After 7 days. How in the heck did you have like 6 orders waiting for pick up! That's been my question for quite a while.

So in that line of thought. Could we get some kind of timer or something? :D

^ expiration timer would be pretty useful.

similar to the order countdown timer, but there would have to be a distinction made between your order has arrived and is expiring within a certain amount of time and your order is arriving with a certain amount of time.

yeah, I don't often order stuff but an expiration timer would be useful.

i was thinking along the lines of a colour difference, but that could probably work i guess in addition to the number showing up next to the showroom link

What's the rationale behind having ordered stuff disappear anyway? I mean, arrived stuff contributes towards your ordered list, so it's not like you could order a whole set before buying it or something.

Same reason fight logs are deleted after 24 hours.

No reason to keep that information if it's not needed/wanted.

heck... its PAID for! :D Make a small fee per day... or something? I just started ordering for 2+ days... so things would get here in time and stay a it longer so I don't lose them. :D Kind of killed the 1day ordering idea for me.

Would that reason be "they're not?" Because they, as a matter of fact, are not.

My rationale for having completed orders expire was to not have the orders table in the database grow unbounded. Alan is right that this is similar to the idea of only keeping fight history around for 7 days (I'm sure that's what he meant). It's also why clan journal events disappear after 7 days, etc. Without expiration, over time, there would be a lot of orders that were never picked up sitting in the table, so this just keeps it lean. In reality it's not a lot of data though, so I'll bump the expiration time up to 30 days and will add a countdown similar to the one that shows when it will be available for pickup. This is a small change so I will try to do it today (can't right now because I'm about to head into work).

Also in the Trophy page you have not added the hint/explanation for dark energy and mindreave.

How od you have multiple orders? Everytime I try it always says you have one order alreday, basically.

I suspect you order uniques Trio, you can only order one of those at a time.

Non-uniques you can order up to 6 (depending on how many stars you have).

They've actually always appeared in the order they were placed in. So if you ordered item A on 2-day, then item B on 1-day, you would see pending item A in the list before arrived item B. I just changed it to order by arrival time instead.

(though this makes it potentially confusing in that it's now possible for a new order to be inserted in the middle of the list)

Also in the Trophy page you have not added the hint/explanation for dark energy and mindreave.

Thanks, I added one for energy. (not mindreave since it lists effects, not buffs)

Ms. Rose is correct - you can order multiple non-uniques.

Experience - Increases the amount of experience gained from trainers and other players.

Regarding Mindreave buff, you should change to "Increases or decreases..."

I changed the wording around for all effect descriptions.

So I just tried placing an order for a weapon with a unique armor order ready for pick up. Are weapons (or weapons & shields) counted as uniques?


 
shoyuken [147]

weapons are non-uniques and you are only allowed to place 1 order at a time with a unique with 3+ stars. Until you clear out your order you can't order anymore equips

By clearing out the order, i meant 'pick-up' or cancel the order if it is still pending

Depending on the max cap of non-uniques you can order based on your number of stars. You can keep ordering non-uniques as long as you don't hit the max cap of non-uniques pending/ready for pickup and a shield also counts as non-unique

Sory, I'm pretty cluelesss about how to get multiplt orders, just about the only thing in the game I don't know how to do.

So since I have an order ready for pick up I can't place any more order until I buy it? So I need to place all my orders before one becomes ready for pick up?


 
shoyuken [147]
2012-05-28 15:53:27 🔗

Since you have 9+ stars, you can order the following possibilities:

- 1 unique (can't order anymore until the unique is purchased)
- 6 nonuniques (can't order anymore)
- 5 nonuniques (can order 1 more nonunique)
- 4 nonuniques (can order 2 more nonunique)
- 3 nonuniques (can order 3 more nonunique)
- 2 nonuniques (can order 4 more nonunique)
- 1 nonuniques (can order 5 more nonunique)

Darn, so I can't have six non uniques and 1 unique orderd at the same time? The uniques are always counted first

Right, if you have a unique order placed (regardless of whether it's already available or not), you can't place any additional orders.
