I haven't experienced any delay when listing items.Yes, the item being sold dissapears from the inventory immediately even if the delay happens. I've also noticed that if the delay happens after selling an item and I close the window and reopen it fast and try to sell something else it won't let me until the delay/loading finishes. I thought that would mean whatever is happening is "in the background" independent of my trade post window, if that makes sense or has any significance.No, I've always got the coins from selling. "Worst" case scenario - there was a short delay in getting them, but I do get the coins even if I close the trade post window right after selling, during the delay/loading thing.I don't think I've seen any error messages so far in regarding to this issue. I'll make sure to screenshot if I happen to get one.Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dying Oblivion.8296 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Well It seems like its gone back to being laggy as hell again :(It is happening with custom sell and buy orders (i never instantly buy or sell)Sometimes it gets 'stuck' when i placing items up for sale or if im just madly clicking the mouse to buy more than 250 of something (custom order)the lag seems to come and go. One moment its very responsive then the next second its back to being 'stuck' again for 3-5 seconds. Id say 3 out of 5 times it lags out.Sometimes i flick back to the main store page and some error comes out like 'Err: No NAME::' there was more to that but thats what i can remember atm. it doesnt really happen a lot but its happened quite a few times already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"An error has occurred with your order." or something along those lines.My advice about this whole situation. Have them look into the server the trading post is using. It could be a poor connection or a sign of server failure (I've seen this 100's of times before a server crashes and has to be replaced). My guess though, is that the connection from server to game user is the actual cause, and that someone in the middle between locations is causing the problem. Considering most of Amazon's servers are over in Virginia, and usually have to pass through Chicago, IL. There has been a known history for the past few years with Chicago of poor connection for throughput traffic. I would suggest investigating around there.

If so, could you please post a screenshot or video?Thanks for helping us narrow down these situations!That was one of the first things I thought to look at, and it doesn't seem to make a difference whether you are selling at an existing buy/sell price, creating your own, selling full/partial of your own stack. It just seems to be every 5-6 things, which 'might' correspond to time directly, if you are someone that sells en masse in a rhythm of sorts?I think the item immediately goes away, my delivery bird comes and goes, if it's an immediate sell, I believe I get the money immediately...the 'stall' is the UI 'recovering' and giving me the buttons back so I can continue and sell my next thing. This is where it stalls out for 5-8 seconds for me. ** Correction: Money stalls out as well. When selling on asking price, the money comes in as the UI recovers, both 'after' the stall.Have not experienced this at all.No, and actually, the red 'slow down' message has all but gone away, presumably because these intermittent slow downs never let me get to that (though, it was rare for me that I'd hit that wall personally, but I do get them from time to time).I saw your questions and decided to answer them, but actually came here to note something interesting.The past two Saturdays (before Christmas and today before New Year's) during my usual play time (about 5:30 to 9:30 am ... uh ... 'Arizona' time ... we don't understand your mysteries of time zones here! ... I think we're an hour later than the west coast right now, so what are we, Mountain right now?) it has been 'flawless'. It will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow, but last Sunday was back to the (new) normal shenanigans.So I'm wondering, knowing it's the holidays and your workforce there is smaller, are there some new diagnostics, logging, metrics, reporting, maintenance procedures, etc that might have been put in that might have coincided with what we are experiencing and causing the slow downs? Maybe something that isn't running on Saturday mornings, or the past few Saturday mornings?Update:Correction on 2 (above).Sunday (12/30) morning during my play time it's back to the problematic ways (after a good morning play session yesterday morning).

Hevoskuuri.3891 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Reporting in; TP being sluggish again. This exact thing has happened to me a few times since these reports started appearing in early December, but this time I decided to share.I attempted to insta-sell item X (in this case a stack of elder wood, for approx. 2s60c-2s70c profit per log), and I just kept hitting confirm transaction as soon as the game picked the highest-paying buyer. As you can see from the screenshot, the first 5 sold normally for the desired price. When I tried insta-selling the rest, however, the TP sort of freezed and got stuck in loading the buyer list, but I already had hit the confirm button again, so my elder wood logs were actually sold for the lowest possible price of 9c/log, instead of selecting the highest-paying buyer. So instead of getting a few gold for my elder wood stack, I ended up netting a total sum of 31s74c. It's thankfully not a huge loss, but I think this is definitely worth looking into. If I had attempted to insta-sell an expensive item such as an infusion or a legendary, this kind of bug would be devastating. I did not create a support ticket about this, but I can if that helps you guys nail down these problems. Oh, and this happened at approx. 6:30AM EET (UTC+2), in case that's relevant info.http://i.imgur.com/dKCzfHZ.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrilana.1396 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I've had it hang for 5-10 seconds when putting in buy orders before I get the confirmation. When doing instant sales, it hangs on the confirmation. I can just close out of the sale window and the sale did already go through. It makes me wonder if there's something wrong on the confirmation side where it says it was a success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jura.2170 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I'm still sometimes seeing 5-10 seconds lag when buying and selling, and it sometimes happens also when cancelling orders and waiting for the money to be refunded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North-EastAre you trying to buy, sell, or both?Happens with both. But take a more considerable time if trying to sell instantly. Did the situation improve with the 11 December build? If so, in what way. (For example, "buying is easier, but selling is difficult" or "Selling is easier, but I can't seem to put in a buy order at all" or that sort of thing.)No change. Surely worst. Now, I have sometimes "encountered an error" so item not put in sales.Would you consider this pretty much resolved, or do you feel there still are issues?Unresolved. Same as others, started around the sigil/runes update date with those lucent motes addition. But worst now after the last patch for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegeta.2563 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 So besides the typical lag when trying to buy or sell your items. I'm now seeing lag in regards to images loading properly. However I am unsure if this is a problem between the server to my location or something else entirely. I took a screenshot where the images were still trying to load.I thought maybe it was just my client acting weird. So I restarted my client.. several times even. Just to be greeted with the same loading images each time. I even deleted my gw2cache folders in the temp directory. Still had the same problem. The images do eventually load given enough time, but what I do know is, the trading post lag started the same time the changes to the runes and sigils were put into place. And also salvage all is a lot slower than it used to be, it seems to briefly pause between items, but this might be related to the trading post in some manner since they probably share the same server hardware?

mauried.5608 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 There is also now a lot of delay in selling items when the quantity is over 100 or more.eg you have a truckload of useless but sellable stuff like mithril ore or low grade wood.Sometimes the sale produces an uninformative error message , and you have to try again, eventually the sale works.
