WW UI Working as Intended?

So I unsubscribed for a month. Now I'm back and i17 has launched and for the past two weeks, Wentworth's UI has been extremely intractable, and I'm wondering if it's just me. . .

Since I've been back, they've released a patch that says it's supposed to fix the spam message (presumably from WW Overload), but neither before nor after that patch, since my return, have I received messages telling me that WW is too busy to process my request. Instead, if I'm bidding, cancelling, or just dragging and dropping into WW, more than half the time, I get no message at all (to indicate either success or failure), the UI appears to accept my action, and between 1 and 10 seconds later it's all undone.

I've learned simply to not believe that it happened until I get the message in my chat window that says "You have paid x to. ." or "You got x" or "You placed x." Eventually, it will go through, but I have to try over and over again, and it's really unpleasant. Pre-i17, at least I got the message telling me it was too busy and certain buttons would gray out. Now I can hit the 'bid' button 10 times in a row with no message, and no buttons graying out.

So is it just me, or is this a common problem?

Thanks!

I have experienced the random un-listing of items. Earlier today I put a number of recipes and crafted IO's on the market. I listed a recipe at 2 million influence. Next thing I know the recipe I was listing disappeared and the IO I had beneath it was sold at 2 million.

The recipe was back in my inventory and I undersold a IO by about 10 million inf.

So my theory is still that it's just me.

I'll give more folks time to respond, but if it turns out to be just me, now I have to figure out what that's a bug report or a petition or a tech support ticket. . . .

It's a common problem. And I think it was mentioned in the thread Panzerwaffen linked to, although the focus in that thread is on the UI itself.

Happens lots with me too. I've been able to buy other stuff and have things pop back in tray or interface minutes afterwards.

I was trying to buy things NAO last night and it took me a long long time with bids reversing, trying to get items that i managed to buy into my inventory.

Bug it.


I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.

Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.

So sad to be ending ):

The old market interface used to do this as well. Usually it affected everyone on at least a given server and one whole "side". (If WW was doing it, the BM wasn't necessarily). Usually this was an indication that something was wrong with some aspect of the market server backing that interface, or at least the game server's connection to it. Weekly maintenance usually fixed it, for example.

However, the new interface does it a lot more regularly to a lot more people, and the problem doesn't go away when they restart the game. It's affecting a lot of people.

Happens way too often to me and it better not be WAI because it stinks.


total kick to the gut

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

Good to know it's not just me. I'll /bug it.

I was getting worried with all this talk of greyed out buttons and ww overload messages that I've never seen. Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone!
