Hoi,

there are a few reasons why i definitly DONT like this update:

First:
when i want to check the resources that are offered to my vendors or check whats for sale the name and amount is not there anymore.
Before there stood for example
Egg (Obot) 421
Egg (Seapo) 39
Egg (Iliod) 1289
and now its
Egg
Egg
Egg

Very funny.
ever tryed to find a particular stack if you have at the first page already a dozen time "Isekt meat" ? Without name and amount ??

And when i want to check if my suppliers calculate the correct price i have to open the offer also. No name of the resource and no amount there also.
That HORRIBLE

Second: before i had to click 3 times to accept a bit:
Mark it
click buy
click yes

Now its great:
I have to mark it.
Click buy
ckick yes
then SWG tells me that i purchased the item and that it will go into my inventory or that i have to travel to the vendor to retrieve it.
And then its not done - no: when the vendor is out of range (and i often buy stuff from my vendor on Dant when i am on Tat) it also tells me AFTER the window with the "in order to retrieve the item you have to travel there" that icant retrieved it because the vendor is not here. Of course i have to accept that window also. it dont close by itself...

Great. Now it took LONGER then before to accept an offer. I have to open it to check the price (that means more clicking) and then more clicks till i finaly have the stuff...

I thought updates are for making things better then worser .. ?

Obviously this is one of those "issues" that escaped their notice because everyone was too busy playing with Jedi.

Its the same way in the bazaar as for vendors, Just type of resource, no name, no AMMOUNT. I thought this was just a fluke because At times I've gotten messages that "Iron" has fallen off the vendor from not being purchased, but no, after removing it, and putting it back up for sale, Its still stupid old "iron".

I daresay I hope I don't have to start putting resources in bags so I can at least have what they are visible.

How do you make something faster? You decrease the amount of data it stores and returns. I hope and pray it is a mistake and they fix it soon. But, it is possible that some guy was told to make the bazaar system faster, and the only way he could do it was to drop the detail.

This is so stupid that it have to be an error.

Let's hope so. I'm not holding my breath -- I too think this is the "response time" improvement -- it improves response times by making sure *nobody* shops for resources at the bazaar or at vendors. The spaceport-spamming resource salesmen will be happy though. Feh. :/

I am a bit concerned that it is a performance fix - ie if they are loading less info it loads faster. However I would rather not have description on and have name - type and amount versus the other way around. Also concerned about timeframe to get it fixed. One of my characters Master Tailor and the necklace bug has never been touched.

Hoi PoilDeCarotte,

I hope the problem with the name / amount is a bug.
But i am not sure the second point i mentioned is called a bug by SOE also... But it nearly doubles the time i need to buy the offers at my vendors (if i dont price check)...

So half of the publish will maybe stay after they fix the first (hopefully) bug.

Best
Beli
