Not that I used them any way with legendary potions, they were kinda collecting dust, but the whole stack of over 1200 or so just up and disappeared.

Hey, thanks for stopping by the forums, lpnlizard!

It's always a good idea to check our patch notes for changes to the game whenever a new patch launches. There are also many players here (as well as the New Player Help forum) who will likely jump in to answer your question, if you ask nicely. : )

Now base players get like a base unlimited potion that has no affixes on it like the legendary ones have.

BubbaGump is correct here. If you'd like to know more (cue the Starship Troopers reference) here's the design philosophy behind this change (also in our patch notes):

Developer comments: This patch we took a hard look at our auto-pickup rules. We started by looking at an option to auto-pickup potions but as we discussed this further we realized it made more sense to just remove normal potions from the game completely. For crafting materials and gems we want to avoid simply having them auto-pickup but with the introduction of certain Treasure Goblin variants last patch the amount of clicking was excessive. We've implemented what we call "vacuum pickup" to alleviate how often you have to click to pick up a large quantity of items while maintaining some aspect of the physical pickup act.

  • Regular health potions have been removed from the game
  • The health potion slot on the action bar is now a Bottomless Heath Potion that will heal you for 60% of your maximum Life
  • The functionality of Legendary potions is unchanged
  • Looting a crafting material will now also pick up all other materials of the same type within 20 yards
  • Looting a gem will now also pick up all other gems within 20 yards
