Rawhide is still a bottleneck. Full stop

Why would you play the game properly, utilizing the tools the game gives you to min max your character? Did you just ask that? Ya man, what a waste of time, why bother.

lolwut

Why would I waste mats tripple criting something that wouod be replaced. Its a waste of gold and mats.

Sure tripld critting BLT, false death,ROK, MS makes sense. Everythign else unless unless its a 2ga+ there is no point wasting mats.

Still sitting on 50k mats with 5 items tripple crit

You are literally out of your element on this subject and don’t know what you’re saying. Obviously Im not referring to triple crit masterworking things you replace.
The fact you triple crited 5 things is irrelevant. Im talking about triple criting a mod. On purpose. You’re like I triple critted 5 things, whats the problem.

Come on man.

Hahaha… ok whatever you say.

Tho you also cant live in IH. You do need to do other end game activities if you want to be efficient with other mats that arnt obducite

Oh gee, do you? Tell me more.

Make all the noise! Hear Hear!

It’s like they expect you to treat the game like your 2nd job or something it’s dumb as shees

The most efficient way to farm rawhide currently are uber boss rotations. Let that sink in. We are bottlenecked by a normal quality material and the best way to acquire it is killing endgame bosses, and not only that, specific bosses with more armor drops than jewelry or weapons. That is fundamentally flawed.

The outliers posting about how it isn’t an issue for them, that is awesome. I wish it wasn’t for me, but it is and is for a lot of people. I gave up on triple critting anything, settled for doubles and let fate decide the final outcome. The scarcity of this material is pulling me away from things I want or choose to do in the game, to things I have to do in the game. I am pretty sure that isn’t in their current philosophy. Why add all the variety of activities then?

Switching gear and specs around is fundamental to the game and for some a source of enjoyment. I feel totally locked into what I am currently playing because of the rawhide issue.

All this being said, I do believe we will have a fix this coming week. I hope so anyway. I’d like to try some other builds and variants and don’t want to live in a single dungeon room killing a boss over, and over, and over, and…

I love how 10 days into the season people expect to have all their gear 12/12. How dare they not give enough mats to git er done!

You’re completely missing the point. It isn’t about that. All other crafting materials you just organically acquire while playing the game. Rawhide is not working like that. That being said, 10 days in, is not at all unreasonable to have 12/12.

Thats true. You dont get rawhide for just playing the game. (insert laughing machine)

Only at full moon when you see a one-legged Satyr playing his magic flute within a mushroom fairy circle you can gather a couple of rawhides.

Now you even want vegan leather? This is getting out of hand. :thinking:

We are being pulled into a specific activity to farm a normal quality crafting material. Do you ever have to specifically farm for forgotten souls? abstruse sigils? Coiling wards? what about baleful fragments and veiled crystals? No, you don’t, you acquire them in normal quantities while just playing the game. Four of those mentioned are legendary quality crafting materials. Rawhide is a normal quality material. It’s an issue. Might not be an issue for you, and that’s great, but an issue for a very large portion of the player base.

Exactly this. Having to target farm a specific thing for master working (Obducite) is not the issue, that makes sense. Being bottlenecked by another mundane standart thing (rawhide/iron chunks) that shouldn’t be an issue anymore, is the problem.

It’s like buying pasta to cook dinner and you realize you are out of tap water.

Why are you using calendar days as the benchmark for player effort?

Ive probably already played a good 60 hours this season.

How many hours am I expected to put into a single seasonal character? 200? 300?

The fact of the matter is that it’s not currently fun or feasible to try new builds or roll alts because the sheer effort involved with farming raw hides is ludicrous. In the past 3 days I’ve made literally no progress on masterworking my gear. Farming 6 hours just to blow it all on a missed double crit is absurd.

These people don’t even want a Diablo game, man.

Diablo, in every iteration, minus D4, has been a game where you can play multiple characters.

D4 is the first game in the series where you’re literally precluded from playing multiple characters in a season unless you have hundreds and hundreds of hours to spend.

We’re not. Stop making braindead inaccurate assumptions

It’s not an assumption. It’s exactly what you’re doing.

think i have over 150k iron chunks and rawhide with a triple crit on my weapon and every other piece of gear with double crits on desired stats. ya i there is no bottleneck if people play the game and dont rmt everything. you notice the thing they complain about not having enough of is the one thing they cant rmt…hmmm

Obducite is ok? where isbetter tp farm Obducite cause I see that undercity with masterworking tribute provide ~2000 max and infernal hordes the same.
