what we hope they announce tomorrow: tempering: 2 additional attempts for each GA, 1GA= 2 more attempts 2GA= 4 more attempts 3GA = 6 more attempts or reset with stygean stones 2 Stygean for 1GA item 4 Stygean for 2GA item 6 Stygean for 3GA item Balance -No more B C or Z tier, just S, A+, and A, and only B for troll builds (like Oculus, troll item) -No more immortal builds, like perma flameshield build(maybe change for 90% DR) or thorn barbarian in S tier, move it to A tier. Unique -Rework for the only ones that are useless or of very little use -All skills should have several uniques (creativity is infinite), although with the restriction of only being able to use only 1 unique that affects a particular skill, for example, the new winterglass for FO has a good design. That way there would be real variability of builds. Events -Legion Event: Mechanical improvements (e.g. adding bosses like varshan, duriel, andy inside) and loot (e.g. 1 stygean stone) -World bosses (every 2 hrs instead of 2.5, so it would be every 2 helltide) and add the possibility of lvl 200 with an Uber change -Helltide, add appearances of Butcher, groups of goblins, normal Duriels, Andys, Varshans... -Pvp event, Rewards with Stygean Stone or something interesting New seasonal mechanics (something interesting, turret defense? idk)

You can probably get a one GA item from 2-4 runs which you can sell. Right now things are inflated due to no real way of trading.

I just went through 250M just to reroll all res on pants and master working a ring/amulet.

[@drawzor]

Nothing is selling if its not a really good item. I have like 50 items listed in d4 trade with 1-2 GA and they have been there for 3+ days. And players dont have time to sit and wait for a buyer and dont want to go to a third party website to sell.

[@cepholopod777]

I find Rob's missing the point of what Rax is saying, Rax is thinking outside the box for solutions and Rob is consumed inside the box and can't see outside of it... The model has blinded him!!

Because the box and lock was paid for by blizzard #DiabloPartner

[@alexaugustus1011]

Yeah... I've noticed that when I was watching the video. Sometimes he made jokes about what's said by Rax... I mean, the purpose of the video made by rax was exactly provide some crazy ideas to make Blizzard look at the problems in a different way.

[@Mytelefe]

No Raxx crafted a different box in his head and got stuck in it. I partially disagree with Rob too though.

[@Mas-ij3ti]

@@Mytelefe Not at all. He drew parallels to how other games do it. Hard bricking an item should only be for the last little bit of extra power not the 100% mandatory tempering. If you could risk to brick the item for 10-20% extra damage that’s one thing. Tempering should just be infinite but increased cost to where it soft bricks the time because it gets too expensive. Masterworking could have a 13th step where there is a risk of the item bricking but the exchange is more power. Like crafting in POE is infinite but it costs a lot, so you can’t do it infinitely.

I kind of disagree that there's no more gold sink...

[@hav0c949]

I really really want some adjustment to tempering, I just bricked a 2ga bow on hardcore, it rolled the same affix five times repeatedly.

My favorite thing is rerolling the same affix and watching it go lower and lower every time. /s Why? Why is that a thing that can happen? If I have 14% on chance to shoot another whatchamacallit it shouldn't be able to roll into 13% and then 10% dude. Ugh it fuckin sucks.

[@ZensivYT]

the amount of bricked insane amulets i have is absolutely soul crushing

[@zavinzagg]

Rob I'm going to explain to you why people are saying you're out of touch. I'm a pretty active player, I spend 4+ hours playing the game a day, my strongest character is a minion necro (very original) I can clear 100+ pits consistently, but none of my gear is what you would call "good". There is a serious problem with progression once you get to that "copium phase" of gearing, I've found like 1 piece of gear that was more than a 5-10% upgrade in the past week, and guess what it bricked. So i should go to buy gear and just farm stygian stones right? Minion necro just doesn't kill anything fast enough to get under a 5 min clear, so that's not an effective option. So i hope for good drops at helltide, I've made like 1b doing primarily that for the past week but I literally alt tab afk it because my minions solo it, its a terrible way to play the game. But its for the upgrades right? Guess what any item that is good for my build is 10b, and even if i did get the chance to buy a good piece there's like a 50% chance that I'll brick it. So to suggest there's an easy solution feels fucking insulting. Its overall a really miserable experience to the point where the easiest way for me to gear and progress my necro; is to level and build a whirlwind barb, because they are leagues ahead of every other build in the game in terms of power and speed.

