Glitchy Restocks?

Tue Sep 21, 2004 1:36 am

I just tried to restock and I ran into this on the haggle screen:

Notice that it told me to click on the yurble but there is a mynci in the picture.

Anyway, I'm in a rush so I just click on the mynci and it basicly refreshes as if I didn't click on the right thing. I tried this a few different times and on certain items it gives me this error where it tells me to click the wrong neopet and therefore I miss the restock. Is anyone else having this problem?

Edit: errr now PPT isn't showing my pic. I'm just going to add all the tags so that you can see it.

Phew it's not just me, I thought I was paranoid or something! Yes, the pets never match up, but most of the time it does let me buy the item. But other times, even when I click the pet, it says "You don't want to pay THAT much" or something similar.

Yeah, it's messed up right now. The amusing thing was, the one item, it told me to click on the Buzz, but the pic was of an Eyrie, then it told me to click on the Eyrie, and the pic was of a Buzz. Stupid glitches.

It happened to me too. I just kept clicking on whatever pet came up and it eventually gave it to me!

oh good, I thought I was going insane...I tried refreshing, I tried going out to the store...so weird.

I'm getting this too. This is definitely not a browser or cache problem, it must be some glitch in the server. Even if I clicked on the correct pet which it asked for, it would still say I'm wrong, while sometimes clicking on the wrong pet will still allow you to buy the item.

Maybe this is another of TNT plans to make restocking "fairer"... while stalling the people with fast modems, letting them try multiple times to click on the magic picture, they figure that this will cause the items in the store to sell slower, so that 56kers will get a chance. :roll:

I got it, too. I just clicked to the opposite of the picture shown, and it worked. o_O

I try it too and it's ultra glitchy~~~ The pet's shadows are everywhere and when i click on the clearest one. It keeps telling me to click on the pet and it's always the wrong pet. I WANT a non-glitchy restocking system. Plus the shopkeeper only accepts my price when i enter the same amount as he indicates. :roll:

Just a thought: Do you think think any of this might be on purpose? Like they realise that restocking brings in most of the np in Neopia and seperates a lot of the rich from the poor and are trying to stop it? Hampering restocking would greatly balance the scales.

That's basically what I said, but it would be very stupid of them, no? The magic picture affects people on slow modems too, and having to reload the picture time and again will make it even worse for them.

This is becoming a common-place problem with me today. It keeps asking for a pet that isn't showing up in the picture. Really annoying :x

Oddly enough, it's only happening with me on harder to get items. Like in the food shop trying to get a jacket potato... It's SO frustrating!
