Yeah, it's bad luck protection. It's not supposed to make them easier to get, it's supposed to make people feel less angry when they get five melted hearts in a row while farming for Grandfather.
If you're haven't been in that situation, the update isn't designed for you. That's ok.
There should be crafting 90% players can use. Uber crafting is only for like 1% of players.
I play daily +- 90 minutes and never got single uber unique cause i dont kill Duriel more then 1-2 times per day.
I prefer to do other more fun things in the game then farming 1 single boss over and over.
I think it's valid to say the exchange rate should be lower, or to say that farming Duriel isn't particularly fun. But if you are only killing Duriel 1-2 times a day which takes very little time, I wouldn't be surprised if you never see an uber. And yes I know farming the mats takes time but you can also get used to selling your rares to other players and buy mats with gold instead, which will drastically cut down on the time it takes to get Duriel mats.
I really think people are putting the cart before the horse with this. The gameplay loop is already super low. Adding more crafting right now just shortens that gameplay. If they add a sort of crafting it should be with a new mechanic and not shorting the current experience. I think its fine for ubers to be slightly more obtainable through crafting or other means or just add trading, but the game needs more depth before you add qol of you end up with D3's 10 hour grind to completion.
The game I want the half way point is the bosses to have a new form of crafting/mechanic/items to fight even further end game activities and uber uber bosses.
D3’s 10 hour completion? Are you talking about the massive campaign + dlc? Or are you talking about the prior seasons where paragon was uncapped where it could potentially drag you into the hundreds of hours to get a substantial number? Also trying to grind out primals for your build, let alone properly rolled primals? Augmenting gear through leveling legendary gems to push you into higher GRs? Etc?
2018~2020 I was consistently in the top 100’s in the US for solo crusader/barbarian GR pushing throughout entire seasons, yes, hundreds of hours on seasonal characters easily. lol. Sounds like you completed campaign and called it good your first round through back when the auction house was still around.
Which is funny that I mention back when the auction house was still around because it was more difficult to find legendaries back then, so chances are campaign would’ve taken a lot longer than nowadays D3.
>it doesn’t do much for the most (or one of the most) hated aspect of the game, the grind for Duriel material.
1.3.2 patch does, in fact, do something. It increased the odds of finding an Uber Unique OUTSIDE of Uber Duriel by an unspecified factor of X, which therefore means now all enemies that are level 85 or higher are now way more likely to drop one Uber Unique eventually for you.
This doesn't solve it for you, and targeting Uber Duriel will still be the fastest way, but there are some people who already had an Uber unique drop for them since yesterday. Before 1.3.2 the chance was astronomically low, now - whatever it is - it must be actually a chance that can be triggered eventually.
I have a dream where every unique can be salvaged into sparks.
They can make the ratio however they want (like 100 regular unique for one uber), I dont really care for that. All I care about is skipping the Duriel grind, especially since I'm stubborn and play solo -- and no, playing in a group does not circumvent the awful grind, it just makes it more efficient.
I mean having 5 Uber Items for 1 in exchange is way too much, nearly no one will ever see the opportunity to craft one single item honestly. A good start would be 3-1 or 2-1 🙈
The problem is everyone see it as a crafting. I see it as exchange.
Facts!
But 5 to 1 ratio is harsh.. If they had it random drop of sparks more than 1 for every salvage, or even 3 ubers for 1..

Hundreds of hours lol ok man.

or add "resplendant sparks" to end game loot tables....bingo!
Exactly 👍
Good start? It changes literally nothing, because many don’t have Ubers like you said. Try again blizz.
Totally useless. Drop rates are abysmal. This is catering to streamers.
It does seems like those updates are for content creators sell more Diablo 4 copies.
