Can we have an inspiration vendor in the Ski Chalet area?

[mechahamham]

In particular, can one of these two NPCs at the bottom of the ski slope sell inspirations?

 

 

It seems like Chilli is one of the vendors for the temp powers available during the Spring event, or sends you to the NPC that does that. Even if he can't be made to sell inspirations and buy dropped enhancements, his coworker right next to him should.

I'd say just step outside to the bartender immediately out of the chalet area door and talk to the bartender, but they don't seem to sell inspirations anymore.

The only bartender that is an Inspiration Vendor who takes all sales is in the Pocket D AE, Pollux.

 

It used to be all upper floors bartenders as well as one in the Tiki Lounge.

 

I'd like to see more, especially in the Ski Lodge and the Tiki Lounge.

Do we know why all the other bartenders stopped working as stores?

I would like to know this too. If they were still working, then all anyone would have to do is step out of the ski area, buy their inspirations, and step right back in. (Edit: I'm not against the ski chalet bartender also selling inspirations, just saying if the other bartenders still sold inspirations, we would have that ability.)

I don't know.  Can't remember when things changed.

Ideally I'd like a vendor in the lodge itself, or in the private areas below, one at the bottom of the slopes where I posted the OP image, one in the Tiki lounge, and then one in the RMFC area. I'd take one ANYWHERE on the slope and be happy, tbh.

 

The vendors don't have to be standing behind the bars, but the bartender stations with cash registers are SCREAMING for vendors. It seems odd when there are no vendors in sight. It's doubly odd when there's a bartender NPCs talking to you, like the one in my chat box, but then you can't actually do anything with them.

 

(I dislike visiting Pollux because walking past 20 Spines/Fire brutes that I KNOW are just there for the sake of agriculture kinda takes me out of the game.)

This may be a case of Mandela effect, because I looked at the source files history and the bartenders in Pocket D have never been touched.

 

I will make the named ones (Isaac, Chaz, Sam, etc) sell inspirations starting on the next patch. The ones that don't have a name spawn in a different way that makes it more difficult for them to sell inspirations without a script rework (apparently, they are supposed to dance when players aren't around; I don't think I ever noticed that).

The Bartenders upstairs by the PvP Arena Kiosks are stores, as is Pollux over the AE terminals and portal.  There were some that sold Valentine related powers, but I guess those are time gated.

 

Only certain bartenders have been stores.  Most are not and have never been.

Now that I think of it, it was likely only the Tiki Lounge Bartenders (either the human, the Mask, or both)) who sold inspirations.

 

I've notice Pollux in the AE Bar do fancy gesturing, but he does that all the time.  And others are supposed to dance?  But only when we're not around.  Sort of a Schrödinger's bartender.  😺
