[AH Bot] HappyAuction

[quadfan75]

try xSetInputDelay(20) or around there. others report similar wierdness which i simply cant reproduce on my system. this is the old haSetGlobalDelay which many folks seemed to rely on to fix issues on their specific systems

Thx ! I will try it.

i think it with hearthstone itd be an AI bot... it wouldnt be too hard to make a good one too. basically for every instance of a game it would build a decision tree and iterate on it using a genetic algorithm to arrive at which best action to take... unlike with other games its possible to do this in a short time since the decision set is small.

The problem with the AH in other games like GW2 is that they are too efficient. The buy order/sell order system ensures that no items will be significantly mispriced. The D3 AH was perfect in this regard. It's hugely inefficient with a high volume of trades. A flipers paradise.

There's a certain on-line card game on Kickstarter that I think is worth keeping an eye on (don't want to name it but it shouldn't be hard to find). It's a game like Hearthstone only it will have trading and even an integrated AH. I'm hoping the AH is more like the D3 system rather than GW2, but we shall have to wait and see.

Even if it doesn't have a D3 style AH I think it might still be worth botting the main game as it's f2p so scaling the number of accounts will be cost effective.

'mispriced' is not the point
Hunting botters + AH are the point. (especially Chiness gold botters)

They hunt and make their stash empty automatically in AH

If an item is listed at below market value then it is 'mispriced', whether it's a botter or a normal player doing the listing.

aha^^ got it!

You're right.
If a game AH is based or shows 'average price' , like gems , it can't be sig mispriced.

so has the AH closure announcement affected everyone's sales?

For me, the pain caused by AH's closure announcement is too much to endure that I don't care about my sale anymore. I'm still shocked atm. Sniff sniff

After announcement gold prices went down about 30%. Overall number of sales went up after announcement, but now it dropping down. So there is no positive tendency.

Up and down as always, tomorrow peps will wake and find they still play diablo and my golds still buy them better equip. 6 Mounts are long to wait, if you are a player wanting something...

Very strange but I sold many expensive items after announcement so I think it would be hot half-year because more and more people are beginning to understand that without AH it will hard to buy starting gear for expansion/gems/reagents and also many people quit from botting after last banwave. And don't forget that AH will be closed not tomorrow or even next month - we have 5+ months and I think we need HA for this period.

MATRASUS: Totally agree.

If any patch occurs, please update V51 (or both), because V52 seems crappy here.

Thank you!

@ Chuichu

If you plan on doing any updates in the future, is it possible to expand the maximum amount of HA instances from 16 to maybe 32?

[ChuiChu]

v53 posted... hopefully the memory fix solves several issues recently reported

reminder: use xSetInputDelay as you would the old haSetGlobalDelay if that is what you used to fix certain timing issues, esp if you choose to use vsync off.

@orbit: i made a quick update to increase client limit but didnt actually test it since it was just a minor change.

The thing I admire about you the most is, you are not leaving the boat, like a captain should do. Tnx Chu
