Hi all,
Today we are opening up testing for the new multibuy feature. We have not yet committed to a release for it, but we want to start public testing on it now and see how that goes before deciding when it will be released.
It's been a commonly requested feature by players and devs alike so we are pretty excited to be introducing it... now reshipping after losing a ship will be so much easier. :D The target user group is the crowd that wants to buy their stuff "here and now", even though that can come at a slightly higher price.
Those who like to play the market game and focus on margins will probably in most cases want to have a full context for the orders of each item, so we decided to focus the user experience on the immediate buyers and keep things simple. Therefore, multibuy will only offer immediate buys in a station in your current solar system.
Convenience comes at a price, so with multibuy, the unit price you pay for each item type will be the price at which you can buy the quantity you requested. Similar to the multisell window, each item type in the multibuy window shows how the unit price compares to the average price, and a tooltip will show the best price in the station, solar system as well as region. If the price is not to your liking you can always remove those items from the buy order and buy them order by order from the market window.
You will still be able to set up single non-immediate orders, just like before.
The multibuy window can be opened when right clicking two or more items in your hangar ("Buy all..."), from fittings ("Buy fit..." button), right clicking a folder in the Market Quickbar ("Buy all...") or by opening the multibuy window from a button in the Market window and dragging stuff into it.
So, please test it out let us know what you think!
In the process of making this feature, we had to make some changes to the multisell window, so it would also be appreciated if you tested that out too.
Please file bugreports on any issues you find (you can also mention them here, but not instead of bugreporting them).
Known issue: - icons for green&red arrows to indicate whether the price is above or below regional average are missing from this build

For someone who does spectre fleet staging from trade hubs, this is great. <3 It's almost better than multisell.
Tested it and it works great. |

Multibuy is the best thing ever, however I have noticed something. If I use the "buy fit" button in my fitting management window or on a linked fitting, all I buy is the modules and charges, but no hull. If i drag the fitting to my market quickbar, and use "right click->buy all" it does include the hull. I can see the need to buy just the fittings for hulls you already own, but I'd like to be able to click a linked fit and buy the whole thing without the extra step of making a quickbar entry. Could we perhaps have a popup asking "hull as well?" or something to that effect?
I used to have a clever sig but I lost it.

I haven't tried this yet (will when I get home), but can I make a request whilst you are working in this area of the codebase: please can any buys / sells which fail in the multi-buy/sell window automagically spawn a new buy/sell window?
I.e. if I have 10x Damage Control I to sell, and I chose sell immediately, and either the top buy order is only for 2 items, or it actually fails (someone already used up the order before I clicked sell, or margin trading caused it to fail), couldn't it spawn a new multi-sell window with the 8 or 10 units respectively already entered?
I need to test the multi-buy window for to see how it works (so sorry if this is not appropriate, or already implemented), but in the inverse situation (I want to buy 10 units, and only 2 are available at the current best price), it buys those 2 and spawns a new window for the remaining 8 at the next best price)?
This would make selling (or buying) multiple items much faster as you don't need to find the items in your inventory again to re-add them to the multi-buy/sell window. |

Amazing!
Also could you please add button "Buy all" into the window, when I try to fit, but some modules or ammo are missing: http://i.imgur.com/5SYGFBd.png

If you set your market price filter to 0.00 - 100.00 as an example to only show the seeded items on singularity, when you buy the fit it ignores your market filters, while the 100 isk price is only for singularity, some people will want to set their filter to avoid the scam market orders. |

Because other have posted ideas as well:
Would it be possible to add a button "add all current orders to market quickbar"? It's unbelievable annoying to have 100-200 orders and you have to search for the one which is missing in the short cut list of the quickbar.

Thank you so much Karkur, you have no idea how much this is going to help with manufacturing! Currently, buying materials in Jita literally takes longer than installing manufacturing jobs across 24 characters. Even after trying to streamline the process with IGB functions, the lack of a multi-buy features is still one of the most significant time-bottlenecks. This should cut down my total time investment by ~30% :D. Time to lower personal profit margins again! Cheaper stuff for everyone (by ~0.25mil)! |

"Buy fit..." button issues:
- only items was buyed. Not hull. I think hull must be in list too.
- as hull is not purchased ship can't be fitted automatically. Autofit after buy will be great thing! Just one button and you have cool new ship ready to undock. If it can be done then pay attention, pls, on name of new ship. Name from "Fitting manager" plus some index will be cool feature.
"Buy items" window issues:
- after pressing of "Buy" button window stay opened. Not sure that it is best behaviour.
- no any sorts in list. Simple way - alphabetical sort. But will be perfect, imho, make groups in list - high slot, medium, low, charges and etc.
- window does not care that some of the modules are already in the hangar. Smart behaviour will be very useful in case if I just want to fit new ship.