[@thebeast12333]

You're right they should leave it as it is.

[@faceman3585]

They just need to do it the same way they do rerolling affixes, or make it so when you're tempering an item, the same affix can't roll twice in a row. That will drastically increase the odds of not bricking an item.

[@andrewphillips4266]

That price basically makes trading in a game with no efficient trading system necessary

[@mafia-xgrowtipsandreviews7768]

That's not actually true blizzard listens to rob a lot and they actually promote him they also let him play the ptr after we couldn't so yeah he's blizzards golden boy and yes he repeats streamers stuff cause that's that's streamers do they share Information and knowledge

[@Dan_Dos_]

@@ChilledUnskilled I agree, I dont want to have to go to 3rd party sites nor do I want to completely trivialize gold sinks by benefiting from the RMT infested economy.

Grabs popcorn, heads to comment section for some laughs 😂

[@f.m848]

Right now, if your temper manual has 4 possible affixes and you need 2 of them, you have more than a 75% chance to brick the item. people don't realize how brutal the RNG in Loot Reborn is. and that's not mentioning the RNG for getting GAs. I've played over 300 hours this season alone and I haven't found a single +bash pants so far, I'm not even talking about +Bash GA, just normal ones, not even a +2 bash!!!! I'm still using an 807 pants because it has +2 basic skills. I've found two +3 basic skills pants and bricked both of them! the RNG in loot reborn is brutal!

[@emoussea1]

What they need to do is something like: Give us the option to really juice crafting… Spend 400 extra forgotten souls to remove and affix from the tempering pool. Spend 100 prisms to give 30% chance at the temper being a max roll. Spend an extra 1000 veiled crystals to give a +25% chance of an affix of your choosing to be selected etc. stuff like that. Sell these items for a lot of gold as a good gold sink.

[@chrisarksey]

I so agree with the boss matt drops from tormented bosses...when I only got 1 matt I was like wtf!

[@ChippaWubba]

IMO this tempering for a spark is very out of touch community wise and doesn't reward players sticking around. As someone who doesn't play the game as much as you do.. STOP for the love of god asking for tempering reset to be a spark.. you and maybe 1% of the player base have free sparks.. the rest of us are just trying to get 1 of out 5 tempering (twice) on main and off hand just to make a build work let alone min max. You think it should be expensive because your at the end game with many 2-4 GR items.. what about someone who is just trying to make a normal or one GR item work and it's rare for us. We don't get the drops like you do or have the item turn over unless we put hours into the game. Large amounts of play time shouldn't reward tempering re-set.. it should be a high cost.. but doable for everyone and not restricted to a rare and border line random material chance. (30 duriel's and zero ubers for example is my current "luck") The only way I support spark reset. Is if i get to pick the tempering that roles (out of the 4-5 options) but it could be low or high roll. I would rather keep the bosses and pits harder as it gives us all something to aim for.. and fix class balance and tempering reset. I hate also that making money means using a 3rd party website for trading.. to be honest the game shouldn't be based around this if it isn't in the game, that's a design flaw if that's required to make money.

[@thebeast12333]

There should be no reset at all.

[@jeffpops5290]

I have 1 spark from iron wolves. It’s hard to group up to fight bosses bc of no group finder. I’m a casual and have no chance at a Uber unique. Only have time to max out 1 character per season plus some master working.

