Diablo III Players Receive Anniversary Bonus Buff Starting Tomorrow
In honor of Diablo III's two-year anniversary, Blizzard is offering a special week long bonus that turns the Legendary Drop chance percentage way up.
Starting tomorrow, Thursday, May 15 at 12:00 a.m. PT and ending on Thursday, May 22 at 5:00 a.m. PT, Diablo III players on PC and Mac (sorry console gamers) will receive double Rift Fragments as well as a +100% boost to their chance to find Legendary items. The buff applies to all characters and stack with similar bonuses.
Blizzard recently launched its Reaper of Souls expansion for Diablo III, which we liked quite a bit. You can read our review by heading here.

Our Take
This new practice of incentivizing play during specific periods of time is a smart way to get players to continue playing. It's not a new idea by any means – Call of Duty has been offering double XP weekends for some time – but it's a practice I like.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