This is an AWESOME feature!! Thank you!
Quick question: When selecting items to drag from the market window, would it be possible to implement the ability to highlight / select multiple items at once?
i.e. I'm selecting standard heavy missile ammo, I hold down the ctrl key and select all 4 and drag them over to the multi buy window vs. 1 at a time?
Or perhaps I hold down the shift key to select all 4 to drag over? |

Soo, last i looked, the "best price" listed by the market screen...usually isn't even close. Sometimes that listing is 500% higher than the actual best price. As it appears there are some people who have figured out what the exact formula is that your system uses to pick which order is the "best price", and manage to sell items at stupid profits, if you institute this using that same not-right formula, it would cause some headache, and also rejoicing from the few that have figured out how to have sell orders up for 5x market value, yet still be listed as the "best price in region" by the market screen.
CCP, don't believe me...try it out, browse the market for things, note the "best price" value, then click "show details" and note how those values are not the same. |

the multibuy window is wonderful to use. if this is an appropriate place to give some suggestions for it then here are some:
1. it would be awesome to give the ability to drag in saved fits to the window to add in all the items from it. 2. fits from a kill/loss mail as well to be dragged in and have items added in. 3. saved fits that are in the market "quickbar" when they're put into the folder there also have items added by dragging them into the window.
pretty much just add functionality to drag fits into it is what i'm saying. that's the one thing i can find right now that would be useful, otherwise it's pretty good so far.
if this isn't an appropriate place to put this suggestion i'll move it to wherever is. |

as a market trader it is a really nice feature... smooth to use and easy to find... kinda intuitive. for a guy who does a lot of this... I think it is a real winner!! ... but can you get the columns to auto adjust so that the items don't ALWAYS get cut off? Be nice if you would do the same thing to the multi- sell columns as well.

I also like the multi fits but many will find the layout confusing.
Suggestion : prefill buy order volume but do not otherwise multiply them. That is If I increase the Number of orders, I increase or decrease the number of units ordered, possibly showing underneath the total required fit
So... I go looking for an oracle loss zkillboard.com/kill/49131350/#
Screenshot of multibuy www.dropbox.com/s/vqfy200yvl7rfrh/Screenshot%202015-09-19%2016.13.33.png?dl=0
Assume I think I want to buy 5 of these fit, and I have in my hanger 10 mega pulse laser II, so only want to buy 30 rather than the 40 shown. No way to do this with the current multi buy screen. I would need work out that I only should buy 3 fits of lasers, then come back and buy 6 more individually.
Instead an alternative layout might be. As the user increases the number of orders, increase both the number to be purchased and number required for fit. As the user decreases the number of orders, decrease both the Number to be purchased (to a minimum of zero) and number required for fit.
............................................................................................................... buy count item ................... Number to be purchased ...............unit value ...............total value ...............................(Number required for fit )
eg from the fit above (prices from singularity) Medium Hyperspataial velocity optimiser ..... 5 .......................100 ................ 500 ..................................................................... (5) . . . Heat Sink II .................................................15..........................100 ..............1500 .....................................................................(15) . . . Mega pulse Laser II ...................................40 ..........................100...............4000 ....................................................................(40)
Now, the user overwrites the number to be purchased to 30 so that pair of lines becomes Mega pulse Laser II ...................................30 ..........................100...............3000 ....................................................................(40)
Finally the user realises they would spent too much, and really only needs 3 fits after all. Reducing the fits from 5 to 3 reduces mega pulse laser II : number to be purchased and number required for fit by 16 Mega pulse Laser II ...................................14 ..........................100...............3000 ....................................................................(24)
Of course some boundary validation is needed in case the user then decides to reduce the number of orders significantly. In keeping with the apparent defaults of the multi buy screen, reducing it to 1 may be suitable.
Alternatively, just overwrite the number to be purchased every time the number of orders change (with or without warning).
And I also endorse adding hulls onto the multi buy from a fitting screen. |
