I bet most complaints would be gone, if they simply not named these Items “Legendary”.
Like “Superior Rares” or “Hello i am an Upgrade material most of the time” and changed their colors to brighter/darker Yellow.
Humans are Creatures of Habit, so if they see Legendary with the red colors in d4 it automaticly get associated with must be a “decent upgrade” . But that is Blizzards Fault, for imprinting those colors in our brains.
We dont know how rare the “real important(Uniques+)” Items are.
Its all speculation, until we know all the facts, how all rarities work @Endgame.
Might be that Beta had vastly improved drop rates.
Might also be that uniques and higher tiers are so much stronger then yellows/legs that in reality they are only stepping stones, and really needed to drop like crazy to progress.
Or they really messed up, who knows.
Only time will tell.
yes, D3/D4 system is GARBAGE
the D2 system is the best. uniques in shiny gold, sets in neon green delicious.
bad blues, yellows, oranges are just a filler, bland and hollow design
in D2 there is psychological attraction to the system the same way as a slot machine but also the uniques are really unique, each with its own flavour, and then the chance to be perfect makes you salivate even more when you see it pop on the ground oh baby
And I hope they don’t nerf it too far like D3. I played and I didn’t get a single legendary in D3 until after the first major update that changed the difficulties and drop rates. It was insane and made it impossible to scale beyond nightmare.
I got quite a few but they were also not speced for what I was running so I did respec once to get use of a few. There is a balance, but I just don’t want them to go too far in the other direction.