[@AlainNavasDrama]

[@Thorgrimn]

I’ve been back and forth on the bricking from tempering divide. But here is a solution that some on both sides might like: 1: Tempering: A. You roll like enchanting. Get 2 choices plus keep the original. Keep the same amount of rolls currently AND part B. B. You get 1 reset per item that costs 25 million gold, 10 stygian, and 1000 neathiron. After that it is bricked forever. I think that would be best for both the economy and health of the game long term. 2. Uber(Mythic) Uniques: A. Make them drop with a unique red beam with special effects and unique sound. B. Rework mythic stats to make one stat stand out well above a normal stat and rework the effect to make us say wow that is FUN. Hint: its not always about the damage increase. I want mythic uniques to be very unique. Mythic stats should not be below a normal legendary stat roll because that makes zero sense. 3. Armory loadout: A. We need an armory and this needs to be a priority. Too many fun builds and it is way too hard to switch paragon plus gear. 4. In Game auction house: A. I do not want a 3rd party website to have any of my information ever period. We need a solid in game gold based AH so that we can have a thriving trade community. This should be mandatory for a AAA game today. 5. Single player vs group: A. Group always will have advantages like 4X drops for ubers etc. I play BOTH group and solo but there is too much disparity. Why not give solo players just a small boost like only 1 stygian stone to summon but in groups it remains 2? Group would still be far more efficient but at least there would not be a chasm between the 2.

[@MetallicJon]

Well Rob let's be real here... Try in season 5 and play completely Solo. So no friends and no trade. Then we can try and see how far you get. For most people who don't interact with friends/communities or trade, the gold sink is still very real... I just spend my entire fortune (840 million) enchanting on 1 affix on the weapon... guess what... I still haven't gotten my affix. Bottomline is, if you're unlucky and solo playing the gold sink is extremely real. But I challenge you to do season 5 Solo. No trade and no grouping. You will still do better than the every 4-6 hr a day player ;) But really try to do it 100% solo ;)

[@402outdoorzx5]

It's not the games fault you are rolling for a 1% at the affix you want, you never want to roll ranks to skills, almost impossible to get. And if you are so casual you would've ran out of angel breath before spending that 700k😊

[@MetallicJon]

I play on average about 8 hrs a day (though I do stream as well) But I do play 90% pure solo, I don't trade cause I can't be arsed to go through the hassle for it. I have bricked every single double GA and above item on tempering. My problem with the system isn't bricking. It is the fact it is supposed be a journey with your item, however, the journey ends before it starts.

[@soulless2962]

22:26 you cant compare you to normal players (no offense). Not everyone farmed the goblin event so much and plays a ton. I have maybe 50 Scattered Prism. The problem is they cant balance the game around super good players that play this game alot and for a living. Expect everyone else to have a lot more problems then you with materials

[@SservisGaming]

Raxx plays basically SSF. For such players, gold is still hard to come by. I'd bet that most casuals are like this also.

[@FroggyStyle]

The best thing they can do for tempering is to add the ability to earn more temper rolls. Like kill 1000 monsters with this weapon equipped to earn 1 more temper roll. Then 5000 monster for a second roll, 10000 for a third roll. You should be able to earn temper rolls, rather than just having to salvage the item.

[@aandisegregate5208]

if anyone is out of touch its Rob, 1 spark or a billion gold LMFAO, most casual players dont have a spark or even close to a billion gold, it needs to be cheap enough for the casual players as theyre 90% of the population, catering to the 10% of players that might have the sparks or gold just leaves the casual player base annoyed and more frustrated with the game, again Rob has a box full of ubers, casual players might have 1 or 2 at most and theyre probably using them on their build, @rob you need to think about people that are not on the game 12+ hours a day

[@EnnoiaM]

He only thinks about himself and his content, he doesn't care about burning Sparks because he will never run out of them, so he will be able to do resets while the normal player won't be able to use that feature.

[@DiabLO1player]

i totally agree, when the game is based around the top 0000001% then the game becomes unfun for casuals but there is also a counter to that balance that you cant just cater to your casuals and i think blizzard needs to figure that out for themselves but i agree that Rob in general is out of touch from your average diablo player, I mean like the dude plays this game for a job. I still hold a high respect towards Rob but i do agree this is a bad take

[@Rob2628]

A lot of people don’t like the current system & this is just ONE possible option & one man’s opinion. At the moment you can’t reset any item atall in tempering. So anything is an update to the current frustration point that players have. I just feel it should be something meaningful

We should not be able to 1 shot EVERYTHING.

[@kennyhouser3467]

Play something other than the bugged out FoTM crap and you won't 1 shot everything... It amazes me that players constantly play clearly broken builds that are not functioning even close to as intended and then complain about a lack of difficulty. If you play a Barb for instance, you're basically playing a cheat code at this point. Go roll a Druid and see how much you 1 shot bosses...

