I wonder if the whole "you can slap an aspect on any legendary" does more harm than good for the purposes of endgame farming. When you see [Diadem] drop in D2, it feels like an event. You get an amazing unique that will either make you rich or make you OP for the rest of a ladder season. But in D4 this usually means a bunch of item shuffling/comparing/upgrading just to maintain all your running aspects, while making sure you have a spare high-rolled aspect on hand that doesn't totally negate the DPS increase of the upgrade. Uniques are kinda meant to supplant this role, but right now, most are pretty unremarkable or have effects barely distinguishable from legendaries while being fairly rare themselves. So there's a lot of fiddling around required to make upgrades actual upgrades without breaking some part of your setup.

Legendaries aren't exactly analogous to uniques in D2, and are more like an additive/replacement for more skill points in D4, and that seems fine to me.

What the game needs is more uniques that go above and beyond legendaries and start enabling weird/overpowered builds in the way that runewords did in D2.

If you are only itemizing for ilevel sure, my gear is properly stated for pushing NM tier 95+ and fighting Uber Lilith. The fact you are saying trash itemization without even knowing my itemization is lol. All you have access to is item level which isn't the whole picture dumb dumb. It's like in WoW where a properly itemized 350 will out dps the piss out of a poorly itemized 360 ilevel character. But hey, baby's first vidya game.

You seem like you played Diablo 2 for ten years and expected to do that here but also the game has only been out for two weeks. Just move on my dude, you've had your fill. Come back if the S1 features look cool or the first big QoL patch hits.

6/10. Go do a vanilla run of the 40k Diablo clone or something. You've literally forgotten what even an average game is let alone a bad one.

Runewords being a series of conditional effects you could program in yourself was a genuinely great idea for D4, I'm sad they took it out.

He thinks the game is in rough shape because he followed a broken rear end build that needed multiple nerfs for exploits, ran the same dungeon 100+ times, and basically rushed to 100 without even bothering with good itemization because it wasn't needed for the broken rear end twitch streamer sponsored build and has the nerve to say the game is rough lmfao.

I’m level 46 and just found an item with the trampled earth aspect. Clearly this aspect rules, but it’s on a pair of lovely gloves. When I extract it, I can only put it on one piece of gear and it’s stuck forever, right?

But since I’m level 46, I may as well just use it since it’s stuck at its current level (req level 38), right?

I know, I wish they'd have kept it in. In addition to what's already in D4, I'd really love a loot system a la D2 runewords, where you can keep building toward a god-tier item by collecting a bunch of macguffins.

If it does a damage amount, yeah - might as well use it asap.

If it's a % chance to do something - it won't matter what level you use it at

Either way, you only get to imprint things once, though.

I get the complaints. Its certainly no PoE in replayability and endgame progression and I think LE is a better ARPG as well, thanks to way deeper build variety, even if LE is also lacking in endgame systems.

It however looks and sounds great and its fresh and new and thats a quality and fun by itself. It has time to sort itself out and get new systems into play, unless the suits decide to kill any support, but that's a very different kind of problem.

Right now I've dusted off my old PS4 controller and I'm gonna play an ARPG with a controller for the first time, probably a rogue.

I don’t think the item tooltips on that site actually show the item you have equipped. It seems to be pulling from a database of what the item was when it dropped and not what it looks like after you’ve slapped an aspect on it and rerolled an affix.

You should be using Royal Topaz in all your armor though.
