Blizzard surprises "Diablo 4" fans with update
Good news for all "Diablo 4" fans! Blizzard has released an update that doubles the drop rates for the Echo of Duriel from Uber Uniques for a limited time. This comes after a previous update that increased the guaranteed Lost Heirloom drops from Frigid Husks and significantly boosted the rewards from Blighted Fragments and Lost Heirloom in Midwinter Nightmare Spoils Caches.
The new hotfix version 1.2.3a allows players to enjoy double drop rates for Uber Uniques from the boss Echo of Duriel in "Diablo 4 Season 2" until January 8. But that's not all - there are also adjustments to the invincible buff through Metamorphosis that will surely interest some players.
Details on the new "Diablo 4" Hotfix Update 1.2.3a
With the new update, Blizzard has also changed the duration of the invincible buff that players receive through Metamorphosis. Instead of scaling with the vampiric power level, the duration is now limited to a fixed rate of 2.5 seconds - regardless of the player's level. Additionally, there is a slight increase in damage.
Main points of the new Hotfix Update 1.2.3a:
- Drop rates for Uber Uniques from Echo of Duriel are doubled until January 8th
- Adjustment of the duration of invincibility through Metamorphosis - fixed rate of 2.5 seconds instead of scaling with the vampiric power level
- Damage increase from 80%/120%/160% to 110%/180%/250%
The player reactions to these changes are mixed. Some expressed criticism, stating that the changes come too late and that they no longer want to "bother" the boss, as the items will be "useless" in a few weeks. However, others are looking forward to diving back into the game and taking advantage of the improved drop rates.
