[UI] An Auction Timer ingame (Your bids)

What is it?

a new functional icon on the game that is placed on your icon bar with all your P.E.T icon, Minimap icon, star system etc.

What does it do?

When you click on the icon, a small window will appear on your screen, displaying all your current bids on the auction and with the amount of credits you bid.

Why are you suggesting it?

Because im too lazy to reload my backpage again and again, especially for those who has slow internet connection, it will load slower, and it can affect to that player if he wins or not on an item he is trying to bid.

Anything else?

Nope, no more.

 

The thought is nice, but lets go one better, make the Auction a real time page. The timer keeps running so why can't the page be updated as new bids are made.

This is a 2 fold solution;

1. It prevents us from being told we did not bid high enough as we scroll through the page to select the item we want to bid on.
2. It prevents us from having to refresh the page all the time and, as you say dealing with the lag, wasting time for the page to reset.

I think in-game notifications of any type would just draw more attention to the Auction and people would use the notification system as a reminder to hit the Auction as it is winding down causing the lucky bidder to not be so lucky.

 

Im sorry, but unfortunately the thing you are saying might be impossible, backpage is the backbone of the game, if you remove something from the backpage and put it ingame as a new functional Hud, the game might eat more of your computer's cpu thus slowing the game than the normal pace it should be, and also Devs would have a lot of work to do such thing.

i am in favor of your idea btw

 

I like the idea but agree with°°ºŞÎ|ΣŊ†►◄WΔlk€Яº° even a simple timer would be nice since i get to doing something and before i know it the auction is over

but then for a couple dollars i could buy one that is if i'm not doing something else at the same time.

 

A timer by itself would be great. I have gotten where I set alarms on my tablet. I have one for every server since they are offset and I don't want to have to reset an alarm based on what server I am on. Now if only I would turn on the alarm. LOL Players get busy grinding, and something that says, its almost time would help you to stop and check what you have going on. In my case, I get in the middle of something big and even with the alarm set 5 min out may miss the end of the auction.
