      eh, I've played Last Epoch a bunch and sure, Tempering in theory feels similar to the shard upgrade system, the affixes are more specific and impactful in D4 for now. plus Masterworking is completely unique. the only thing they more or less blatantly copied are greater affixes, that is obviously just Exalted items. but hey, I don't see why not to get inspired from another great game when Last Epoch got inspired by other ARPGs to begin with. just results in more great games for us all to play ​@johnWayne-vd1qy

      That's irrelevant to the people making the decisions though. Blizzard has had two decades+ to get their shit together, and to learn from, and to still be making the same mistakes OVER and OVER is not acceptable, regardless of who is in charge. Clearly you haven't heard much about blizzard lately, but most of those devs wouldn't show up to work if they weren't getting heavy OT and kick backs. It's been well documented. The "Good" dev team at blizzard is long gone.

    The problem with D4 is that Activision Blizzard DIDN'T learn from D3, specifically D3's spectacular failure right out the gate as well as with its sustainability. D3 is a bad game. D2/D2R is still the king of the Diablo franchise, and until they accept that and build from it, the franchise will continue to suffer.

      Yeah as if that would ever happen. All you need to do, is just look how long D4 was in development. And how Bliztard devs had to quite literally bury their heads in sand to miss all the more successful games like PoE & Grim Dawn etc and not being able to get any inspiration from those games. Thus you get the D4 launch, and the utter garbage game what it turned out to be.
      So no, they will not be able to " hear you " ever, they are so incompetent that i'd be surprised if they can sit on the toilet without their handler helping them.
      And then if you truly wanna lose all faith in humanity, realize that there are "people" that still play D4 and/or support Bliz. i mean when the devs are barely smarter than a dead ameba, those poor braindead fanboys are leagues beneath that still..

    It's not a step in the right direction if they're adding in stuff from Diablo 3. Greater rifts was one of the most bland, repetitive grindy content ever, endlessly doing them for literally nothing."infinite" difficulty scaling, is a weak attempt to make the game appear deeper than it is. Can some one tell me how diablo 2 had three difficulties and nailed it? But d3/d4 needs 150 + greater rift "difficulties" ? Its just poor game design and it eventually leads to the imbalance of builds capable of doing these high end "difficulties". So at the end of the day if you want to hit the 200 pit, you will need to play 1 of 3 meta builds or just play in the kiddie pool. 😅 Anyone who thinks adding mechanics from d3 to d4 are a positive change are DELUSIONAL. It's just a shallow game and d4 will become even shallower because of it

I wish we could at least encounter them randomly in the world or in NMD or, if they absolutely insist we have to use parts, let us travel to them from a rift type portal from a central location.

      ​@@countryc0untI think only min-maxers look back on rune words particularly negatively. The average player has never had an enigma. Most max out around spirits. Each individual mid rune or higher is a more measurably fulfilling drop than all but a handful of items in just about any other ARPG. Rares stay useful for like 50 hours at average player speeds. Bases stay useful the entire game. A ton of legendary boots, gloves, belts, jewelry, and often helms stay useful for most classes all game. Basically every ARPG except POE with it's fairly different socket system would drastically improve even if it just implemented rune words and stopped there. And that's not to say it's some pinnacle to stop developing at.

If I lose, it's because *I* lost and can now improve. But in team games, someone can log in and choose to grief their team (something i saw happen a lot in Heroes of the Storm "Oh, we're losing now; I'm just going to throw and feed the enemy team instead of continuing to try to win") thus ruining everyone else's experience.

Hope you don't want stamina potions and potions chugging back as well :) Or FHR mechanics.

    Given how many items i have bricked because of forging, my advice it to NOT let forging rework the same affix twice in a row.
    This can be a good thing and bad, but in my days of testing and forging gear, it MORE THAN NOT gave me the same affix three times in a row and it wasnt something i was chasing.
    That is frustrating because you finally get what you want on the gear, but then you go to roll your mobility (or whatever affix you intend, and you only have one forge left) and it bricks a PERFECT item.
    I sent them a message about working a "Scroll of influence" into the game that applies X amount of influence toward YOUR SELECTION.
    That way there doesn't need to be a million types of scrolls, just a ui menu selection when you apply the scroll of influence.
    Nothing over the top, just something that ensures a higher probability for a specific outcome. (If reworking the math on the forge is a problem)
    I already know how people are going to feel, because i experienced it ALOT...
    I also would like to note that IF a scroll of influence is worked into the game, that itself SHOULD BE a chase item.
    Great gear takes time.
    You might want to look at it in your inventory for a while, while you hunt down that sweet sweet probable outcome.
    We shall see.

    • @marsovac

      it is fine you have the whole season to farm another and retry. The bricking will be painful, but it will keep the chase going.
      And people will learn. First thing you do is temper what you really need. Then the secondary temper. Sometimes better to stop early if minrolled, just to not brick it.
      If there are multiple non greater affixes as a possible reroll, dont reroll the stat yet. Masterwork first, see where the bonuses land, then reroll the affix that you want with the big bonus at the occultist, to get the bonus on what you want.

    They have not listened to anything, it is the same timeline as other Diablo games. All planned just like with d3. remember "bad launch" loot reset with the excuse of fixing it etc.. They sell you a purposely broken game, the fixes toward the complete game is the only thing they do and never have to create in-game content. A lot of companies operate like this, they create the final product first, then " break it into a incomplete product, and slowly give you or sell you increments towards the complete version.

      I feel like if that was true we would data mine it or most important during the blizzard chaos from the lawsuits forsure employees would have spoken out. Unfortunately I think they're just that bad now. There's not one person who made d2 still on the team

      @@jlichman1046 they can't make it good even if they have the staff, I know for a fact, that companies these days are structured like government. what you see and work with is the fake, and the ppl in it don't know is fake, but trust the illusion. Then there is the real layer on the top that no one sees. we are in the Matrix, just not plugged with wires.

      Bobby said 6.6.2023. It had to be. I guess they could have launched as "early access" like PoE or LE did, and nobody would have complained.
