Legendary items in Diablo III is a curious thing in that they're not that Legendary. I think they developers have explained why these items can be such crap, compared to the more common Rare items, but their reasons, to be honest, are just idiotic.
Legendary items are supposed to be LEGENDARY. Meaning, when you get them, you freak out, gurgle a bit, convulse for a minute or so, then run round and round the room like a crazy person, just like winning the lottery.
Legendary items that are crap=NOT fun.
Legendary items that are awesome=FUN.
I think that's the only bottom line for any game of this sort. It's a game. You're supposed to have FUN. Never mind all the other reasons and statistics and probabilities and all that crap. Always always the bottom line: IT SHOULD BE FUN.
At any rate, the developers have said that they will be upgrading Legendary drops in a future patch. I certainly hope so! Because imagine my thrill upon seeing this Legendary item drop, only to find out that I couldn't use it because it was just too weak.
And look at that...I'm at Level 33, and this is a Level 26 item. I mean come on! The weapon I have at this time already has something like 70+DPS. And you give me this...41.8 DPS?
Madness.
I tried selling this thing at the Gold Auction house for cheap and nobody's buying. Figures! Who'd want this crap?
Legendaries (newly dropped ones) are supposed to get buffed on one of the next patches. For now, trash legends are going straight to the magbobote (20petot isang tumpok >.< It's too bad that only 59-60 legends yields FIERY BRIMSTONE when salvaged, which is a cool 200k each.)
ReplyDeleteCool! I didn't know that. I haven't had any Legendaries drop for me while playing my Level 60 yet.
ReplyDeleteI've got about 8 legendary ones since I started playing, 3 of those came from random chests before they nerfed everything T_T
