How on earth are we able to reroll master-working but not tempering? I have spent over a billion gold buying 2-3 GA 2h hammers and cannot catch my tempers ONCE. I am losing my mind and its the absolute worst experience. Idc how expensive you make it. Make it cost sparks, 10-50m gold and a bunch of legendary crafting mats but I have GG items completely ruined because I cannot get a temper that is even half-way viable for my build. This is the absolute worst experience. I play hardcore and I’d rather lose my gear and toon to death and start over then waste hours and hours target farming specific items or gold to buy them and for them to just be useless because I couldn’t catch a temper. Unreal and infuriating.

dude i completely agree with you it is complete garbage great items completely ruined because of it i just lost a perfect gear and came on here to complain about this very issue how can i spend millions upon millions on rolling one single affix and rework master work but you get 6 try’s to get 2 tempering’s some selections have 5+ options and then you get one you absolute don’t need at all 3 to 4 times in a row i about uninstalled the game because this is like the 3rd item i have bricked and it is so defeating on the amount of time waisted on farming gear you need to just throw it a way. BLIZ if you are reading this… THIS IS A MUST FIX NOW ISSUE.

So true this needs fixing ASAP.
Maybe I would play season 4 again if that is taken care of.

So you want them to just hand you a perfect 5/5 stat item?
You’d be back here complaining by the end of the week about how you have best in slot and the game is done etc.
Reset for tempers shouldn’t happen.
But there are lots of other solutions to the temper issue that are good neutral mediums across these forums
The idea of seasons being 3 months long is to keep you interested and playing for most of it.
Giving a reset option would make it so the last 2.5 months of a season would have minimal people playing.

I agree completely. We hunt for loot to push further. If they remove the grind for finding loot, the game becomes boring. I personally have zero issues with the tempering system.
Sure they could tweak the rng of it, but overall im okay with it. If my item doesnt get the stat i want… it just means i have to hunt for loot.
People think this is a game that you have to “beat”. No its a game thats designed for continuous play, to test your character and your skills to push further on more difficult tasks.
Looter arpgs are not for these people that want everything bis asap. There are many other arpgs out there they could play, that caters more to their play style. People act like arpgs are only for the diablo type games lol

Easy fix to this is they just need to add 2 options to pick from instead of rolling to one. Leave the limited rerolls. Make it pretty much the same as enchanting. Still odds of failure with limited rerolls but at least this way it wont feel so bad to find that perfect item just to brick it.

Everyone saying it ruins the grind is just absurd. Do you know how hard it is to find a perfect GGG item with your desired stats in the first place? Combine that with 12 slots needing to be farmed is an huge requirement of time investment. You can even make the tempering reroll be mats that have a time investment as well. To have nothing and the perfect piece bricked is asenine. You get unlimited rolls on enchanting and masterwork for a cost, why not tempering?

This is such a weird and bad take. This far into the season, I’ve yet to see a really good drop. The few 2 or 3GA items I’ve found were instant vendor trash because it’s always energy on kill, impairment reduction, some resist, life per second, overpower damage, damage over time, healing received, resource cost reduction etc. I bricked 30+ crappy weapons that I would hope to replace anyway before I managed to temper one. Just the idea of tempering an actually good item fills me with dread. That’s definitely not how I should feel about finding good items.
I quit in season 0 because of rivers of crap items and enchant bricking, came back for S4 because they promised to fix these things, but besides the aspect codex change (which is great) it’s just worse.
We need a way to save these ultra rare, ultra valuable, unobtainable items from the bricking system. Make it cost sparks, that’s fine and gives us a reason to do tormented bosses which are pointless now.
The 99.9999999% dead affixes also just need to go. There is zero doubt in my mind now that these are prioritised. Probably there’s an algorithm determining which affixes are never used by players and therefore should always roll.

Perhaps there could be a way to farm a rare item that would let you “untemper” something.

They could kill two birds with one stone. Make the cost to re-temper 10 steel, 5 pin cushion dolls, and 5 square gems. These are things that get collected over time, but have no value now. This would give those items value and at the same time avoid making it too easy to re-temper a great item.
100% agree with you. I trust the devs to fix it but I also no problem in just walking away if they dont and buy one of the other great games coming out soon instead of the expansion

No it doesnt. Lmfao. Having the best gear doesnt make the game boring at all. It opens up more oppurtunity to make gold by carrying etc. This is the most backwards elitism ideology people have and its dumb. The game has 5 characters to max out. You got the end game gear on one character. Great now clear all the hardest things. Done? Now level a new character and do the same. Theres literally hundreds of hours to be had even if you had maxed out gear
