| Author | add new market features |
|---|
I noticed during searching through the market and bidding / buying and selling that a miss some features, which are very very usuful, so here they are:
1. If you bid on auction, you can see on market all your lots with your bids (+ maximal bid) and date when they (lots) ends
2. If you was overbidden on market, (and you are for example on forum, you wouldn't recognize it =( ) so you'll get a small symbol (f.e. near "character", like symbols "you've got mail" or "hunter needs help", etc...) "you was outbidden!"
And you can see all lots, where you was outbidden on market (will be deleted, after auction expires)
3. You can add some offers (auctions / direct sales) to some art of "like"-list: (example)
"1. Beastbane signet [i] Durability: 1/15 price: 200
Auction expiry: 2013-02-28, 01:06:01
2. master hunter ring of dexterity [i] ...
3..." | +1
2. If you was overbidden on market, (and you are for example on forum, you wouldn't recognize it =( ) so you'll get a small symbol (f.e. near "character", like symbols "you've got mail" or "hunter needs help", etc...) "you was outbidden!"
And you can see all lots, where you was outbidden on market (will be deleted, after auction expires) and when you click on it, it takes you to that item | | +1 | | And if the art setter agrees you can withdraw your bid | | +12. If you was overbidden on market, (and you are for example on forum, you wouldn't recognize it =( ) so you'll get a small symbol | some new ideas:
4. be able to see when auction expires in your country time (i have 5 hour difference and it always happens to me that i write somewhere when an auction ends, and then i read my note, then i get the different times mixed (on .com i had only 1h difference and it was easy to remember such things) -> i miss then auction =( ), maybe admins can give us an option to see some f.e. market lots-expiry in our country time, something like: "auction expires: ... date ... , your country time" (possible option in "personal settings")
5. be able to see when auction expires directly, _without clicking on [i]_ (i mean this [i] near the lot), for example build-in a new column with "auction expires": date/time, because if some lots intersted me, then i have to click (50 times during market searching, maybe more?) on this [i] to see when they ends. | +1 some good suggestions.
if the art setter agrees you can withdraw your bid <-- this would be very bad idea because very easy to abuse. A "friend" could bid to find someone else's maximum bid (or to raise price) and then just withdraw near the end if they were highest bidder. | | Also how about an 'Exchange Option' where the seller can specify some other value for the item other than gold | new idea:
6. add level filter for artifacts. for example:
a) artifacts only for fixed/specific level
(example artifacts _only_ for level 8)
b) all artifacts which can be used on given level ([all_artifacts]<= [char_lvl])
This filter isn't something fixed, it can be chosen in a drop-down menu by a player on market to filter this huge amount of artifacts. So, for example i'll set my market-filter on level 10 (a), so i'll see (here: https://www.lordswm.com/auction.php) in column "Categories" only artifacts for level 10 (= idea #a) ) (everything is the same, but not all artifacts are shown). | | + | 1. + I personally don't really see the need, but I suppose it can be useful for others.
2. - It seems like you have not understood the mechanism. You should specify the maximum you are willing to pay. The game makes sure you will pay just enough to outbid the second highest bidder. You will likely not have to pay the full amount you specified.
3. - You have to explain this and the need for it. I don't understand.
4. - I don't understand the need for it. See point 2.
5. - Still, I don't see the need. See point 2.
6. + A filter would be nice. Especially for new players that easily can be overwhelmed by the number of arts. | #11
i often buy/sell on market, so i need this features.
It seems like you have not understood the mechanism.
You can give your maximum price and then you don't more care about what will happen with this auction - you win = great, you loose = you didn't want to bid more and you get your money back. But you can also bid partially and then bid in the last moment (completely equal to eBay). because somebody can overbid you only for 10-100 gold (only example. depends from price) and sometimes it's really pitty about it. (#)
=> If you participate (or interest) in many auctions it is good to have a good overview.
My ideas base on my eBay experince and i miss such things here. Market plays an important role in this game and it shouldn't be neglected. Also market seems to be the same since the game started (at least how i see and i know market since 2008), so there were only minimal changes (i don't count new artifacts which can be sold on market). And come on, these are very comfortable features, i guess it needs max 2-3 hours to implement them.
So, now step by step:
1. you bid in lot of auctions (& every day) => you need to see where you made your bids (in my eyes very plausible)
2. -> (#)
3. nice feature too. "like-list" means that you comb through the market and you some auctions but don't want to bid at this moment (maybe not enough gold or inventory space, but maybe in 10 houzrs you will have money or inventory space) and you don't want to forget about it => you need to write it somewhere, but why so complicated? => "like-list"
4. i have every time to convert server time in my country time. but i've already described in detail the problem. i'm not a computer and i make every time mistakes => i miss the auction; see: (#) (maybe i want to bid in last moment)
5. see 4 + see for example on eBay, very comfortable.
6.Especially for new players that easily can be overwhelmed by the number of arts, yes but not only. i'n not more a new player in this game but i'm level-8 player and i don't need artifacts for 15-lvl-player (-> if i want to use them especially for me, not to resell), so somwtimes i need this filter to look for some good offers which match level.
this is not more old .com-world where everything was static, now we have admins who care about the game. so why we souldn't make some suggestions to improve the game? | new idea:
7. add some filters, for example: AP-, enchantments-, price-, artifact-artifact properties(+xx attack, +yy defence, ...) - filters
8. be able to sort artifacts by specific values (AP, initiative, attack, repairing costs). For example to sort in category "weapons" by ammunition points...
9. clans can sell/buy artifacts/resources/elements... on market (there will be shown instead of seller-name clan number/clan name)
===
price-filter - you can type your price range f.e. "from [1000] gold to [5000] gold" and there would be shown only artifacts from specific category which are fit in this price range.
===
--> sort by Ammunition Points: lowest/highest first
...
Imperial award 5th grade... (= AP: 7)
Imperial award 6th grade... (= AP: 6)
...
Medal of Confrontation 3rd grade... (= AP: 5)
... | 9. clans can sell/buy artifacts/resources/elements... on market (there will be shown instead of seller-name clan number/clan name)
Who will but them for the clan, the treasurer or leader or anyone? |
