Suggestion - Way to search all vendors for things for sale
Welcome to Project: Gorgon!
Project: Gorgon is a 3D fantasy MMORPG (massively-multiplayer online role-playing game) that features an immersive experience that allows the player to forge their own path through exploration and discovery. We won't be guiding you through a world on rails, and as a result there are many hidden secrets awaiting discovery. Project: Gorgon also features an ambitious skill based leveling system that bucks the current trend of pre-determined classes, thus allowing the player to combine skills in order to create a truly unique playing experience.
The Project: Gorgon development team is led by industry veteran Eric Heimburg. Eric has over a decade of experience working as a Senior and Lead Engineer, Developer, Designer and Producer on successful games such as Asheron’s Call 1 and 2, Star Trek Online and other successful Massively Multiplayer Online Games.
Heya! I think that this is a good suggestion, and there may be something like this already in game.
Specifically I'm thinking of two particular cases:
1. Player vendors: There are Shop Tracking Golems in the Serbule and Casino vendor stalls that can tell you who has what item in stock
2. NPC vendor Buy New/Barters: The "Find" tab of the More Info window shows NPCs/vendors who sell the items in their "Buy New" or have a barter for them
If you don't have the particular item you are looking for in your inventory, the "More Info" is also available from items linked in chat. So one option could be to ask other players to share a certain item for you to check.
Having something to search "Buy Used" might be more complicated since this changes almost constantly. In my opinion this could also take away part of the challenge of finding Used items. Many vendors buy only items similar to those they sell, so that could be a hint to who has it in Used.
Is there a way to keyword search the player vendors? For example, if I wanted to see all the Cooking scrolls, I could search "Cooking:" instead of having to click on each item from the More Info section.
Would be nice when you used the golems to search and find the item you want it let you mark the vendor making them glow for 10-15 seconds and be seen through walls like predator vision, just so you can find them easier.
