Shadowlands server

 

When you search for this jetpack it shows up, BUT not all of them show up. Going through the hundreds of pages just on mount selection I found several of the jetpacks that were not listed when I searched for the item specifically.

I'm glad you guys are looking into this but really, that's all you got? Your full theory is basically just what everyone has already been telling you for weeks. Things can't be searched but can be found in the full list, the items seem to be random and change when the server restarts, and the items are different per server. We knew this.

 

Also, I know that you're not technical, nor are you trying to address us with the technical details, but describing it as a "pulling a random selection of items which cannot be searched" sounds completely backwards. Unless you guys have an exclusion list that's being improperly populated for some reason. More likely my guess would be that when the server is pulling in the index of items for searching it's somehow missing a bunch of stuff. Could be as simple as a call to the database that returns an unordered set of items, and for some reason it's being truncated.

 

this to me seems exactly whats going on a database of items that sis not being called upon when searching so when you list the item in the GTN it will show if it is in one Database but if it is in the other not so much - tbh it could be as simple as the Database is labelled wrong so it dosent know to pull it or the database name isnt on the list for searching utility packets - could u imagine f this whole issue is the items names have "_" in them and the ID has Spaces xD

That's it. The incompetence the devs have for this game is something I've never seen in any MMO that I've played before. This bug has been going on for 6 weeks and just now they've noticed it. If I were in charge of Bioware, I'd replace the whole dev team. I do not plan on resubbing at the end of this month, unless there are some major changes on the devs side of things.

Shadowlands:

 

It seems here only some of the speeders are broken, at least from all the things that everyone posted, everything else can be searched here by name-which is wierd-yes mk-8 kits can be searched too, even if you type in the whole name.

The ones that are deffinietly broken:

 

MSM JT-9 Jetpack-there are a million of these on the GTN if you look under mounts, but when you search by name none show up

Jungle Gundark

dasta colossus

hyrotii racer

moonlight vrake

roche ice cat

 

this is after 15 pages of speeder out of 204, when i am more in the mood i will continue.

 

BTW, maybe its just a typo here, but :

 

Encased Warhead Sockpile-should be stockpile

and from one of the first posts: Upari Artifice Bonded Atachement-should be attachment, no e before the m, and 2 t's

 

not saying that they couldn't be broken, but maybe it was a typo on GTN too

Harbinger server:

 

Few quickies from what I've listed this morning...

 

Medium Orange and Light Green Dye Module

Juvenile Krayt Trophy

Planetary Holo Map (Ilum)

 

Not sure of the dye but the other 2 were working prior to the patch. I'll list other items as I come across them.

Unsearchable on The Shadowlands:

 

Ruusan Crystal

Enigmatic Artifact Fragment

Opila Crystal

Nextor Crystal

Red Lucent Crystal

Green Lucent Crystal

Blue Lucent Crystal

Marilite

Nova Crystal

Bio-Mechanical Interface Chip

 

Testing Methods:

--Shift-clicking the item name into the search field from either the artifice crew skill window or from my inventory

--Typing a partial name of at least four characters (ie: "nova" "blue" "chip" etc)

--Confirmed these items are actually for sale by digging through the crafting materials section for archaeology, treasure hunting, or slicing

 

(If I've made any typos in the list above, they're simply transcription errors in this post, as I used a variety of search terms for each item before declaring them unsearchable.)

The Harbringer

 

Augmentation Kit MK-8 (Haven't been able to search for them since 4.0.3 and still missing from search today)

Augmentation Kit MK-7

Augmentation Kit MK-6

Outlander Observer (Upper, Lower, Supplemental) Body Armor

Overwatch Enforcer (Upper, Lower, Supplemental) Body Armor

Anything with the word 'of' in the name doesn't even allow for the search button to be pressed. Not enough characters in the word?

 

 

 

A couple of ongoing observations, though haven't tested them out much today...

 

Crafting materials/crafted items requiring 350+ crafting/gathering/missions feel like they have a higher chance of not showing up on a GTN search.

Cartel Market items that were introduced after 4.0.2 have a higher chance of not showing up with the search.

Partial name searching does not yield a search result on items that do not pull up when a full name search is performed.

After server restart, some items show up for a couple of days and then stop being searchable.

The items that do not appear searchable, between server restarts, appear to be consistent (even the ones that fall into the category of what I mentioned above that stop being searchable after a few days)

Wouldn't be easier for you to compare the code from before and after the bug?

Or maybe look in whatever system you use for entries related to changes in gtn code between before and after the bug?

Hopefully you have this kind of system in place, small and medium open source projects written by a single person already have them. So if you don't, it might be a good opportunity to convince the people upstairs to migrate to a system of your choice, that you can use to track and control changes in code.
