[IDEA] Add ask values to the bid page

by **Panagouge** » Sun Oct 10, 2021 6:31 pm

Whenever I go to my bids to see if there are any favorable aks on them, it is annoying to have to individually click on each card individually. My proposition is simple: add a column of ask values to the bid page. This has been implemented in the auction, deck value, and collection value pages.

As such, the code most certainly exists already, waiting to be transferred. I wouldn't be opposed to making it a toggle feature. If supported, the implementation ought to be simple (read: a headache for Fris to copy and paste the code all while debugging).

I've asked for this before, and got no traction. Get some support here and maybe I can try again.

I'm a moderator, not an admin. I don't code.

You mean this page?

Sounds like a good idea to make life easier.

Correct.

I support this idea. Many players use place-holder bids to keep a bookmark of sorts on cards they want to collect. I utilise the bids page to keep track of these myself. I can understand, however, if there is a watch-list or other wish-list type of mechanic being debated, that this would not be as useful in that situation. But with what exists right now, I fully support this.

Also support.

When I was building the ultra-rare collections, I had standing bids on all missing cards. I placed these bids when no asks existed, however over time that changed. The cards eventually had sellers who placed standing asks at sometimes only a few cents higher. That is obviously a development I would like to know about rather than just thinking the cards either don't exist or all parties are unwilling to sell. There was no way to know these asks existed unless I clicked through all cards' pages which had my bids. This amounted to several hundred at the point where the cards were no longer often matched.

At high quantities of bids, it becomes very silly not to have it.

I have a half baked code that manually checks but is incredibly slow and for some reason likes to check double the price rather then the amount I put in. So long story short I support this as it would make finishing up my all commons collection so much more doable considering I still have 5-10k cards to go

I have been asked to support this even though at this early hour of the morning and with my ancient brain I'm not quite certain what it is. Nevertheless, I trust my fellow card players that this is a good idea.

Support.

I see no downsides. When completing collections I usually open the page for every card and check if there are any new asks, then manually copy the information into spreadsheets. This would both streamline the process and potentially lower server load.

I wholeheartedly support this!

Support as well, as I experienced a similar situation as what Refuge and 9003 explained here when going for large collections too, such as my TWP regional collection. I don't see downsides, it would help any player that seeks cards, small or large. We already sort of have this for asks since asks are obviously cards we own and those can be seen in the deck value list, but not for bids since those are usually cards we don't own, save when mass-buying a card.

This has now been implemented.

One oddity is filters don't work right now. That shows blank but it should show many!

EDIT:
S2 filter does not work right the rarity ones do.

Thanks for the support everyone, and cheers to Fris for convincing the admins!

I concur that the rarity filters work, but the season ones do not.

Bug reports don't need support posts. I've already posted it for admin attention.

Season filters should work again now.

Good change. Thanks for the fast addition Fris/admin.

Awesome change!
Good to see small QOL things are still being added to Cards :bow:
