Today we saw Blizzard discussing the issue that Legendary Items do not properly roll the item affixes that the online Game Guide states they should have. The assumption here is that a lot of the current legendaries in the game were bugged. Vasadan had a few things to say on the topic and ended the day with a statement saying that the Game Guide is inaccurate and does not correctly display the correct stats an item can have.
Hello all,
I just wanted to post this as there has been a lot of confusion regarding Legendary items.
The Game Guide currently has some mistakes and misleading information in it. I will be working with a team on fixing these mistakes.
Thank you for your patience with this.
One item that got a lot of attention is the helmet Mempo of Twilight that on the official Game Guide states that the item is suppose to have One of 3 Magic Properties.
A quick scan of the auction house will clearly show you that the helmet does not always have one of those stats. Vasadan confirmed that the helmet is suppose to always have one of those stats and that it is fixed in 1.0.5.
Hey guys, I did some more testing in the PTR build. I spawned in 30 Mempos. All 30 had above 170 of a Primary Stat. Three of them had well over 200 of a Primary Stat.
Picture 1As of right now this is working as intended in 1.0.5. I do not know what to say about the 1.0.4 Mempos other than that all new Mempos dropped in 1.0.5 should be in line with the stats I am showing you above. 1.0.4 Mempos rolled correctly when we tested them for 1.0.4 and these 1.0.5 Mempos are rolling as expected. There was no bug logged between these times nor a documented game change.
I am going to put in a bug to see what the developers say regarding Mempos of Twilight not being able to roll 200 of a Primary Stat as a single affix. We'll see what they say.
I truly appreciate your patience with this. It is hard to have a conversation with people over a forum.
What will be the end result of this? Will other Legendaries be "fixed" too? Or is at as Vasadan said that the Game Guide is wrong and Mempo of Twilight is the exception. Remember, not only will level 58-62 legendary items be better in 1.0.5 due to being able to roll level 63 stats on their "Random Magic Properties", but with this new information even current level 63 Legendaries could change next patch.
Oh since we are on the topic of Legendary items changing in 1.0.5, I should also add the fact that the Nagelring and Unity legendary rings will be able to drop finally as they do not exist in 1.0.4.
