Vendor search is so bad

usernameusername Posts: 1,145
in General Discussions
I used to be able to do something like this and get results:
item name: ring
faster cast recovery 3
faster casting 1
mana regeneration
intelligence
lower reagent cost
not antique

But now the BEST I can do is 2 mods, without an item name, otherwise it fails 100% of the time.

How is vendor search getting worse???


@Kyronix fix your dumb game already please

    Vendor search does in fact decide on its own when to work. One character the search takes too long. So I search on another it works. Happens often, usually after 2-3 searches that work.

    Also - "bracelet" is a tag under equipment which in my experience is always the best option to use the menu options when possible. 

    That said, I do understand what you are saying and I typically will get this error when there are too many results to search through or return (ie a bracelet with 2 FCR). Perfect example here would be when I'm on ATL looking for a bracelet with the bare min stats of 25 DI / 15 HCI / 10 SSI... it comes back with this error like 9 out of 10 times bc there are tons of results. I will need to add another property (typically a stat like Strength) to help narrow the results. Now if I do this same exact search on a shard like Origin (min stats of 25 DI / 15 HCI / 10 SSI), I have no issues and it will return the handful of items...but typically I don't even get to the "search higher price items".

    Remind me to check those specific stats.  I'm back from vacation.

    OP is correct, the stat types make a difference. 

    But VS works for things like cubes, and other one or 2 name items.

    @Victim_Of_Siege you didn't use FC.  If you have time for prodo does that mean you have a bunch of NL pets u don't want?

    Look again, FC is there . . .  I see what you mean now, the search gave me "item not found", the ring i hit was one from the searchg without fc, i forgot it the first time.  it did complete the search with "no item found: in less than 20 seconds though. 

    I haven't played regularly on any shard since the grass stated growing. My days during the summer consist of Taking care of my elderly Parents, Running the Network/Line maintenance department of a large communcations company with 40 teammates under me, (usually a 10-12 hr commitment.) then i come home and fix/clean whatever is most pressing at the house, then head out and cut grass, trim trees, or whatever needs done on the families multiple cellular tower sites, then check with the wife on any needs for our store. and somewhere in there I eat, sleep. and do a little gaming (not much though). about the only pets i have on NL are normal everyday varity ones. but if you want a wyrm, mare or something like that, i'm your guy.  As soon as the grass stops growing, ill have a little more time.

    The result item does not have or I'm too sick to see it.

    May not be able to test tonight.  I became sick today. 
    Not many days go by that I don't turn my PC.

    As i edited the post, that was the result of me being tired. i forgot to hit FC the first time and when i did, it gave me no items meet search criteria or whatever it says and I missed it when i took the shot (went back and ran it again and saw it the second time but it did finish the search quickly) . here is a second multi-property search that went through.

    Oops, you selected the wrong mods after the search failed and you found a random bracelet that 'matched' to make it look like your search was successful. Search doesn't work with fewer mods, nor all of them, anyways. I even tried in the EC to see if there was some EC magic happening, nope.

    Yea, he just did a search and found jewel that "matched" it and then edited the parameters to make it look like it worked and took a screenshot. Oops, he forgot that mod wasn't on that item :D That's not what I'm asking for at all  :D


    Look I can do that too! My Air Elemental Slayer bracelet!

    Nope, i explained what i did. you can believe me or not, I Really don't care either way. you seem to have an agenda and will do whatever it take to bash the devs. VS works the majority of the time, but does have issues Atlantic at times, but those searches work like a champ on all the other shards I play. As has been stated, you have to use drop down selections and never type anything in the "item name" when searching Atlantic. It would be nice to have it perfect on Atlantic, but with the sheer amount of crap for sale on there, that may be difficult.

    Also, if even "The most basic of vendor searches cannot be performed" (your words), How did you get that left side of the screen, it sure looks like at least a basic search worked . . .

    The agenda is VS doesn't work for basic searches, as proven above with my searches that are not fudged with above, an it has in the past, and I want it fixed. A fixed game, yes, how delightful, where things actually work.

    Adding my 2 cents.

    VS has been working for me most of the time. When I get an error it is at the prime game time but it does not happen that often. If you have the option, then I suggest doing your shopping at the off hours. 

    They already upgraded the Atlantic server, I remember Kyronix said they were going to upgrade web/forum backend. May be they can upgrade the DB servers as well?

    There is a difference between "working" and finding specific searches, like above.

    Sure you can find simple stuff by name, like 'house teleporter' and will work 90% of the time, unless VS is down (which is often).

    However, that's not what's being discussed here. Doing more complex (or even simple) gear searches like the ones outlined in the rest of this post that used to work aren't possible anymore. These don't work, irrelevant of the time of day.

    My apologies for jumping the gun without understanding the issue.

    This is what I get when I run your query.
