Diablo III Auction House search options to be expanded

diabloiii

Blizzard is listening; after a posse of disgruntled Diablo III fans took to the Battle.net forums to complain about how difficult it is to find just the right kind of gear for their level ten thousand Witch Doctors, community manager Lylirra confirmed the developer is planning to make it easier for power-builders to score the perfect accessory.

“We’re looking to bump the number of Preferred Stats slots from 3 up to 6,” the representative told the seething masses. “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).”

I don’t know about you, but finding gear for my über-monk means stacking dex, double resistances, life per hit and strength, so this is going to save a heck of a lot of time. No word on when the change will be implemented; keep on eye out for patch notes.

Finally! I’m sick of only 3 different stats when searching for gear. Sometimes, you just need that extra Dex, Vit, LoH, +exp, +Attack Speed and a socket.

 

Wow, so this is where their priorities lie. Don’t fix the itemization (terrible legendaries, sifting through useless-for-your-class yellows) or expand/tweak the current mobs (because arcane fire chains vortex molten enemies are totally fair). Just funnel everyone through the auction house! No need to play the game for yourself ever!

I enjoyed D3 up to inferno, but after the ‘gear check’ phase I just got sick of it.

there is just as many complains about the bad AH as there is about everything else you talk about. and they are fixing the things you mention that are within reason.

 

They have more then one monkey working on the game, it’s just the auction monkeys turn.

 

What happened to the monkey in charge of fun?

 

he died in 2009…RIP

 

I can’t actually believe people are still playing this game! How many times can you
re-run the same story over and over again?
