Move prices from single quality pages to dual-quality pages


Tasty Salamanders

Recommended Posts

With the recently added support for dual-quality items, it is worth pointing out that previously there were some items that were always dual-quality, as a result they were previously priced as single quality versions, since there wasn't actually any single quality versions to conflict with them.
 
But now that they can properly be priced, the prices should be moved from the old pages to the new ones. I imagine this needs to be done one item at a time, so I doubt it is going to be done overnight, but still a list of all items that need to be done would probably help.

That'd be nice with the Normal quality weapons but I'm not 100% sure it is easy to do.

One of the mod's (I think polar) said Valve doesnt make it easy with dual-quality. For example a strange unusual is way different from a unique weapon with a strangifier added. So I'm not sure how weird Valve made the Normal weapons

It should be easy enough to do, support for dual-quality items was already added here not to long ago, to use one of the Normal quality weapons as an example: http://backpack.tf/stats/Strange Normal/Scattergun/Tradable/Craftable

 

And moving prices from one page to another is something they did before, so that shouldn't be an issue either.

There is no mechanism to do this right now, but it could be added at some point.

Huh, weren't the prices for the Summer Shades and Treasure Hats moved from the untradable pages to the tradable pages when Valve finally made them tradable? Or am I misremembering?

 

Or is it that when it comes to item quality it is sort of stored differently? Or is it just an elevated quality thing?

 

On a different note, you said that Strange Uniques can't be priced due naming conflict with regular Stranges. However would I be wrong in assuming this naming conflict doesn't exist with Strange Normals and Strange Haunteds? In which case if prices can't be moved over it would still be ok for people to make price suggestions on the dual-quality pages and then have the prices deleted for the single-quality versions as those suggestions are accepted?

Because right now there's no way to migrate a price to an elevated otherwise equivalent item.

 

And yes, the problem only exists with Unusuals and Uniques as we trim the quality from those.

So I noticed that some Strange Uniques now include the "The" like they would on Steam, example: Strange Unique Eviction Notice. They also now lack a price on their page.

Meanwhile Uniques that lack a "The" and their respective Strange Unique versions also lack it, for example: Strange Unique Scattergun. They continue to have the Strange Price on their page.

 

I'm guessing that Strange Uniques with a "The" are now priceable and ones without it still aren't, or am I wrong?

 

Also, while it doesn't matter right at the moment since the only accepted price suggestions for dual-quality items are for Strange Unusuals, but when suggestions for Strange Haunteds and Strange Normals start to build up and be accepted the prices for the single quality versions will become invalid, is there any real plan to deal with those at the moment?

I don't think there's any real way for us to accept price suggestions for items without the proper name prefix because we'd have to diverge from Steam's naming, sorry.

Yes this has been added. Feel free to create a list of items so we can go over them.

Already done, it was included in my original post, I just updated it to cross out the ones that have been moved already or repriced since dual-quality support was added.

I've worked through the list. If you find anymore, feel free to stick them in here and tag me or woifi.

Thanks @Teeny Tiny Cat, also I just realised I missed the Haunted Mannhattan Project in the list (I accidentally listed the Supernatural Stalker twice).

 

Also I don't think those price/suggestion moves for the Strange Uniques worked as intended.

Not quite sure why it's done that, have informed devs.
