New items also have many more affixes that can change the way you play. That’s not to say rubbish drops aren’t present, but they certainly aren’t as frequent as before. Its not only legendary items that are more common but also rare and magic items in fact at times it can seem like magic and rare items are the only ones that drop as they are so common. To put that into perspective in my 100+ hours with the standard game I had 3 legendary drops and by all accounts that was relatively lucky. Within an hour of playing Reaper of Souls a legendary item dropped, within three hours I had 2 and within five hours I had 5 legendary items drop. In order to make sure players still have access to decent gear the item drops have been changed for the better. The auction house has been entirely removed, meaning better loot can no longer be purchased for in-game (or real) money. So when, back in August, Blizzard unveiled the Reaper of Souls expansion, many fans hoped they would finally listen and fix many of the errors they made with the original game.įortunately, Reaper of Souls (combined with the loot 2.0 patch that launched a couple of weeks before the expansion) goes a long way to fixing many of the issues.

Not only did poor servers make the game near un-playable for days but the controversial auction house and low item drop rates alienated many fans of the series as well as newcomers. To say the Diablo III launch was a bit of a mess is an understatement.
