Diablo 4: The Biggest Problem that Remains

If there was a way to lock the stat you get from Tempering rather than having the double dipped RNG of rerolling it to get some other stat at the lowest roll, I think that'd work well. If we could stop the cycle of stats, we could reroll without the worry of losing the stat we want and just hope for the tier of roll.

the journalist was wrong, but not unethical.... do you see the problem?

Here's an idea for tempering: instead of the random chance and gambling aspect, have a person select 1 really powerful affix +/- 10% of ~100% buff; example: for a helm, a sorc can temper it to be +100%(+/- 10%) damage for frost OR shock OR fire. You pick one, and that's it. This can apply to so many things, let your imagination run with it.

Not only are you active in bricking with tempering, but if I'm not mistaken, indentifying doesn't cost resources, whereas tempering does... also, identifying is just an extra step between getting loot and finding out what it is. It doesn't change the item.

Make Druid Great (for once). Every other class has had builds that push pits but Druid is left out.

Temper will always suck period. What the point of a perfect roll that you may never see again, only to brick it. Feels bad everytime. Period. We've all been there, and it makes you want to stop playing.

uber uniques are a bad feeling - every build puts them in - they aren't for sure going to drop for you. D3 had a better system - Ancient and Primal items - let the items drop with lower stats - make ubers ancient - now everyone can get the items they are looking for instead of getting frustrated.

Here's how to fix tempering : keep everything exactly as his but further introduce uber rare scrolls of tinkering - which act as following : single use item that allows an item which can no longer be tempered to let you select a specific temper of your choice. However, the scroll still roll the % value range for the selected temper randomly, according to your highest unlocked tempering recipe.
Solved.

Longterm idea. Make a skill tree style option for your chosen temper tree. Material acquired through various events, raising, balancing, and encouraging more activities activities...

D4 feels like a mobile game and with poe2 around the corner, blizz is better just to bring out a whole new engine cause the current one is so outdated.

Pits and whispers are boring they can bring those garbage things up to infernal hordes if they want any nerfs to hordes will kill the next season

Why doesn’t Rhykker use keyboard for movement?

As a casual player I find a couple of things that are a hinderance to me really enjoying the game.

* The Farming... The endless farming. Farming for Glyph points, farming for materials to open a dungeon only to have to farm that dungeon to get materials to open yet another dungeon to try and start farming for materials OMG! The Farming.
* Having no paragon path for the levelling builds. It's great what's available on Maxroll, but as a casual player, I'm not ready to jump into an endgame build at level 50 and at level 50 I don't have enough anything to run an endgame build well. But there is no where that gives paragon paths for a levelling build.

What remains is to make the skins cheaper or be able to buy them with in game money like Helldivers2

They should make something similar to the scroll of amnesia that resets tempering attempts. Don't make it a super common drop but not something too rare either.

Conduit Shrine: just let us do the sparky spark while running around like it did in D3, and replace our Evade with the current "teleport to" ability that Conduit gives us.

Yeah, it would be nice to have a way to re-temper past the brick point, maybe at significant cost or items you have to collect that would make it difficult but not impossible to reroll. I don't think that's the biggest problem with the game though. Constantly changing the rules of play, ambiguous descriptions of how things actually work and starting from scratch every season is what's driving players away. A fourth thing is lack of community in the game makes it a lot less interesting as a solo player.

Honestly
I hope it gets better
I finally tried D4
I sort of like it

You do need to do normal dungeon/whisper/helltide for some temper recipes. Some recipes just don't drop on nmd and infernal horde. BTW it's also so stupid I need to go back to WT3 for yellow recipes b'cos legend recipes won't drop if you don't have the yellow recipes.

Unless you are playing an OP build, you need to farm Pits to be able to farm Tier7 Infernal hordes

Tempering solution: instead of picking from a list of say 5 different stats and hoping you get the one you want. You get to pick the exact stat, but the range of said stat is what you roll the dice on. So you if you wanted crit dmg you select it, but your rolling for the % and hoping to get max or close to max.

All the recent news for d4 makes me realize there will never be another d2 there is no challenge until I get one shot past 100

RE: Journalism; it's unethical to enter an understanding with a person and to then break it, regardless of whether a contract was signed. Contracts came about because of lack of ethical behavior of one of the parties involved; if everyone behaved ethically by honoring their word, there would be no need of contracts. RE: Diablo 4; my biggest issue right now is the lack of ability to acquire more character slots, and will probably keep me from buying the expansion.

