There's been a lot of talk about the marketplace lately. The issues with how it stands now:

Crippling bug involving (for example) loading the market at 4:59PM then purchasing an item at 5:01PM will result in a purchase of the new item that was loaded hourly.
Not enough variety of items.
Heavily exploitable by purchasing 100 cheap quest items (for example).

New idea:

7 completely random items (from the whole database) will be generated. Those items will stay until they are purchased, in which case, a new random item will replace it. This solution will remove all of the issues.

That sounds like an excellent idea. I'm all for it.

(I totally just bought 3 Spread Gun Falcons there haha)

edit: I'm not sure it's intentional or not, but the slot machine loads the items currently in the marketplace. Seems a little off if it's random generation.

Blackbird · « **Reply #2 on:** April 22, 2010, 10:42:05 AM »

I think that's a fantastic idea! Go right ahead with it.

This is next on my list to do, tonight I made significant changes on all instances of inventory, you will probably notice the speed improvements more than anything.

Inventory functionality now works on all pages that show your inventory (meaning the sorting/page ability). A long with this change comes to speed improvements I have also made on the Inventory page in specific, correct item #'s, how many you have in the set, and how many you have of the item itself.

Marketplace is in desperate need of new items PL0X

drath · « **Reply #5 on:** May 02, 2010, 10:49:25 AM »

Marketplace changes are now in place, try it out!

Jacq · « **Reply #6 on:** May 04, 2010, 10:29:55 AM »

So expensive! D:

drath · « **Reply #7 on:** May 04, 2010, 12:26:19 PM »

I have increased the buy/sell prices of the 4/5 rarities to better reflect their new actual rareness. I might increase some rewards on certain things to balance further.

drath · « **Reply #8 on:** August 10, 2010, 08:51:13 AM »

Fixed a recent bug where you could purchase stuff for cheaper than it was selling for. I think a good idea for the shop would be to limit to amount of rarity 4's and 5's that show up.

grover511 · « **Reply #9 on:** October 06, 2011, 06:50:12 PM »

Was the Marketplace updated today?

drath · « **Reply #10 on:** October 06, 2011, 09:47:44 PM »

Hehe, well it was reverted to back how it was supposed to be. Over time, some of the items were removed for some reason. Still looking to fix it

grover511 · « **Reply #11 on:** October 07, 2011, 04:05:46 AM »

Gotcha!

Czilla · « **Reply #12 on:** October 19, 2011, 05:12:52 AM »

Still see the whole marketplace is full of R4's n 5's and when its not its like R1's that rnt collectable for the item collector... </3

Czilla · « **Reply #13 on:** October 21, 2011, 01:04:34 PM »

Drath i think the marketplace should be refreshed every so often like 2xs a week cuz no1 wants to buy those R5's n R4's if we already have them since they pop up all the time

drath · « **Reply #14 on:** October 21, 2011, 03:20:59 PM »

I'm planning on some changes for the Marketplace. I don't want them refreshed because then people will just wait to get new things. I wanted people to buy to get new things - part of an economy thing. BUT, what I will do is make rarity 5's very very rare, and rarity 4's extremely rare to show up. Right now, is basically like a 20% chance for each. They will be more like 1% soon. I'll let you know when I make the change.

drath · « **Reply #15 on:** October 21, 2011, 04:18:47 PM »

Changed

chukboy · « **Reply #16 on:** November 11, 2011, 07:49:37 AM »

Right on. Lokk forward to the changes

Czilla · « **Reply #17 on:** November 11, 2011, 10:14:48 AM »

I say the marketplace needs to change once a week or something because everything is still the same whenever i look at it and no one wants to buy it

chukboy · « **Reply #18 on:** November 11, 2011, 12:03:30 PM »

I agree, marketplace items should change at least daily.

grover511 · « **Reply #19 on:** November 12, 2011, 10:19:34 AM »

Maybe not that often.

chukboy · « **Reply #20 on:** November 14, 2011, 06:45:01 AM »

If you are trying to build a collection it is very challenging, if the market place changed more often one could get a few items they were short on more often.

grover511 · « **Reply #21 on:** November 14, 2011, 02:35:13 PM »

Now that you mention that, I think that cycling the marketplace so often would actually unbalance the site a lot.

drath · « **Reply #22 on:** November 14, 2011, 03:03:51 PM »

