the keyword search area is no longer adding new auto fill text....it still contains my old stuff but i can no longer add.....

the new ah is going to take some getting use too. the min max bids i miss!!

also with the new system i can no longer look at the ah on my phone.....

the new ah system feels like it should have been part of fs helper rather than be integrated into the game for everyone....just my opinion.............

Add a link in the backpack management page to quickly search AH for similar items and another to quickly sell the item in your BP. like it was with FShelper. And the speed of the new AH is just amazing. Maybe we can ajaxify guild chat too :)

Not sure whether these have been mentioned already or not. Haven't taken the time to read through all 22 pages. But..


1) All resources are showing up as fully forged.

2) Upon adding a listing, we are taken to the AH main page - It would make more sense to be taken to "My Auctions".

3) Must say, I'm not sure why we suddenly can see only 6 items per page instead of 8. Not a big deal, I suppose, except that I have 8 AH slots, and am used to being able to see all of my auctions without a reload. Can't do that any more. Adding the ability for the player to set the number of items per page would be nice.

Ugh - just realized all the potions that I've programmed for a quick search, as the names are hard to remember, has been eliminated *sigh*

So now I need to remember the different names for EW1000 vs 1500, Berserker 300 vs 350, and just so many potions. Yes, I'll sort it out, but it takes time and patience.

HCS -- I really hate to say this, but this change was a big step backwards and the problem as I see it is that you need analytical people who are active in the game looking at things like this during developmental phases of the game on a different server. It's too late perhaps for that now in FS, but may I suggest it for other games you develop. In one game that I play people are selected for that based on them volunteering for it and then the game voting on them to serve as spokespersons. Doesn't mean perfection, but you need people who are truly active for feedback. I do get the sense that you're trying to be responsive, but it seems a lot of great features were sacrificed for a new format that's not working and a few more search capabilities. You could mass post before and know the contents of your pack (#'s), now that's gone as well.

I don't like it when my feedback seems too negative, I really don't, but just not seeing anything yet that I like about the new format and just makes me feel bad as I know it reflects hours of creativity and time.

The new rendering of objects in the ah is atrocious...items with that pixel count get really hard to differentiate. I know they are pix-elated down for speed but man its just the auction house not a race car . It more important for a player to make the bids they want and to be sure their buying want the are expecting to......crystal items??????? you have to hover to see wear and tear???


and its diffidently not intuitive....i keep having to click different buttons and then retype after my first try lead to me look in my own auctions...

and for the weird phallic everything button......is that a thermometer or are you just happy to see me?

SO - why no beta version of this - like the MAPS -- they were arguably far more entwined in the game play. (OH - an aside - when I kill an Elite on the new maps - i still dont see it.... how long has that been... so lets start "new" "fixes" when old holes still stick out - especially to non-needed "fixes".)

THEN.... ok - lets BOMB everyone with a NEW AH - that has LESS USE than the one that worked. YES - the new one has more incidental value --- SOME(?!?!!!) of us may be used to the old version... and NOT single file loading auctions... THAT is the most blatant WTF. -- ok - a "fix" to the "fix" - now i need only NUMBER how many of same i want to load on auctions....

This is a start.... the list of 'pretext" i think they were called...... WOW - WHO signed off on this software "update" .

Could you add commas in amounts over 1000?
For instance: 15000 gold will show as 15,000. This should make it easier for us to comprehend the values.

yes :)

if the truth were known not many of us are impressed,, all the fixes have been based on what was available in the old AH, useless waste of time all these posts and still the "NEW" AH has not got all the features of the old one ,

It would be nice that when You bid something the top bar with FSP and Gold change along with how much You spent on bid. Currently You need to refresh whole page to see new FSP and Gold balance.

It's useless knowledge if not shared.

what i see good about the new system are:

1. the 4 extra criteria to choose:
[Used in Recipe?; Used in Quest?; Part of Item Set?; Recipes not known?]
very good for refined and serious trading

2. new stuffs:
[enhancement and favored stats filters]
great additions for players who is noticing, aware and looking for specific enhancements like master inventors or crafters, etc.. and gathering different kinds of setups. we can actually do part of our researching in the AH other than the wiki, fscalculator or UFSG.

3. online statues of the seller, cool! immediate bargaining, provides more dynamic trading to the AH

what i see bad about the new system:

1. the buff filters:
there really aren't that many buffs that are available in potions, and having the buffs in no particular order is a pain to go thru them. comparing to the presets we can make with the fshelper, buying buff potions is a pain now.

2. pull down boxes:
selecting criteria or filters using pull down boxes are rather more cumbersome than having ticks (like old AH) became less user friendly and more clicks.

3. # of items list per page:
well.... I have a Big Monitor, why only 6? maybe we can have a choice on the # of items being list. when u are doing the last minute bidding, u know what i mean. scrolling down isn't much of a problem for some of us who have a wheel on the mouse.

4. (or 2.5) categories:
yes selecting the categories from a pull down manual is frustrating. its the ones that we click on most of the time, so let us click them and not pull and select.
*********************************************************************
*********************************************************************

i'm not sure if i'm looking at this in the right direction, but i get the feeling the AH is getting tuned for a smaller screen, handheld. when we are looking at screen estate, monitors have extra horizontal space and portables like a phone have limited space but tends to find space in a vertical way (scrolls down or longer page). hope u can find a balance or give us the preference to choose in between the new refinements.

suggestions:
-give us the options to save our custom search criteria. (old fshelper function)
-use tick options for gold and fsp.
-add in min and max currency.
-add in bound and unbound.
-sort the buff list (whether in alphabet or by levels) and clear out potionless buffs in the list, or maybe try another totally different approach.
-maybe put the minimum craft like min hellforge in a line of 7 icons with the text hovering (if necessary) these 2 goes together..!
-minimum pull down menus please!

well thanks for all the new updates and hope it gets to be really user friendly from now and save some of the goodness from the old AH and fshelper properties.

A feature I really miss from Helper was when you selected one item from your BP, say a Bookworm potion, it brought up a format similar to what you currently have now, but also below that were pictures of each of the Bookworm potions you had in your BP (if you had 8, there were 8 pictures of bookworm potions below). Next to each picture was something like "place single auction" or some text I can't remember, but that let you select templates or put a time/price up above, and then click on the "place single" next to each potion you wanted to sell at that time/price. This allowed you to set different times/amounts for each separate item without navigating away from the page.

This was also useful if you had the same gear item in different crafts. You could mouse over the different images below, see what the craft was for that particular one, and list it at it's own time/price, then move to the next. All without navigating away from the page. This was a very helpful feature.
