Trading - are you guys kidding right?

So, go acquire NPC, talk to NPC, put item. ok

Who wants to buy, have to go on website, then go in game, then .. then..


You guys really smoke something hard, that can be found only in New Zeeland.. never seen such effects.

wut are you on about bro?

probably the easiest way to get something out that works and solves part of the trading problem, people not answering and price fixing, I would say. I assume that at some point to have it within the game (specially for console) but it probably would take too much time to have something polished. NCP, enabling it in the hideout etc, would probably require less effort and enable GGG to evaluate how it's working and if further adjustments are required while a more ideal solution is drafted and implemented.

you use the website to search, and once you find the item, you click on a button on the website, and your character in-game is instantly teleported to the seller's hideout with the Buy modal popped up on your screen for a last click to buy.

And they have plans (and a prototype) to implement the Search in-game, in the future making the website completely optional.

Though Jonathan makes a good point that console players may enjoy using their phones to type in the item search on the website rather than in-game.

Idk what this post is complaining about.

I don't get why we still need the damn website. Is user interface unable to offer a action house layout? I mean, come on...

Implementing a whole-ass entire web browser into your video game is an annoying, tricky, and finicky task. Especially when the solution of "Just use your web browser" is dramatically faster, easier, and much less prone to bugs, glitches, and weirdness.

And yes - what you are asking is for the majority of the functionality of a web browser to be ported into and implemented directly within the game engine. Which is an engine designed to run a game, not to operate a web browser.

PoE1 players really, really, Really, REALLY, REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY(!!!!!!) need to LET FREAKING GO of the idea that absolutely every last possible earthly second of their playtime has to be absolutely and utterly maximized at all times forever. It will not, in fact, kill you to alt-tab into a web browser for a few minutes to find an item once every few in-game hours, if not once every few tens of in-game hours. Or even better, figure out a second monitor.

Forcing a web browser into the PoE game engine so PoE1 people can trim a few extra seconds off their not-killing-monsters "downtime" is a massive load of engineering expenditure for basically nil return. We really don't need it.

It's 2025 and people still defending alt-tabbing to a website for trading. Wild times.

A'ight, you can have "Literally just Chrome inside the game client for no discernible earthly reason whatsoever because everyone in existence always has alt-tab tabs and second monitors open and available anyways because it's 2025" when I can have selectable character genders for each and every base Exile class because it's 2025 and gender-locked classes were old and pointless in 205. One of these things is actually a pretty healthy improvement to the gameplay experience for a large number of people. [Removed by Support]

Enough [Removed by Support] Seriously. Enough.

wut are you on about

Simple. Your complaint is that you think it's old and outdated and pointless to have to go to the second monitor basically every modern gamer alive has on their desktop set-up they run PoE on to use the trade website. "It's 2025 and she's defending alt-tabbing, what a world."

A frequent complaint many players have about PoE2 is the continued 'tradition' of gender-locked classes, where a Sorceress is always a Sorceress and never a Sorcerer, and so on and so forth. [Removed by Support] as "it's a valid design decision, not EVERY game needs selectable gender!" despite this being 2025 and some degree of character selection/editing is an assumed basic feature in basically [/i]every[/i] game of PoE2's general type.

So. You can have your useless feature that just takes up space and time and a lot of engineering work in order to avoid thirteen picoseconds of the most minute possible friction when I can have an actual basic feature of most modern video games that has no excuse to be excluded from PoE2. Deal?
