Title: Better way to scroll through merchant stock
Post by: .WarChanges on September 21, 2010, 01:38:06 pm
Now this isn't going to be one of my lengthy posts as it is a fairly straightforward suggestion. When buying from merchants, instead of having the impossible task of scrolling down 1000 Mauser pistols to get to the decent weapons in less than 30 seconds why not just create a system where you can specifically ask to see a certain weapon. Mabye you could type into the 'say' box something such as 'Rifle' and you would get the sniper and assualt rifles or even just 'assault rifle' and be specific.

I'm sure there are other easier and more logical ways of finding the weapons you want then searching through the 1000s of items in less than 30 seconds. Thank god there is catagorizing in the first place!  :)

But it could use improvements.

Yes thats a good idea, or better - make more filters for guns -> melee, small guns, etc..

While you're at that, do the same for the misc. category at the right.
Having to browse through so many radios in order to find things needed is annoying.

I just sometimes find that when scrolling through stock I can't even reach the bottom of the weapons pile, let alone make a transaction!
Who knows what goodies are lying at the bottom of merchants stocks...

People.... USE YOUR IMAGINATION!!!

every time the timer is about to reach 0 give the merchant a bullet or a cap for free and reset your Timer....  Bloody easy and simple solution.

Radio is in category "others" and that should enough.

Also, if you keep running out of time. You can raise your barter skill.

Or hold shift and scroll.

Yeah try to find anything in this radio flood Sha Enin has. :) Was just a "joke" but i guess it was a bad one.

Anyway making separate buttons for SG, BG, EW, Melee and Unarmed seems good idea. Was thinking bout this suggestion for some time actually.
It should be easy to implement i guess.

why not just add 4 extra categories in the filter that can be combined with the current ones....?

Tier 0
Tier 1
Tier 2
Tier 3  & Above

This suggestion seems to me little bit like straightener on bender. xD Primary there should be imroved some mechanism which would prevent filling traders with tons of bulshit. Weather it is not buying plentifull stuff or faster changing old stuff to caps. Second one would also solve the shortage of caps in world.

The wholepoint of the clutter and bs is to get you to pump pointsinto barter skill folks.
