In our recent Q&A (Part 1 & Part 2) news post, we mentioned some changes that we want to make to past leagues based on community feedback. As we approach the launch of Path of Exile: Legion we want to provide an update about our timeline for these plans.

Our utmost priority over the last few weeks has been to guarantee a smooth and stable Legion launch with as few problems as possible. As we explained in a previous post from Chris, there hasn't been time to address every community concern during the development of Legion, and we have had to pick our battles and push some changes to 3.8.0.

When we posted the Q&A answers, we were vague about whether the upcoming changes would be in 3.7.0 or 3.8.0. We can now confirm that the majority of changes to Delve and Betrayal content will be coming alongside the launch of 3.8.0 in September. We understand that this is probably not what you wanted to hear, and we're sorry about the timeline but believe it is overall the right choice for the quality of the game and the health of our team.

The good news is that the additional time will let us find proper solutions to problems rather than be forced to apply quick fixes under time pressure. We are looking forward to improving the content from these old leagues and making sure that it is a very popular part of the Path of Exile experience going forward.

Does this count as a teaser?

This is the news post for the day but we have a second teaser lined up for later.

I'd just like to please ask that, realizing that problems can't be fixed for 3.7, the team not include Legion Challenges that will be especially frustrating given the current state of this content.

For example: I played with Betrayal pretty legit in Synthesis league -- I didn't target farm it to death in Quarry pre-patch, etc. I fully intended for 40 Safehouses to be one of my End Game Grinds. I finished 40/40 overall challenges long before it got done because the Core version of Betrayal (which I loved in Betrayal league) is in such a flawed state.

(If possible, I think "no death penalty" from Syndicate members would be a good short-term fix meant to be reverted in 3.8 -- many people still get super lag from Interventions showing up.)

I've passed this along to the team. There's one challenge that fits this description and the team are going to have a look and see what their options are.
