I finally found a bow with a GA of 150% Crit Dmg % and immediately bricked it because the temper rolled the exact same affix 5 times in a row. That’s the first 150% bow I’ve found in 30 hours of playing my char.
Who decided this was fun? Makes me want to stop playing because it’ll be another 10-15 hours before I find another one.
30h…wow…thats like nothing
They knew it was not fun. But they needed to pad people’s play time and Diablo devs have always been very stingy about loot, so they put it in anyways.
lets be real temp is bad and for the casual player base its very bad!
this is a 2month season 1 month off kinda game!
I know the feeling, The system should never roll the same affix 5 time in a row like that. But it happens more often then not. Ya, something is off with the RNG. I have played many slots in my time and have yet to see one of them roll the exact same thing multiple times.
Yesterday I bricked my 2GA (waiting for that for about week) It was so fun! Can´t w8 to repeat that.
at this point any time i get a 2-3 GA i say to myself here we go again! my house is almost done
not to mention if i get life per sec or life on hit its insta trash
It’s a lot for a 2 month season for people with jobs
So you just want a participation trophy, got it.
If you think instantly bricking something it takes you 30 hrs to find isn’t a problem I’m not sure what to tell you. One day when you leave your mom’s basement and have to have a job and pay billls you’ll understand.
Lots of people have jobs and responsibilities. But not everyone has 5 jobs, 7 wifes, 45 kids.
D4 has done a good job with finding balance no matter how long someone plays during a season. The games designed for a casual playerbase but the biggest issue are peoples entitlements. I think this primarily falls on D3 for what it bacame which was the season of the week/weekend. D3 had so many safeguards and pitty systems it was no longer an arpg.
I went to that persons funeral, Really died too young.
As a barbarian I seem to 80%+ get “Damage to Distant” and “+% Armor”, two things I care not about and blizzard knows it. heh. The game is just passive-aggressive.
I have no issue putting in the time to get geared. The issue is you find 100 GAs before you get one that is useful. Then you have to go temper and never get the tempers you need. Now consider how many slots you have on your char.
Expecting us to put in 10,000 hours a season to get what we need is absurd. The guy tells me I want a participation trophy like I want things handed to me. I don’t. I just don’t want to spend 200 hours on one slot. That’s all I’m saying.
Did this on my first great triple ga bow, dex-hp-vuln bricked it with no heart seeker chance to double cast then of course it didn’t even roll vuln temper. Was a rough one
Yesterday I got a triple GA with Int, 6 Mana/S and Resist (planned to roll off resist), and of course it got bricked. Kept rolling Warmth rather than the desired Flame Shield. Later, I got one w/ just the mana.
It’s obvious the weighted system makes each GA you get on the item have exponentially lower chances of getting the desired stat (and the desired stat I got on the single GA item later was a low roll, and rerolled to a less low, but still low roll).
It truly is.
Trying to hit the right affix in masterworking is enough for me.
Arpg is not only about casino casino. Fixing tempering will not give you bis overnight. I am beyond the bricking stage now, I have more problems with how tempering limits builds instead of giving variety.
never try to reason with degenerates, it just doesnt work
leave them be
I don’t take the ‘RNG’ people seriously anymore. Bricking one item after another because you get the same 1 in 5 affix five times in a row, sometime on multiple items in a row is not RNG. Something is weighted, Blizzard is not being honest.
I don’t even pick up a ‘legendary’ unless it has at least one GA. My Helltides maps are filled with Leggo stars on the map everywhere at the end and i have generally 1 item I keep to brick later if I am lucky.
All loot in the game, including most of the so-called ‘ubers’ are straight up trash. Yellow, blue, ‘legendary’ is all the same vendor garbage and I’d filter it all out of Blizzard could manage to make one. Tempering makes them all obsolete, and temper limits with the broken system we have just is insult to injury.
They tried, I give them credit, but Blizzard always, always, has a poison pill in everything they do.
A thing that helps me when I’m tempering is that I walk away from the blacksmith until the window closes and then reopen it. Since doing that, I haven’t had the same 5 affix rolls on my tempering. It feels like my success rate for at least one of the tempers that I want has gone up significantly.
I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if the affixes are set whenever you open the blacksmith’s window. Then when you roll, you’re only given those choices and random percentages/skill ranks.
Now that I think about it, it’s probably how enchanting works too.
