I just checked it out and tested this on my non season character. When you salvage an uber, YOU ONLY GET ONE RESPLENDENT SPARK. You need five PLUS $50M gold to craft an uber. To share, I was playing like a madman last season and got only 7 ubers overall, where four I use throughout my characters, and that is the ENTIRE season, so when is the average player going to get enough ubers to get the mats to craft one? I really thought that Blizzard was going to do the right thing and make it more friendly for average players such as receive at least two sparks when salvaging an uber. This is really kind of pointless and sure as hell does not push for me to grind to the seasons end. Blizzard didn’t throw us a bone, they threw us a little indiscrete kibble. I just don’t get it…
Whaaaaat, Blizzard stretching content and make it an insufferable grind?! I can’t believe it!
what a joke, next season please
The average player has zero uber uniques. Unless today’s patch has radically increased their drop rate, the average player is unlikely to ever see one in the first place.
This patch today is for streamers and hyper dedicated players only.
This game is the definition of insanity, all this stuff is gone at end of season anyway unless you Wanna grind the same old “content” on the graveyard that is eternal with your Uber
If y’all don’t want this kind of update then why did dozens of you ask for it?
I consider myself a dedicated player as I have played the game about 40-50 hrs per week on top of my full time regular job. I have been doing Duriel runs with 4 man groups for a while and I still do not even have 5 ubers, I was lucky to get three, and that wis with consistent grinding. I also read somewhere that the drop rate is only increased to .05% in areas outside of Duriel, so this to is not going to be a game changer by any means. Blizzard just doesn’t get it. Gamers want to be happy, and these irrelevant stupid changes only make players more angry. After three seasons of this garbage, I think I am going to give this game a rest as this garbage just makes me more angry than anything else.
fixt.
at least blizz knows it’s players!
That is it! I have just done something that I have never done before with a Diablo game. I DELETED THE GAME FROM MY SYSTEM. Back to playing D3 again.
I am done with Diablo 4!
Will we see you on the D4 forum tomorrow?
This is really an obscenity. I wondered what “increased drop rate” is? It must be still awful if they need to be so secretive about it. Anyway I just ran 3 t100 dungeons because wtf and remarkably I came up empty so heart attack avoided.
I had some uniques in my stash, when I salvaged I didnt get a resplendent spark, what am I doing wrong?
Literally dozens out of literally 10’s of thousands so effective point.
It’s for uber uniques only. And are you salvaging at the alchemist? I believe that’s where the new function is at.
Why are some people still defending this? They’re basically saying they’re okay that there’s nothing to do after beating thr campaign. They’re okay that the players are dropping off. They’re okay with a mediocre product after 8 months. Don’t get me wrong it’s got a good foundation but they don’t seem to want to build on it. It feels like we’re just being punished for offering any constructive criticism and it sucks.
5 to 1 conversion seems right to me, but only if the shards are tradable.
At least give players the option to cash out on 1-4 ubers if they can’t get 5 shards.
*oh right blizzard can’t stop duping exploits so it either won’t be tradable or everyone will have all the ubers
Ah I see. Thanks. Alchemist transmutes the sparks. You don’t seem to be able to salvage there.
Average player is not supposed to have uber uniques.
Current average players have uber uniques because of RMT, if there would be no duped mats/rmt, you would be like “WoAH!” when seeing someone with a uber unique, like it is supposed to be, ultra rare and not for casuals.
That’s my expectation. My 99% confidence estimate is correct about the original wording.
50 million should be nothing by now.
And I’m still Uberless btw
To be fair, I think 3X NM 100 is not enough. If you do 100 Duriels, try doing 100x NM and maybe you’ll see some difference.
I’m gonna try to run a couple of NM 100s today and see if I get luckier than my Duriel runs.
