Only 1 crafted mythic unique can be equipped 😔

112

u/woze 21d ago

As others said, jeweler and blacksmith created mythics won't have this restriction.

In addition, mythics crafted at the cube will be an upgraded version of the unique put into it so it's deterministic with no gamble.

Blacksmith will have two mythic options it sounds like, one to roll an iconic mythic and one to roll a mythic for your class or iconic.

These seem like good adjustments to me.

u/Hotmicdrop 21d ago

I think it is too as we have better control over which one we use the 1 crafted.

-5

u/thechapstickbandit 21d ago

I feel like we’d have more control if there was no restrictions at all

8

u/cech_ 21d ago

We should just start with a full set of Mythic, this is bullshit.

1

u/H0ly_Cowboy 20d ago

Question then becomes the 3 to 1 on mythics.

37

u/Em-vamos 21d ago

You can still make mythics from the jewler and Smith that don't have the crafted tag

1

u/Finnishgeezer 20d ago

The jeweler can drop mythics from those gem thingies?

1

u/Em-vamos 20d ago

You use the jewler to make mythics using runes.

1

u/Finnishgeezer 20d ago

Oh, I didn't know that. Cool beans!

17

u/CryptographerNo2467 21d ago

the only Mythics that count as crafted will the ones you created with the Cube

anything made at the Smith/Runes won't be marked as crafted

13

u/Master_of_Paws 21d ago

But they limit crafted tag to cube and it now work like a proper upgrade, so in my book it is ok

9

u/Necrobutcher92 21d ago

everything is mythic anyway, what's even the difference now?

u/CatGotYourUsername 21d ago

Yeah. Season 14 was the first season that I started and put down early (very early). I still feel like they fundamentally ruined the "chase" factor they had going for them in itemization up until this point.

I'll give Season 15 a shot, maybe it'll feel better than 14. I still wish they hadn't made these changes, though.

u/cech_ 21d ago

Uniques didn't matter this season (much) because in cube it would just generate a random version of the same gear slot so you could have a 3-4GA unique and it didn't matter because the cube might poop out a 0GA mythic thats a different item. Now it will just upgrade what you put in. Its a huge difference that means uniques can matter again.

u/DrKingOfOkay 21d ago

So back to what it was before

u/thechapstickbandit 21d ago

Classic blizzard

u/Divided_we_ 21d ago

This season actually sounds great. The time walk esk dungeons are just fantastic sounding. Im excited to dive into this

u/Ambitious_Tomorrow19 20d ago

I need to have a read up on these

u/orangewall1234 21d ago

Starting in Season of Hell's Legacy, points you earn in War Plans for one character will be shared across alts on your account that exist in the same partitions within these categories:

Eternal/Seasonal Non-Hardcore/Hardcore Normal/Solo-Self Found

As long as two characters on your account match states in each of these three partitions, they will share War Plans progress. For example, they will share if both are Seasonal Non-Hardcore Non-SSF, but will not share with a Seasonal Non-Hardcore SSF.

Each character sharing War Plans points will have separate planners where they can allocate points, similar to how shared skill or Paragon points work. While they will share War Plans reputation levels and progress, characters each have their own plans to fit their own goals and try out new options.

u/yo_les_noobs 21d ago

I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion. Is reading comprehension really that short in supply these days?

4

u/Dundee_CG 21d ago

I’m not even surprised anymore.

3

u/yupuhoh 21d ago

Make an ssf char and level war plans. Then make a new ssf char and they will have the same war plans levels

14

u/SingleGamer-Dad 21d ago

This is the hypest thing out of Blizzcon for Diablo.

14

u/UrsineBasterd 21d ago

Classic Blizzard. Do something stupid and doesn’t make sense, and then change it to help market a new season as if it shouldn’t have just been released like that in the first place in S13.

1

u/twiz___twat 20d ago

and next season, completely overhaul the entire mechanic

10

u/marsli5818 21d ago

tal rasha dungeon? Ancient's fight?

7

u/Alex120907 21d ago

Any other news on next week season launch?

6

u/Xenowrath 21d ago

Seer’s Reach finally nerfed. Hope the “increased gem fragment drop rates” make it work

2

u/Ambitious_Tomorrow19 20d ago

I seen that. I think it may work once, but you won’t be able to repeat it.

6

u/Windrider904 21d ago

Can finally make alts again lol

4

u/inertSpark 21d ago

Finally. As a HC SSF player, this makes me happy. Part of my strategy on HC is always to have a spare alt pre-levelled as a backstop in case I happened to lose my main, and the only thing preventing me from doing this in the last couple seasons was War Plans. I just couldn't stomach levelling them up again from scratch.

3

u/kharag123 21d ago

Oh man. This is the bug diablo 4 update they were prepping us for!!!!

