Not true. They can do server-side patches without going through any kind of console certification. Not only did they explicitly say this, they’ve turned around nerf/disable patches in hours.

They are only allowed to fix small things via hotfixes. It’s console rules. Their hands are tied.
Blame MS and Sony.
They can’t fix these thing server side bro LUL. Why do you think you needed to download a patch.
cinder fix already went in

Because that is an easy fix and is allowed. Massive balancing changes are not allowed via hotfix.
It’s already done! did you not see the post they made about it?

They can absolutely fix things related to drops on the server in an always-online, multiplayer game. The server is authoritarive. To say otherwise just confirms that you know nothing about client-server architecture. Plus, they have already done it multiple times (helltide chest uniques, uber uniques). They can even disable aspects without client patches.
I’ll believe this when I actually open a mystery chest again.
