Announcements - Upcoming global chat system changes - Forum

Thanks so much for doing this. I remember you saying that this would be a tough change to make on the technical end, so good work figuring it out. Available to mediate cross-league trades and mirror services. Send me a PM here or in-game.

Very needed and appreciated change, I can't tell you how many times I've been farming ledge or fellshrine, started talking in global and been reluctant to make a new instance or head to the next zone	Posted by Alestor on Jul 16, 2013, 9:25:31 PM Quote this Post

best news since the announcement of open beta!	Posted by Aczeren on Jul 16, 2013, 9:35:53 PM Quote this Post
A most needed change. Now one won't have to decide whether they should continue play the game or be able to follow an interesting conversation. Light as a neutral force. The new flesh emerges.	Posted by Baronfuming on Jul 16, 2013, 9:37:44 PM Quote this Post

Isn't this how it already is? Besides, the last I checked, Trade chat is pretty much just people spamming buying/selling things; there's hardly a way to get an effective price check asking anywhere. I know it's a barter economy and all, but if what someone's wanting to pay for something is far, FAR lower than what 95% of everyone else is willing to pay, then why take less and run the risk of the buyer deciding to immediately re-sell it for profit? I recommend using global to price check actually. Unless there's been a clear rule about it, trade chat is best reserved for buying/selling posts. In my experience, PCing in trade chat can lead to, yknow, actual chatting in trade chat, which isn't the purpose of that chat. first off, thank you for the change. Well needed patch imo. i know when i use global sometimes people get all pissy and say "THATS WHAT TRADE CHAT IS FOR NOOB" or ill get like 3 pm's with all different values and the values are way higher or lower than eachother.

Its better late than never time again! Are those previously listed numbers of 100 players per channel accurate, and if so, will 100 continue to be the channel cap? Also, what effect, if any, will difficulty (and league, for global) have on chat channels? IGN: KoTao	Posted by KoTao on Jul 16, 2013, 9:41:51 PM Quote this Post
Score one for GGG. :) Now when is trade getting revamped? Then gambling err....crafting. Crafting doesn't exist in POE. Gambling does...and the house always wins. Velocireptile - I LOL'ed. Which made me fart. I wish the office were empty right now :( Hardlicker - I had to push the dog out of the way so I could get to the sexy quilt.