[@mattjtx93]

Of course rob wants to be able to spend a resplendent spark to reset a temper, he has had 50+ of them. I dumped a fair bit of hours in the season as a casual player, leveled every character to 100 and have had a total of 5. I would still be without an Uber unique if I didnt use my sparks to get it. His take is just out of touch, no matter how much he assures us that “he knows” the cost is too steep.

[@Rob2628]

As I said in the video it should be meaningful. Scattered Prisms would also be a great solution! Or add more tempers per Great Affix on the item. But if it just costs a bit of Gold it gets to easy & loses meaning

@@mattjtx93fair point yes we will see what happens. Thanks mate 💪🏻

[@topfive3109]

Easy fix for the tempering system: Make us able to target roll the specific effect we want on the item and widen the roll gap of it, like that you still make it difficult for players to achieve their perfect max roll but at the very least they will not completely brick their item with a shitty random roll that is not used in their build. Cause right now you have to fight the rng 4 times to temper an item exactly as u want it, you have to fight rng for the temper you actually want, then you have to fight it again for a decent roll and then you'll have to do the same for the second tempering effect, it's just abysmal as it is.

For an average player who devotes what time I have to this game, I agree that scattered prisms for temper rerolls is a good thing.

Let's see what blizzard says today about it as we all have some ideas but if they'll even seen this or consider this comment? Highly unlikely

[@raistlinmajere3194]

Tempering Issue 1. Revisit the tempering manuals and its contents. The marksman/crit damage and cutthroat/vulnerable tempers doesn't make sense. Temper groupings should make sense so that choices will not seem like a hard brick. 2. I agree with the No Change in the Temper choices. 3. Sparks as resource for temper reset is too much. Several stygian stones, gold and few materials should suffice, but it will just give players just 1 additonal temper per request to reset.

Gold is fine if you're trading. If you're someone who prefers to play SSF (or Group-found or non-trading) then its a slog...

[@user-mn8cs7of1b]

I posted this on raxx’s video as well. But I think the loadouts as mentioned is needed most. a quick way to solve this if not giving loadouts is to make glyph levels shared on each class. It's quick to level up a new character now. I don't mind having to do that. If the glyphs were all shared on a class we can have different ones for different tasks without much hassle. This would allow each to have their own paragon board and gear. Would be a quick solve if not able to do loadouts. This would cater to all. Those that like to play more and those who take there time. I think this is a quick solve they should be able to implement to make the game more fun for all.

[@Anfa18]

Maybe allowing 1 temper is a "solution" for uniques. However, they should not be the same tempers we have for legendary items but rather unique tempers. Perhaps stats that cannot be seen anywhere else in the game and not just +2 passive stat, damage to close, move speed, +armor, +life etc. They need to think outside the narrow box to create fun and interesting synergies that keep people coming back.

[@mystiksemporium]

Season 5 must haves: Tempering of uniques. Yellow gear has less affixes than legendaries. So why dont unique items have more than a legendary? Why does a legendary item have more pow and pop than a unique? Fix tempering to be more like enchanting. Gold economy is out of hand. Inflated gold costs for trading controlled by 3rd party gold sellers. That is the only way anyone could possibly have billions of gold. So either crackdown on 3rd parry gold sales, or create a way to combat people selling items for 15b+ gold. Add a leaderboard for pit. Make treasure goblin loot tradeable instead of account bound. Adjust affixes that are completely undervalued such as life per second etc. This way when it rolls as a GA its not immediately dismissed. When you have 100k health and only gain 200 life per second it is not enough value to even be meaningful. Armory system for loadout storage/quick swap. Pit needs to be equal drops for all party members. Paragon rework Balancing of resources like angelsbreath and gold and gems frags.

[@vc4990]

Rob kept mentioning you can get 50 million gold by doing a pit run and selling the stone. However, it is a pain in the butt for casual players like me, who actually cleared 127 tier pit, to trade via 3rd party websites. Without the ability to sell on 3rd party websites, gold is super hard to earn. One speedy pit run only gives around 250k gold.

