Test Server Feedback

Yeah can you guys use a separate thread when loading market data? Regardless of multiselling or not the way the market itself and the setting up of orders freezes the client has bugged me forever.

I don't mind it taking time, but freezing the client is bad D: Get it to be asynchronous.

I agree there is always someone lazy who dont want to sell items one by one so they rather sell it to me and I do it in great numbers.

So If there will be this possibility I hope you will rise tax for this feature =) you know someone must do this work in station me or NPC doesnt matter, but he must be payed :P

Are you serious? Just... Are you serious? I cannot express how amazing this is!!!! Please put this in TQ asap!!! :DDDD

This is great, cool feature. More than any other game I have ever played, EVE seems to be about collecting fantastic quantities of Stuff. Always good to see more features that reflect that.

What I would most like to see:

* Per-item warnings for over/under market averages, preferably with a tooltip that reflects the difference from expected sale value (for underrun) or total fees/taxes for listing this item (for overrun). Occasional mistakes with these are the things that can really cost a marketeer in the long run. It may have been only once that I listed 200,000 Void L at 350k isk apiece, but the broker fee for that listing cost me well over a day's profits. Selling 300 million ISK in modules at 15% their value wasn't fun either.

* An easily accessible 'view market details' button for each item. Nobody can reliably hit a target they cannot see, and on the market the enemy is in the regional market window.

* Please make sure that the mouse scroll wheel works in these boxes!

Thanks for the great work as always :)

This is some of the best news I've seen in a long time. However I don't do test servers -- could you please post images of the UI you have planned so the design can be reviewed? Thanks. For what it's worth, my main priorities in this area ares:

1. Single-action access to a window to sell all items at once with modifications (you seem to have that handled)
2. Columns indicating the standard info for the item in the current market -- average buy/sell prices, etc.
3. Checkbox or other UI item to remove or re-add individual items from the mass sell order

So basically a good workflow would be:

A) Click to activate market -- opens window populated with all items in current hangars (items and ships). Default all items to be sold (checkbox active)

B) Options to remove items from sale (uncheck box), adjust number of each item to be sold (numeric entry box/widget), change sell or buy price (thereby switching from instant sales to "ask" sell orders).

C) Sell button with "are you sure" alert which can be dismissed for future.

Ideally this should create an end product where selling any set of items can be accomplished in two clicks -- activate sell window, confirm sale.

Muchos gracias

I thought I had an original idea but this was it If you can add an option to "never sell below X%" then that'll pretty much perfect the system for me.

Excellent change.

In addition to the interface displaying if the buy price is higher/lower than average, it should as well display the % above/below that average. If this already is possible with mouse hover, I do apologize, dont have access to test server atm

This is a feature Eve has deserved for a long time. Thank you for it.

What I would love to see is a Column set of suggested prices to the right of the current price adjuster. If you imagine your typical webmail interface like gmail, outlook, ect -- there is a column of checkboxes. You can either check the top box to select the whole column or pick and chose the items individually. You then get to pick an option from a pulldown menu. (Or also from right clicking the individual checkboxes)


For the webmail applications this could be 'save', 'reply', 'move to trash', ect. For multisell this could be more applicable things to us such as 'Sell to Buy Orders' -- liquidates the stock to however many buy orders are necessary, '0.01 ISK/Create Low Sell Order' -- Creates a sell order 0.01 isk below the current low order, '5% order' -- creates a sell order priced at the 5% mark that should sell in reasonable time (calculated regionally), '10% order' -- creates a sell order priced at the 10% mark that should sell over a longer period of time, 'Estimated Value' -- creates a sell order at the estimated value of the item given by the game (probably really useful where there is not an established market)

If you feel like adding additional clarity to the interface you could color code each of the options and have that color represented in the checkbox to the right of the price. For example the '5% order' might be yellow and the '10% order' might be green, or whatever you feel makes sense. The 'liquidate to buys' could also grey out the price adjuster for additional clarity.

Please for the love of God don't make the options too simple. Easy to use, sure. But not simplistic.

If it's not capable enough to really replace making sell orders one at a time, the people who need it most won't benefit at all.
