Wouldn’t that be nice? I think everyone would love that change.
I would love that change. I’ve gotten quite a few legendaries the past few days, none of which have been any use.
Crafting items seems pointless as there is never any guarantee they’ll be any good, and I only have 1m gold.
Got a ring of Jordan with +Physical damage, which is a shame since I do not deal such and cant afford to re-roll it.

it’s just another form of mudflation. you would be essentially creating items that didn’t come with just 6 affixes but 7. Not even legendaries with special powers like thunder fury have 7 affixes. one might be able to call it a 6.5 :)
So replace one of the existing ones, that’s all. No biggie. Unless gems are rebalanced, every weapon needs a socket.
Exactly. It’s the one absolute must have affix that everyone rerolls at the mystic if it’s not there to begin with. So put it there to begin with.

i’ve never had a problem rerolling a socket in to a weapon. it costs some money but the only use for money at the end game is in upgrading your gems - which is a one time charge, as you’ll never lose those gems you’ve upgraded - and enchanting items.
it’s a hands-on progression RNG quest. I too hate getting a ton of shit legendaries. I’d prefer if they had more tiers to the loot table. Yellow and then Legendary (orange/green) is just too short of a jump. Legendary should be… LEGENDARY - and a lot of them are not. and no I’m not even including blues…
maybe if they put in purple again.
Indeed, but if a dropped weapon doesn’t have both your primary stat and a socket to start off, you can only re-roll one of them. This makes a lot of weapons garbage.
It’s not a problem on other items. If they don’t have your primary stat, you reroll to it and they’re merely likely sub-optimal. But weapons absolutely require two affixes, your primary stat and a socket.
Plus, even if it has the main stat but no socket it’s basically the same as if the item DID have a socket, but you weren’t allowed to reroll anything. Well, that and a fee for use.
With the doubled legendary chance, I just ran 5 T3 rifts for a grand total of 2 (useless) legendary items.
This doubled loot week is mostly making me more aware of how shitty the base drop rates are, and how vulnerable the system is to bad RNG streaks.
Wonder if the player rate will drop once the week is over, considering we’ll be back to shitty drop rate and shitty rolls :)
I expect it will. I’m not sure I can keep playing when I look at getting zero upgrades and only a couple sidegrades after playing a week with doubled loot. I did get a lot of recipes…

Yeah, I think I’m done. The magic has worn off and there are other RNG machines I’d rather be rolling. Wildstar ho!

that’s what I’ve been seeing a ton of recipes. containing virtually no upgrades there either. and even if they did, I’d have to craft an item multiple times in hopes of getting the correct one.
After this special week I’ll most likely move over to Hardcore when I feel like playing.
They’ll be releasing 2.1 “soon”, which includes ladders with ladder-specific legendary loot, gems, etc. 2.1 will also bring tiered rifts.

I don’t really get the crafting complaints. The drop rates used to be ridiculous, but it’s rare now that the mob dies without dropping a mat. You can actually guarantee a decent item with (really, at most) a few hours work or less if you’re lucky. Compared to the ridiculousness of the rest of the RNG grind, this is pretty great.
Anyway, I’m tired of banging my head against the T4 progression wall, so I’m probably taking a break until the next major update.
Okay, I think I’m officially done with the game. I have spent all my rift tokens over the past week. Still no Kridershot or Buriza. I did manage to get all of my Marauder’s Set with crappy boots. But it did allow me to run the Sentry build which is really crazy as I just go around planting them and just running around a bit to avoid getting hit. I could keep playing but just don’t see the point. Would like to try HC but I have a shitty ISP and I don’t trust Blizz with their server issues that pop up seemingly every month. It was fun while it lasted.
Also does anyone feel the nerf the leg buff after the patch. Before I was getting at least one or two legs out of each rift and sometimes 3 or 4. Never went more than I think two rifts without a leg. Post-patch I was hitting cold streaks of 5 rifts two or three times. And multiple times it was 2 or 3 without a leg. Without the buff or seemingly without the buff it really is unrewarding as you’re getting nothing for your effort and when you do it’s 99% going to be something you shard anyways.
Good news, everyone! The buffed legendary rate is the new normal. Not really surprised because they’d have shed players if they dropped it back down to the old levels.
Great! I agree, there’s no way I would have continued playing. Still may not, but at least there’s a chance.
Wow! I was hoping this would happen but thought the odds were quite low. I’m glad to be proven wrong!
