Import search

Doggielvr

Recently I have been looking to buy made imports of certain breeds (so more dogs aren't made while others 'rot' away in rescues) but it is taking me so long to create a search for a certain breed, then look through ALL of the listed dogs for made imports. Am I the only one who is having this issue?<br><br>I suggest that in the search dogs section, there should be an option to look for imports ONLY. I think this would keep people from creating even more dogs in game while others sit useless in peoples kennels. <br><br>Thank you

It would probably be too complicated for the people that have to write the code, but I still agree this would be a good idea! I have had the same problem, and I often end up using unmades unnecessarily just because I don't feel like putting the time in to search through hundreds (sometimes thousands) of dogs!<br><br>By the way, I have lots of made imports at my <a href="http://virtualpups.com/index.php?r=vpKennel/view&id=481395"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">Rescue Kennel</a>. Most are already groomed, and are easy to find because they will be listed for 20k 8)

Yeah I thought it wouldn't hurt to make the suggestion though lol. It would save so much time! <br><br>Thank you for the heads up btw I will defiantly take a look!

The code itself isn't complicated to write, it's the additional strain on the server that would be the problem. As it is, the marketplace can be particularly slow if you're using a lot of the search options. The likelihood of an additional search perimeter being added, at least in the near future, is slim. The server already has issues with other aspects of the game, which are being looked at to reduce the impact that they have on the server speed.<br><br>What you can do is simply post on the Bark Park or in the forums that you are seeking dogs that meet specific criteria. I'm sure players would let you know if/when they had dogs that suited your needs, as the sales market is slow and opportunities to move dogs is something few want to miss. <br><br>This general idea has been repeatedly suggested. There's even one thread from earlier this year. Examples include <a href="http://virtualpups.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=81140"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">this</a>, <a href="http://virtualpups.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=75560"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">this</a>, and <a href="http://virtualpups.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=82161"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">this</a>. We do ask that you search the suggestions area prior to posting, as there are dozens of these repeat threads.
