Hi guys,
a question out of curiosity (but also a practical one): When does the game determine the item that was dropped? In the moment of the drop and not in the instance of identification, right?
Particular case:
Yesterday TZ Diablo dropped an unique scared armor, thus this could be either Tyrael's Might or Templar's Might (we know the odds...). I found the latter once, BEFORE the introduction of the chronicle. Thus, the item I found yesterday is (still unidentified) labelled as "Identify for chronicle"...
Now to my real question: What would happen if I would show this item to a player who already found and identified Templar's? Could he then determine whether this is actually Templar's again (the "Identify for chronicle" text would be gone) or Tyrael's (the text would be there)?

If you show this item to someone that was not in the same game and same group with you when it dropped, then they would see no extra green text at all.
If however, that person happened to be in the same group with you when this dropped, then there are two possibilities regarding Tyreal's Might:
1) They already had Templar's Might in their Chronicle, then they wouldn't see any green text either. This enables them to "know" this is not Tyreal's Might.
2) If they already had Templar's Might in their Chronicle, and they still see the green text of "eligible for Chronicle", then they would know it is indeed Tyreal's Might.
The above only works if the Chronicle record behaves as intended, i.e., not bugged, ofc......

If the other player wasn't in the game where it dropped he won't get the "Identify for chronicle" text even if he identified Templar's or Tyrael's.rockstrongo wrote: 2 months agoNow to my real question: What would happen if I would show this item to a player who already found and identified Templar's?

Thanks for your answers. A pity I found it in a solo game...

Bisu is correct.
In general, items are rolled directly when they drop and not when they get identified.
If it were otherwise, you could make a saved game on single player, ID it and if you don't like the rolls, you could just load your saved game over and over again until you are satisfied.

Funnily enough, this is exactly how Divine Divinity worked back in the day. It rolled stats upon identification, not the drop of the object. I used to target farm a specific set piece and then reload the game until it got the affixes I was looking for.
DD played and looked rather similar to D2, in general. Of course a bit lower budget and I think a bit older as well.
