[ Idea ] Gear Attunement System (Target Farming)

After floating around various player groups on Twitch and Discord i have noticed a common theme around the RNG nature of the loot system. Many players (myself included) find it to not be very exciting, as any chest and any enemy drop can basically drop the same random stuff. This in turn makes searching for chests in general less exciting.

Here’s my idea on how to counteract this feeling.

Attunement NPC

This NPC allows the player to select specific pieces of gear and up to 2 enchantments per piece of gear.
Each attunement level increases the drop rate for said gear and the attuned enchantments.
The player will be able to enhance the power of the attunement by sacrificing gear with the desired enchantments at the vendor.

Attuned Chests

These chests will always contain at least one piece of gear which the player selected at the Attunement NPC . The attuned enchantments are guaranteed and instead their power level is boosted by the attunement level.
Attuned chests are visually distinct and can only spawn in hidden away / hard to reach spots.

Note: This is just a rough sketch but i think it could alleviate some of the concerns which i’ve heard many people voice. Let me know what you think and make sure to leave a Vote if you like the idea.

From what they have said about the new modes that will be coming to the crucible, that may alleviate the issue that you and others are having. Especially the endless horde mode. What they may need to implement at that point as will is a loot filter for the items that enchantment that you want.

It would be great to have a look filter now, actually, but understand why that might not be a priority at the moment.

I don’t think that solves the issue of exploration not feeling very rewarding. A loot filter would be nice but it would also be something you don’t really have to work for.
