Wentworth's Mobile

There needs to be a WW mobile so I can check my items at work.

That is all.

I'd love some kind of web interface that would let me at least look at my listings.

So. Totally. Signed.

I can understand having to actually go to WW to drop off or pick up the physical items, but being able to check sales and purchases or place actual bids would be so full of win.

Would be a huge QoL improvement for those of us that use the market a lot.

Please, devs? Pretty pretty please?

Never going to happen. Would discourage people from logging in.

Ooh, yeah, I totally misread the OP. I was thinking of an in-game method of checking on stuff without having to actually go to the WW building.

While I would definitely like to have an out-of-game method, I agree that it will never happen.

Would so sign on for this. I do about 90% of my forum work at work (hehe) so being about to pop in to check on my market item would just be awesome.

There is that blue Wentworths chat channel. You could put it in a separate tab so it doesn't get lost. Now it would be cool if they made it so it was a global chat sent to you and told you that you bought SoAndSo on ThatToon. That would be a great step in the right direction for me.

PS. I would love an off game interface somehow, I just expect it will never happen.

This works quite nicely, been doing it for a couple of months now.

But keep them paying the monthly fee. It's a win/win! I'd vote for it. Of course, I'd like the whole market interface to be so flexible that I could write a macro that made bajillions of influence for me while I slept, and I'm sure that will never happen.

Haha, an iPhone app would be awesome. Or an automated text messaging system. It would be so sweet to recieve a text at work, out on a date, at a baseball game etc... that said You have sold Miracle +recovery for 150,000,000. Imagine explaining that excitement to your first date haha.

What if she got a text at the same time saying she'd just bought a Miracle +recovery for 150,000,000? Would you fess up that you only paid 70,000,000 for it?

Mine does lots of other pretty neat stuff, but I haven't been able to activate this particular feature.

Is this a Beta feature in new Wife's? Or is mine bugged? Are you testing the new iWife, or did you jailbreak yours? Tell me how to configure mine to do this...

First, I would assume that it's the last date since both of you are bored enough to check your phones for market updates...

Next, seeing as what forum we are in.... You would have to tell her, and then collect her tears because they would be delicious...

LMAO at Gala. I had to try her beta on this first. I knew she could play the toons, but learn the market? Well, i had my doubts. After the closed beta, we had to have a couple patches before she went live. Since live, she's been pretty successful in WW. I can call in an order and before i get home, it's been placed and sometimes delivered.

Yours may be bugged. I'm not sure. But if you're willing to lend me her password, i'd be happy to test her settings for you and patch where neccesary.

In this mobile media craze, I'm really surprised NCSoft hasn't done more to tap that market.

I just posted in another thread that, for lack of a better word, a WW app would be fantastic and would give them another marketing opportunity for their other games, the ncstore, etc.

It would be fantastic to check on WW sales and place bids.

Heck it would be sweet to be able to look at badge progression, check your SG stats, etc. There's a lot of CoH features that just scream for mobile access.

And who wouldn't love a mobile version of Mids or the ability to log into chat channels?

I've always wondered why they never made a client just for chatting, whether mobile or not. Being able to chat at any given time or monitor a channel or two would only foster a better sense of community, which means people would want to hang around more.
