Ruins the only 2 things going for this game… the aha moment when a nice upgrade drops (now hopes crushed, or thank god it rolled at blacksmith), and the experimenting/theorycrafting with builds (now looking up on max roll what the best stats are because you don’t want to brick your gear, which may still happen)

I would be happy if we could just select the tempering. 1 time select and you still get the RNG on the %

Its basically the Destiny engram decryption dilemma all over again. Perhaps it was intentional, but with the tempering cap Blizzard has created a system where you have to get multiple good rolls for every piece of gear for it to actually be an upgrade.
The only thing its tempering right now is any sense of excitement when a potentially great piece of gear drops. Because now you have to wait and see if you can actually get two decent tempering rolls on it to work with your build.
Sorry but the cap is good from the simplified3/3 loot. They already made it easier to get the 5/5.
If you dont roll what what want you have the ability to get an upgrade if its not optimal.

I think they just need to remove weighted rolls and make it so it can’t roll up the same affix twice. RNG never really feels good and it’s frustrating getting a piece and losing it to bad RNG, at least before the RNG happened before the loot hit the ground so you knew it was going to be rubbish sooner.

Im swimming in mats, i restocked my gold from 2.000.000 to 300.000.000. But… i can farm all day long. I dont get an item thats worth to temper. I probably get my next uber faster than new panties i can temper.

The game already operated like that and has always operated like that.
I say we throw all of these affixes into the pool, have items drop with 5 affixes and do away with tempering altogether. I’m sure you guys will like that a lot more.

temper affixes (mostly the damage multiplier ones) are too strong. Temper mods should be equivalent to suffixes in D3 - nice to have and necessary to min max but not capable of “bricking” an item.

Eh people will complain either way because they want the best rolls for their build and are not happy with something that is not perfect.
If they wanna brick gear, fine… put a cap on enchanting… atleast it’s bricked before it’s even viable, and won’t impede our ability to experiment with builds…
Tempering is annoying at best.
Trying to save the game with all the improvements in S4 and yet sticking to your ‘bad old ways’ is just appalling. There could be better thoughts on this rather than bricking items… which is not cool.

Sigh. Instagratification Western mindset…
Think about what the fundamental dopamine drip is from action RPGs: it’s gambling. Therefore, absolutely just no to this suggestion.

Bricking items is not cool. I’ve just dropeed a nice upgrade but could not get the tempering correct… this is not fun.

Players are fine with RNG. Players are not fine with bricking. Give the players an out from the brick. Could be a new mat, system, drop, etc.
The cap is fine. Better than fine, it is needed, due to how tempering works.
Maybe add a tempering “amnesia” potion that resets the tempering of an item back to the original number of choices.
Or at the very least, not have the same affix show up 2-3 times resulting in a useless affix selection unrelated to the build.
Hate to tell you but instant gratification is not just a “Western” thing lol.
