Auction House lag/delay

Every time I post an item to the AH there is a lot of delay from the time I pull the item from my bag till it actually posts.

5-10 sec delay when dragging item and getting defaulted price
30-60+ sec delay after hitting post

I know this doesn't seem like a lot of time but when you are trying to post many items it take forever. The rest of the game doesn't lag like this only AH.

Also, there is a several seconds of delay when you search for items.

Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue, I didn't see any other posts.

    I can confirm the delay when u search items its so annoying..
    Do keep ever present in your thoughts, my friend, that an illusion can kill you if you believe in it.
    And the real thing can kill you whether you believe in it or not.

    Confirmed it was doing this for me yesterday as well, mostly during the early afternoon CST but not so much later in the day, so I'd attribute it to too much traffic. I can see this causing problems if it causes people's items to be posted at incorrect prices or even possibly losing items due to the lag in pulling up the average price and actually posting the item (what if you relog before the posting goes through?). If there's a way to reduce the latency, it would be good for it to be done as soon as possible.

    This is not new. It seems to me to depend as much on where you are and what you're doing, as to demand on the AH.

    well i just came upon this ... was bidding on auctions for Rusted Iron Lockboxes. bid on about 12 or 15 auctions, took my money. shows i have won them in 'My Bids' yet i'm not getting any emails saying i won or was outbid and refunding it back. i took a picture even and it clearly shows that i won 3 auctions yet the email icon at the top clearly isn't highlighted (for new mail), and this was about 4-5 minutes later after the 3rd auction showed up as 'you are winning' and expired. i would post the picture but i can't figure out how to do it from my computer without the URL.

    I can't belive only 3 posts here.

    AH is working like a DEAD HORSE since the patch - in prime time I mean.
    Posting items and buying takes like 20-30 seconds. SOMething really needs to be done !

    P.S. for devs : log in and search AH now .. not in like 6 hours from my post - NOW and you'll see what we are talking about.

    We'll really appreciate a dev response here. Thanks !

    Yeah same issue here , I never ever really suffered lag in any way even in Protectors enclave until Module 2 came , the AH is awful right now.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the sort order is the root cause. Everyone will be submitting three searches where one would be all that was necessary if it defaulted to cheapest buyout.

    It's completely unusable ATM. Several minutes delay on buying or posting stuff :(

    Yeah...AH is next to unusable .... massive lag .... and when you fix this...PLEASE fix the sorting too.

    Anyhow, doesn't this thread belong in the "Bugs" section?
    Hoping for improvements...

    I wonder who's the genius that thought we would always like to see the highest price first. No, I'm not looking for the mark that costs 24K, I'm looking for the one that costs 100,000,000. You need to sort it twice to see the lowest priced item. All that sorting by that many people can't be good. Simple fix would be to list search results by lowest cost first.

    Not to mention that in some rare cases, the ordering doesn't work - for example at blue / green companions
    And yes - it MUST be fixed to show the LOWEST buyout first

    The auction system is seriously borked to the point that the game is unplayable, in my opinion. I have two backpacks full of items to sell. If it takes 60 seconds to post each item -- which it does, I timed it -- it's going to take me an hour and a half to research decent prices and post each item. This is an hour and a half out of my limited play time.



    Also, while you're at it, could you find some way to set the system so that jerks can't try to skew the prices by selling a potion of minor healing for 100,000,000 AD? I appreciate an open economy and all that but there has to be some regulation on prices. Being able to ignore a vendor and remove his entries from the auction display would be excellent -- then the jerks who post things for exorbitant prices will just get ignored and removed from the system.

    I agree, never had a problem until steam release/module 2. I think it's the influx of new or returning players. If it persists, they'll have to probably put the auction house on a better server to actually handle this. It'll either die down with us losing players or they'll have to fix it eventually.

    I'd be shocked if no one from Cryptic has noticed this problem, and that's only because I can't imagine no one on there staff actually plays this game at least once a week.

    "beckylunatic" Gateway AH should have column headers to sort by buyout, bid, end time, quantity, etc. These disappeared iirc with the module launch. It's obnoxious.

    DEVS seriously it takes forever for bug to be fixed in this game! You need a bigger team or what man, this is terrible on your part. Some things have been needing to be fixed for months. What the hell? :(

    Yeah I get lag in this game like no other. Run up to an NPC, have to wait a couple of seconds before the F key functions. AH lag like everyone else explained. Graphic lag, sometimes when I zone I I can see the area being redrawn, including blocks where items should be that disappear when its loaded.

    It was never like this prior to the single server approach. Whilst it is good for community it is a bad experience with either poor coding or underpowered hardware.

    No other game lags for me, even new state of the art MMO's coming later this year. My PX cost over $4k so its not that either and I have a 150mb internet fiber internet. All this lag is the server not responding fast enough.
