Agree, The time required to gather resources used to be just right, now it takes too long.
But I think they did the right thing in removing the wait time.
It happened to me every time.
I love changing the build I think it is important and it is very important to give players the possibility to do it without having to grind too much.
I agree that I don’t like this way of implementing RNG.
I have a lot to say about the new embers, I talked about them here: The RNG Problem, Enchantment System & Gem System “TOGETHER” (Update)
I agree, they barely improve the situation but they don’t solve anything.
The fact that this very negative experience is still in the game, a problem that has been reported since the beginning is really disturbing.
It would be enough to make it so that if you enchant Eleonor once it gives you a blue item and then if you enchant the blue item a second time it resets all the effects and becomes purple.
This is not a rare experience, it happens to everyone and if it were fixed the game would become much better.
(Embers are a work around not a solution)
Same, I also talk about this in the topic I linked before.
