It was actually day one on PC but Hotfixed on console.
"To correct this, we recently issued a hotfix for PS4 and XB1 to disable Mortick's Brace from dropping. This hotfix is now live for both platforms in all regions. (Please note that the hotfix will not remove any existing Mortick's Braces from players' inventories; it will only prevent new versions of the item from dropping.) We may revisit this item in a later patch."
It shouldn't be dropping on console anymore but there was some setting that could have stopped the hotfix from getting you I remember them saying.
Wasnt actually trolling, I thought i had the right answer
You did somewhat, as you are on console. Your characters and everything are indeed not connected to Blizzard and are able to play offline due to them being locally stored. However this does have a problem when Blizzard deploys Hotfixes as consoles don't have a real way of putting Hotfixes out like PC does. The following might help you if any of it applies to you.
Please note that since these changes were deployed as a console hotfix as opposed to a full client patch, there are some key differences of which players should be aware.
New Gaming Sessions: On the PS4 and Xbox One, users may be required to play online* in order for the hotfix to be saved between gaming sessions. Ultimate Evil Edition games created on one of these consoles while offline may not have these hotfixes enabled. On the PS4, users will only need to download and install the hotfix file once while signed into their Playstation Network account. After the hotfix file has been downloaded and installed, no additional steps will be required. The hotfix will remain active even if subsequent games are created offline. *It is important to note that this is not a change to Ultimate Evil Edition’s optional offline play mode. Ultimate Evil Edition games created on Xbox One which were previously hotfixed, but are no longer connected online can still be played as normal, but without the hotfix change.
Users on both platforms must be signed into their respective PlayStation Network or Xbox Live accounts to be eligible for hotfixes (PlayStation Plus and Xbox Live Gold subscriptions are not required, however). The hotfixes will automatically download in the background when you progress to Ultimate Evil Edition’s Main Menu.
Did I miss something I thought this was hotfixed? Had a pair drop this morning

It dropped earlier on today, I have new patch and all. It's my third pair since the patch
You ask to close then you add to the thread? Quit trolling. It's console where you're not directly connected to Blizzard.
