In Publish 9, we published a new commodities server back end to improve the bazaar and vendor responsiveness. Activities such as retrieving goods, buying goods, selling items and other activities should perform better.

The thing you should notice is that the commodities markets should be faster and more stable.

Is this what you are finding?

Note: We had one item with the bazaar that will be hot fixed on Friday (Today) that pertains to auction listings and listing items your items on the bazaar and we look forward to hearing from you on that issue as well.

Auction Listings

With the new commodity server “back-end”, there was an issue with listing resource items and being able to identify the resource information.

Resource containers placed on the bazaar prior to Tuesday’s Publish (#9) will be fixed on Friday July, 2nd. Any items placed on the bazaar between Tuesday’s Publish and Friday morning can never be automatically fixed. They will have to be un-listed and then re-listed by the auction owner.

I've had excellent experiences thus far, thank you for the improvement.

I will reserve my comments until the name and qty issues are fixed.

As far as I'm concerned, all 'commodities trading' is broken and mostly useless until SOMEONE looks at my In Concept posts regarding a PROPER commodities trading system.

Fix the resource markets!

Definitely much improved, even on Bria's monster database it is very noticeable!!

Also, the auto retrieve seems to be working a whole bunch better but if I retrieve a bunch of items (like 10) very quickly it seems to miss 1 or 2 even with room in my inventory.

Hmm, hadn't really thought about it until I read this, but I used the bazaar in Bestine next to the Starport yesterday, movement etc was laggy as hell but the bazaar ran nice and smooth. So I guess it worked

Working great for me, love the imrpoved auto retrieve on items you've bought

Some of my pet peeve bugs:
•Armorsmith protection layers were not converted with the CU.
•Ship Details window does not close when you click "Travel" resulting in the message "You have lost the target. Closing interface."

I'm impressed with the speed! The bazaar is sooooooo much faster. Mega props. The only hangup is the item listing fix. Once that's done, voila. 100% better.
