Mid Season buff

General Discussion
1

I remember reading about Blizz doing a mid-season buff similar to s20 doubly goblins. Any development on this?

Hoping for a Ring of Royal Grandeur buff. It would add a bit more build diversity to play around with.

That was to placate people because that season’s buff also sucked.

But it was too late anyway, because everyone and their granny had already completed the seasonal journey by then. And they didn’t even make the buff available in non-season.

I’ve already finished the entire season on both Asia + Americas. Not doing EU because really bad ping.

I’m curious too. Hoping it’s something new and exiting to play and mess around with so that i can further enjoy the season till the end.

We don’t plan on canning but maybe a mid-season thing similar to last season may be a good thing to incorporate. Will stew on it with others.

I think this is legitimate feedback that the team is really well aware of with this and past seasons having similar mechanics and similar fanfare. I will say that I don’t think the idea of canning a theme will ever be in the mix but can look at ways of making it better or doing something else.

Huh? Season 20 had double goblins? When was this cause I played from around 10 May till very close to the end and don’t remember it at all…

Wasn’t it in 19 or 18? Cause 20 had a really cool theme.

Well then. How the hell did I not notice that. I wasn’t even drunk when I played and I don’t remember that at all.

Double bounties and perhaps something else with it.
I had this idea - Cursed Chest Theme :
Touching a White Chest, Resplendent Chest, and Radiant Chest will turn them into a Cursed Chest Event.

Cursed Chests Event Pool (Bold = New):

  • Killing a boss (which one depending on Act) in 45 seconds. Drops a Bounty Cache/Bag upon death. (Bounty cache/bag type depends on which Act the Boss is from).
  • Killing a bunch of normal enemies in 30 seconds.
  • Killing an [elite pack] in 30 seconds.
  • Kill at least 100 enemies within 1 minute and then clear the rest.
  • "Tipping Point" requiring 3 waves of bovine herds to be eliminated to spawn 4 [Radiant Chests], Ckear within 1 minute.
  • Bandit Chest : Spawns 10-15 [Treasure Goblins], one by one, in rapid succession, Kill all within 30 seconds from last Goblin spawn

Event does not work on Boss Maps.
Event does not stack if White Chest, Resplendent Chest, and Radiant Chest was already spawned from a Cursed Chest Event.

Though I think its too late to be in S21. Plus knowing blizz/D3, im pretty much expecting complete silence from them or a blue post saying “Thank you for your suggestion” then never ever seeing it being implemented in the game, good ol’ blizz…

Great… Double rewards on a game mode that I rarely play on anymore. Oh what fun…

I was afraid of double bounties. Everyone is botting now. It’s not even the good bots either. afk bots leeching in town.