For the tempering I have the eziest solution. Just increase the dropchance of double and tripple GAs. It doesnt hurt so much if I know that I will get Good gear more often. Season started with "Wow I got Double/Tripple GA wohooo" to "wow... Im going to fuck up the tempering" and that is a shame cause this season is quite good.

[@luzyddreym]

The spark to reroll your tempering is such a bad idea for us casuals who can play an entirety of a season to never get one. I think the solution is to just let us reroll, and it'll cost like 2 mil, 5 mil, 10 mil, 15 mil, 20 mil, and be capped at 25 mil. Also, keep the free rolls and the 5 others. This will give you 6 extra rolls.

[@AlexandruBazavan]

I have a Bash Barb with which I did 119 Pit, so pretty good build and I never ran out of Angelbreath, but always get limited by Veiled Crystals. I believe it is all about how and what you farm.

[@markusludwig4951]

What about the option to use royal gems to determine which recipe will be rolled, or at least increase the chance for it?

[@maddoggaming1171]

Tempering has been so frustrating. I started the season as a Druid but ended up moving to barb after seeing how similar bash barb and wind shear druids were but bash was just better in every way. I bricked my first 5 weapons in a row trying to get bash affix, my 6th weapon finally rolled bash but was the absolute lowest roll possible but I didn’t dare try to roll it again.

[@msi1985]

Yeah this is really unfortunate I rolled Druid last... Of course I went wind shear and I had nearly perfect triple grader affix items in each slot.... Still feels very underpowered in comparison to my bashboy.

[@jaegybomb]

I actually stopped playing for a day when I bricked my first 1b item but overall I like the depth it adds to item building.

[@greganastas]

Wardrobe where you can hang gear up, so you don't have to look through your inventory to find what went with what build (irritating in D3). And please give individual character inventory tabs - so i don't have to run around with half my character stash full. Lastly, at least 8 more character slots. I will have 12 characters at level 100 for season 4 alone.

[@Jestur99]

I like tempering the way it is.(maybe let us keep what we have already rolled) It gives adrenaline and a huge rush when you hit what you want and a grind for that item again if you brick. How bored would you be if everything was perfect right away.

[@alanherrera3852]

One solution for empowering units is maybe give the option for the player to combine the same unique maybe 3 to 5 of the same typeand it will empower that unique.

Rob, Play without trading. Then you feel the Gold issue. Imagine here are Players out here without trading and rmt. I am personaly on console. Trading is even worse. Trading and rmt is the Problem. IT is a hole different World Play without it. You will altough have big Problems to get geared with 2 or 3 greater affix. Because you find 1 item a week that fit. And then brick it at tempering. Your wirlwind is amasing. Bring so much fun to us. Ty!!

[@Brii.Z]

Here is a better idea: - Kill player to player trading (and thus getting rid of the gold/item sellers) - Bring back the AH - Allow unlimited tempering for those who play less than 3hrs a day on any given day, but scale the mats and gold like enchanting - If an account is caught more than 3hrs in-game on any given day, they are locked out of resetting tempering all season account wide, meaning, their alts cannot reset tempers either The reason for the last one, there was a post on reddit 2-3 days ago that had the perfect solution for resetting tempering which got many upvotes: Go out and get another item. So those that play in excess of 3hrs on any given day, go out and find another item. Or grind gold the old fashioned away (because people can't give others items or gold) and buy it off the AH. And yes, this would affect me with my current playtime, I'd be locked out of resetting tempering for the season.

[@broutefoin]

that's a really bad idea, like, of all the suggestions, this a contender for worst and misses the point of frustration that people have with the system, "just go farm another item, bro!" after bricking your BIS 3 GA item.. something you might not see again for the rest of the season, I'll take rob's spark reset (which is also bad) over this any day. Raxx's idea has so much more potential, move the bricking down the line, add a step at the end, maybe requiring rare mats (like a spark or world stone shards) tempering > masterworking > Ascention, Tempering: either go with pick your temper with a reroll limit , or RNG with infinite rolls Masterworking : keep as is or maybe add a reset limit if you don't develop the progression further or... full masterwork unlocks the chance for ascention Ascention: gamble your fully masterworked item with some world stone shards for a chance to create an ascended/divine weapon (maybe makes all the affixes (even the tempered) into GAs or something, turning it into the perfect item), the item can also be corrupted (reroll everything to mininum value?) or just destroyed. the system outline above means that people get to build an item up, and then make a choice, they can also hedge their bet by building up several items before trying to ascention, and have a backup masterwork ready to go if it fails, the point being, it moves the frustration down to the end of the journey and puts it up to a player's choice instead of RNG on top of RNG (the godly drop)

