Enchant item at the Occultist needs a change

Hello Diablo Super Team

I know, this has been said before. And I will do it again, and others after me will. This system is the worst part of the Diablo Franchise if you ask me.

You keep getting the same useless garbage you try not to get and the 1 affix you need comes after 100s of millions of gold. This feels more like a Casino every day and that needs to change. Stop feeding and fire up gambling addictions and make this more suitable for a MMO game. I know, this is Diablo. Trade of the Devil, trick of the trade, but still… stop it.

As an example. I tried to get Ranks of Conjuration Mastery on my Amulet. This piece of garbage system cost me over 200 million gold and I still didn’t get it. The same garbage affixes over and over. Sounds like insanity to me. That’s a big shame.

If this occultist was a real person their survivability rate with that career would be 0 to -27636473287 (probably all the people coming by would kill that person). So rework it. Let every affix roll by sooner. More often, less of the same when we already keep enchanting. Every reroll we do means we don’t want what’s given to us. So act accordingly. Let us pick the affix to aim for or just buy the affix for 50mil like an mythic unique.

Another example.
If I go to the car dealer and want to buy a BMW, but I get a bread instead that cost me more than the BMW 3 times over. You think I like coming there? You think I come again? I think my trigger finger would be hard to control.

Let this sink in. It’s not about the examples in my plee, it’s just showing you it has to change. This system is broken and it would make this game more approachable if the Enchant Item system worked more in our favor.

See you on the next one


Subject 2 on this matter. If I want a better roll on the affix I got… (dkgfhlkjerhgftio4erwhiogherw ← angry talk). If you’re going to charge 100s and millions of gold? Make sure the re-rolls are top-notch. Not the lowest bs you can give us. It’s a disgrace we pay so much for mostly the lowest affix % you can get so we have to continue. And there goes our money. There goes our will to continue. There goes our trust. Wait…where did all the players go?

Speaking about casino, it’s the same with masterworking.
That system is the worst thing implemented thus far.

A dirty and quick fix would be the MW reset to only rollback one set of 4 levels so you can retry from 8 → 12 several times instead of cancelling everything and starting back from 1.
Hitting that triple is plain roulette and I’m not into D4 to play casino.
There’s far too much pure rng and not enough player directed upgrades.
The complete lack of strategy involved in upgrade to equipment is off-putting.

And tempering reset scroll working only once that’s just increasing the number of attempts instead of really fixing the bricking item problem.

So bad…

Yeah that one too indeed. However, this system is been bugging me since season 1. So this one had my priority at the moment. I still have to get to the tempering. Since it’s new I’ll have a look how long it lasts.

You’re not gonna like tempering. It’s a similar casino, though with less options. Each set of choices has one that comes on the most, which is good if you’re playing that style, but not if you don’t. Resistances especially seem to favour the ones you don’t need.

But at least there’s less options, less tries and by picking a smart set that you always have something you can use or only one you don’t need, it can work out.

However, I approach affix juggling differently. I don’t go for something I absolutely want, but rather change something I don’t need to something that’s acceptable. That makes me less frustrated with the system.

I understand, but that’s not a solution when you want to push your build to higher heights.

I know tempering, but since it’s new, I still want to see if it will last a season or 2. I hope not the way things are going.

The thing is Blizz, farming for the perfect item is a waste of time in your game since it’s as good as non-existence unless you have the gold for it. It will cost you billions. And then there are 8 other items. You do the maths. Make the Enchant Item system more successful for the player and stop wasting our resources.

I don’t mind keeping the system in place, just make it more successful for the player.
