View Full Version : Trade bug
Hello
I'm doing one of the Excelsior chains and this morning I had to sell some things.
I put the first offer on the free slot, then spent coins to use a second one.
So I choose the goods to sell - 1500 pinewoods, then I'm trying to put a price - like 2800 water.
But the amount of water turns to be limited!??
Hope this will be fixed soon.
What you can ask for is limited by your storage capacity. You can only set a trade for an amount that will fit in your storage.

Well. it was fixed some few hours after I wrote here but today it's back. A very smart "error" indeed - first the player pays the gold or the gems - and only then suddenly find that setting the desired trade offer was made impossible. Please remove this script - or explain in plain text what we have to pay to get rid of it.
Untrue.
True.
Here are some screenies of my Marketplace tab. As you can see I can ask for very different amounts of the different items, always EXACTLY what would fill my storage capacity.

Buying someone else's offer from the trade office is different - you can buy however much you like, and what doesn't fit in your storage will go to your star.
These labels only show your maximum storage... What you can offer is what you HAVE available not what you can store - just like in real life btw.
By the way, the topic is for something completerly different.
What you can offer is what you HAVE available not what you can store
the sliders show what i am able to ASK for - what you call "a price". the maximum amount on the slider is identical to the gap between what i have, and my storage maximum.
and it's completely on topic, because what you are describing is not a bug.
EDIT: unless, of course, you had more than 2800 space for water in your storage, THEN it's a bug ;)
Ynita is correct, the price you can charge when setting up a trade is limited by the space available in your storage at that point in time. If you wish to charge 2800 water, then your water stores needs to be at least 2800 below your maximum storage capacity. Your levels in stores tend to change as time progresses, which fits with the symptom you describe here:

+1 true
Had same prob with gold coins could not sell for days before stock capacity where raised.
very annoying indeed. but that is how game is.
khem-khem.
I NEVER had this problem before /it started like 2-3 weeks before/.
So NO, it's NOT "the way the game is".
There was some extra huge number there as a "limit" - sth like 624000 which is ways much above my storage max - and since exceeding the storage limit is NOT a problem - as we know from buyings - I just want this "smart new feature" removed / rolled back. It's heavily annoying, especially since one of the Excelsior's tasks requires sales.
P.S. It has nothing to do with "the symptoms" because the "limit" was changed to some odd number - sth like "1/1" - and apparently did not work.

I've played since 2012 and the trade has never allowed me to request more resources than I have room in my storage.
There are some limitations in Trade office and those were introduced 19.7.2016 (Change log (http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/33450-Change-Log-19-07-2016)) and then changed on the next update (Change log (http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/33554-Change-Log-28-07-2016)) increasing the limits by 10x
The limits are:
Item - 1000 - This is the general trade limitation for all items, regardless of their source.
Resource - Storage Capacity - The limitation of resources is dependent on the storage capacity of the player.
Refill - 100000 - The limitation for refills.
Building - 10 - The limitation for buildings.
you are very wrong if i had 790k gc (witch whas stock ful) and wanted to sell when coin slot is filled up i cant place a trade,with coins.
but got around it to get people to make trade for me.so i bought instead.so its been all along and its logical.
Resource - Storage Capacity - The limitation of resources is dependent on the storage capacity of the player.
Thank you Durin_d! I knew that this was stated officially somewhere, but couldn't remember where :)
be thankfull you can ask for trades upto your storage limit, once we were restricted to trades of just 400...and what you are seeing ask limited to your storage capacity is how it's been for years
Just for the protocol - 19.07.2016 is neither "since 2012", nor "for years". (I remember being surprised that the fake limits were neither close to the storage nor some round numbers of thousands - like 600K or 640K.) So it's been applied somewhen this summer and there's absolutelly no logic to limit your requests to the storage limit but allow buyings above - no, MUCH above it. So I still ask for removing this - or bringing all the trade in conformity with the new conditions.
Thank You for pointing to the official information.

Sorry I to in over 4 years of play on 2 different servers have also never been able to offer for more then the remaining storage capacity available to me in TO
the only way i have ever get around it is to use a trade slot the remove say all my coin, list my trades for gc then cancel my original trade i had stores full on.
not sure of should go here or not but it is a bug with trade system
I been helping a new guild member,
because of the 24 hour rule doing it through TO
I accepted the top trade below and was wanting to accept the other 2 for a quest but have constant egg timer on my TO screen even now over 15 mins later its still spinning even though history shows i have accepted the trade the egg timer spinning for and i have tried visiting my adventure i have running and back to home island to try that way :(

19/07/16 was when trade limits for buildings, refills and "items" (buffs etc iirc) were raised to allow trading of more than 1 at a time. Resources was included (i assume) for clarity, and has ALWAYS, since the introduction of the Trade Office (http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/20679-Guide-Trade-System), been limited to your storage amounts for REQUESTS/prices.
Choose price – this window is visually identical to the “choose offer” window, except that this is where you will decide what you want to receive from the trade. As a note, you cannot trade for more than your storehouse can hold. For instance, if you have a storehouse limit of 10,000 bread and currently have 6,000 in your storehouse, you cannot trade for more than 4,000 bread. It will not overflow to your Star Menu.
It has ALWAYS been unlimited for accepting other peoples' offers. Nothing has changed here.
If you are asking for this to be changed, that's a different matter to reporting a perceived (non-existent) bug. You could pop the request in the Suggestions section of the forum :P
another thread which is a waste of time, since no bug is pressent
This thread has run its course and is now closed.
