Auction House Issues: January 15th

Recommended Posts

46091-auction-house-revamp-in-patch-83.j

Blizzard has posted a list of issues that are currently affecting the revamped Auction House on live servers.

Blizzard LogoBlizzard (Source)

We’re aware of and working on a number of issues with the new Auction House:

  • The Upgrades Only filter can show some wands and shields that are not upgrades.
  • While selling certain items, non-related pets will sometimes appear in the list of current auctions.
  • Players are sometimes unable to buy out an auction in which they are the highest bidder.
  • Sold auction rows can disappear from the Auctions tab.
  • Sold auction rows can display the wrong quantity sold.
  • There is no chat notification when an auction sells.
  • The Uncollected filter can show owned battle pets.
  • While selling a caged pet, the price columns are misaligned in the list of current auctions.
  • Some players have experienced attempting to cancel an auction that has bids enabled, but no bids yet, and receiving an incorrect warning that they will be charged an extra 5% penalty. This penalty message is only meant to be shown if there’s an active bid on your auction. If there is not an active bid, you can safely proceed with canceling, and the penalty won’t be applied.

We’ll continue to investigate all of the above and develop fixes wherever possible. If you’re experiencing any issue with the new Auction House, we suggest you first disable your addons and try again.

Thank you!

Its an awesome vamp when you need to buy something but to sell...  the undercutting is real , they should set a base value for things of the currect xpac idk if its possible but it would make every profession somewhat useful.

The "problem" is that everyone selling is min-maxing the tools of the trade. So, things like alchemy are only profitable if you craft during the best Silas proc, for example. That's the current state of the market, you need to heavily invest into having the very best conditions (craft only rank 3 recipes + tools min-maxing) in order to turn out a profit.

The AH just went through a complete reset, it's going to take a week for it to stabilize again. Also, don't know where you've been but people automatically undercut with TSM and Auctioneer anyways.

How is it not right? It's business. It's how it's always worked, and how anything works really. 

My only annoyance is with no Auctioneer to check them I have to do it manually, which is annoying... Got to learn how to TSM I guess

All TSM does is automate the analysis based on variables you can adjust. You're basically advocating that no one should be able to perform statistical analysis on a digital economy because you don't want to.

The best thing about the AH update is unit pricing for volume eliminating pages of crap. In fact, that you only see the lowest price/unit of the item you're looking for, actually ENCOURAGES undercutting more than before. Additionally, the amount of load reduction this has placed on the back end running of the AH is evident in how quickly the AH behaves compared to before.

Heres my point , if i farm 10 hours per week some mats for example i don't think its right that i need to use addon and or use 2 or 3 other hours just to sell them and most of the time its a struggle. It may be because i am not good with the 'auction house game' and business in general but i understand the value of the current system. Its just not for me , and im sure im not the only one thinking that.

Probably not, but like anything in life, it's about getting the upper hand. Ebay and Amazon have the lions share in their industry for a reason, same as Walmart etc.

The overhaul for me at least, has nullified some addons, since Auctionator/auctioneer doesn't work, and I've not got to grips with TSM properly, but it is still a game of relisting as much as possible since its lifo no fifo...

While I played "the auction house game" long, long ago just to experience it, I do not lime it either. I think the point fxlm187 is thinking about is, if you do invest time to farm Materials to sell (bc. you like farming, you are a solo player, whatever), you are doing a service to other people and should be rewarded with gold without having to invest also time in "the auction house game". Since you have to do that, farming in itself becomes less profitable/rewarding, which is a loss, I think.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
