Version 1.0.5
Trade chat has been rate-limited to prevent message flooding. The speed that it is set to (3 seconds per message) is still faster than the amount that is classified as abusive. If this reduces the amount of repeated messages in trade chat then we may be able to make the trade channels larger, so that messages get more exposure.

3 seconds... make that 30sec at least per channel next patch

Freeze Mine now deals damage, increasing as it goes up in levels. It always freezes and the freeze duration is longer than the damage would normally cause.

Probably lost 15% of the top ladder players on this one, or just added a few bosses to the "skip" list best case

Searing bond no longer stacks damage from multiple beams.

Did they just nerf searing bond???

The damage of Searing Bond has been increased by around 400%.

My bad :) I'll try it out but I don't expect this to be viable with 400% increase... should be more like 4000% increase

Oh, I don't expect it will be 'clean&sweep high-tier maps' either but it should be a nice support skill. For example, it might do well on cyclone-RF-equilibrium build, it takes just a split second to cast the totem before you dive in and it surely can't hurt, also, that build probably already has some burning damage bonuses so the synergy is good too.

Increase the 3 secs, still too much spam. Also it's kinda annoying that in act 3 cruel all stuff you see when you go look for a party is people WTS or WTB. Give them a seperate tab, like trade grouping or something or finally make an auction house so we can actually have a better trade system instead of this thing of the 80's where you are forced to spam trade chat every 5 minutes in the hopes someone is online and in that specific channel to buy it.

It's all so very cumbersome.

I get an "your client needs to be updated" message, when I am already in the main menu now. But when I restart, PoE doesnt want to update ...anyone else got the same problem?

Highly disappointed that after all this time, you finally address this huge issue, and go with such a low number that it might not even do anything. It should be 10 seconds min, if not 20 to 30.

We're starting small and going up based on observing behaviour. Slapping a 30 second cooldown on trade chat out of the gate could really hamper trade. This is one thing that's hard to test in-house.

tbh i've been watching trade chat for weeks and months .. and a 3 second delay won't stop the spam at all .. it really needs a 10 sec delay at least. there are still plenty of other opportunities for trading like poe.xyz and the forum here, so people won't be bothered by it except the usual spammers (which get reported or ignored anyways)

what the trade chat really need is a way of filtering the messages.

give us a panel where we can choose what a message needs to contain (or not to) to be shown in our client.
that means :
1) a box for keywords required in the message

2) a box for "forbidden" keywords (ie : messages with keywords in this box are discarded)
(such a box is also required in the party window)

3) lists of the object types (going from general types to specifics base types) to tick, with possibility of choosing the rarity.

first list should be something like :
¤ weapons (¤ normal |¤ magic |¤ rare |¤ unique)
¤ armours (¤ normal |¤ magic |¤ rare |¤ unique)
¤ jewellery (¤ normal |¤ magic |¤ rare |¤ unique)
¤ potions (¤ normal |¤ magic |¤ rare |¤ unique)

then you get a list expanding weapons :
¤ claw (¤ normal |¤ magic |¤ rare |¤ unique)
¤ dagger (¤ normal |¤ magic |¤ rare |¤ unique)
¤ 1h sword (¤ normal |¤ magic |¤ rare |¤ unique)
¤ 2h sword (¤ normal |¤ magic |¤ rare |¤ unique)
¤ wand (¤ normal |¤ magic |¤ rare |¤ unique)
¤ staff (¤ normal |¤ magic |¤ rare |¤ unique)
¤ 1h mace (¤ normal |¤ magic |¤ rare |¤ unique)
¤ 2h mace (¤ normal |¤ magic |¤ rare |¤ unique)
¤ 1h axe (¤ normal |¤ magic |¤ rare |¤ unique)
¤ 2h axe (¤ normal |¤ magic |¤ rare |¤ unique)
¤ bow (¤ normal |¤ magic |¤ rare |¤ unique)

same for amours, jewellery and potions, and possibly some lists expanding claw, dagger etc in their base types (nailed fist, sharktooth claw, awl etc).
