The "These things about livegamer need to be fixed/changed" thread

[Blueberry]

Alright since Livegamer is finally out, here are the things I've noticed in the little bit of time i've spent on it. If I'm incorrect about anything, please let me know.



1. It does not tell you on the front page what server ANYTHING is being sold on. You have to click each link to see where it's being sold. There needs to be a separation of the two servers on the auction site.

2. No listing price = retards putting retarded amounts up for sale. OMG 99 GOLD 5 DOLLA GOOD DEAL! The listing fee kept most people from posting stupid shit, or their lvl 30 alts because nobody buys that shit anyway/

3. The character information screen is fucking god awful. Cluttered, jumbled, no real solid information of what the toon is wearing. Probably the most hideous jumble of shit i've seen on an auction site.

4. Character LEVEL's arent even listed on the front page, just price and class.

5. I don't really like that it lists your user name at all. Shouldn't matter what your name is, just what you are selling. Leaves it too open for fraud, or people targeting certain people, buying shit, then not paying.

6. Spell list doesn't even list level...

7. You can cancel your auction even 12+ hours later. That's just retarded as hell.

I gotta agree with all this. They take an extra fucking what, 15 days? And still make it to where if you wanna search for example: 80 warden on the bazaar, you have to click wardens tab, then click EVERY auction to find out what server it's from/what lvl it is? Fuck that lol

By this, to clarify, I mean if you click on a character it just lists a jumble of spells with no level indicator.


ALSO.

8. Where the hell are the tradeskill levels? Transmuting/tinkering levels? WHISKY TANGO FOXTROT LIVEGAMER?!

Basically it went like this:

March 24th: SE prepares to shut down, while Livegamer does ZERO preparation for the upcoming release.

March 27th: SE shuts down to implement Livegamer, while Livegamer does ZERO preparation for the upcoming release.

March 31st: Livegamer goes to open back up, but realizes they did ZERO preparation for the upcoming release, and can't go live.

April 1st - April 14th: Live gamer hurries to catch up on preparations for the past due release and doesn't have enough time to fit simple things in, like Lvls of characters, tradeskill lvls, and pretty much everything that Blue named.

April 15th: They release a broken and ass-backwards program, just like SOE does with all their content.

[Brailyn]

you can filter out vox, if at the top you "platinum, coin, the bazaar" its a hassle, but just sayin


edit: blue you should have added into the number, that along with people listing 99 gold for 5 bucks, and other dumb autions, that sellers are fucking themselves over on future market fluxes, with starting LOW on day 0.3 - Shoulda taken my advice

SOE may do that shit with the game content but seeing this shit from Livegamer does give you a whole new respect for how they (SOE) orginally designed the Exchange site. At least it work (for the most part) and it was easy to find what you were looking for.

BTW Livegamer, how could you have the complete template for SOEs Exchange and try to pass this shit off to us with not even half the features we'd grown use to? How fucking hard would it of been to just host the orginal Exchange site/program on your servers as is and build from there? You think this shit your putting out is somehow better?

And to SOE WTF were you guys thinking outsourcing to this piss-poor excuse of a company in the first place. Forget the fact they currently don't have their system implemented in another game and have no track record at all in RMT. Did you not even look at a demo of what they planned to do before signing the contract with them? Or did the guys giving the orginal presentation go around the table in the boardroom sucking you all off right before the owner of Livegamer tossed Smed's salad and put a pen in his hand to sign?

Boy that must have been an interesting meeting....

[Blueberry]

lol someone sounds a bit angry.

[Revel]

Yeah, basically the website interface is much worse than the old station exchange.

The lag for the site is horrible for me, and that's what stood out the most.

It doesn't list all the items you have, nor titles, nor even hints at levels/tradeskills/achievements as was mentioned.

There's no sense in the way they listed the spell order, at least be alphabetical? But it's just a jumble.

[Blueberry]

Yep. Whats sad is they could have just used the OLD interface, then made IMPROVEMENTS on it, like listing tinkering/transmuting. sad that i have to LOOK UP a character on eq2players to actually find information.
