Season 21 - trials of tempests: double bounties

General Discussion
1

Hello everyone –

The trials this season brings upon a new event for the community. Starting from 11am PT today and through the end of Season 21, all bounties will be doubled. What does this exactly entail? All Horadric Caches earned from bounties will be doubled. This means that each time you complete bounties in an Act, you will now receive two Horadric Caches as opposed to just one. Double the bounty rewards!

There are a few things to keep in mind with this effect:

  • The bonus cache does benefit from difficulty level; it is essentially as though you completed twice the bounties.
  • The rewards inside the Horadric Caches are otherwise unaffected; drop rates or the amount of individual rewards have not been altered.

The bonus cache earned from Challenge Rifts is not affected; this is a separate type of cache.

Check out our Game Guide for a list of bounty-exclusive Legendary items and more information on the Bounty system.

On top of this, we would like to note that we plan on extending PTR testing timelines prior to each new season going forward. This will result in a slightly extended season, and will allow for 2 weeks of PTR testing for the community along with an additional week for the team to implement and work feedback/changes in before the season begins. The intention here is to make sure we can apply as much feedback as possible from the community during these PTR timelines while also giving us a good amount of time to test these changes before they go live.

Thanks again. Happy slaying!

Thanks for the report. We’re checking what’s going on exactly and how to fix this.
(I will still let this post as is in order to have something here for the long run).

From the US forums a couple of hours ago…

Deleted my earlier post in the thread as it’s no longer relevant.

Thank you Brontonov, and welcome to the EU forums! :slight_smile:
I completed the Journey to get the last stash tab on the Asia server… -Any chance of getting this buff for non season players, so we don’t have to level up from scratch if we’re not fans of this season?

Thanks Meteorblade for the follow-up. :slight_smile:
Also, thanks ZeeLoyd for the welcome! (I’m not really new to the forums, but let’s say I’m not the speaking kind). Right now this buff is bound to the Season 21 only. But we don’t close the door to potential changes!

The double bounty thing is a quick way to “catch up” for those that cannot play a lot from the start of the season thou I miss the last seasons bonuses that I due to lack of time didn’t have time to test out but that is on me, not you.

some of the elemental interferance can be annoying in town thou. I suggest cutting those of instantly when going to town. I have roasted Tyrael in Diablolike beam fire enough times now.
