With a new patch, Blizzard aimed to improve the drop rates of Mythics in Diablo 4. Apparently, that didn’t work out, as players claim. Now the developers are responding.

On July 14, patch 3.1.1 for Diablo 4 was released and has improved the drop rates for mythical items among other things. The specific changes here are:

  • a fixed bug that prevented shelter bosses from dropping mythical uniques
  • an increased chance for legendary mythical items (“Iconics”)

Blizzard adjusted the Mythic system with Season 14 and it has been criticized since then. Experts especially emphasize: With the new system, it is virtually impossible for casuals to obtain the strong and sometimes build-essential items.

After the patch, some players have now tried how well they can get Mythics. On Reddit, a user saved 830 keys to open boss chests – with moderate success. 38 Mythics, of which only 4 have a large affix and no Iconic. Now even Blizzard is reacting.

“We are looking into this, as well as other issues surrounding Mythics”

A similar observation with over 300 boss kills was shared in the official forum. There, community manager Lyricana responded, writing: “The team is currently looking into this, also Mythics in general.”

Also in other threads there are reactions from Lyricana, stating that there are apparently problems with the changes, but they are working on a solution. We don’t know when the next patch will be released that actually fixes the drop rates.

The current Season 14 is not well received by players, especially not after the much better Season 13 and the corresponding launch of Lord of Hatred. The expansion has received much praise, not only for new content but also for the story.

Season 14 feels “slow” to many players. The core theme of the season is the revised Mythics with new ways to craft them, but with a limit and recipes that apparently are not as intuitive as thought: Players destroy their items in Diablo 4 because they cannot read properly, one gives a useful tip
