Rob has an interesting take on the Uber crafting

Timestamped:

  • Normal Unique → 1 Shard
  • Uber → 50 Shards
  • 200 Shards → Uber

Some have said similar things here in the forum.

Blizz could adjust the numbers as they please, but the important thing is that normal Uniques should contribute so people are more incentivized to grind and play the game more. At least it would be somewhat more interesting.

Who cares about what some random streamer who was literally nobody before D4 think?

He got 0 views outside of D4 ofc he is interested in prolonging blizzard boring concept.

If you want to collect 200 normal uniques you have to run the bosses Grigoire etc a lot and that means doing the same hunt for mats again and again. If you dont buy the mats and dont play 1001% effectiv powerplay you may end up getting 200 uniques at the end of the season so you can have a few minutes/days of uber fun. :laughing:

This is actually what people have been saying that you can work towards getting an Uber Unique, so it’s a combination of chance + effort.

Blizz can adjust the numbers so it makes sense for both Blizz and the players. The important thing is to make people want to keep playing the game.

Curious… if you craft an uber with a level 60 character or lower, does the uber come with a level 60 requirement versus 80?

I’m not a fan of some of the exploits he did or getting carried at times, but whether he has 0 views outside D4 and was a nobody before D4, I don’t understand the hate or dismissive behavior against him.

Okay, I will likely get 200 unique before I get 4 ubers (mostly because I don’t farm them) but it’s also pretty unlikely that I would get 200 uniques in a season.

i’m not hating him at all but that is neither problem which should be discussed nor it’s a solution.
It’s just bandaging.
The thing he should do - he should discuss real problems with D4. Cuz D4 has tons of real problems not fake with “uber uniques”

The numbers could be adjusted.

But the main point is actually not that “everyone now has a real chance for an Uber”, or maybe it is, but it’s actually to make players want to keep playing the game and not feel that a lot of their time is wasted for nothing. People also say that a lot of Uniques are trash. Well, at least they are worth something now under this crafting system.

Yes, I tested to get the one I was missing w/ level 1 alt.

I would rather see something like salvaging a unique gives an item which can be transmuted at a 10:1 ratio for an Uber Nightmare Sigil which is level 100 and has a random uber boss at the end.

Maybe

  • Normal Unique → 1 Shard
  • Uber → 20 Shards
  • 40 Shards → Uber

Lets not get carried away.

There has to be some kind of challenge

You can adjust the numbers.

Challenge? Grouping up with 4 players and resetting Duriel over and over is a challenge?

Nope.

My reply was for the crafting idea numbers.

200 uniques takes no time to get. that number is way too low

I would be ok with 500. I dont know if 1000 would be a bit much or not.

Hes actually the 0.0001% this system was implemented for
