Players are reporting a nasty bug in Season 2 where some of the most important items in Diablo 4 are not dropping. You are wasting your time and getting fed with far too few rewards.
What kind of bug is this? It is about the Hellflames, a temporary event that takes place from time to time in Sanctuary at the given time. The event is often used to farm rare resources and to snag items from chests.
However, the chests can only be opened if you have accumulated enough embers in your inventory. Players are now reporting situations where they have spent their embers on chests and got almost nothing or very little from the chest. Moreover, the drop rate of the embers you get from enemies is also bugged and drops far too few materials.
This is not only frustrating but also a waste of time, yet fans have already shared some methods on Reddit on how you can deal with the problem.

Players offer options on how to deal with the bug
How can the bug be fixed? While many have been annoyed by the bug, some players have come across two options to address the loot problem.
One method revolves around leaving the event as is and waiting for the next one, so you don’t waste time and can do worthwhile things in the meantime.
The second method reports leaving the area where the Hellflames are located and returning again. This is especially worth it for the chest bug if you are getting far too few items for your embers.
It’s enough if you leave the area via teleportation or a dungeon to reload the chests in the Hellflames.
If you are traveling in groups, it is advisable to leave them, as otherwise, you will not be able to reload the area. If you have separated and reset the Hellflames with your teleportation, you can return to your group again.
Has Blizzard commented on the problem? So far, there has been no statement from Blizzard regarding the bug. It is likely that this issue will only be fixed in the upcoming patch 1.2.1, and players will thus have to settle for the options presented.
