Diablo Immortal is getting in on the World of Warcraft 20th anniversary fun with a new collaboration on the way. This week’s update brings new Legendary items, many improvements, the Winds of Fortune event and returning events too.
The latest Diablo Immortal x World of Warcraft collaboration is set for November. We can expect “familiar faces and notable items” from Azeroth to turn up in Sanctuary. There will be PvE and PvP events to let you earn cosmetics supporting the Alliance and the Horde. The team is also promising a new Legendary Gem “invoking the power of a twisted entity”. Start your guesses, before full details arrive on November 5th.
In the new update, which will be available globally on Wednesday, are new Legendary items for all classes. The update also features a lot of improvements to a number of features, and a one-hour time shift on servers in a few regions.
Terror Rifts will be available for 24 hours with just one map available at a time. Everyone gets their own individual countdown timers. Teams have to enter the same difficulty level and map to participate together. This effort is to improve the experience of the Rifts and of collecting Terror Essence.
Stygian Spires also get an essence adjustment. Instead of all of them costing 200 essence, the range is now incremental, from 100-300. When Spires refresh, you’ll see their locations directly. Additionally, monsters won’t spawn when you open the spires, so you'll go directly to the boss every time. All of these changes are intended to make the experience more fun and easier to complete.
There are some extensive updates to Familiars too, including a clearer Melding process. You’ll see the selected species easily when you are picking attributes, the species selected will have a highlight so that you know which is being preserved. This should prevent losing the Familiar you're trying to keep in the processThere are also a number of UI updates for Familiars.
In addition to returnign events, Winds of Fortune is coming from November 6-13th. Included is a 24-hour buff that you can activate anytime during the event. to earn extra rewards. You'll gain double gold, experience, battle pass points, Normal gems, Legendary items, and items. Items from certain events will also be double drops.
