at least.

The thing is they never intended to make tabard a non repairable item. i am 99% sure about it. When they released the tabard, we only had the joly roger quest option to enhance the tabard with hawkwinds robe, and as it have self repair, we never had a problem. Then came the transmogrification potion and the parrot, also, not a problem since the only robe with durability has self repair and you will not have a problem.

But with the archlich event, they launched another tabard, for transmogrification target, and a new robe with durability, but this time without self repair, and with it the problem was born.

There is a new problem now with the cloak transmogrification potion, where we had other cloaks with durability, a new one from Shatered Sanctum event, and some options as a target. What i noticed is that transmogging a quiver into any kind of cloak is ok, quivers dont have durability, and if they ever needed repair, they are tailoring table items, so they are repairable.

Since the cloak option is new hardly anyone have run into repair problems, i run into a bug with insurance when transmogging a counterfeit quiver into paladin cloak, saying that i cannot insure that. Its been a month and no fix yet. I also assume that there is a problem if you transmog cloaks like Jumu's sacred hide or Shadow Reavers Cloak into the cloak of the virtuous. i am 99% sure you will not be able to repair, same problem as the tabards and parrots.

To wrap it up, i read your post and i dont think it wasnt a matter of a missing property on tabards, it was a scenario that they werent aware until it happened with archlich robes transmogs. Not totally a bug per se, but its a problem derived from missing implementation and need to be adressed or fixed ASAP.

Howdy, Stranger!
