Here’s my 2cents.
I left season 5 like i left season 4 and 1 ( didn’t play 2/3 ), because of the garbage rng on rng over rng above rng, rng’d squared.
It sucked to hit millions when rerolling in D3 but at least it was possible. Now you grind for a chance to ruin an item. The one person who had this idea and the inverse genius who signed it needs to be let go. Then you’ll have people staying.
It’s not about crying over rng, it’s about respecting players with a set amount, big, and the random shortcut that MAY happens.
Not buying the 40€ ext after 70€ 1 year old AAA, nope, see you season 7
I line that. Tempering has destroyed about 30 items. If you have items with 2 or 3 stars it is almost impossible to get right tempering. Mastering is almost as bad.
We have to wait PoE 2 to see how GGG done grafting, it can’t be so much lottery than D4 is.
Everybody chill and don’t get your hopes too high !
Tempering will NOT be fixed - we will just get sand in our eyes in hope to shut up - and I will explain why !
The Scroll of Retempering in the upcomming expansion will “unbrick” an item and give you just an additional 5 more rolls of Tempering, so you don’t need to be a genius to figure out that the RNG factor will NOT be removed and we will still be forced to farm and brick perfect items in the future.
To be honest, I don’t see this scroll as an solution because you can use a scroll on an item only ONCE and if you have bad luck your item will remain perma-bricked - so, that scroll won’t fix the problem + you can obtain one scroll per week if you complete the Citadel.
So, all in all, Tempering needs to be reworked completely since the random factor is way to high in comparison to the small chance of getting a drop of a perfect item.
I’ve just spend half a day on farming mats and gold for masterworking and to get tripple roll in what I need I wasted 820mil gold and 10k Neathiron…And that was only for a single item! Nothing really exciting about when you realize your time spend equals frustration and dissapointmen as you waste your mats in a few minutes.
This game at current state is a waste of time. Tempering and Masterworking is absolute garbage system aka resource and time pit for laughable rewards. Hordes become boring rather quickly especially when half of the ‘upgrades’ are absolute poop. Just makes you waste 10min of your life. I think by now they have enough data to know that nobody clicked on stupid unliminted resources. But morons at Blizzard can’t realize simple things like if you can run t8 you and your resources have been sorted ages ago lol.
Regarding the tempering. The chances for re-rolling should be doubled at minimum and also it should prevent you to roll same stat twice in a row or even better the affixes should be on rotation (in random order every time after rolling all the options from the pool once, then reset and again) or do even better get rid of the limit and put a price on re-roll of tempering and then you have something interesting going on in this game. As mentioned earlier, in D3 once you got an item that was good it could take a time and resources to make it what you want but there was no way to brick the item. In D4 getting great affix means nothing until you are lucky with bs rng of tempering. There is a reason why you can not temper uniques. Can you imagine to brick Mythical uniques and with GAs? It would literally killed the purpose of the game.
