Blizzard is redesigning Diablo Immortal’s legendary crests to “help differentiate” them from the eternal legendary chests that cost players real money.
Responding to a post in the game’s subreddit, lead designer Wyatt Cheng said that the team not only wanted to ensure the colours were different, but also change their shape, too, so “players know exactly what they’re getting when they make a purchase”.
“Players should be able to distinguish the two quickly not only by colour but also by shape (for colour-blind accessibility),” Cheng added (thanks, PCGN).
“We did some usability tests earlier this month to ensure they can be understood clearly during normal gameplay such as when shrunk down to small sizes or for new players. In addition, we’re adding the Market Icon to the item description of the Eternal Legendary Crest to reinforce the difference.”

Cheng further confirmed that the new update will also usher in a change to the Elder Rift Entrance UI so players “can choose which one you want to use (if you own both) as well as easily see how many of each you own from the entrance UI”.
