During the latest Campfire, Blizzard mentioned older versions of legendaries and uniques becoming «legacy items.» While this term may seem odd for players new to ARPGs, Legacy Items have some precedence in other ARPG games, so some players may know what to expect. For those who don't, though, here's everything you'll need to know!
Diablo 4 PTR Campfire Chat Diablo 4 PTR Patch Notes
Legacy variants of items are well known in other ARPG communities, particularly the Path of Exile community.
Essentially, a Legacy item, or as known in other ARPGs «legacy variants», are older versions of legendary or unique items that have been changed over the years. These could be something like a Unique with an ability change that didn't occur retroactively, or a Legendary Aspect that was completely reworked into a before and after version.
The key thing to remember is that these Legacy items will likely only ever exist on the Eternal realm.
Given that the changes are occurring on a Seasonal refresh, there's no stock of them in inventories of Seasonal characters — meaning that every copy to exist prior to the changes will have already migrated to Eternal. While this technically means fewer options for a Seasonal character to create a build with, it greatly expands the possibilities for an Eternal character — and possibly the cost on some harder to find Legacy items that possibly have more desirable stats for a specific build.
Think of your items as discontinued versions, which will make them incredibly rare and essentially a piece of the game's history, forever immortalized in your stash or character gear setup.
It is important to note that these Legacy items will not be usable with the upcoming crafting system — even when it comes to the Eternal realm.
What do you think of Legacy items in Diablo 4? Let us know in the comments below!
Diablo 4's Global Community Development Director, Adam Fletcher has announced that the development team will be hosting a live stream to address player feedback from the recent Season 4 PTR.
Diablo 3 may no longer be the newest ARPG on the block, but that doesn't mean that its fans and developers are done thinking about it. One of its former developers has been discussing the key design decisions that went into it, in fact, and comparing it to 11th Hour Games' Last Epoch, which launched to immediate success back in February, with players quick to point out the similarities between it and the Diablo series.
For fresh characters just getting to Kyovashad in Season 4 of Diablo 4, they may find the skies begin to turn red at times — Helltides are making an appearance. Helltides are on the horizon for players in World Tier 1 and 2! While this isn't the greatest thing for the long term health and safety of the denizens of Sanctuary, this is quite a boon for Wanderers looking to spice up their leveling experience. With all the changes coming in Season 4, the early game experience for many players will be entirely revamped. Players have been able to experience the scaled-down Helltides in the PTR, and it's been noted that not only are they significantly safer for lower-level characters, they're excellent for experience as well.
