Update 5 Release Notes and Auction House Beta

Re: Update 5 Release Notes and Auction House Beta

"The Auction House Beta has arrived! On February 19th at 9am PST, the Auction House will become live to use for a limited time. You’ll be able to buy and sell cards with each other using Credits. You’ll be able to use all the features of the Auction House during the Beta period and claim any cards or Credits you won at the end. Here’s some additional information about the Auction House feature and the Beta itself."



I haven't seen anyone post about this, but is this a mistake? I'm interpreting this as when you make sales or buy a card, you won't get the credits or card until after the beta period has ended (whenever that is). So no immediate claims after transactions are complete???

I never even noticed that. Hopefully not. That would suck. It would also limit people's ability to buy and sell. I'm planning on buying a card or two right away, but I'd also like to sell a few cards. I won't buy any more if I have to wait to get get credits from a sale.

Hopefully it means the end of the auction period if you don't buy it now. Definitely needs clarification though.

I highly doubt it, that would make 0 sense, even Cat Daddy would be affected by this as the flow of credits ($$$) would drop significantly.

Sorry if I missed this. If you post a card and no one buys it do you get the 20 credits back or no?

Re: Update 5 Release Notes and Auction House Beta

Hello NW!

Thanks for the info on the AH update. Is there any chance that super rare enhancements will be available in the draft board or some other means in the future? I have a large number of legendary pros with no enhancements because I am waiting for super rares to be released to the general population.

We have plans in the works to expand the Enhancement system. Until that time though, you'll be able to buy/sell Enhancements on the AH, including the Super Rare Enhancements.

Re: Update 5 Release Notes and Auction House Beta

lol just when I put SR enhancements on my RC Rodman.

Ah well, a new tier will nuke him, anyway.

Glad to hear you're expanding the enhancement system as with the crazy high ratings of Star Pros, the +15 is really like spitting in the ocean, and doesn't come into play unless its same player vs same player on same stat vs same stat.

Re: Update 5 Release Notes and Auction House Beta

To those who think SR's won't sell because of the price of card packs, let me ask you this; how much would you pay to buy a specific card (no matter the level)? Would you pay the same as a random card pack or more? An Auction House is great because it allows us to buy a card we need, not to buy packs with a small chance at the card we want. Considering people are quite happy to pay 6000 for a Leg/Star pack, I have no doubts they'd pay more to get a specific Leg/Star, seeing as proing is essential.

That was poorly worded by me, my bad. When a card sells you get the Credits from the sale right away. Same if you buy a card with Buy It Now, you'll get the card immediately. What I was trying to say is that when the AH Beta ends you will not have transactions "dangling". You'll need to collect your Credits and Cards by the end of the Beta. Transactions from the Beta will not carry over to the final AH release if that makes sense.


We'll limit new auctions to prevent someone posting an Auction that ends in 24 hours when there is only 12 hours left in the Beta.


Hopefully that helps clear it up.

Love or hate our economic model it will be this way for Beta, however, we'll be watching the data very carefully and reading your comments to determine if it is the right direction for the final release of the AH. Love it or hate it, definitely let us know your constructive thoughts.

One issue:

If you guys decide to change things after the beta, such as taking away the 20 credit rule, wouldn't that be unfair to us who bought/sold cards during the beta?

I lost the pictures on the cards after the most recent update. Any help on the issue?
