Diablo 4 has had some of the strangest glitches and bugs in its first month since release, and a player that racked up hundreds of hours incidentally failed to take advantage of the July 6 incident with Helltides. When it comes to Diablo 4's endgame, characters usually have two options: Nightmare Dungeons and Helltides. Whereas Nightmare Dungeons have been a tried-and-true method of acquiring some of Diablo 4 Items the most powerful items in Diablo 4, Helltide Chests comparatively lagged behind.

To that end, Diablo 4 released Patch 1.0.4 with the hopes of bridging the reward gap between Helltides and Nightmare Dungeons, as the most prominent change in its patch notes allowed Helltide Chests to drop Unique items. Though Legendary Aspects all fall within a similar scope of item power, not all Uniques are created equal. Diablo 4 has six Chase Uniques with astronomically small chances of dropping, and prior to the July 6 incident, its number across the globe counted in the dozens.

However, with the changes made to Helltide Chests in Patch 1.0.4, certain players could obtain the Harlequin Crest with a very generous 0.5% chance to drop, as Diablo 4 classes such as Barbarian or Sorcerer don't have any Unique Helms in their loot pools other than the Chase Unique. Understandably, once a fairly sizable chunk of American players got flooded with Harlequin Crests overnight, Blizzard was quick to disable Chase Unique drops in Diablo 4 for an indefinite amount of time. This ultimately resulted in Reddit user Thestudliestpancake never having the opportunity to capitalize on the glitch.

The abysmal drop rate, coupled with the Helltide incident from July 6, exposed the growing discontent in the community over the direction of Chase Uniques in Diablo 4. Unlike the rarest items in Path of Exile, Diablo fans can only dream of getting The Grandfather through intended gameplay, as only a few players in the world have been lucky enough to obtain the super rare Unique. For most people, the Chase Uniques may as well not exist, which makes the "chase" largely pointless.

Being able to suddenly obtain these exciting items in Diablo 4 for a night drove player engagement to a new level, and the bitterness from the community following the hotfix implies that the concept behind Chase Uniques could use some work. Though it remains to be seen if new Chase Uniques will be added through the Season of the Malignant in Diablo 4, the developers have promised that six new Uniques would be making their way to the game. However, until drop rates become more favorable to players, these items will likely remain the stuff of dreams rather than the thrilling chase that their name implies.

Blizzard has changed the Diablo 4 title "Predator" to Enemy as part of the latest update, but didn't mention the tweak in the patch notes. Blizzard recently released Diablo 4 Update 1.0.4, which made a number of changes ahead of the Season 4 premiere on July 20.

Blizzard made some significant changes to Diablo 4 with the latest update. One big change was that Helltide chests started dropping Unique items, which in turn made it significantly easier for players to farm Uber Unique items. The developer was quick to  D4 Gold disable those particular Unique items. In the meantime, Diablo 4 players may notice some changes that weren't mentioned in the patch notes at all, like Blizzard changing one of the titles in the game.
