I feel like the mid season patch either proves theres nothing wrong with tempering and you all are just crying to cry. Or maybe your cries are valid and they dont know what to do.
I personally think tempering is just fine the way it is. Sometimes i get the affix i want, other times i dont. Yes even on a 3ga item. You win some and you lose some, thus is life
I think they know there is a problem but its a huge one and the fix has to be perfect. Too soon to have changes. They wont do anything with tempering until S5. How about them barb buffs though? Like wut???
I do agree. If they think there is a problem, im sure it wont be until s5 or even s6 until they change it. My opinion (hate me for it) is that they truly dont see an issue, but i agree with you, that if they do, they’ll want to make sure it’s damn near perfect before implementing it.
Either way though, no matter what they do, people will still cry
As for the barb buffs i didnt pay attention lol i never play barb
Yeah I feel its fine as well. They prob looked at play time and interactions metrics. Theyve already said they make decisions off data so it does make sense as we are almost 4 weeks in and I still have a lot of friends playing. This time S3 most had already finished their journy.
I still feel the grievance is coming from credit card warriors expecting BIS.
Are we really surprised on Barb buffs? I even called it in a thread yesterday. Now the lack of tempering changes doesn’t surprise me for a mid-season patch. If anything they’ll make changes come S5, and I get the feeling they’ll touch on it for the next livestream.
I don’t see anything major happening to it though. Or at least not what people are expecting anyway.
mind blowing patch in my view…dont even know what to say
I know right! Buffs to all classes, no nerfs, and a bunch of bug fixes and QoL improvements
Honestly, the tempering system itself is fine and good (in my opinion). I understand people’s frustration with it, but I think that’s a combination of not understanding what it really is, and what the goals of it are.
If you’re going into it expecting to get some ideal result with minimum time and effort by pressing 1-2 buttons, yeah, there will be many tears. I guess for the me-too crowd with their cookie cutter builds and shopping list of items that some website told them they need, it’s rough out there. 
My only real complaints about it are some of the specific tempers themselves. For example, Rogue has 5 ‘Basic Augments’… Rogue has 5 Basic Skills… sounds great, right? Except 2 of those tempers are for Heartseeker. Too bad if you use Blade Shift.
It’s small stuff like that that annoys me, but for the most part it’s fine.
Good one.
Just make resetting cost 100 million gold. That way you still have to bang FRIGGIN HARD to grind enough to reset it. 100 million gold!!! We bang damn hard for that!!!
By your logic, barbs were weak and needed more help lmfao.