Finally, somebody that sees my point

haha

Czilla · « **Reply #23 on:** November 15, 2011, 05:47:51 AM »

recycle the marketplace 2x a month or once a month?

drath · « **Reply #24 on:** November 15, 2011, 11:38:45 AM »

I think I have an idea. I am going to add a button to "Recall Stock" which will allow players to randomly re-stock the mall. This will come with a price tag of course to balance it out. Level 4 and 5's will still be as rare.

grover511 · « **Reply #25 on:** November 16, 2011, 09:12:49 AM »

chukboy · « **Reply #26 on:** November 21, 2011, 09:22:35 PM »

I like that idea too.

chukboy · « **Reply #27 on:** May 16, 2012, 09:52:59 AM »

Drath, what do you think of having the odd magical item appear in the marketplace?

chukboy · « **Reply #28 on:** May 16, 2012, 11:19:30 AM »

Also I just noticed the prices vary at different times of the day? Has this always been like this?

drath · « **Reply #29 on:** May 16, 2012, 12:28:35 PM »

It sure has

Renegade · « **Reply #30 on:** May 17, 2012, 07:56:10 PM »

I'm liking the sounds of all these recent/future tweaks. Keep it up drath!

drath · « **Reply #31 on:** May 19, 2012, 01:58:46 AM »

Recalling the stock functionality has been added.

chukboy · « **Reply #32 on:** May 19, 2012, 03:10:13 AM »

Cool, I like it.

NippleHair · « **Reply #33 on:** May 23, 2012, 09:48:26 AM »

When you recall the stock, you should get the items recalled.. Good idea?

Not for $5000

grover511 · « **Reply #35 on:** May 23, 2012, 11:31:54 AM »

How about a "buy all" option?

101jokes · « **Reply #36 on:** May 28, 2012, 09:15:30 AM »

could you add a random item button for 5000 gold

grover511 · « **Reply #37 on:** May 30, 2012, 12:33:12 AM »

^ I actually like that idea.

101jokes · « **Reply #38 on:** May 30, 2012, 08:24:48 AM »

could you delete the recall button and add a buy random item button because recalling the stock does not give you the items you even want but sometimes when the random item button is up you can click the button and it gives you a item my click on the random item button for 5000 gold pieces

101jokes · « **Reply #39 on:** May 30, 2012, 09:01:39 AM »

+ 1 player only recalled the stock

DAISYBOY · « **Reply #40 on:** June 02, 2012, 11:37:14 AM »

that idea is great

DAISYBOY · « **Reply #41 on:** June 02, 2012, 11:37:57 AM »

101jokes its a great idea

101jokes · « **Reply #42 on:** June 04, 2012, 08:06:00 AM »

Recalling the stock is pretty much not a good idea 1 person agreed with my idea with buying a random item button I pretty much dislike the idea recalling the stock because its boring and not fun but the random item button will only cost 2500 gold 2500 less then recalling the stock.

drath · « **Reply #43 on:** June 04, 2012, 08:42:22 AM »

I have added the "Surprise Bag" idea to the to-do list.

101jokes · « **Reply #44 on:** June 04, 2012, 05:00:46 PM »

Whats the surprise bag?

drath · « **Reply #45 on:** June 04, 2012, 07:08:24 PM »

That's the name I am giving the idea suggested. Basically you buy a surprise bag from the marketplace, and inside is a random item.

101jokes · « **Reply #46 on:** June 05, 2012, 07:44:11 AM »

How much will it cost?

1King2A3 · « **Reply #47 on:** June 14, 2012, 08:06:35 PM »

What about something similar for the seeker of the rare, like a skip button that costs you the value of the current item?

OgStroshine · « **Reply #48 on:** June 15, 2012, 03:48:50 PM »

Or it costs whatever the rarity is x1000 like r5 would be 5000 gold to skip

123456789 · « **Reply #49 on:** June 21, 2012, 12:56:02 PM »

Could you trade in the marketplace Example: When you want to sell an item you can sell the item or trade with a player and when you sell a 1-up or any different item to the player the player has to choose a item for the player the player gets the item whatever the player gives to the player and the player that wanted to trade will get that item from the other player.

123456789 · « **Reply #50 on:** June 26, 2012, 09:33:18 AM »

Recalling the stock is not a really good idea only Renegade recalls the stock a lot
