Runecrafting working as intended?

wth spend 3 of 1 run and get that rune back but only 1 of them. WTH is with this crap system? You should be able to target what ever rune you are trying to craft and make it. This system makes no sense and is awful and blizzard should feel awful.
Also thanks for making barbarians trash.

Just RNG. No more, no less.

Runes also rain from the sky. Need something to consume garbage runes.

how is spending 3xrunes to get 1xof the rune you just spent rng?>

Its just losing at rng. It happens.

You were either going to win or lose the role. You didnt win the roll.

guy ive rerolled a extreme amount of these and every single time it roles into the same thing I just rerolled this isnt RNG the system is bugged and trash in the first place.

Do you want some cheese with your whine? I mean seriously bud, it’s a game.

Then your the luckiest loser at rng. I have had that happen once. Hopefully you turn that luck around.

May the RNG gods be with you.

games should be fun not bug filled crap systems put in to waste your time and annoy you. There is no way this runecrafting is working as intended as 99% of the time it rerolls into the same exact rune. I have rerolled 100s and every time it just turns into the same thing.

I would agree mostly, but lets just make it force a different rune, not rerolling 3 into the same thing, lol

I have also rolled runes, and have never received the same item twice. You have proof your rolls are bugged? You have 200 of the same rune? I mean what do you expect man? You said it yourself, it’s a game. Play it or don’t. If youre not having fun, then dont.

Try to get friends.

We are 5 ppl in clan, and on second day, together, found all of we runes we need for our classes.

Its like you can also craft boss materials. You can take 9 hearts plus a horn, plus a bunch of veiled crystal, plus a bunch of another material, plus a bunch of gold. In return you get an Egg for Duriel. Why wouldn’t people just take those 9 hearts and kill Varshan twice which would give you two eggs. It makes no sense.

As far as runes go… that would make sense if it gave you a higher tier rune or something but it just gives you back a junk one that you already have 10 of. Typically, in games thats how this mechanic works… take a bunch of the same junk and turn it into 1 of a better thing. In this game though the devs want to add heavy RNG to it so you dont actually get the better thing… you just remove a bunch of junk from your inventory for a single piece of junk

You’re aware that the craft flat out says has a chance to give you a higher rune right? Magic is a 1 in 4 to Rare. Rare 1 in 4 to Legendary.

You’re just losing the 1 in 4. Also you’re right, why wouldn’t they just kill Varshan. Maybe its just another alternative to guarantee the Duriel/Andariel fragment. Good grief if they try to give you alternatives.

If you want stuff handed to you on a silver platter, go play little league, heard they hand out participation trophies all the time.

Who said anything handed to me. My god man this game is full of RNG from top to bottom. I been playing games since pac man came out in an arcade. This mechanic used to give you something better. Now its small chance at something better. Where do you get those 1 in 4 odds from? Just a guess?

As for alternative… alternative is fine if it makes sense. What doesnt make sense is to use twice the amount of what something would cost you to get half back. Thats not an alternative that just dumb. Its like me saying give me $20 and I’ll give you $10 back.

When did this mechanic just introduced in this expansion give you something better?

I agree, the boss mat thing makes 0 sense. However, my point stands. You’re asking to make something that is intended to be a way to gamble extra runes, a guarantee. Tell me the next time you go to the casino and complain when you don’t win blackjack. I want to be there when they tell you to kick rocks.

This is a new mechanic in Diablo 4. It is not a new mechanic as games 10-20 years ago had this mechanic of turn 10 of these bad items into 1 good item. Its nothing new. They just never put the RNG of “maybe youll get a 1 good item but likely you just get 1 piece of crap.”

Like it doesnt even bother me that much to argue about it. I just wont use it because its a waste of time. Its not that big of a deal. I was just saying.

Yes the boss material thing is completely stupid. Alternatives are good. The way they did it just doesnt make sense for anyone to ever use it ever.

Good god, you described exactly what it is, and then simply ignored your own words in the following sentence.

Risk vs reward, bud. You risk the Runes, you may get the reward. Key word being may.

It’s not a big deal, but good god you want it to be. Wah wah, I didn’t get the guaranteed rune I wanted. Waaaah. That’s the point. Get over it.

You read too much into text. It doesnt bother me a bit. Its just a part of the game that I will ignore. Nothing wrong with talking about how something is and how you feel about that something. Im not whining about anything. I described how the system is IN THIS GAME. Then I told you how the mechanic worked in other games dating back upwards of 20 years.

You’re clearly butt hurt about it enough to post here.

If you don’t like RNG, then don’t play an ARPG. It’s the basis of the gameplay loop. That trade up for a chance of something good has been the basis of the ARPG genre since its inception.

Same reason you kill a boss for a chance of a good drop. It’s reason the 4 to 1 odd’s exist. Chance.

Oh and since you wanted to edit your response to ask where I got those numbers from. Read. Cause clearly you got a problem doing that as it states it in the game.

I actually got a legendary rune out of one roll.
But the rest, nada.
