Players have responded with near-universal approval. Diablo 4 has had a number of improvements following the launch of Season of Blood. New content ranging from added endgame bosses to the massively popular Blood Harvest has gone a long way to repairing the game\u2019s reputation amongst players. In fact, Diablo 4\u2019s new Blood Harvest mechanic had players calling for it to replace the \u201cboring\u201d Helltides that preceded it. Of course, Helltides are still a necessity to farm Living Steel so you can one-shot Grigoire with your HOTA Barbarian. Unfortunately, the abysmal drop rates for Living Steel had players petitioning Blizzard for changes. Thanks to a newly released Diablo 4 hotfix, those drop rates have been fixed and players firmly agree that this was a \u201chuge W\u201d on Blizzard\u2019s part. According to the hotfix notes, the adjustments to Living Steel drops are as follows: Living Steel Chest in World Tier 3: Increased from 1 to 2. There is an additional chance for 1-2 extra Living Steels to drop. &#8211; &#8211; Living Steel Chest in World Tier 4: Increased from 3 to 5. There is an additional chance for 5 extra Living Steels to drop. &#8211; &#8211; All other Helltide chests will additionally grant 1 Living Steel in World Tier 4. &#8211; These changes should make it easier on players looking to target farm Duriel for Unique loot and players seem to recognise that. In an announcement post on the game\u2019s Subreddit, users showed almost unanimous support for the move. \u201cI\u2019m happy with this new change. It\u2019s definitely a positive for us still chasing Ubers,\u201d one player put forward. \u201cCan confirm, had ten Living Steel drop from one chest,\u201d replied another. \u201cWe thought it was bugged.\u201d Indeed the only real criticism regarding the change appears to be that \u201cit should have been done sooner\u201d. It is Diablo 4 after all so it would be weird if everyone was happy at once.
