The filters in the market do not work the way I would like them to.
The filters are additive, when I believe they should be subtractive.
For example.
I want to see what camouflages I have for Russian vehicles.
I open the market and click on my items.
I happen to have hundreds of items, so I use a filter.
WarThunder ->Camouflage
I also have ~200 Camouflages
So I add a filter USSR
My expectation is it will remove all but the USSR skins.
My expectation is not met, instead it adds every USSR item I own to the list.
Why is this helpful? Is this what anyone would want?
To me this is a bug. But it might very well be the intended design, IDK.
No, as I understand what he describes, he does it correctly: He wants to filter for USSR camos, so he checks Camouflage and USSR.
However, his result does not his (and my) expectation, and he gets not only shown USSR camos, but USSR vehicles as well - which would obviously be a bug.
Note: Tried it myself, in my case it works correctly however:
So say you are shopping for a car.
You want a ford within 50 miles of your house.
You would filter [FORD] [50 miles from home]
You would want the result to be every Ford for sale in the world and every car within 50 miles of your house?
That would be helpful?
hmmm
I open Market, click on my Items (since you said you want to see your purchased ones)
I open ItemType and select Camouflages …and I see my camouflages
the I add ship and I see camouflages and ships …
the selector does not work as adding selections up to an exclude selection (all non marked are excluded)
the select here joins the results of the made selections
you can influence your results when you’re using the selection in combination with the search bar (!)
example
enter in search bar “t-34” hit enter, then select itemtype camouflage then select Nation = Germany
and you will see only 2 instead of 18 results…
not rocket science, just knowing how to use these modern f§$%&#* filtering mechanisms
Why would that be the correct result? Who would want that from clicking those two filters?
Yes, I agree it does. The first selection is subtractive. It starts with everything and removes anything that is not the selection. The second and subsequent selections are additive. I find that both illogical and detrimental to a(my) natural expectation.
This has very limited usefulness. It does not work for my example, using USSR or Russia as a search term gets after filtering for camos get very limited results, missing most of the camos.
Perhaps you could take a moment to educate me. What can I do to see all my USSR camos?
I have 185 camos when i use filter.
If I then search USSR I get 0 results.
If I instead search Russia I get 3 results. (one is a camo for a German tank)
(search doesn’t look at the tags)
OK, glad to see you can reproduce my results, I was confused why you couldn’t.
