I DO NOT LIKE THE NEW TRADE CHAT SYSTEM AT ALL!

I am used to do my maps close the Chat and then browse later to see what people have posted. Thats not possible anymore when I hide the Chat I get disconnected.
THAT SUCKS.
Change that back pls and think about a better option, people cannot trade more often/(its harder to trade anything now).

So when you hide chat it disappears? That really sucks, because having it sitting there, blocking the entire left portion of your screen because lets face it, when you are fighting enemies on the left, having all that scrolling changing text just makes it more likely oyu will die.

Just tested it, the chat stays there on the left like it always used to. I don't think there is an easy option to hide it like the above player suggests.

If I understood correctly, trade chat is also divided into channels. Does this mean if I post in trade ch.1, people connected to trade ch.2 wont see my post?

I hope not, because that would mean trading is even harder to do now. Is there a command to "/join the trade channel which has the most people in it, because why would I care about any other channel?"

i agree on #3!

Not only that. Also, you won't see ANY previous posts in the channel you've just joined. So, no browsing previous posts for you (or anyone).

So if I disconnect from trade chat, to avoid the clutter when I'm playing, I dont get to see the trade log that happened in the meantime anymore?

Trading was thus made even crapier and more time consuming...? GG

Absolutely correct. I have no idea how they alpha-tested and couldn't see this.
ALSO, there's NO guarantee that you'll even re-log to the *same* # channel after logging of it.

Ok time for me to make a suggestion!



What if trade chats had a title, trade 1 : trading currencies, trade 2 : trading rares, trade 3 : trading unique..

You got the idea.


Or maybe a range, 1->5 rares, 6-10 : currencies.. etc

1-> 10 buying 11->20 selling


etc etc

It was divided before as well, we just had no control over it and changed the channel randomly (kinda) when entering new instance. This part was actually improved as you can see what channel are you in and change it when you want.

Yeah, it sucks.

You can see the number and manually change it if you don't like the channel it picked for you. The command is /trade X where X is the number of the channel.

Oh, good to know, thanks. It doesn't help much, but at least it's *something*.

I thought this was true only for global chat, not trade.

Anyway, we need trade separate by loot type (Rares, uniques, Q-gems, non-Q-gems, crafting orbs...) or transaction type (WTB, WTS, WTT), not arbitrary "channels".