[@kennyhouser3467]

The solution is very simple. Make tempering similiar to enchanting with 3 options to choose which one of those would be "keep current affix" and give 5 tries as it is now.

[@gabrielnicholas528]

Love the suggestions from you and Raxx, not sure about spark being the temper reset resource, just create a new one or use an existing one that’s farmable. My idea would be to give some value to GA items that hit useless affixes, perhaps allow them to salvage for something greater? GA affixed items salvage into temper reset materials? Or how about add a vendor that can reroll GA affixes once? My biggest wish for season 5 and the xpac is endgame variety and endgame ladder. I would love to see more challenging bosses in general . Right now the Uber bosses are a joke especially after the nerf. You blast straight through any mechanics. How boring. Hopefully the group dungeons or raids can give us some sort of replayability. Overall I had a lot of fun, this was my first season inD4, however, as someone who maxed out around pit 130, there’s really nothing keeping me around… off to Elden ring!

For a gold sync, maybe the new Raids should have a 20 million gold buy in just to enter it. If you pay more gold, you have a higher chance at special rewards if you can defeat it in time. There’s a lot of cool things they can do to fix the gold economy, but just constantly adhering to casuals has ruined what we had at season start. And yeah, making the bosses so easy has also ruined the game. Unique items are also trash…smh I hate how the casuals have taken over

atleast they could double or triple the selling value of items we sell to NPC and make unique item sell for millions each. i think that could really help the gold problem without breaking the gold market or gold sink problem.

[@LittleRadicalThinker]

42:21 overpower is meant to be one big hit several seconds. It’s by design. Consistent damage is not what overpower meant to be. It should be like one giga hit as much as 10 barbillion-bashes

[@RomT69]

The essence of being a unique is their same set of stats every time. So I think it's fair for unique item base stats to match a Legendary GA affix. And Uniques with GA has bigger values than Legandary GAs. This is the only way to make uniques viable again.

[@SeeOlEe]

I disagree with many takes here. Every resource in the game feels scarce to me. Gold takes forever to farm, masterworking materials take forever to farm, items with more than one GA take forever to farm, gems somehow take forever to farm, and uber Lilith is impossible unless you farm for weeks or Google a bugged/busted build. I shouldn't be required to play the game like a job to make progress.

[@danh.5998]

They should buff every affix on every unique by at least 100%. Uniques aren’t even really worth having, and even if you have them, you usually only care about the unique power, and not the affixes themselves. Make them OP. They should be.

[@Darth_Lord_89]

what do you think about 3 steps reseting tempering: 1st cheap (500M gold) 2nd 30xScattered Prism 3rd 1 resplendent spark :) and if you want reset 4th time 2 spark etc

[@msi1985]

I have an idea for temperament... Increase the reroll amounts to 5 per category, meaning that you would get a total of 12 rolls per item. If you wanted to add three additional reroll chances it would cost 10x scattered prisms and if you wanted to fully reset the item it would cost 5 million gold along with one resplendent spark. Just these simple changes would make the rolling process less likely to break the item. You would also be time gated on adding more rolls to an item using the scattered prism.... Useful if you had achieved one of the stats you wanted but failed out on another. And ultimately a resplendent spark in 5 million gold is a reasonable cost to completely reset the process. If it's a 3 or 4 greater affix item then there's no problem with spending this cost to reset... If you're not willing to spend at least this amount I don't think the item itself is good enough. A lot of people talking about how this might be too expensive for casual... Just find another item, if your casual... The right stats on an item isn't hard to find the right stats on a greater affix is a different story.