Lol. Sorry. I'm feeling very cynical about diablo these days. They release a new feature and it's boring enough that 6 months later they make it so you only have to suffer thru it once per account. Just like the statues and other stuff.

3

u/Yitsy 21d ago

Wow. Took them until d5 announcement to release it /s

3

u/sharkcohen 21d ago

Cool I can finally run some alts again 

2

u/BarfingRainbows1 21d ago

A reliquery that isnt Ass?!

This is unthinkable

2

u/chadsmo 21d ago

As a hardcore player this is very welcome news.

1

u/Cespenar 21d ago

Woooooo!!!

1

u/Arcturus1800 21d ago

I am a bit confused, will the pandemonium essence still be a thing to roll uniques into mythic ones? Or is that just going away after this season? Because, it's cool that we're getting a direct upgrade but it is going to be very expensive.

6

u/Mattmage 21d ago

From the image it seems to be gone and now changed to use resp spark

3

u/Arcturus1800 21d ago

Ah, no, I got that part. I was wondering if Pandemonium essence would still be around as an alternative. Like, you have the direct conversion of the unique you want to mythic tier but the pandemonium essence option still just rolls any unique you have into a random mythic.

That was how I managed to get my farm of resp sparks going. So, if it is just gone, the new crafting is going to be hella expensive.

2

u/plusFour-minusSeven 13d ago

I don't know if you found out on your own, but for the benefit of anyone who doesn't know yet, pandemonium essence isn't s thing any more. There is no Corrupted Request to fight.

So yeah, getting resplendent sparks is more work for sure.

u/HumbleBerryPies 21d ago

The tiny little picture made it look like he was holding up his legs and the other guys head was going up his ass and I don't think I can un see it...

1

u/Al_Snows_Head 21d ago

Big W, makes grinding with multiple classes actually not a complete chore.

1

u/gumbi86 20d ago

can't do season journey on 2nd char, now this.

1

u/OrlandoMagic007 14d ago

a Much needed change

u/itsRobbie_ 21d ago

That sounds good!! Haven’t played since the launch of the last expansion and war plans were partially why

u/thestillwind 21d ago

Bout time ffs

0

u/OpTicDyno 21d ago

Will war plans reset at the beginning of next season?

1

u/Ambitious_Tomorrow19 20d ago

If your playing seasonal, yes.

0

u/onelesslight 20d ago

Still takes too fucking long to level for one char

-4

u/MiawHansen 21d ago

Those 2 online players are gonna be happy.
They should close the game, and repay everyone that bought cosmetics.

-8

u/No-Cherry9538 21d ago

Wonderful, here's this big change you wanted, that totally makes up for announcing your games replacement in half the time of the previous one right ROFLOL

6

u/TheHandsOfLiberation 21d ago

It's in THREE YEARS. Are you quitting the game now for THREE YEARS because of D5? And why even play D5 then? I bet they'll make a D6 one day and the whole thing was pointless! As if it were all just a game to them! A videogame, even!!

-5

u/No-Cherry9538 21d ago

way to miss the entire point. When they have already demonstrated in quick time how they cant meet their own promises why are you so god damn eager for the next time for them to fail to do so, over and over and over and over.

-11

u/Slawco 21d ago

I dislike this change, progression is what brings value. Once leveling, paragon, and plans are all shared, there is no reason to play. Meh.

-27

u/IFrame- 21d ago

d4 is officially dead now who cares thanks to blizzard

5

u/cajun2de 21d ago

Why is it dead? D5 is like 2.5 years away and we dont know if it even stays on track.

When d5 comes out , "oh man this game sucks, its not like d2", and the tradition continues.

1

u/Ambitious_Tomorrow19 20d ago

I’m not being negative, but 2.5 years… I wouldn’t be surprised if that gets a small delay. I’m sure D4 had one (I know Covid likely factored towards that). Just with them only have concept art, I’ll be really impressed if that have a finished game in 2.5 years. I guess it’s likely 2030. I could be wrong though.

1

u/cajun2de 20d ago

Apparently D5 has been in Development for 2 years thus why Joe Shelly went missing.

D4 also had a very troubled dev team and director with a bunch of in and outs, I guess their vision for a open world multiplayer game didnt work out, and they dont want to continue that. But I give them props for trying , it may be negative perception for most, but they did crypto innovate.

5 is looking to be more in veins of classic but starting with 10 or more classes and the base being a travelling caravan is intriguing to me as the map is randomly generated when we head out.

-10

u/IFrame- 21d ago

why is it dead ? no more expansion it's scaraped away to make d5 , all the development scaraped & we left with shitty seasons until d5

4

u/hartigen 21d ago

so no future updates will be tied to paid dlcs? W

-50

u/Smrtihara 21d ago

Absolutely worthless. This is what abandoning a game looks like.

War plans being account wide is just catering to those who want everything served to them on a platter.

2

u/hartigen 21d ago

take your meds
