Vendor search completely broken

usernameusername Posts: 1,184
edited October 7 in General Discussions
On Atlantic, any new item put on an auction safe or vendor is not showing up. I was told this by a guild mate and have verified it myself. I put two things on safes and two more on two separate vendors and almost 24 hours later none are showing up on vendor search. I have tried to remove them and put them up again today and still after a few hours still not showing up.

Would be nice if they took a few moments to address the failed vendor search on Atlantic instead of jamming another ToT down our throat in record time mind you. Going on 6 years of vendor search being incredibly broken at the best of times  :*

    Confirmed. My vendors are not updated after restock this morning.

    Yeah, I'm filtering out brittle but still getting brittle items in the results. Looks like we'll have to go back to the old days of running around looking for vendors.

    This can be frustrating but it's really an Atlantic problem that rarely affects me (only on monthly shopping trips) and doesn't deserve any real developers time

    What an odd thing to say considering Atlantic is the only server that matters.

    Yes - we are aware of the issue and the database will be reset to improve performance.  

    @username What search queries were you running that were not returning results?

    Any search with a keyword doesn't work for me, from veteran rewards, artifacts, imbuing ingredients. Again, this is only thing that have been newly put on vendors/safes since Monday morning will not show up. Things that have been listed before Monday morning are still showing (if they haven't sold).

    This issue should be resolved, please let us know if you encounter further problems.

    Looks like they took a few moments.  Too bad the OP can't be a more pleasant poster about things.
    Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.

    I wish I could confirm/deny for you but I've either gotten failed searches or search has been down for the last hour so I give up.

    We will be preforming DB maintenance when Publish 121 goes WW - barring any major issues with the pre-release shards we expect that to happen on Tuesday.

    Anything you can do this afternoon to get it working before that DB maintenance would be great. Waiting till Tuesday after it's already been broken 4 days is criminal

    You can try opting out and opting back in, and that will help get your vendor back in the search.  This may take some time.  Ultimately we need to upgrade the hardware that vendor search is running on, and that work is slated with our platforms team in 2026.  Thank you!

    To anyone thinking about trying this, don't bother, it doesn't help. Nothing helps. We will have to wait out all 10 days until Tuesday for a 'fix' apparently. Unacceptable in any other game, but this is UO. Would be nice to get credited 10 days of game time for this.

    I want to give an update: something ticked over in the last ~30 minutes and I was able to get a new things to show on VS. Or maybe I got the 1 in a million lucky.

    you are the only Luck 1...

    I just want to express my frustration about the Vendor Search system right now.

    I have vendors placed on Pacific, Napa, Baja, and Chesapeake since Monday, and none of my items are showing on VS, no matter what I try.


    I’ve already done everything possible:

    • Moved vendors between facets

    • Opted in and out of VS multiple times

    • Repriced items

    • Even replaced vendors completely

    Still, nothing shows up on Vendor Search.

    This is extremely frustrating because I’m losing over a week of my paid accounts, which I rely on to make gold. It’s not fair that something outside of my control is preventing my vendors from being visible.

    and TBH, the last few msgs from the Devs about this, is not looking good:

    • Yes - we are aware of the issue and the database will be reset to improve performance.  
    • This issue should be resolved, please let us know if you encounter further problems.
    • it should bounce back, we'll need to run some maintenance with the new publish as well
    • We will be preforming DB maintenance when Publish 121 goes WW - barring any major issues with the pre-release shards we expect that to happen on Tuesday.
    • Regarding VS it's going to require a restart once we get Publish 121 WW, which barring major issues with the pre-launch shards should be Tuesday.  In the meantime engineering is looking at alternative solutions.

    Lets see IF after the publish this is resolved or what the next excuse will be.

    Are you paying your sub with InGame gold?
    Not an affiliate?

    Then what is the problem?

    You are gonna be able to sell those items soon enough.
    Have you try Britain Bank or the market chat?


    PS: as it mention up there.. you already know what the next problem "excuse" is going to be, if there is one.. Upgrading the hardware in 2026.
    So rather than recognise the effort the botters went to, to set all that up - for the benefit of the players, to help get certain items, something you could never be bothered to do, you would rather drag people backwards to your neanderthal world?

    Leave attended paying accounts alone, these people go thru a lot of trouble to automate the game.

    It’s comical to me you are so frightened of somehow bod scripters get some sort of advantage.
