suggestions bump

[Garth_of_Sarlona]

Few suggestions others and myself have made in the past - just bumping them in case the devs actually read this forum.

- Fix the auction house so it's searchable
- Change examination window to show buff icons instead of text - I hate having to look through words to see whether someone already has a certain buff
- Add export of combat log to a text file (like LOTRO already has!)
- Add walking around town with sheathed weapons like on the character creation screen
- Add 40HD trap the soul components
- Fix the auction house so it's searchable: TOP DEV HINT: easy fix would be just to add min level to a lot of ingredients - e.g. make scrolls lvl 20, make shroud stuff level 12, make winter recipes level 1 etc etc - then we could filter by level!!!111one

That is a VERY very good idea!

Really? That one made me facepalm! I found myself thinking of those McDonald's cash registers that only have pictures on them...

Very very good ideas! I like them all.


In terms of icons instead of text, as long as you mouse-over them, and read the titles like you can with buffs - it would be 50x easier to read what buffs a person has.

Excellent suggestions and nice to see that Garth is still playing.

[Faelyndel]

Agreed on all accounts, especially the searchable auction house.

Though as a fairly new player, there are still buffs I'm unfamiliar with and therefore wouldn't know what it is based on the icon, so as long as you could still see in words what it is at some point, perhaps by hovering over it as Goldeneye suggested I'd be happy with it.

And, why only combat log convertable to text? What about us roleplayers who might want to save a copy of our conversations ?

[Garth_of_Sarlona]

yup I'm still here. And I will be posting to this thread frequently to ensure it gets read.

two more while I remember them:

1. Icon in the guild list so you know if someone is grouped or not, a bit like the friends list.
2. Count-down to next level of conquest/ransack, so you know if it's worth it to try and find one more barrel before completion.

and yup exporting any log would be really good, I didn't just mean combat log.

p.s. Please fix the auction house so you can search for items, or at least put more min lvl items in the ingredients/collectable catagories.

hell, go a step further. we need a small bar to type our text in that looks for key words like, acid, holy, sunblade, muckbane etc. if you are in khopesh section, and type in acid- it should show you all the acid khopeshes available. type in holy, same thing. named loot- make it register all the named loot auctionable so the system can recognize "sunblade" to know where to find it. same for clothing and ing's.

i would like to be able to look for something specific, not go through 50 pages of stuff to see whats the cheapest to buy, and by then lose the item. if i want a GFL ring, all ill need to do is go to ring section, fill in the level range, and type in greater false life, and presto!! i should be able to see any and all rings that have greater false life on it. great idea, though. felt it was worth a bump. i figure it could work on the same principle as the profanity filter. the system recognizes profanity when typed, so it should be able to be used to track specific items in the auction for sale

That would be a great help. Sometimes it can take forever to scroll through 25 pages of items to find that one you need.

Yup in a utopian auction house world that would be great and a definite end goal for the system - I suppose I was just throwing out the suggestion that if more ingredients and collectables had minimum levels then it could be a stepping stone on the way, since it's those categories that seem to get the most cluttered, at least on Sarlona anyway.

If you take a gander at the State of the Game post, you'll see under 'Polish and Fixes' that they're hoping to add a search function to the AH this year. We'll see.

I knew I had seen that as an upcoming fix! You saved me the trouble of going crazy looking for it.

They have said that Update 5 will take place near the end of its window because of the massive number of changes included in it. I wonder if this is one of them?
