Just get rid of temper bricking, I cannot believe this is still a thing. Why would you not just let me use the scrolls as many times as I need on an item? At least let that be the case. Im gonna scream

Dude, its a video game. This isn’t a rational response. They want to have an end to an item’s life either accept it or move on.

Why not just let people select what they want from a catolog. Why play the game at all when it could just be given to us.
If anything the mistake was to have scrolls to start. The 2nd mistake was making them so common.

Actually it is a solution you can argue how good of a solution it is but it is a solution

Can you imagine the outrage when peeps are on their 10, 11th roll and into the tens of millions. There would be mayhem in the streets of Sanctuary that Blizzard is causing them to go bankrupt.

Haha right… what they are really saying is just… let me pick my stats that streamers told me I needed.

Slippery slope isn’t a counter argument. I guess it is if you’re a dullard who lives here and cant formulate an actual counter argument. OP isn’t suggesting that he simply be handed perfect gear when he logs in; D4 existed without tempering, and people weren’t simply handed perfect gear for logging in.
I’ve yet to hear anyone eluscidate on what temper bricking adds to the game that couldn’t be achieved though some other mechanism – a mechanism that doesn’t ruin your gear. It simply seems like an obviously lazy way to occasionally screw you into re-grinding the exact same thing, by making you think you have an upgrade and then taking that upgrade away.
Name another modern Blizzard game that has such a feature, that gives people the feeling of progression and then takes it away 60 seconds later. I’ll wait.

They dont take anything away when the item was 3/5. Tempering only completes an item.
There are tons of arpgs where items actually break and get bricked/destroyed.
D4 is entry level arpg for casual games. This system just makes it so your not looking for a 4/5 5/5 in your bag of 40 items. All they did was make it easier to get a 5/5

It’s still objectively better than not having that option.
I’ve spent half a billion to get a passive +2 on an amulet.

Nobody likes bricking but risk and non-linear progression are what make the game worthwhile.
Like my old friend Rocky used to say, “It ain’t about how hard you hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.”
Why can’t they just let you pick the temper option and continue to rng the percentage?
Really, game or not, why keep trying if you have a 3GA item with good attributes for your build, when you want and need area but get movement speed 5 times in a row. You paid for it with mats and time finding it… Would you really pay me 50k for the chance to get the perfect car you wanted and each time you got a VW Bug? It actually takes away from the game enjoyment and fun.
I should be able to get BiS with no bricking and no limiting of crafting mats.
Get on it Blizzard.
Infinite tempered chances? Might as well increase the cost every attempt. With no cap on the cost. Just like how Enchanting used to be.
that would imply it worked, it didnt, and is awful
Get rid of the temper scrolls maybe. But definitely dont get rid of temper bricking.
Unless it happens in a complete redesign where the affixes are moved back to rolling when an item drops, as they should be.
These same 6-7 milquetoast blizzard defenders on every post…i’m convinced they are actually paid by Blizzard. No one can be as committed to delusion as these sycophants are without some sort of compensation.

First thing they need to get rid of RNG in weapon damage, as this make build testing and bug identification a very tedious. Which let the streamer dominated the build crafting as they have more group resources to do this donkey work. Every part of the game is RNG, I think Blizzard think this is a cool design in the modern age.
RNG is cool design in the modern age. Plenty of highly acclaimed modern games are filled with RNG.
Blizzard just forgot to have a Game part to go along with the RNG I guess.
That’s untrue I have only had to use it once this season but the one time I used it I got the affix I wanted two rolls into my reset
