Intro

Over the weekend I caught an update on Blizzard Customer Service post that an update was scheduled for Diablo Immortal this week: https://us.support.blizzard.com/en/article/000358479?flowTrackingId


September 8th saw a blog post for Diablo Immortal announcing an upcoming content update.

Here is a summary of the content being released:

From September 24—October 15, 3 a.m. local server time, complete objectives and take part in limited-time events to earn points and make progress towards rewards in the Season of the Harvest event. Earn even more points by taking part in the following events:

From September 18 - September 28, we will be preparing for the next chapter in the story: The Shardborne Prophet, our Prince of Freedom. Just for starting the game on the second, fourth, and eighth day, you will receive the following rewards: a Telluric Pearl, Legendary Crest, and Rare Crests. Along with double XP rewards from the Battle Pass.

We saw this last month, during the Event (Sept 18, 3:00 a.m.—Sept 25, 3:00 a.m. server time) you can enable one time a 24-hour count down time. During this time you can double the rewards for:

Market Update: 5-Star Gems Cross Server Sales

This probably had the most excitement in the community: the first step in to worldwide market pricing. HOWEVER this is ONLY for 5-star gems. Hopefully this will balance the supply and demand. It will be interesting to see what this does for buyers and sellers.

Bulk Buy

Another important market change, to those that wanted it, reenabled Bulk Buy. Especially useful with you need to grab a bunch of gems, for ranking them up.

New Account Normal Gem Trade Restrictions

In an effort to combat bot and macro accounts, from gathering normal gems and then flooding the Market in bulk with these gems, Blizzard is making it harder for them to sell these gems. They can not sell normal gems until they get to Inferno 1 difficulty level. This will slow down newer players, they won’t be able to get platinum early in the game… fortunately they can rapidly gather XP to get thru the Hell difficulties with enough time, especially at the 1600% bonus. New Players: either upgrade any and all gems to rake in the secondary stats… or save the unbound gems until you hit Inferno 1 and sell accordingly then. You’ll appreciate the extra platinum.

Changes in PvP and PvE
PvP Optimizations – Loss of Control and Diminishing Returns

Dev added a new Unstoppable Bar to PvP just below your health bar. It fills up with any Crowd Control (knockbacks and loss of control) cast on your character. As you get CC’ed, there will be a 30% reduction in CC, if you are hit multiple times within 6 seconds… hopefully reducing the likelihood you are CC’ed in to the ground as opponents light you up.

Additionally: if you receive a total of an additional 3s of CC, within 8s, your player will receive 2.5s of temporary immunity to all Crowd Control

Normal Vanguard Co-Op Optimizations

The Siege Engine is now more resilient, which allows it to benefit from a wider set of defensive and restorative Charm skills. The vehicle should now benefit more from your party’s loadouts and supportive skills. When playing in Normal difficulties, we’ve reduced the numbers of blockades from three to two to make it a bit more efficient.

Ancient Scrap

This was a major point of concern when Ancient gear was added to the game; what happens when we move from Inferno 7 to Inferno 8 to Inferno 9… Set had Wisps, Ancient Gear hadn’t see an analog:

Ancient Legendary equipment can now be salvaged for Ancient Scrap and Ancient Artifacts can now be converted into Ancient Scrap at the Blacksmith Materials Vendor in Westmarch.

Elder Rift QoL Update

This was requested quite a bit after the Rift Speed runner event a couple months ago. When a Rift Guardian appears in an Elder Rift, a portal leading directly to the Rift Guardian will appear next to players who are far away.

One more thing….

I am already seeing reports that there may be a Mirrored Jewels event starting with the Content update… hopefully you have 10 Legendary Crests ready… Will also help you with the Bottled Hope / Echoing Shade Event.

Here is a link to an FAQ that I made up a few months ago:

use your one-time run will, and go Max Crests!
