Dear Blizzard
I have been playing Diablo (1,2,3, D2R) and WoW since 1997 and 2004 respectively. I’m an older player and as my life has changed, I can’t devote hours and hours a day playing video games. I enjoy the adventure or rpg games. I do not play shooter games and I do not PvP. I like finding items. Good items. I was excited for ancient items and primal items when they were introduced. However, I find it very frustrating and de-motivating to continue to play when I finally get a primal that may be useable only to have it roll so badly that I just slavage it. I don’t think that’s how it should work. With a 1% chance of an item being primal, the rolls should be better. For instance, armor should never roll on an item that has a main stat of strength or dexterity. It’s useless. Especially now that everyone can jump in an Echoing Nightmare and come out with a 125 augment gem to put w/e they want on an item. I can’t roll intelligence on barbarian specific items so why should armor roll on my items? I get that armor isn’t a main stat… but my point is it’s a useless stat for strength and dexterity classes. Items already don’t roll specific stats based on class so I don’t know why this can’t be fixed. More broadly, why not add a way that you can reroll a primal into another primal? It’s a game after all. RMAH has been gone for a long time… we can’t trade gear like D2R unless the person wwas in group when it was found… and that only works for a couple of hours.
My point/suggestion/feedback is to take a look at the game. Have a primal reroll cost 2k souls or something and 1k other mats. I don’t know… a primal ouroburos wont get rerolled anyway. But my 3 pieces of wastes gear and lamentation would get rerolled sicne all of them rolled armor which makes them useless as that one stat F’s up the entire item. Primals are hard to come by for those of us not cheating with automation programs.
Below is a link to the items that I’ve gotten this season that COULD be useful… This doesn’t count the other primals that are not or could not be useful… which is another topic… why so many items that are not used for any end game content… remove some items so the gear that is useful can drop more frequently…

Actually primals are only gonna be there for those that are willing to put in the time. If you don’t have the time like you say then a well rolled non ancient or ancient item will be far better. Primals are not really needed, like I said just a chase item for those that have the time.

Primals are overrated, Ancient gear is more than enough to have.

The solution for players lacking time is called P2W. Healthy P2W, not like the one in DI. Let them opt-out of boring/time-consuming activities by paying and mark their accounts as P2W on the LB.
Theres no healthy P2W. And how would you seperate people whitout enough time, form people who have time. Rich people would just exploit P2W and dominate. This is stupid.

I’m not advocating for any type of pay to play solution. I am only suggesting that the powers that be take a look at the current game anmd fix things that need to be fixed. It seems that part of the code logic already exists as certain main stats cannot roll on certain gear so ensuring other stats that are useless for a certain class be removed. It was done for magic find and a few others years ago. I am also saying that primals are the end all for gear but it seems everyone has resigned themselves to the fact that for the most part, they suck and ancients work better. That’s probably because you can get ancients much easier than primals. To me, that says the primal “idea” is broken. Either that or like someone said, its just a carrot on a stick.
Or, remove some of the items that have zero use so that items that are relevant for progression can drop more frequently. If you have a chance to get 30 different rings or a chance to get 15 different rings out of the one ring you want, your chances are much higher with a pool of 15 rings.
Again, I’m not sayiogn make the game any easier… it’s easy enough as it is. I am saying fix the primal drop thign we all know is bad. We all know it sucks. That’s why everyone says ancients are better… and that means its broken. If ancients drop rate were changed to primal chance then we’d all still have normal legendaries under that same logic… doesn’t make sense.
I just think if you get a primal all stats should be able to be rerolled at the mystic.

In D1 I have been looking for a Strange Bow of Perfection and never looted it, no big deal, I have met my first online friends in this game and a cherish every minutes spent with them and they have been the most precious loots I had in D1
Then D2 & D3, I looted many Unique and Primal items which were BiS and I realized that without being surrounded by people (friends, acquaintances, others, …) these items had no value other than progress on the end game.
The chase for power have a complete different meaning for me, I’ll do it to keep up with players I enjoy to play with.
I think that your post point out few technicalities that worth to be taken care of, but in the end a loot chase stays a loot chase
Primals definitely need to be revamped/retooled/rewhatevered. As they are, they are just meme bait and .01% of the time they are exactly what the doctor ordered.
What the heck is this?
Just paste the link in your post, highlite it and click the " </> " tool.
