Will there be any? Just curious. Did devs talk about this for D4?

i remember that they said sets were coming later dont think they said a date though
Would love to see them but seeing how legendaries work, that no legendary has it’s own legendary power, i’m kinda concerned how they could implement set items to this formula.

Yup. I remember the legendaries in D1, they had HUGE advantage over magic items, in D4 they are just the same as rare items with the same affixes like rares have, just with special aspect affix added. And the rares are able to turn to legendaries by imprinting aspects to it? Legendary is nothing special anymore… the only thing which is good from imprinting is that you can collect legendary transmog fast.

Sad but true.
It was always a very very good feeling in D2 and also in D3 to find alegendary item and after identifying it, you could already get excited by only seeing the name of it without checking the stats. Because you knew what that legendary item did.
Here, legendary items are simple crafting mat resources.

I’d like to see sets. I hope they don’t make them as important as they are in D3 but I’d definitely like to see them.

Well the role of sets is to make you a killing machine. But i agree, i don’t want only sets to make you able to enter highest difficulty, i like the idea of builds being a pure science math for players like it is now. So the better build strategist, the bigger survivality in the higher difficulty tiers.
I always liked sets,in any game, it gives you a certain completion goal besides all the in-game benefits.
Sets are cool just don’t add +15,000% damage modifiers. I don’t know who ever thought that was a good idea.

THIS! That was the biggest D3 mistake. We don’t need T16 in this either. I hope i speak for all D4 fans.

Probably a good think they are not in the game……still have bad memories of D3 and xxxxx% multipliers!
I would take Runewords before set items personally.
Liked rune words in D2.
But let us be honest…the really really good rune words required a unhealthy amount of grind or time wasted trying to trade.
I’m happy that’s not something we have to deal with nowadays.
But maybe the issue wasn’t with rune words itself but how trading worked back then.
For the laughably huge xxxxxxx% bonus dmg multipliers in D3. Sadly they were nevessary to be able to do the highest level rifts.
SADLY!

Time of D3 is up. D4 time is now. D3 will be played still, but it may die within 6-12 months. Or at least more people will play D2 than D3. Looking forward what blizz will prepare for us in D4. But if runes will return, i would be glad. I would even more like to see runes with those special legendary affixes more than aspects. I don’t like that aspect system…

Same. How it works now…the more i play the less i like it. I found the concept very good at the beginning. But i spend way too much time playing tetris on my gear slot what aspect do i have and what can i apply to which item or do i have a good rare item for everything i need. Way too much hoarding is necessary.
devs said eventually. when exactly? who knows.
2 socket runewords max
and Runewords was D2 biggest mistake.
Wondering if they brought back runes will that make white items useful? If they can only get 2 sockets, what’s the point? Not like D2 where your weapon could have 1-6 sockets or armor at 1-4. Now it’s all 2 socket max. Lol.
The game do not need sets, specially with 15000000% damage multipliers will ruin the game.
u understand that what we have now are essentially the same thing as requiring set pieces right?
for specific builds people are basically locked into the certain aspects just like a set.
and if u dont have all the correct aspects for your build to full work it will feel bad until you do.
