      They briefly had a situation where the uber-uniques could drop from Helltide chests, so people were grinding it hard to get Harlequin Crests and whatnot. Now Blizzard have disabled the uber-unique drops entirely per the message in the launcher.

              The note in the launcher says they’ve “disabled Uber Uniques from dropping in-game while we address an issue with Helltide Chest drops”.

              Take from that what you will.

                  Just for future reference / completeness: it was temporary, but game-wide and not only in Helltide. They have been re-enabled.

        I suspected we wouldn’t get Uber uniques in them… I asked myself that but I thought “no way” — I honestly don’t like helltide anymore. It feels like an hour of worthless grind where some “environment hazard” can wipe half an hour of progress - for shit tier loot. Only thing I like it for is to grind obols. Nightmare dungeons are better right now

        The only unique I’ve had drop (LV. 73, only had time to play one character) is Ancients’ Oath (5 of the damn things!), so I for one welcome the possibility of maybe getting something else.

    Still no fix for the rubberbanding / lag. Great.
    Edit: Event’s also still stuck at 3 waves with no further enemies spawning.

      Someone got a Harlequin Crest (sp?) in one of them. Apparantly the issue (and the reason they’ve disabled them) is that Barbs (and one more class I can’t remember right now) have no unique helms other than the super rares. So when the RNG Gods decides a barb should get a unique helm, the only option is the Harlequin, which means the droprate is suddenly way higher than intended.

    Hmmmm what does this mean: Fixed an issue where Aspects that deal flat damage imprinted through the Codex of Power scaled with player level instead of item power.

    Does that mean if you were hanging onto a lower level item and it seemed to be fine, suddenly it could be crappy?

      I would assume so. It sounds like it was intended to increase the damage depending on your weapon, like other skills, but it wasn’t. I assume this is a buff for most players but maybe a nerf for players with low item power but high rolls.