IMO on bricking If you can't fail you can't win.

Im happy about that W4 news. My hope is that we get to play as Ciri. That would be so awesome. She has cool powers that would be quite interesting to explore in a game setting.

The bricking killed season 4 for me early, already done with season 5. I'm bricking double and triple greater affix items all day long. There's no way to improve anymore.

I'm on ps5. I loved the idea of infernal hordes and what they did with this season item-wise. But hordes still bugs out and won't finish 60% of the time. Made me give up on season.

The problem with d4 is that it's boring, infernal hordes are boring.

Tempering needs to go also give us the armory

After not playing d4 for the first 4 seasons and not even finishing the campain due to how slow bad d4 felt, s5 is a really good time.

But even I as a newer d4 player but a veteran in the arpg genre, tempering is very unsatifying. The bonus/enchants it gives are realllllly nice, but being locked behind attemps and very high chance of not getting what you want or a low roll of it and not being able to roll it further is frustrating.

If they want to leave attempts in the game... that not ideal, but give us more reroll and give us a new crafting option to reroll the roll once we hit so we can work toward a perfect roll.

I cant be fkd grinding 200 hrs to get the uniques to make my barb to complete a t7 run to then finally finish upgrading the equipment to max roll.... maybe if your lucky you get the right temper on that special peice.... its too random. I wish i just deleted the game after last season

You still play this game? 😂😂

why no reason to do another ativities than infernal hordes? I think its true only after you leveled up all paragons in nightmare dungeons and maxed all of your gear with pit. None of these 2 can be done with running just infernal hordes.

Tempering is good tool, but bricking good items was reason I stopped to play diablo4, maybe I will return when few season will pass

Lots of bot comments 😂

Does anyone know if PVP kills are still possible? I’ve set my status to Bloodmarked, and barely see any players show up.

If you're a person who has never played Diablo and wanted to try it out what's the best place to start? Older games or the latest ones. Also do seasons change the game completely even if you play from the very beginning?

Current lot of gaming journalists are not gentlemen, so you need proper NDA while dealing with them.

I think to fix tempering maybe having an additional same unique you can sacrifice (possibly with a few other ingredients) to reset the bricked item to base found form.

That way there is still a find aspect and or buy, but isnt just a button to reroll.

Just makes it when you find a perfect unique you can rest assured that with enough time or money invested you can keep resetting.

Not paid news would be good

The biggest Problem is the Devs that Don't understand Diablo......I haven't even played the Game since the Start of Season 5. I have better things to do.

Д4 херня

When tempering, you're not making the item worse. The blacksmith is. 😅

In response to what you said Rhykker, If i asked someone to keep there voice down because i'm trying to sleep and they didn't. My reply would be a swift fist to the face. In valves case it was a swift ban. Actions have consequences and he chose his action and valve chose the consequence.

I would argue that deliberately or carelessly keeping someone awake is causing suffering, and that causing suffering is unethical; I'm not saying it's an ethical atrocity, but I am making the case that your example is indeed (though likely only slightly) unethical-- insignificantly so, and an unlikely description to be ascribed, except in unlikely scenarios like this one

Feel like the tempering issue could be resolved by just letting us roll more then 6 times or least guarantee one instance of each roll in group you picked. I hate spending 5 rolls get one thing then the other options only has 2 rolls and both miss. We need to be able to at least roll any stat once on both options. After that you can gamble or brick your item if you so choose.

The largest problem in the game right now is 3 GA items with perfect stats for what your build can get bricked because you didn’t hit (insert “spell name” here) size. Or vulnerable damage. Or for my barb personally. I didn’t hit flat duration on my two handed weapon. So now. I’m genuinely using a base 925 because it’s literally better.

Edit: how is making something stack, hard to implement? It’s in the game already.

What a weird thing to have as a major problem. If things cant fail, how can it ever feel good to succeed? What does that even mean if you couldnt fail to begin with? Doubt I will ever get to play a D4 thats good in my eyes. Oh well, cant be the target audience for everything, hope you guys are having fun ^^

Easy fix for bricking in D4. Allow players to pay an extremely high cost e.g. 50M + loads of materials, for an extra roll with NO limit to the number of extra rolls (other than your ability to pay for them). It’s SUCH an obvious thing to do.

for me, this game still suck!
