What's the point of recombinator?

If you try to combine two really good high tier affixes you get something like 2.7%. (Plus gambling 4 new affixes after that can be garbo)

If you try to combine two okish good affixes (Like ES and ES% on body) you have like 27% (Which after like 5 attempts, 0 succeeded)

I am genuinely confused as to what exactly is the point of such a tool? To take really mid perks and combine them? You ll still have to gamble the other 4 traits which might be pure garbage

Is it meant to be some early level system where you combine 3-4 really weak low tier traits for your build? You dont get expedition currency till mapping and by that time you likely got better items than that.


So i am confused as to what the point is here? Because to me it sounded like an excellent way to at least try get 2 rly good traits on your item that fit your build and its extremely unlikely you ll build some perfect 6/6 affix roll

So i was hoping for example it could be used to have a decent chance to guarantee two good traits, but it doesnt even do that with such low %

they heard that we didnt want the entire crafting system to be gambling so they added more gambling to the crafting system.
I am confused wwho is the game balanced for?

Because if for players who play merchant doing nothing else but flipping materials and sitting all day in the hideout browsing tradelist it can be "balanced"

But those who play SSF you just
- grind items for a good ilvl
- throw currencies to get good stats
- do it twice
- discover recombinator and start grinding expedition sites that drops like 3-6 currencies
- so absolute best case scenario you need like 5 expedition, worse case scenario more like 20
- to do that you need maps with events or towers and tablets

Even if it would be a guaranteed combination it would be just too much time investment, but at least it would be a good reward for your effort.

Because not sure whats the intended way to get item upgrade if you stuck in a certain map tier.
The expedition traders only sell ilvl65 items

Delirium needs high tier distills, and you can reforge them, have fun grinding out literally thousands of Ire-s



I get that endgame items should come with a chance.
I think ilvl84 is the highest you get so lets assume you want BiS recombination. Ok... that's fair to have chance.

But a player who just went mapping and trying to get gear to push to mid - endgame
what option do you actually have?

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?
To make you suffer just like everything else in this game
To destroy your items, force you to play to find more, and gamble again.
To fill your stash with bases so that you'd need to buy more space from the shop.
don't forget the recombined item is always made Rare so Essences become worthless!

Obviously, no, and we see it right now. Now we can be sure that most players don't like RNG and won't play this game.

Lol. That has nothing to do with RNG.
When you learn programming and come around the RNG stuff, you learn to add some spice bc RNG != RNG or random is not so random.
They could have added as example, after 5 times you got 0, next result will be 1.
Simple as going.
