Masterworking system is dreadful

I have 2000 +hours into Diablo 4 and I’m ready to quit this game. I find it hard to believe Blizzard intends for objucite farming to make of 60% of the games end game play time but that’s what’s happening for me. I play 3-4 chaper season, love building them up and getting them as strong as possible BUT… then I have to masterwork. If I didn’t care about the actual rolls and trying to make the most powerful version, no problem. BUT I do. You say you want the feel good moments… great, so do I. BUT spending hours upon hours farming for a stupid crafting material only to have it disappear trying to crit roll masterwork amd then the gear os worse than you started… start over. Feels like crap, repeatedly. 4000 feel like crap moments isn’t negated by 1 feel good moment. Please fix the system with save points in the masterworking process or buff the crap out of masterworking materials. I’m talking 5x the materials. Farming materials should not take up more than 5% of a users time. We shoild be farming amazing gear and playing the actual game content (need more of that too btw). Love the game but the masterworking system as is feels sooooo bad I’m not sure it’s worth playing for me. Thos has been complained about so much by the playing community, not sure why you don’t just fix it?

ARPG’s are grindy games, mate. This season is also quite grindy relative to others. That said, the season is long and you have time to grind it out if you so choose.

I busted 2 nice amulets in a row. Was not fun.

Blizzard definitely did something and made hitting the better affixes even harder. Bricked six polearms in a row even with using the reset scroll. A couple I didn’t even hit either of the two affixes at all and it’s not like GA polearms or two handed weapons in general are dropping like candy to begin with.
Certainly bricked items last season but just a handful at most, not remotely like this.

100% agree with OP. MASTERWORKING SUCKS!!! It would be sooooo easy to fix as well. Just make it so that the reset only takes you back to the last crit tier (4, 8, 12) instead of all the the way back to the beginning. Maybe you could make the tier 8 and 12 resets cost a little more or something, but the way masterworking is right now is garbage. I don’t masterwork past the fourth tier anymore because it’s just a colossal was of time and resources.
