Diablo III Auction House Change Plans

[Aug 03, 2012, 10:53 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

A post on the Diablo III Forums from community manager Lylirra confirms that Blizzard is looking to follow player feedback and address some of the simple database oversights that impede the functionality of the game's auction house (thanks VG247 via Diablo N). Here's word:

Thanks for the feedback! We're looking to bump the number of Preferred Stats slots from 3 up to 6. We're also looking to bump the number of digits in the "Min Value" window from 3 to 5 (so you can search for Preferred Stat values higher than "999").

People insist on complaining that they want overpriced items. Is that what you meant to say? You can find plenty of stuff that isn't overpriced. It doesn't matter because then actually playing the game is pointless. You let the AH ruin your own experience, not the other way around.

The only AH change that would bring me back to Diablo 3 is the entire removal of it and a complete wipe of the all character. Then I'm back.

My best advice to you, sir: - Take a step back from the gaming world. - See a psychiatrist. You can say that to those who play the same over and over and over and over and over again. Blizz could instead of just playing the 3 monkeys (mouth -ears-eyes ) give "some" info more often , instead of letting peps get to that kind of rage were they get banned, but then again they don't give A.S

I rather liked Diablo 3 (except for the DRM), but two playthroughs was plenty for me. I find it difficult to believe there are really so many people playing it long enough to warrant having an auction house. Do that many people really play it over and over and over again like someone would play an MMO? Seems to me that Blizzard kind of lost the plot here. Either that or they're getting a little too evil, specifically trying to take advantage of obsessive compulsive people.

Not in anything but a very rough form. Just wait a year, it won't keep value like D2 did. Already down to $40-45 on some classified sites.

But the best thing they could do is get rid of both Auction Houses completely. They have utterly ruined the game. Both AHs are so over inflated it’s not even funny, how anyone can seriously think that someone going to buy anything costing as much as people are trying to sell them is mind blowing. I watch items and they will sit there and expire. But people still insist and try to sell items that are far over priced.

Next step: build a better game around your beloved (RM)AH.




Consoles? I owned two: a Pong clone and an Atari 2600. And that's it.

"Simple oversights", subtly put. Other obvious ones are sorting by the columns e.g. time to expire. How about the ability to put items in a watch-list and compare them? Why does it compare to equipped items when doing some things, but not others? And how about "OR" rules for the searches like "life per sec OR life on hit". AH is just about stuffed now anyway. There's rampant inflation on uber items while sellers are trying to start bidding on entry-level Inferno at millions of gold, but nobody is buying because people either want uber gear or don't have millions. Not that there's many people playing especially at entry level. I'm not even confident the uber gear is selling, unless the bidding starts low. No, I don't have any idea why I'm still trying to play this game. I can make progress in Act II now but only in low MF/GF gear so the gear I find is nearly all shit and nobody is buying the entry level stuff even at 20k buyout, so I'm barely breaking even. Farming Act II really is even less fun than Act I, which was already in negative-fun territory. This comment was edited on Aug 3, 2012, 14:27.

Far too little, far too late.

You still can't even sort stuff the way you want.

It's like looking through a bargain bin at Walmart.

Except more expensive, and you don't actually get anything for your money.




If you don't like where gaming is heading, stop giving your money to the people who are taking it in that direction.

Mr. Tact

If they are simple oversights, why do you need feedback to address them? Idiots.




Truth is brutal. Prepare for pain.
