Hm, not sure how I feel about this. It makes it easier to find both extremes (just put up, about to end) for sniping low buyouts or low bids, respectively, rather than just "knowing" how to find them so I guess that's a general improvement for everyone. Still, it feels weird. Oh well.
I also hope "DPS" includes AvgDmg for Sources. Because logic.
Very nice! I especially like that socketed gems won't be accounted for in the search.
Shh, you're gonna jinx it

Assuming that by "isn't high enough" you mean "nobody has bid on it yet" then, yes, you can cancel it.

I welcome this improved Auction House with open arms.
Now I can actually find the majority of the items I want easier. It'll also make selling said items easier and bring more money.

You can't cancel if you have any bids.
And like I said, you can only cancel it if nobody bid on it. If there's been any bids at all on the item, you cannot cancel it.
I'm really glad we're finally getting these improvements but WTF. After seeing some of they fixes and how they "get it" its seriously like a sprinter running a 20 second 100m and then they next race he runs a 10 second 100m. They were so far off the mark is like they were trying to lose.
This stuff is literally common sense stuff.
The mistakes they made is literally shit you notice before beta.
"Hey lets make legendary weapons have the same boring ass stats and only do half damage of magic/rare weapons you can find at that level. Let also make them hard as hell to find too."
"Hey lets have skills that have 30+ seconds of cooldown but does under 200% damage."
"Hey do you think this one skill where you can spam, leech life and does more damage is too much better than this other skill that bleeds at 200 damage in 5 seconds."
"Hey do you see this auction UI lets add no sorting, only 3 property parameters, no and/or capabilities, no ability to end auctions early, remove property for certain items that have the property, let not have stuff that's a norm in search this millenia."

I almost want to buy the first one I see as some sort of pity to the guy who got it to drop.
The sad part is that, by the numbers, some of the skill changes are still underwhelming even with getting double the damage.
Well, the alternative of them never getting it and running one of my favorite franchises straight into the ground is a lot more disheartening. A lot of the problems felt like the game was rushed (irony is indeed ironic) or just a lack of clear direction, too many chefs in the kitchen, etc. What's done is done and I think Blizz can be forgiven.

So what's the deal with the compare tooltips? The post states that they're now available on the recommended items page... but doesn't mention if they're everywhere else too.
It would be really nice to be able to tell if something I was buying was actually an upgrade (without relying on d3up etc).

So anyways, what's the timeline for 1.04?
I quit the game until they fixed the basics and 1.04 is looking promising for a comeback, specially since they're fixing WD pets.

I don't have a problem with the changes and all that, just humorous how wildly off-the-mark some of these skills were (and some still are, Sentry?). Like, Seven-Sided strike at 777% damage was cute for the 7's and all that flavor but ... no, that's just a bad damage dealing skill. We'll see if it does better at 1777% instead, I guess.
It's supposed to go tomorrow, I believe.

Oh hey, the AH is out of alpha.

Mr. Community
So after getting scammed of 4.5 mil gold (I'm trying not to think about it)... this dropped!
Finally a weapon with all useful stats. The problem now is the auction house limits to 3 stat filters. I put it up for 20 mil start bid and 99mil buy out. LETS SEE HOW IT GOES.
Current bid at 21 mil! 14hrs to go.

This is me currently in my best gear - but I haven't played in over a month. You think if I went on now and browsed the AH I could find upgrades for cheap? I remember an upgrade for a weapon would have cost me at least 4-7mil before, minimum, and it would have been a mild upgrade.
How about now?
edit: Fuck, they're finally making the AH searching -not- balls?! Why would I even want to search now?!

Barbarian overlords, what should I upgrade next?
Keep in mind I don't want to be a WW, I love the way frenzy works and how I have my skills set up currently.
I'm thinking I need more vitality as a base point, then I'm assuming trying to weasel in some crit on my bracers and helmet while waiting for the weapon market to over saturate after 1.04.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Wow. Isn't this like exactly what Kripp was talking about in his "How Blizzard should fix end-game D3"-video? GJ Blizz.

That Paragon preview is enough to get me back into the game. Can't wait for 1.0.4, gonna be my first time playing in quite some time!

Wow, I never expected actual stat increases.
Holy shit base stat increases yes yes yessssss

That's exactly the thing that's making me say "What?". It's sooooo weird.
Yep, the fact that they listened is a really good sign for the future of this game.
They essentially made the level cap 160 but levels 61 to 160 give you MF bonus on top of stats. That's a huge change for a patch and not an expansion.
Kripp's idea was actually that only Inferno champion and boss kills would count towards the next level system, but this system will do.
Good shit dude! And someone said you wouldn't get 20 mil for that lol. I think it should be going up some more.
It's the same alternate advancement system nearly everyone talked about, not just Kripp. :/
Well, Kripp had insane additions to that like nerfing all items tenfold, so....other than that, yep.
Also:
Official launch announcement in the days ahead -so next week? Fuck...
That's exactly what I thought when I read that.
Now if only they copied Athene's hardcore PvP spectator idea.
I am really liking this Paragon system, I hope its tested out well.
That's for PvP though.