[@RomT69]

I'm gonna say this again... we should spend like Scattered Prism x50 to unbrick an item. I have 300pcs of it now and it has no other purpose. This way, players will be more active in WB and Legions even if they dont count to the whisper.

[@psirex6]

@Rob: I play SSF and still have Gold problems since I don't trade. I have 3 level 100 chars, but since I need those double and tripple MW hits on Cooldown for Flameshield Sorc I spend 50-100mil per item on Masterwork. You have to run a lot of Whispers for that. The Gold Inflation you experience comes from lots and lots of Goldfarmers/sellers where the average joe buys a billion gold for a few bucks and 3rd Party websites.

[@Bartgast]

I also would like to see the enchant brackets like in D3 - so that not every affix can roll on every "slot"

[@Roobencharmer1]

There needs to be an established economy in the game for sure! If they do and AH only in gold currency not money. It would also give another way to free up space from your inventory for limited time only. Buy now/ auctions can be held for like 3-30days for like 30 items. It would also suggest sold item prices based on similar items that were previously sold? Like any other auction houses.

[@Adepth7]

Tempering needs to get a new item introduced that drops in late late game. It should be really rare, maybe like the old stygian stone drop rate in the pit, and with this item you can reset your tempering. Using gold is such a bad solution

[@Adepth7]

The gems and scatter prisms was awesome in the start. I felt like I really needed to be careful what I did with it and I wasnt just given these things passively which is great. Previously the gems has always just been there, when I hit 90 I can just craft a full set without having to have done anything except playing the game. Scatter prisms was the same way. I could always just socket whatever I wanted but now I valued the socket slot when it was naturally dropped on an item more since I had a very limited amount of scatters

[@Adepth7]

Uniques should not be able to be tempered. They should be build defining. Just giving you more dmg is boring. The unique that makes the boulder fly in the hurricane for druid, that is a great unique. More of those! Have uniques that just changes what element your core skill is or so, something that really changes how you build or play your character, not just "equip this and you will deal more dmg" that is the D3 way and d3 is a garbage game.

[@ownagebox]

a way to change uniques is either buff the base stats so all uniques start with the highest legendary stat as lowest roll, i mean what is 28 all stats on a uber unique it should be 150 atleast. or ultra buff the effects on them. so when some drop you know its allways better then the legendary you got already. And most imporant gives uniques some meaningfull stats and not some rnd crap like a 5% chance potion drop rate

[@kennyhouser3467]

Agreed. At a minimum, unique stat rolls should be +100% of their legendary equipment alternatives. This includes the affix. Uniques don't need to have tempering options imo. They just need to be made competitive enough to where there is a tradeoff. It should be customization vs pure stat weight+unique affix. That way, the choice between 1 or the other isn't a 1 sided forgone conclusion in either direction.

Would disagree with some of the stuff you are mentioning but you are also contradicting yourself quite a lot here - On one side D4 is becoming a casual fest with no need for gold, on the other you are indeed confirming (after failing to show you even did enchant anything on your current character) some rolls are very hard to get and costly. Keep in mind that outside of the casual aspect, I feel people play D4 very differently, for instance: - You, a person who's job it is to literally play this, is very savvy about the current meta of the game and can optimise every corner of it (that also implies your knowledge on trading in outside trading websites) - A random person just playing D4 alone (already hindered by the systems of getting less rewards) and who hates using third party because 2 times out of 3 people are stupid, in a rush, scammers, etc. Those two profiles will have very different perspectives, even if both are playing quite regularly. From my own experience, without especially trading a lot and playing alone, my gold ceiling is around 20-30m, 50m if I haven't been doing anything recently. I realise that there is 'My decicion' and the most optimal way to play, but to me exploiting the 4 man meta which highly rewards (rotation, etc) you and dealing with outside trading is not something I wish to do. So both our experiences don't match at all.

I don't think this is true, or at least not all of the time, and definitely not in the case of D4 imo. Loot reborn happened because of player feedback. A vastly improved legendary aspect management system is in place because of player feedback. A lot of good changes have come to D4 as a result of player driven feedback. They obviously can't implement every single player idea, that would be bad (and also impossible given the numbers), but they can at least try and figure out what core problem any given subset of player ideas is trying to solve and then go from there.
