Why item lvl 608 and 610 in T4

In the PTR Tormented bosses dropping very little loot and absolutely no value to the players killing the boss. Isn’t it should be rewarding killing a boss? finishing a Nightmare dungeon, or a Pit run?
T4 Pit 70 drops items below item lvl 700 once a while maybe a 750 and 750 is still worthless when the players gear is item lvl 800 it should 800 1xGA -3xGA don’t you think so?
World Bosses dropping item lvl 608-610 in T4 why? Even the unfortunate players have 750 gear fully loaded with 1 temper and 4 MSW in the world. So where is the logic Blizzard
Tree of Whisper was never good but in the PTR is worst than on the live server.
Why are Blizzard keep saying the game will be more rewarding when is not.
All this true in the live servers as well.
I used to like to dig trough the drops from Tormented bosses most of the stuff was trash but still felt we getting something.
What mesmerizes me is in T4 highest lvl you getting 750s and below in 750 you cant even survive in the T4
Edited:>>>>
The T bosses only purpose in the game is target farming better gear, it is their purpose according to current PTR test its been taken away, so as well they should get rid of the bosses because no one will farm them, it become absolute just like your current gear.

It really seems like a huge step backwards in multiple ways, undoing the good that did come out of the last couple patches.

It really does lead creedence to the idea that there are two teams alternating on the game, just undoing the other’s work. Much like American politics. :rofl:

So… your point is just give more higher loot? Please specific your feedback/suggestions. It is called PTR for a reason.

Good items are a chase and not a instant gratification. Much better this way.

Top level content should drop top tier items. Even if not all drops then at least 50% should be ancestral.
Not like being ancestral makes it automatically useful, but putting artificial systems to prolong the grind.

yes but good items are at list equal or better item lvl what you have in your gear slots. in that particular case T4 PIT 70 not reachable on 750 gear that alone suggest it should drop at list equal item lvl it does not mean it will be the perfect item what your are looking for right at the 1st kill it means equal item lvl, and again if you had good rng you most likely still need to take it to the occultists and temper it, and master work it, You wouldn’t even replay if you would of run it as many times as I did, and not 1 single pc item lvl 800 ancestral dropped not unique ancestral and forget 1GA talking simple acestral

The main point of this ptr is to test the leveling journey. We don’t have all the content that will be available in october so we really don’t know what endgame will look like.

While I like that drop rates were dialed back, t4 should be max ilvl on all drops there is already so many other factors of rng it’s not needed when farming the hardest content

Unless there is another event that guarantees GA items we do know the end game, IH specially since the drop rate was dialed back

I’m not disagreeing but Blizzard announced better rewards in the upcoming season and they do not live up to the said statement in PTR. They did not say in the current PTR loot is irrelevant in this test, therefor lots players bringing up this issue

At the very least you shouldn’t be seeing items in the 600’s if your in t4 that’s just silly

Blizzard announcement:
Change is coming, wanderer. Do you dare immerse yourself in what lies ahead for all of Sanctuary?

The first Public Test Realm (PTR) for Diablo IV is on the horizon, offering you the chance to test upcoming changes and features for Season 4! PTR will be available from April 2 through April 9 for players with a PC Battle.net account.

I thought they said in torment 1 that all the gear drops were supposed to be item level 750. Also a rare possibility of 800. I’m gonna have to go back and look at patch notes again.

Yes you are right ! I don’t know if you where watching the campfire discussion but right there and than they said all high lvl gear have a chance to drop anywhere / Pit/ T bosses/ the multi player dungeon/ whisper chest etc T1 and up, but again they said that since day 1 and I do not recall I single instance when someone got 1 mythic for other than a T boss before, which is fine bc As far as I know T bosses only purposes is to farm GA items and mythics, however in the PTR you get 750 and below form T bosses and some mythic here and there, but in my experience so far in T4 ilvl 800 ancestral 1GA is rarer than the Mythic. Now some guys had a few drops in the PIT 65 and up I did not. and I made lots of PIT clears. What I did I spent 100 of thousands of Opals to gamble for 1GA ilvl 800 ancestral, and guess what I bricked so many. Temper seems to be even worst than before but you have more rolls than before. 5-6 times same thing with dif values. It really blew my mind. On the live server you wont have 100 of thousands of opal. If they release in these state it will be a disaster

The game should give rewards. I know that today you are fully equipped at level 80 with GA in most of the equipment.

T1 and T2, Legendary 1 GA,
T3 =1 GA, 2GA and
T4 =1 GA,2GA and 3 GA.

In T4 all Legendaries should drop as material. If you need an aspect, the nightmare dungeons of T4 should provide that aspect at most.

Just like that.

That would the correct solution agreed

d2, items from normal were usable in hell. you could chase better items, but all tiers are usable.

d3, only max level items are usable, there’s two higher tiers of max level items to farm, but neither are actually required, and in many cases the middle tier of the top 3 tiers is equal to the top tier in every way.

d4, current, fairly similar to d3. d4 PTR, only the top tier is useful, everything below item power 800 is auto trash. there’s a massive difference between 750 and 800 on every slot because 750 only gets 1 tempering while 800 gets two.

4 iterations on items, 3 of them are at least some what satisfying for different reasons, so for the PTR they screw it up.

This is not true.

I’ve seen videos of players smoking 100 Pit with one or more 750’s equipped. I tried it out myself and you don’t need all 800’s. This is especially true if you need a unique with a solid range-roll making it better than an 800 with a worse roll.

Plus, you have to crawl before you walk. Legendary->Ancient is the progression. You’d be silly to pass up an upgrade because “not 800”.

you right about somethings but a 608 and 610 is not an upgrade when rolling in T4
