White Items not Utilized(1)Category: GeneralJune-20-2013 8:09 PM PDT (10 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
Blizzard,

White items shouldn't be junk. It will be really nice and exciting if you could add a side quest that will allow us to enchant a white item with 6 random properties.

Currently balanced white weapons have insane attack speed and just the idea of making a godly balanced weapon is thrilling.

Remember, it's the HOPE of finding/crafting good items is what makes us excited about playing and addicted, the HOPE

Please give us hope since legendaries currently give us no hope because they are almost always junk.

Thank you

We totally agree that white items needs to be useful or interesting in some way, because there are no real reason to have them in the game if they are not... making them some type of base items for heavy random properties enchants is an interesting idea for sure. Nothing have been set in stone yet however, so we are definitely interested in hearing more from you guys about what you think would make white items more interesting.

In case you are interested, Wyatt Cheng recently shared his thoughts on the topic of white items in Diablo III.

If we can't use whites and blues for anything, then why can't we get a setting to disable them, so they don't clutter the screen?


ANSWER THIS!!!!!

You know that the Caps Lock button is evil right? It does evil things to people!

Anyways, back on topic, Wyatt Cheng has answered this question, which you can see if you follow the developer interview link that I posted in my previous post:
I know that there's a really popular request to hide white items, and blue items even. I think that that's a totally understandable request. It's not really something that we want to do. What we'd rather do is get to the root of the problem.

great, so the developer has decided it is much better for us to suffer this problem for months and months instead of giving us a temporary fix.... awesome mentality, just awesome....

I would personally think that focusing on fixing the problem instead fixing the symptoms of the problem in general is an awesome mentality, but that is of course just my opinion.

If you are truly suffering from playing the game in its current state, then maybe you would feel better if you simply took a break for a little while and focused on something else. I totally understand that waiting sucks, In fact I hate having to wait on things myself, but knowing that the passage of time can feel faster simply by changing your focus to something else really helps in these cases... After all, a watched pot never boils

and maybe i would have read the interview if it was on these forums?
why is it we have to go to all these other sites to gather information about diablo 3 instead of the d3 forums ?

The Diablo III community is very large and widespread, and many Diablo III players prefer to visit thrid party sites instead of our forums to talk about our games. Although we generally post new information on our blogs and forums, our developers like to also reach out to the game's community outside of these forums. For the record. we did actually link to these developer interviews on our blog here on battle.net.
