Hating the new market interface so far...

Also can search "Invention:" to get them. Don't forget the :

After weeks of tinkering w/the new UI, I've mostly gotten used to the crappy, unintuitive, inefficient new system. That the devs simply ignore this thread convinces me we're stuck with the PoS, so may as well live with it. With that said, can they PLEASE freakin save our UI options? Because I really have nothing better to do than uncheck that "autocomplete" Every. Freakin. Time. I log in. Or the various unhelpful warnings every time I try to drop something into the market. Yeah, I know I can use that Boresight to craft a memorized recipe; I still wanna dump it.

I know I'm repeating myself, but sweet jebus, this is getting old resetting those options Every. F*cking. Time. I. Log. In.

So I just came back after 6 months of absence. Some cool things happened. Ultra Mode is neat, even if I can only halfway run it, mailing inf became a reality (**** YEAH!). Some sad things happened, like BotZ getting the nerf hammer and Regen Tissues becoming immune to enhancement.

And then other things just... happened. Case in point? The new Martket UI. I've only used it for a few hours so far, but I don't think it's actually better than the old one. It fixes a whole load of things that sucked, but then broke other things in new and interesting ways.

The main things that really needs fixing is the amount of inf to bid/offer area and the number of items area. Having to click, backspace the previous amount away and then retype the new amount is tedious. Why don't they work like the search field? One click, start typing.

I've gotten used to it, but they could of just kept the old UI and just fixed the enhancement categories to be in ABC order.

Not being able to right-click and get info on a piece of salvage in the market interface (not in my own inventory) to see which of my current recipes require it is a bit of a pain. The way I used to shop for salvage is that I would start at the top of my recipe inventory, look for the first piece of salvage needed in the invention salvage node, then get info, and see how many more recipes needed that piece. Then repeat as I progress down. Instead, I have to go through the entire list of recipes and count up how many pieces I need, rather than having the game do it for me.

Or you could put the recipes you plan to build in storage, click on them, click "Find", click the link that says "find salvage for this recipe" or something like that, and get all the salvage you need that way. Much faster than the old way. All we need now is to be able to do the same without removing the recipes from our inventory.

Yes, there is the Find Salvage option, but that doesn't help me determine whether I need I just the one Alchemical Silver for this recipe, or to buy 4 total to cover the other 3 recipes I have that also need it.

If we're talking about actual workflow improvements, it would be ideal to be able to select a group of recipes and generate a shopping list in the upper right hand pane containing each salvage item needed to craft all the recipes in the group, with the amount to buy equal to the number needed less the number in inventory. Also: switch between looking at the recipe and the corresponding crafted item in one action. The main difference between these recommendations and the changes that were made is that my recommendations are based on things that I actually do at the market.

I totally get why they never post in here- they know we're right about the markets and they're avoiding the forum trap of trying to defend a ridiculous position.

I just scanned the tags for this thread and got a hearty laugh.


TY to all who contributed.

The persistent bid amount hasn't bothered me so far, perhaps because of a habit I have from using other forms on the web for years. When I select the amount window with the intent of entering a new value I habitually click+drag, selecting the existing value, and then type in the new value over it.

As I say, it's already a habit from using other web forms and search engines, so similar habits may have been why the devs didn't see this as a problem. For me, the persistence is a time-saver since I tend to make bids in bulk.

I will admit that the new UI has taken time to adjust to, but at this point I feel it solves more problems and adds more desired features than it breaks. This kind of change is rarely welcome, as we've all gotten comfortable with what we knew, but I think that new players will find the current WW UI easier to grok than the original.
