FYI, saw they scheduled a long maintenance for this Tuesday.

Think they would drop 1.0.7 already after just a few days after some demonic essence drop rate tweaks, ruby changes, etc.?

@Anuiran Oh good info! I have not had time to try out the PTR so I didn't realize it was down.

Other thing I thought it could be is a fix to the AH. I was still having problems with may expired listings persisting, pages without 2 or 3 items on them, etc. If we are getting 1.0.7 on Tuesday, here's to hoping the AH wrinkles get worked out too.

Hmm, maybe it was a slight hiccup on your part Anuiran, because the PTR is up now for me. Had me going for awhile there! haha.

I really hope it's the patch though.

I hope this is the case, just searched for all of my RMAH items and quite a few aren't showing. Trying to re-list them times out and they still don't show.

I likewise think this is some major AH surgery. I can't find them, but I think there was a blue post at some point acknowledging the AH problems and that they didn't have a solution to them yet. Sounds like they might have something pretty major to do.

I agree with @theoryzero that it would be odd to send up the patch after making substantial changes to DE drop rates, recipe drop rates, crafting main stats and ruby damage changes. It seems like that would be too much faith to put into those changes to go live without any real testing on it. I think there's only going to be one last tweak, though, before it goes live so I see 1.0.7 going up until around 2/19 range.

ITs are still relatively high, but Rubies have taken a nose dive since they fixed the MinMaxDamage bug on them exclusively. If you're a gamblin' man, it could be worth an speculative investment on those in case they bump the damage back up.

Thanks for the heads up! Time to go surfing for that Elemental Arrow SoJ and thorns IK boots for my fun thorns build.

Aww, duration cut from 8 hours to 6 and they are starting at 5AM PST, not 3AM PST. Feeling less likely that 1.0.7 is coming tomorrow.

Ya'll better make sure that your auctions don't end within the maintanance timeframe...

Now it's down to an estimated 2 hours. I don't think I have bids on any items ending in the maintenance this time. I have a few ending shortly after it, but that's just coincidence. To anyone that found something they wanted in the brief maintenance window, good luck! I sure hope the auction house begins behaving itself again.

Bah, the Zuni ring I was bidding on would of ended in the old 8 hour maintenance period. Oh well, it went up to 50M+ anyway (too rich for me).

They don't have the 1.0.7 developers questions answered yet so I don't think the patch will happen for at least another week. I think this patch is about the AH weirdness.

I hope so. All I do on RMAH 3 now is play on the AH.

+1 for being clever.

Soooooo, can anyone else list anything on the AH? I can't. Seems like a rather unsucessful maintenance.

I can't.

I'm honestly boggled as to how this has become so bad. I don't get how they had it running fine all these months, make no apparent or visible change, and now it's halfway functional at best.

I play the game in the meantime but struggle to find a compelling reason to do so. I can deal with multi-week streaks of never finding anything valuable, but if I can't even move my stock in the meantime, I find little enjoyment in logging into the game.

Just logged in before and there's a notice of breaking news addressing the AH problems. Another maintenance tomorrow. Hope they fix the problems completely.

Interesting reply from a Blizzard CM regarding 1.0.7. Here's to hoping it drops next week or the week after!

I hope they fix the AH problem this time.
Most of my items appear unlisted. Poor buyers, they can't see my bargain buys tailored made for them!

The AH problems still persist. Was there even a maintenance this morning?

yea bad lag........and my items not showing as listed.
Some of my softcore GAH items even appear in my hardcore GAH pages and for a moment I was thinking of arbitraging in this lag space......

I let my auctions time out before ending my day this morning in light of the upcoming maintenance.

I return after sleeping and find that some of my items that were listed are gone. No indication in the log that they have timed out or sold, and no corresponding item or gold in my AH stash. Completely vanished.

I actually cancelled my expensive items and sent them to stash.
