Have you managed to get hold of one of Diablo 4's six ultra-rare "Uber Unique" items in the last day or so? Better cling onto it, then. Blizzard has responded to a recent bug that dramatically increased the drop rate for Diablo's rarest and most sought-after items by temporarily clamping down hard: Until the studio can put out a patch later today, no Uber Unique items will drop in Diablo 4 at all.
Problems kicked off yesterday after Blizzard put out Diablo 4's 1.0.4 patch. For whatever reason, that patch had the unintended side effect of making the game's Helltide Events (and associated Helltide Chests) spit out the game's would-be most coveted items at an absurdly high rate. Players were picking up shakos—a pet name for the mega-rare Harlequin Crest—like they were being mass produced in Shenzhen.
