this just shows that the devs actually dont play the game or try to farm all the uber uniques them self, BY the time you finally even get 5 uber uniques your allready either A bored, or B probably have the uber uniques you want anyway… so no real reason to continue farming … make it 2-3 ubers or 1-1 … no1 likes this stuff, and remove the ''uber tag from them and just call them uniques…

I agree, currently this is the only activity that remains unviolated (so far) as the final stage of the game. And making items that are super rare something people can have at their fingertips causes the game to lose its purpose. Even without uber items, the game is super easy. With this option, it will simply be hopeless. Instead of coming up with such weak ideas, start adding to the ‘core’ mechanics and seasonal bosses, I would love to have the option in S4 as an alternative or an additional option mechanics from S2 or S3… If you’re introducing such changes, maybe just put an NPC in every city who will give away all the items in the game for free with whatever stats the player desires… It will be easier to write the code. If they introduce this, they’re just shooting themselves in the foot. Theoretically, it’s supposed to be implemented in 2 days. The game will lose its sense. H&S titles were and are created to farm/greed. Not to get everything handed to you on a silver platter.
The main benefit as I see it is for gearing alts on eternal because all the ubers gained from previous seasons will eventually accumulate on there at which time can combine and convert them to something more useful. I don’t think it will help much on a seasonal character during a single season though because 5 ubers is a bit too much, I think 3 would be better unless they become easier to get either from increasing drop rate on duriel or increasing chance to obtain them through other activities like in T100 dungeons.
Another option would be converting (x) amount of uniques into one uber but since normal uniques are much easier to get perhaps add a counter balance by making ubers crafted this way no longer guarantee max stats and instead have stat ranges like normal uniques. They would still always have same stat types like their non-crafted counterparts but unless really lucky you might have to craft multiple versions to get best stats on the crafted ones.
Or like you can do Primals in D3.
Guys, read full patch notes.
“The drop chance of Uber Unique items acquired outside of Uber Duriel encounters has been increased.”
I mean it’s Blizzard, they probably will mess it up, but at least wait with complains until patch goes live.
We can do that, but it won’t change anything.
Officially, before the release of D4, they talked about how items would not have a significant impact on character development and the power of skills, but would only change the operation of spells and character configurations. In the end, it’s the opposite… To do anything, you need at least 1-4 unique items to change the “operation” of a skill/boost DPS. Without these items, you are simply nobody… And unfortunately, itemization in D4 is even worse than in D3. D4 is slowly starting to resemble D3, and soon we will have DPS in the range of trillions. Moreover, each season focuses on one or two classes and improves them, after which you go to a World Boss, blink, and the boss is already dead. The meta of barbarian/druid has been from Season 1 and continues to prevail. It seems someone really loved these classes in the Blizzard team. I wish the game offered the possibility to play with any skill as a “core DPS”, not what the design team plans for the season as a “build that destroys everything on hit”. I have the impression that from Season 3 we are entering into D4 where they tell us which class to play and with what spell. But that’s not the point. And even if you want to avoid meta skills, you hit a wall.
You don’t have to tell me, i know how it looks like. I just responded to assumption that almost noone will get 5 uber uniques. Maybe they will improve drop chance so we won’t be forced to kill Duriel for these items.
Of course i know that there is a very small chance that they will do it right. Especially when there is announced itemization rework in season 4. I think they have released D4 unfinished due to pressure from decision-makers, and now they have to fix it, but to do it they have to keep balance between fixes “for now” and long-term solutions.
Itemization rework is a last test for me. If they will mess it up, there is no way i will buy any expansion.
i see this as a feature for those who did benefit from earlier exploits to get those uniques to the new max item level. for any normal person, this is just another slap in the face. i’ve done around 100 runs before i burned out and haven’t seen a single u unique yet. make every unique give shards that let you craft u uniques would be fair for everyone, but this is just another junk decision.

ya,not to mention even if you have 5 ubers, for sure some of them you want to keep, so you need to already found 8-9+ in order to afford to salvage 5…
increased? …to what? even a 50% increase would make no difference^^ 0,01 or 0,015% doesn’t matter at all!

I run NMD over 95+ and have never get any uniques and now we can get uber uniques there. Don’t even dream about them. World boss drops sacreds. Let’s forget hole thing.
game designers should be fired
Is it not better to add 5-7 uber bosses, and ech with different pool uber uniques? It’s hard to drop any if 1 boss had almost all uniques in game… Roll drop and rng is huge on it… Thats another D4 problem… No content and end game. And at all if you get your uber uniques, whats next? What to do in game?

The whole Uber Unique discussion doesnt matter as long as there’s absolutely nothing to do with them. I mean what , you`re gonna do Helltide 2s faster ?
The drop chance of Duriel beeing 2% is fine the problem is getting there (farming the mats is tedious and got boring extremely fast) to do the boss and finding a bloody group thats whats mega boring to me.
Dears,
There would be a lot to say , about what require development regarding content, and all.
This is about the implemented changes on ubers, and this is my honest oppinion.
-
Ubers should not exist, or if those items exist, should be accessible in a different way to all players.
-
This bring me to second part: Blizz gave the chance to those “players”, that somehow play 24/7 to, have a way to stockpile ubers items over items, and create 1 or 2 of each class seasonal characters, all equiped with ubers, because now you have the ability to get sparks and recraft the items.
-
I understand that those players are the most active at server, they probably do all, or most testing, and share to others, guides, etc. They are valued, at least by me, and it makes me happy that also blizz, looks at them and bring them this chance,
What makes me extremmelly unhappy is that bliz doesnt look at all the other ( hopefully million) players on server that never get the chance to use this.
Resuming, they are in same situation before or after patch.
A player that has 1 or 2 Seasonal Characters , and plays couple hours dailly, will have, if in good luck a uber item at end of season?
Some will never see one.
So, Blizzard, you are a liar, when you say in your patch that you want to give opportunity to all players to get ubers.
I am not discussing they way, or best way to do this, I dont even want to go there, this is a sensitive issue that can surelly break the game.
The thing is you are creating classes of players, lets say uber players and all others.
And I wonder how nice willl the uber players to be playing in alone, all the others leave, because what you did in this patch was taking care oif the uber players, and not increase chances to have uber items for the regular players, unless you say that having a chance to get a ubber drop 1:400.000 unique drops is different from having 1:100.000 or 200k, whatver value you increased, im sure its not enough.
Wish you all the best.
Thank you.

Fully agree. Sounds like a mockery. I can’t get even one uber unique. I understand that it should not be easy, like 50% chance drop or so, but at the moment the more I farm Duriel - the more dissatisfaction I have.
