Blizzard Reverses Key Diablo IV Mythic Limits After Player Backlash

Restoring player access to multiple Mythic Uniques, the update commits Blizzard to further tuning next week.

An emergency Diablo 4 update makes the Mythic changes we all wanted last week

Overview

  • Blizzard deployed an emergency hotfix (Patch 3.1.1a / Update 1.114) on July 17 that raises Mythic and Iconic drop rates from the Corrupted Reaper and removes the one-crafted-Mythic equip restriction.
  • The patch also fixed unintended Horadric Cube interactions by removing the ability to add the Mythic modifier to Unique Charms and Seals, which developers said was not intended for Season 14.
  • Players reported a marked increase in Mythic yields after the hotfix, with many saying Mythic items are appearing far more often from the seasonal boss and that crafted Mythics can now be used together.
  • Blizzard said it will follow with a second patch next week to add Superior Lair Keys to the Glints of Hope repeatable cache and to raise Mythic Tribute drop rates in the Kurast Undercity.
  • The studio framed Season 14 as experimental and acknowledged design misses, saying it will continue to listen to feedback and may reintroduce a Cube-specific crafted limit only for Season 15 if needed.
