If that mats issue makes it live, would make seasonal SO much easier.

The points are lacking. With the point about Ancient weapons, its not that ancients being rare is a problem, its that the amount of stats in the game is overtly convoluted. We have TOO many stats that either does the exact same thing as another stat (Vitality and +%life, Life on hit and Life per second, Life on kill and extra regen from healing orbs), OR are just so far above and beyond other stats that there is no alternative to not having it (Elemental/Elite +% damage, +% weapon damage being the biggest ones, but crit chance+crit damage being another). Thus, it turns what could have been decent gearing choices/decisions into a BiS numbers thing, where you either HAVE to have all the right stats, or the item is complete trash. And given that theres around 5 commonly found "mandatory" stats (Str/Dex/Int, crit chance, crit damage, socket, +damage of all forms) makes gearing both simple (Have these stats, trash if otherwise), and stupidly complex (Have to calculate breakpoints, ect). The fact that most stats roll with a 50% range (500-750 of a stat) is also bad, further decreasing the chances of getting a GOOD item when you actually get the item you are looking for. Consolidating/merging most of the stats, AND narrowing the potential stat roll range would significantly help with gearing.
The points about legendaries are also moot. You could give EVERY legendary in the game stupidly OP powers, and the ONLY thing it would do would force people into the next most efficient build. As it stands, set bonuses are just TOO good to pass up, leaving people with only a very few slots. The addition of Focus and Restraint was HORRIBLE. Yes, for a number of classes, it DID break the RoRG+2 sets builds that were fairly common, but all it did was REPLACE said builds with a 6 piece+focus/restraint build, leaving only the belt, bracers, amulet, weapon and off-hand items left. Hell, at least with RoRG, we had a choice of what secondary set to use. 125% extra damage can't be passed up. If one wants to bring MORE legendary affixes into the game, then one needs to find a way to have the legendary affixes SEPERATED from gear. Perhaps a method where, after getting a certain amount of xp with a legendary piece equipped, it gets "saved" onto your character, and you can then keep a select few legendary affixes permanently (Which WOULD create a good amount of build variety. As an example, you would get Demon Hunters getting Kridershot's legendary effect, and then swapping out their weapon to, say, Calamity, or vice versa, or even grabbing both and using a 3rd legendary weapon, like the piercing bolts xbow, at the cost of not being able to grab, say, the town portal shoulder affix (Would be very useful as a damage reduction CD on high Grifts), or Thunderfury's affix, ect.

Ancient items, period, create a big problem in the loot system. Diablo 3 gear already has too much RNG - Did you get the piece you needed, did the piece itself have good stats/amounts on it, and then they up and added Ancient. Previously, getting the "needed" piece from any legendary drop is something like a .1%, getting a "good" needed piece is something like a .01% chance from any legendary drop, and perfect, .001% chance to drop. With Ancient, its even worse. Blizz needs to curtail some of the more useless stats (+life%, specific resistances, +gold/health globe pickup, among many others), and reduce the possible stat range to, say, 10% difference, rather then the current 50% difference. Only then would Ancient items have been a good addition to the loot roll, instead of just adding another layer of useless RNG to looting.

Huh. It only took them this long to start implementing Micro-transactions for their more single-player games.
Wonder how long it'll be till Starcraft has cosmetic micro-transactions?

Apr 4, 2014Okakeri posted a message on The Big RoS Number Crunch, How the Rift Buff Works, Legendary Mats Drop Buff Coming, Frozen Time, Bounty Split Farming GuideSo Torment monster HP increases by roughly 60% per difficulty jump, and monster damage increases roughly by 45% per difficulty jump (Thus, when going up torments, you need 60% more damage and 45% more toughness to graduate to the next difficulty).Posted in: News
According to the chart though, Legendary Drop rate does NOT increase at the same rate. That is, the legendary drop rate going from T1-T2 is greater relatively then going from t5-t6., t4-5, and t3-4. Of course, this may be due to its "speculated" increase, as the leg drop increased isn't confirmed beyond 15% increases. Gold/XP bonus is the opposite though, so you lvl/get more gold as you go up torment lvls compared to the previous increase.
That is to say, the amount of legendaries gained per monster health increased DECREASES as you go up torment lvls (The monsters gain more health relative to the legendary drop rate increase), and the amount of gold/xp bonus per monster health increase INCREASES as you go up torment lvls (The mosnters gain less health relative to gold/xp bonus), although the gold/xp bonus is not as large as the health jump (30-50% instead of 60%+ increases).
Increase of Death's Breath droprate is linear, 20% straight up.
Key drop rate is wonky, between 13-17% increase per torment increase with no real pattern.
So Ima say that the leg. drop rate increase going up torment lvls is either wrong, OR blizzard needs to significantly buff the drop rates as you go up torment lvls. -

So whenever you feel comfortable, just up the difficulty until you aren't downing things as fast as you want.
