LittleMe Jewell Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 When the creator does not put a sample of the item by the Sale sign, so I have to hunt around the store to actually see a rezzed version. Or for clothing, the Sale area does not have a Demo, so I have to hunt through the store to find the Demo. For those items that haven't already screamed BUY ME, BUY ME - I won't even take the time to find the Demo or rezzed version. Lost possible sale. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleMe Jewell Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I have no doubt I have said this before and I am thus repeating myself: Creators that do not put the permissions on the ad board of an item and the Vendor does not provide the info in any way. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeyshyla Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Creators that use numbers for their animations instead of words, I don't want to click through 20 animations to find that one I like but if they're named it at least gives me a clue. And every store uses different numbers for different animations and even within a store, I've just sat on 4 chairs and every #6 was completly different animation...grrrr, it's not that hard to name animations and keep them organised. I can't buy furniture that's numbered, it frustrates me too much and sadly my favourite creators do it, so I visit their stores, look at the pretty things and then spend my Lindens elsewhere. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMe Jewell Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Creators that don't double-check their LM giver at an event and thus give you an old LM that does not actually take you to their store. If they are lucky, I will check their profile to see if a current store location is listed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivy Mysterious Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) Heres one I've been meaning to post (may already have, theirs 120 pages, not going back to look lol) When I'm role-playing with someone and its a fight scene, or a scene that involves me struggling or getting into an altercation with the person I am role-playing with and the person simply doesn't acknowledge it in any way, or acts like i didn't just try to punch/ kick/ slap them Example, this literally JUST happened: [2020/03/08 19:33] Iᴠʏ RᴀᴇBᴇʟ - Sᴀʀᴀsᴡᴀᴛɪ (IvyLarae) screamed out when she was slapped, feeling her teeth sink into her lip from the impact as well as her face throb. She was putting up one hell of a bravado as she glared at him. Ivy had very long, pointed nails and at the threat she would try to rake them in a quick swipe across his face, if she succeeded she would catch him right along his cheek and she'd probably leave red welts and would try to bolt off the bed if she distracted him enough [2020/03/08 19:38] RP Partner ( Name changed out of respect) laughs as she gets all jacked on him. "So you wanna play rough. Good. I'm probably gonna make you cry for me to let you and your boy toy go." As an RPer literally NOTHING will turn me against an RP quicker than this specific thing, like ffs how hard is it to simply emote dodging said actions? don't completely ignore them!?

I would just continue with "the arrogant bully didn't even attempt to block, my hand swiped across his face connecting unhindered and harder than I had expected tearing the flesh from his face. The blood splattering me only enraged me further as I ....." If he isn't going to block start beating on him.

Yeah, common theme in RP combat. But even apart from that, his RP looks so crap in general that I'm surprised you got as far as a fight scene. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amina Sopwith Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Actually, not to excuse his rubbish RP, but is it possible that the phrase "she would try" wasn't explicit enough and made him think it was something you might do, rather than something you did do? If that's what he thought, he'd be right not to react as though he knew what was in your mind. It's still an irritating thing in RP combat, though. I can understand why some people find it easier just to go meter, although that was never my preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand why some people find it easier just to go meter, although that was never my preference. I wouldn’t give him that much credit. It was just crappy RP on his part. She basically gave him an out with the “she would” whether it hurt him enough or he would have to react in some way to avoid it. The bare minimum in RP imo, is to react in some way to the person’s action before yours, so that there’s a continuous feedback loop. He didn’t even acknowledge it even happened, it just was bad RP and pretty prevalent in SL. Automatically broke the loop. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

' His slap had stung and hurt her but not as much as his nonchalent arrogance now did! His eyes turned hard and steely as he moved towards her, intentions clear. Unfortunately for him, not quite as hard and steely as the top of her foot as it connected with his unmentionables! His mocking smirk suddenly changed to a mask of sheer horror as the agony from the unexpected blow doubled him over, just in time to meet her swiftly rising knee which crashed into his face. There was a moment of sickening sound as the cartilage in his nose exploded, a primordial grunt and a heavy 'thump' as his unconscious body hit the floor. She dragged him into the recovery position (thrashing out murder/self defence charges with the police was always such a bore!) then wiped the blood and mucus from her throbbing kneecap on the bed cover. Glancing at her watch she guessed she had just enough time for a quick shower and a nice cup of tea before 'Eastender's' came on. Whistling softly to herself, she left the room!' .......Probably why I don't RP - total lack of patience! 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma Remove any '?lang=' from the URL. If the link is just 'https://marketplace/stores/nnnnn', then I'm pretty sure it will automatically default to the language of the person that is logged into the MP. ETA: I think if it is language specific there is also some sort of language indicator in the middle of the URL - before the '/stores', based on looking at a few old links I have.

Skell Dagger Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Paraphrased support request: Quote Customer: How do I add my animations to the HUD?Me: Which animations are you trying to add?Customer: I have the animations in my inventory and am not sure how to get them in the HUDMe: Which animations are you trying to add?Customer: I'm looking for my list. I activated the ones I want. [ Pause here to mention that Catwa animations need installers. If the 'animations in inventory have been activated' then they are probably gestures. I'm trying to ascertain exactly what the customer is trying to add. ] Quote Me: You cannot add non-Catwa animations to either your Animations HUD F or your HUD C. Only Catwa animations can be added, and those must have installers.Customer: That's not my question and not what I'm trying to do.Customer: I'm shaking my head. Maybe you're helping too many people at once. [[ Note: I was helping only that customer, as was one other CSR ]]Me: You are saying "I have the animations in my inventory and am not sure how to get them in the HUD." I have said "You cannot add non-Catwa animations to either of your HUDs, only Catwa animations and those must have installers".Customer: I'm not trying to be difficult, but when I state my question you're giving me a non-applicable answer. We are just not communicating.Other CSR: Skell asked you twice which animations you were trying to add.Customer: I'm looking for the folder with them now. I'm sure they're Catwa.Me: I have been asking simple questions and getting non-answers. First you stated that you have the animations in your inventory (this could mean you've purchased additional animations OR you've purchased animations from a third party, which is why I was asking which animations you had). Now you're saying you've activated the ones you want (which means they could be gestures and not animations).Me: What does the icon for the animations look like in your inventory?Customer: I've never met customer service people that are quite so difficult as here. I have been in SL a long time. Skell, don't say anything.Customer: Not another word. I've been dealing with coronavirus for two days and I don't have the patience to be nice when people are rude to me. [ And, finally, this next bit is not paraphrased ] Quote Customer: Skell I knew you were a man before I ever looked at your profile. Why... because you have the patience of a man. It's customers like that who make me wonder sometimes why the hell I bother. I do it for nothing. I do it because I love helping people, and because I love the product. But people like that... yeah. They can bring me pretty low. I feel like s**t right now 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
