Hi all,

Over the next wee while I'm going to be working on the Auction House to bring you guys a slicker experience when you want to buy or sell on the AH.

Things I will be working will include:

[*:qm6ryi4s]A more intuitive interface layout
[*:qm6ryi4s]Streamlining the creation of auctions
[*:qm6ryi4s]Saving the creation of auctions as templates
[*:qm6ryi4s]Reduced page loading (Less refreshing)
[*:qm6ryi4s]Improved search features (including the ability to save searches)
For those who want to know about the FS Lite App for mobile. It is still being developed and an update on that project will be given in another post later on.

As usual a post will go up once this update is pushed live onto FS. Happy Hunting guys 'n' gals!

Would updates like this to the interface, mean the fs helper can be eventually phased out? Ie: removal of ALL scripts?

Just during your bathroom break? Hopefully, it will be done soon. :lol:

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Thank you HCS 8)

This game update may well "break" the FSHelper functionality on the AH cos of the page coding changes, so my question is How much of the FSHelper's functionality will be put in?

Just asking so I know, Thanks

PS if you need a rundown of the FSHelper functionality I will be happy to gather the info and provide it to ya. :idea:

I had thought some of the problems I had on the auction house were just due to my ineptness!
I look forward to seeing the new innovations.

Another feature that would be nice is if you had the option of just clicking on an item and that would automatically take you to the Auctions for that item so you could compare price to find out if something is a good deal!

The FSHelper has that option but only works when Hunting Mode is off

A feature that might be nice to see is the option for a bidder to cancel their bid.
i.e. A person bids on the wrong item then not have enough funds to bid on what they were really after.

Another upgrade to the auction house that would be awesome would be to get fsp/gold back immediately after being out bid. I hate having to wait upto 48 hours to get my fsp back after I've been outbid.

Something that bothers me is that to buy in the 'special' part of the AH the minimun level must be 1 otherwise no item it's displayed, can this be fixed ? sorry for poor english

If they were used properly they would be handy, but I feel they'd be too easily abused ... Could very easily be used to force up prices.

I.E.

Player "A" lists item for 100 fsp.
You bid 101
Player B bids 102
You bid 103 and Player B gets his 102 back immediately and is free to go off and buy something else he wanted to, but delayed to help a mate. All that's been accomplished there is that you're bidding 2 fsp higher than you originally were.

I know that folk have a "ceiling" for most items, above which they won't go, but I still think it's abusable.

That's a shame tho, 'cos they could be very useful additions.

Shouldn't that say week? Just saying.

Otherwise thanks for the updates to the game, the auction house really could use the revamp.
