Patch 10 Soon, Article Tomorrow, Twitter Wave #4, Generated AH Items, Sword of Justice #2, Poison Dart

Update: Systems article will not hold a release date. (source)

Beta patch 10 Before Weekend and Character Wipe.
Looks like we will be seeing the patch before this weekend if all goes well (as early as tomorrow). Keep in mind that all character data will be wiped with this patch.


Official Blizzard Quote:



We're currently in the process of preparing the next beta patch for release and wanted to provide all beta testers with a heads-up that a character wipe will be included. Please note that, as with previous character wipes, this wipe will also affect gold, items, followers, and artisans.

We're hoping to release beta patch 10 before the weekend (potentially as soon as tomorrow evening), but we don't yet have a precise ETA. We'll provide more information as it becomes available, and patch notes will be posted once the patch is live.

Thanks for your continued feedback and testing!

Generated AH Items
Blizzard has told us in the past they will not be placing items up on the AH and that it will be fully player driven. Bashiok confirmed this once again today.


Official Blizzard Quote:



Gold and other stackable items can be searched for and purchased from multiple people in a single transaction. You can get a better explanation here: http://us.battle.net...opic/3595343777

In short, no, we don't generate any items or gold on the auction house. It's a player driven feature and the items you're buying are from what other players have found and placed on the AH for sale. There can certainly be a situation where you may want to buy 1 million gold and only 850,000 is available in total from all current auctions. You'd be informed of this when presented with a final purchase price.

Any word on whether we will have better search features in final release?
We do want to have a full search, and not just drop down selectors, but it's a feature that may or may not make it in for the initial release. We think the drop downs do work pretty well right now, especially considering the randomness of the vast majority of items. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
