HoC Chat 11/29 @ 8PM EST

[Nolrog]

Tomorrow night, at 8PM, there is a Stratics House of Commons chat with the EQ Developers.

If you have any questions that you'd like me to ask, please post them here. As always, please be concise and polite, so I can just cut and paste it. Again, as always, Ngreth, no peeking.

If you have non-tradeskill questions, I am happy to submit them as well, however, to keep this thread on topic (and to keep the mods happy), please PM them to me either here or on the SOE boards.

Sorry for the short notice, but I just found out about it.

[Maevenniia]

When will they give Ngreth a raise and a battalion of assistants to help him address his ever-growing to-do list?

[Elyssanda]

Address the issues of DON Cultural armor? Give us a FIRM timeline of something being done about it, not vague promises that lag now 3 or 4 expansions behind. Improve the droprate, or change the items.

[tnexus]

What tradeskills can we hope to see get some lovin in the next expansion?

(Oh comeon, we all know it's gonna exist.)

[uncleshmoozo]

The Make Poison Revamp -- Any chance of that happening during 2007?

[Ngreth Thergn]

Again, as always, Ngreth, no peeking.

I make no promises!

[Qqnaua]

Is there any possibility of making the bazaar searches available outside the bazaar? For example, so someone in PoK could quickly check to see if there were any buyers for tradeskill_item_001 instead of it being sold to a full merchant and getting destroyed.

[Aaneras]

Making the buyer function useful in the bazaar

Has any thought been given to increasing the functionality of the buyer feature in the bazaar? Since we get a message that 27 traders want to buy our items, would it be possible to reach a screen where we could find out what items people want to buy?

[Qaladar Bragollach]

Huh?

Whats wrong with the /barter window?

The message is misleading. The system is not scanning your items and comparing them to the Buyers' buy lines.

The message really should be changed to read:

"There are currently X Buyers that want to buy items"

(leave out "your")

[Posatrocible]

Regarding the bazaar again, is there any possibility in the future that a single character could have both /trader window and /buyer window active? Buying and selling simultaneously would sure be more efficient and more realistic.

Any chance we could get a search function for barter that allows you to search of the "tradeskill " tag too. often my barter search is ore then 200 items and unless I visit each buyer I never know what is wanted.

Hmm or apply the bazaar search to bater window?

I did recently change a bunch of items that were not, to show up in the "combinable" list. Unfortunately that only works for items that are also not food, drink, ammo, weapons, armor, etc. I.E. things that are not wearable or special consumables like food, drink, potions.

(the Item class was changed... for those parser folks... Item Class 11 is Misc, 17 is "consumable" I changed anything that was 11 that was used in trade-skills to 17)

I asked for a Trade-skill in the drop down, but I think it was given a very low priority.

I believe he (or she) is asking for the bazaar search functionality to apply for the barter screen. Currently, if you want to see WHAT people are buying (instead of searching for a single item), you can only see 200. There's no way to search by type or anything. It's ALL or a single item only.

[Bara]

Low priority or not; at least we know it was put in so there is a chance of eventualy having it. Thanks once again!
