Tempering sucks

Got my rogue to 100 last night. I’ve had 2 GA items drop with double affix’s. both bricked due to tempering. This feels HORRIBLE. 25% chance to get the temper you want yet it gives you the same useless temper all five times. This system is botched and needs an immediate fix. I said I was done before. Came back and thought hey maybe it’ll be better. Nope.

the way that tempering item need to be random is silly.
as we already got the recipe, we should able to tell the smith to temper which item, rather than let the smith smash his hammer without direction.

perhaps the part need to be RNG is the value range of the selected item. as not all smith and not every moment would turned out maximum value.

I’d be cool if it was random for the tempers value.
Even if they increased the amount of rolls you had would be better. But 5 isn’t enough. Should be at least 10.

It does suck. But before long this post will probably be reported enough to be deleted because the white knight’s think its trolling, and then you’ll be told that you just need to change your way of thinking to make it better.

Literally the only thing they need to do is lift the hard cap of five somehow. There’s several ways to do it without sacrificing the integrity of loot hunting.

think i dont get about this, is when i masterworked my gear getting a blue on my damage affix felt much nicer than whatever temper i had
and sometimes the blues land on a temper and i wanted a affix, So sometimes idc so much about the temper on a piece.

The Treating build guides like sets or something? i just cant follow this level of problems with it, and i have problems with the game huge problems, but this i dont get its one of teh only things they did right in the last year

this system does indeed suck.

I’ve said it once, I’ve said it at least 100 times, still surprised they haven’t made a post on these forums saying they’re aware and attempting to fix it.

If they do this campfire chat on the 21st this month and say they aren’t changing it I’m immediately uninstalling permanently (it is what it is).

You suck, by people like you is why we get handed everything on a plate like the sets on diablo 3 seasons and then people like you start crying the game can be completed in 2 days. You have trade, a feature everyone wanted and its really easy to get another one. If you get you infinite rerolls then probably you should come crying again to the forum sayin “WHY IT NEEDS TO BE RANDOM, JUST LET ME HAVE THE AFFIX I WANT” and then again we will end the loot hunting at lvl 80 and then you AGAIN will come to this forum crying theres no endgame…

Honest question are streamers telling you guys this? since at PTR is was so positive i could vomit around here, you got hammered into hell for saying one complaint.
This is why influencer gaming dev is not the way.
World is a twisted place i guess.

you: uh bluh bluh bluh bluh. The system still sucks and so does your post.

I guarantee I play more than you do. It has nothing to do with being handed anything.

The tempering system does need a bit of fine tuning I agree, but you just hit 100 it sounds like? Tempering and master working is end game, which you just hit I wouldn’t expect perfect rolls and tempers day one.

the progression and raining loot and mats cost all that mmo time gated garbage is the problem not tempering.

Tempering in a game not burdened by mmo trash mechanics would work really well i think.

All I hear when I see this is “learn to enjoy losing,” spoken like a true degenerate gambler.

Why was your expectation to have exactly what you want in the first 2 items you get?

discuss the topic guys not each others opinions, who cares if you like this or that gambling or not we are not captain planet here, we just want a game not a mess to play

We wasted a year already flipping our omelets over this game, lets focus in a bit more on the actual game i think

That’s just on my rogue. I’ve had pretty much all the double and triple GAS brick. The only character I have a 3 GA after hundreds of hours is my Barb. So yeah the system sucks. I’m not expecting to have perfect gear every time.

The system is better then it was. Its easy to get a 3/5 and make it that 5/5. Sure sometimes it doesnt work out and you just need another item.

They simplified loot to 3/3 on drop and gave the ability to have higher chances, customizable loot ect.

RNG isnt for everyone but its a core mechanic of any arpg. Not to mention D4 is pretty much watered down to “my first arpg”

I like the improvements they’ve made, but i’ve bricked a couple of items and it feels REALLY bad when it happens… they should make it so you don’t receive the same variable 2 x… like it cycles thru the options and the variable is the strength of the temper or something - so i kind of agree with you

I mean look i play chaosbane, it has things i like more than diablo, it has the rng choice, but it has other problems, loot sifting and gear management is like D4 was before reborn.

So i don’t get the complete turn around its not perfect but its in the middle of two greater evils atm. So that’s is still a bit of a win imo.

Ok bye. Promise to never return or stop yapping
