Diablo® III

Set items+ legendary item drop rate is inadequate

CHANGE THE DAMN DROP RATE!!!!

NO!
Not in a million years. Better yet, make them even more rare.
The thing that must be done is to make legendaries more useful, and make more of them, a lot more like in D2.
Having 3 out of 10 normal blue items being better than a legendary you find is just utter crap and takes away all the thrill of finding even one in the first place. It is just plain stupid that everything you look for in a weapon is just DPS DPS DPS... That's why it's so common that blue and yellow items outclass the legendaries by so far.

I read this thread and all I can say is "WHAT A BUNCH OF NOOBS" for one finding a legendary isn't actually that hard, stack your magic find and kill some elites and rares.. play with 4 people in your group, oh yeah I almost forgot .. YOU CAN CRAFT THEM >< ffs do some homework and get a lvl 60 and grind inferno.

The drop rate is not bad, the legendary items are.

That is the problem.

(Yes I have 60 hours on my monk and not found a single legendary or set item - and not complaining about the rate.)

Just a matter of luck guys I have been playing since launch with my friend and we have seen 4 legendary's drop ... only one of them was a high lvl but ... ya just a matter of patience. Drailgonis got it right we go our best legendary from stacking mf and farming azmodan in hell just for kicks .... if you to lazy to do the research dont come !@#$% on the forums

All you whiners go back to wow...come back and complain if you have to farm months for a item.

You never have played d2, drop rate should not ever change because it does not drop in a week.

This is not !@#$ty world of Warcraft where everything is welfare.

I'm pretty sure all of you, who think we're whining, have gotten legendary drops or a set item. Of course the game doesn't feel bad for you.

My monk never found an upgrade since Nightmare Act I to Hell Act II. It's pretty boring to play through the game without any sense of progression apart from the scenery. It wouldn't matter to me unless the game was so heavily based on gear instead of skill. Before you complain nonono, it's true. I grouped with two monks with awesome gear compared to mine, they would faceroll over enemies I struggled with for a minute. Yet when faced with tough elites, I was the only one left standing while they kept on dying again and again.

i do have a problem with legendarys and set items atm and that is.

ive played 160hours+30hours and ive found 0 legendarys

my brother has played 15hours he has found 4 sofar

note i have 235%i mf with NV buff

and i agree when u find a legendary it should be a item that u will use not something thats out shined by a blue item the only Blue items i remember from Diablo2 that were good were 6sock CCBOQ

and just seeing items like Windfroce, Azurewrath being outshined by blue items and not just alittle bit but HUGELY feels kinda sad

Hope blizzard will do something

Well, if you don't remember, the same thing was with d2 when it came out, legendaries and set's weren't dropping much, and there were no runes or item properties like procs. So they increased drop rates in new patches and made expansion with a bunch of new stuff, and they'll hopefuly do the same with d3.

It's legendarys, it is supposed to be hard to get.

If they buff the rate i will stop playing, whats the point in farming and playing if everyone is running around in the best weapon and gear ?

You guys could go back to wow that think it's hard to get items.
This game should be more hardcore than it is...

Many of my friends have already stopped playing because it have to much bugs and the item sucks, blues are better than legendarys etc etc.

Nerf blues buff legendarys and make it more rare.!!!!!!

You guys dont mind the problem, D3 its not a WoW, its a D2 squel. I never played WoW, im D2 player since 12 years, and in normal dificulty i had full sets and uniques. Now im with my DH on hell and drop is just terrible. Boring, weak and useless items all around. I can only buy items on AH, is this a Diablo3 or Diablo Market 3? I want to find uniques, sets, not to buy them. Game is boring after 2 weeks, it supose to be next 10 year game? I think not. D2 owns D3 badlly. Sry, for any mistakes, im not native english speaker. Drop is wrong, AH is a major problem, because developers want to earn money by selling us items, not allowing to find them.

The drops should be increased A LOT.

I don't care what you WoW players are saying, I spent maybe thousands of hours playing D2 LoD and like someone said before - when it comes to items and skills, D3 sucks sooo badly compared to its sibling.

There's not enough set/legendary items and there's not enough gold in the game. However, "kind" Blizzard gave us Auction House, so we can buy boss-drops for real money. That's ridiculous.

And if you're saying I don't need legendaries because magic items are way better - how is that s'posed to make me feel better? I want to advance in the game to get some reward, not to continuously change weapons for a better and better blue ones, I advance because I want to equip myself with truly legendary equipment. Just like I could in D2 - THAT was a reward!

Everyone seems to miss something rather essential:

YOU HAVE THE BLACKSMITH THAT CAN PROVIDE RARE ITEMS WITH RANDOM PROPERTIES!!!

Have you seen that in D2? And do not tell me about the gambling part in D2, cause for that you needed tones of gold ...


like you dont need tones of gold AND mats to craft those items.... ad being a barb for example you keep getting int stats.... ya....
