I should stop at some point But let’s keep it rollin, since your feedback kept rollin!
Added Item info when the OCD Item Sale History popup got opened (as Patreon you can sell items straight out of your OCD)
Added Base, CV, SV, GV indicator from the game into HWS Connect! I had to extend the ECF parser for EAH and it is now exporting it to our API (AllowPlacingAt":"Base,MS,SS,GV"). HWS Connect then process this API json and adds it to all items on relevant places (Player Info, OCD, HWS Marketplace page, HWS Trader).
It was kinda requested for a long time, since the namings in Reforged Eden are often idiotic (CV and BA turrets share the same name, so players sometimes bought the wrong item type). But since I was in the flow and AI is carrying me, I thank for the suggestion here: Discord
Restyled the header server region select dropdown.
Added thousand separator for the Item Sale History flyover tooltips
Fixed that the OCD page had the Min Max values shown based on active listings. Therefore Alien Cores showed Min / Max = 0. Now the values are properly fetched from the Market History database table
Fixed the new colored type indicators were not working for the dynamic block IDs. All items should show the Base (red) /CV (yellow) /SV (green) /GV (blue) colored square indicator now
Fixed that type indicators were not working for child blocks. Now the Referenced parent block is considered (in terms of `AllowPlacingAt: “Base”, “MS”, “SS”, “GV”
Fixed that changing just the Max Buyer Playtime of a Marketplace Offer, could trigger the history timer. Now it really triggers only when the credit unit price is changed
Fixed that 0 could be set as Max Buyer Playtime. Min. of 10 is the lowest now.
Fixed empty blocks/slots got the red and yellow type indicator set
Added new “Daily Trading Volume” for items for Patron Elite and up. It is above the Item Sale History chart (see screenshot). (very old request from a Community member)
Added more detailed info for fees when selling items
Prepared changes for the next season - feel free to discuss it in the #hws-re-feedback-and-suggestions channel:
Selling items, as in any other game and real life, cost credits and HWS DNA even when inside a zone BUT
For the Dealer Origin with EB Level 10 it is still free (for Bank level 9, it is 2% credits only fee, level 8 3% and so on)
For any other Origin it is 10% credits fee and 1 HWS DNA
Outside the zone it is 20% and 2 HWS DNA now
This is also a request from a community member long time ago and comes up overall frequently when it is about selling trash items in high quantity. And to boost the Dealer Origin properly more. Feel free to discuss the change. It is not active yet.
Fixed the Bar chart had not tooltip highlight when hovering over it
Fixed that the Sell Item(s) button was inactive after a successful trade (you had to refresh the whole page to sell again)
Added a new dedicated, long deserved page for our HWS Patrons in HWS Connect.
I made it conditional, depending if you are a Patron or not, you see different text/sections (see Screenshot).
For non Patrons it is hopefully clear enough what the steps are to become a Patron and link the Patron account. Also what benefits you will get / have.
The Thank You section was moved from the Support Us page to this new page instead, at the bottom where you get also more deserved room, not hidden behind a dropdown mechanic.
Reworked HWS Tutorial. Added more steps to also explain other features and give Reward at the end for completing it (one time reward in total)
Added new “HWS Online Players” page to make it consistent and splitted it from the Hunter Board it was before at the bottom
Improved Hunter and Kill Board handling of 4 servers by not showing all 4 servers
Overall improved some background services
Changed logic of Hunter Board => you must be online to receive up to date data now, otherwise you get a cached version of it (to prevent some auto scrape bots). I might offer this service on my own in the future
another investigation was being done, why the server suddenly behaved strange / dead.
Apparently, a 114GB log file was growing, that caused server wide issues.
Well, apparently the EPM events run in a file descriptor leak. One line of code fixed that.
Today, I saw that the CPU was running non stop at around 50%, which should not happen either. Serious issues were found in that regard (db, EPM events) and got fixed too. Overall the result:
TL;DR:
PostgreSQL “idle” processes: 66-64% → <1% CPU
PHP epm_events scripts: 14% → 2-5% CPU each
docker-proxy: 40% → <5% CPU (should auto-improve)
Total CPU reduction: ~170% → ~10-15%
This should make HWS Connect more responsive for you again.
added Bundle packages to offer multiple packages at once on a 20% discount.
added Player Info cards at the top to better relate to packages and what you need.
added sticky filter section
Logic change: you have to login now to be able to buy something. This fixes some purchases where the Username was written wrong and better auto apply to you (steam/epic ID)
Bundle packages do rotate. Right now I configured them to be available at end and start of seasons.
Like in EAH, you can easily see a Before / After change of your EB credits. Those entries can be cross-checked with your Player Activity Log on the Dashboard page. Or, as Patreon Veteran and up, you have this convenience feature right away at hand. Clicking on the link brings you directly to the row in the Activity Log
Massive performance boost for the Teleportation Device on the HWS Universe page (it lagged sometimes)
Added more Hotview options and a setting icon on the right sidebar to quickly change it
a new convenience feature for Elite+ Patrons, so they do not have to track all their Marketplace transactions by hand.
Finalized the Wanted Feature with a 3 Layer Progression. See the guide for more information how it works: HWS Marketplace
All Patrons can access the Wanted Marketplace feature now as Early Access - please provide feedback if possible, so we can have a stable release for everyone.
This still needs to be fully tested and polished but in the new season I try to migrate from EAH Event Manager to the new HWS Connect manager!
It is not only visually more attractive for you but will give you even more features than before!
Example for the Battle Royale Event:
After some time, outer house POIs are replaced by dangerous turret POIs, that force you to the center (the Pyramid).
Cross Server Marketplace Feature + Combined HWS Marketplace
New Feature: HWS Marketplace Combine and Cross Server Marketplace
as per request, Buy / Sell and Wanted offers have no a new column “Server”. The server pair will that way always be visible to you. (HWS RE EU <> HWS RE NA and HWS+ EU <> HWS+ NA). That way you do not need to toggle between the server back and forth all the time to check out the offers from the other server.
as Master Patreon you have the convenience benefit on top, to be able to buy offers from the other server, without the need to be online on that server of that offer. This also works for the Wanted feature - so you can fulfill an order from the other server, even though you are not online on that server.
I want that CSW should be one of the core feature in the future (and improved further), that’s I think it’s a win-win.
Redesigned Sale banner
Added fixed / sticky header for marketplace tables
merged item icon column everywhere into item name column to safe space
Reordered Marketplace columns for better conversion / overview
But let’s keep it rollin, since your feedback kept rollin!
