"Diablo 4" players are increasingly disappointed with the tempering mechanism in the game and are calling on Blizzard to optimize the mechanism in subsequent updates."Diablo 4", which uses real-time services and season mode, always maintains an adjustment rhythm, so the tempering mechanism may indeed be improved in the future.
The fourth season of "Diablo 4" has significantly improved the game experience through the reconstruction of the gameplay and loot system.The tempering mechanism was the core content added at that time - it allowed players to attach special entries to equipment through the blacksmith.However, as time goes by, this mechanism has been regarded as a burden by players because of its cumbersome operation.
The original intention of the tempering mechanism is to allow players to customize their equipment more independently to make it more suitable for specific genres.However, in actual operation, its randomness setting caused a lot of controversy, and some players even called it "the worst design."The experience of Reddit user stormalong128 is typical: when he used natural formula to temper equipment, he obtained the "Barrier Generation" entry 5 times in a row, and finally ended up with the "Thorns" attribute.This shows the uncontrollability of the tempering mechanism and makes players very frustrated.
Many people complained about bad luck, and others complained about the reset limit and the forced use of scrolls.Overall, this mechanism has been criticized for relying too much on random number generation and being prone to duplicate entries.What's more serious is that each piece of equipment has an upper limit on the number of times it can be tempered, and if it has useless attributes for the last time, it cannot be undone.This sense of loss of control has led players to strongly recommend that Blizzard add a "protection mechanism" or "undo function" to allow backtracking of skipped entries.
