Glyph of despair suggestions

Hello, I have three problems with glyph of despair.

  1. Glyph of despair should display the probability of success.

This way you can decide whether you want to try it or not, versus a glyph of removal for instance. Additionaly, I more than once thought that the glyph would 100% succeed and ended up being surprised and confused.

  1. Glyph of despair should seal affixes one tier higher.

We are trying to upgrade the affixe so why is it not upgraded upon success? This change will also help exalted items to compete against legendaries.
[Edit : As LLAMA8 sait we are NOT trying to upgrade the affix, but this would still help exalted items to compete against legendaries.]

  1. Critical successes with glyph of despair are critical failures.

Upon critical success, glyph of despair should seal the affix two tiers higher instead of improving its tier by two (or improving a random other affixe).

In general, improving a random affix when you are trying toi upgrade an affix is NOT always good. First, it makes the glyph of despair less likely to succeed for the randomly upgraded affix. Second, it gives you fewer chances to reroll the affix using a glyph of chaos (and makes it more expensive in terms of forging potential). Finally, it may make transfering a T7 from one affix to another (using a rune of havoc) more difficult as this is more likely to happen when all the non-T7 tiers of the item are equal.

I disagree with this premis, if you’re trying to upgrade an affix then you use the glyph of hope. The only reason to use the glyph of despair is to seal an affix. Though I kinda agree with the second sentence.

I agree with #3, the outcome of a critical success is backwards for the glyph of despair, though im not sure I’d go as far as to say that it should seal an affix 2 tiers higher, 1 perhaps, or maybe it refunds the FP or something. :person_shrugging:t3:

Task failed successfully!
Critical screw-you Traveler!

After all the feedback about how stupid this thing is for Glyph of Despair, don’t think EHG even acknowledged it or said anything about it.
