Itemization question

If we already have a lot of legendary aspects stored in our stash, will those automatically go into the codex when S4 arrives? This is specifically about the Eternal.
What about the gears that have been upgraded already, especially the uber uniques we already have? Will they be reset back to the original level?
Will the existing uber uniques that we already have also be considered legacy items and cannot be upgraded or masterworked? I guess they are meant to be turned into sparks in the Eternal once S4 starts?

A lot of these changes are making the game more time consuming. As a casual player, I am not feeling very positive. A lot more boring grinding is coming.

I likely will not play in the seasonal realm when S4 starts with all these changes. I may play on Eternal to re-gear all my rogues and barbs. It will take a while. If the expansion will also increase the skill points, paragon, and/or character level, etc. I will have to say Goodbye to seasonal content until whenever I feel like I am ready to start a new character. Not completely great news.

Considering you won’t have a S4 character when S4 launches, I doubt it. I’ll let you think about that one…

I know. I am really talking about the Eternal. Guess I should have made that clear. Thanks

All gear before S4 will not change. It will be marked as legacy but other than that unchanged

I guess so. All right. I just want to say in case the dev team wants to know. They cannot create an exciting moment for me when something nice drops if the drop rate is very low. Now in S3, I do not feel excited at all when I got one uber drop from 204 Duriel runs. What I feel is “finally…oh, it is a useless one.”

I am holding my judgement until I get a chance to try it.
Sounds good on paper but that doesn’t always translate to reality

It does no sound good to me. It means infinite grinding. That is not cool.

That is the norm for arpgs. Now you may not need the best gear to do everything and can stop at that point if you want.

Yep, exactly what I plan to do. Just be happy with what I can get. Since the experience and expectation will be dropped, so will the spending.
