We have just released a hotfix to our latest build for Lichdom: Battlemage 1.2. This 415MB patch includes the following update:

All loot machine events can be replayed when fast traveling in NG+
Increased loot rarity drops in NG+

As players move through NG+ rarity increases on random drops (not pustules, loot machines or chests, for instance) so that Common and Uncommon are removed from the lists and Rare becomes the baseline.
Lieutenants, Minibosses, and Bosses have a much better chance for a Legendary drop in NG+
Some ‘gift’ drops in Old Drivasser will still be awarded, but those drops exist outside the random loot drop system
