Anyone know if the bugged market explorers will get fixed

[Marcus75]

The market explorers in the housing zone really is a great tool/troll/firby or whatever race you got around your corner but they work really bad alot of the time.

Anyone seen if this gets improved in patches to come or is it just something that wont change? I dont wanna search for an item and then give up after a while, grab a horse and ride away and have the result come up after 4-5 minutes...

Looks lilke Rightnow, just change those 4-5 minutes to days

Yeah, the search NPC thing is horrible.

 

[Damon_D]

Would be nice if it , when you are for instance searching for dex stat and say heat resist , would ONLY list itesm with BOTH seleted options, and not items with just one of em , would save having to screen trugh a gazillion worthless items

 

[starr]

Would be nice if we could just buy the item direct from market explorer tbh like other games.

 

[Damon_D]

Well a " port to CM " option would be nice...

 

[Mairghead]

I'm a bit more concerned about the bug with CM's where some of the time when you move items around on it, the price doesn't move with the item and anything you move into the old slot will just magically assume the old item's price - and vice versa.

Only when I recently noticed a potion for sale for 1p+ and realised that a masterpiece weapon had sold for 10g did I spot this. It's happened a few times since, though luckily with cheapass items that I'm less bothered about.

Definitely worth paying proper attention whenever tidying up a CM's stock.

Oh...and...there's one lucky masterpiece weapon owner out there who got his sword for an absolute steal of a price.

The one I hate is finding something I want to buy, running my ass across 4 zones (going round some stupid bastarding hills), only to find, that, yes, I have the right house number, but that item doesnt exist on the merchant.

Its worse when I log another char on, have them check the item and it continues to show as being available on house XXXX and Im standing right there and its bloody not

I get that ALL the time.

Aye. Or maybe a command similar to \who that searches on all the keywords you supply:
eg. \searchmarket 100% pants 51 envenom dexterity - would return all market items with these strings appearing in the database entry/ies for that item. Being able to specify ranges with a - (50-51) would be nice but would require work I guess.

Cheers,

The strange thing is that a friend who plays on the U.S servers told me that many of these problems don't occur on their servers, so it has either been hotfixed at some point or it is an error with GOA's code.

A quick way to check if the item is not on the CM is too see if the CM has the same item listed twice.

I went to one house to look for a bracer as it was listed on the explorer, in fact according to the explorer it had two of the same item. When i got there non existed.

So if you see two items listed on the CM then more than likely it is not there. I know it can be hard to tell especially with lowlevel items or crafted armour.

For instance there was two zahurs rings on a CM when i got there none existed

sometimes its just one item took me 15 mins to run to the cm and find out it wasn't there logged alt who was at ME yes still listed checked again still not there

but time=cash for goa so they will wanna keep this bug

 

[AhoyHoy]

Well at least they are finally getting rid of those annoyingly pointless zonewalls in housing, for the life of me i never figured out what they were there for in the first place

 

[Aussie]

pm'd a GM like 3 months ago about it. he replied they were busy with it.

standard time for fixing problems/patches etc

they are there to annoy ppl, i think its pretty damn obvious

heh wondered why when im after a rare item thats worth say 10p, i often see it for about 100g instead

 

[Marcus75]

Any GM care to share some "unofficial" info as it seems to be the only kind we can expect about problems like this?

People run between zones? Never heard of horses or teleport tokens?

 

[Sarumancer]

horses are bugger all use and go the long way around, taking 5x as long as running and you have to GET to each zone to buy tokens, so you either mess with more running or waste hours on horses.

now smart arse, you were saying?

hehe well they are there for you to run into and get anoyed about

i personaly love em since its not very hard to know where the holes betwen zones are

and i do get a kick and a laugh out of it when others bitch and moan about being lost hours in housing

 

[Moo]

The strange thing is I remember playing on us servers back when euro didn't have market explorers (back when foundations was only just released on euro) and there was no problem with lag. And then i played euro and the explorers were often laggy (not all the time tho). And now back on US servers again they're instant like before.

Sounds like goa hardware.

A bigger problem for pvp players is the fact that you have to go to each realm's housing zone and search on each realm's market explorer in order to search all items ingame, since a realm's explorer only shows housing items from it's realm rather than the whole server. VERY ANOYING - but it's pvp, it will never get fixed, ever.

Buy them off people's CMs, it's not rocket science.
