Path of Exile Dev Tracker

Last weekend, we launched Path of Exile: Heist. Since its launch, we've received lots of feedback about various aspects of the new content and we wanted to give you some insights about what to expect. We are preparing various server side fixes that we'll deploy as quickly as possible. Since these don't require realm restarts they are fairly easy for us to push through with fast turnarounds.

We are also planning a restart patch for later this week. This patch ideally includes things like some bonus Heist bosses and quests and the ability to use Heist monsters as spectres.

Before we proceed in this post, please understand that we are working on much more than this post covers. In order to document every small fix or improvement that we're working on, we would have needed to slow down the development of these in order to communicate these changes (essentially taking key developers away from their duties to help put information into a post).

However, we do wan... Read more

Do you burn with the desire to look spectacular? Well thank your lucky stars! The Twilight Mystery Box contains 38 brand new Lunaris- and Solaris-themed cosmetic effects. It's clear as day that these stellar outfits are the perfect addition to your cosmetic collection.

Each Mystery Box costs 30 points and guarantees one microtransaction with value equal to or greater than that of the box. Many of these mystery box cosmetics can be combined to create a blended version of the two designs for even deeper character customisation. The possible outcomes from your mystery box range in value from 30 points all the way up to 320 points!

The average reward is worth 110 points, which is more than three times the cost of the box. Check out the full trailer to see what's available!

Our intention was to release an experimental copy of the macOS Path of Exile client around a week ago, so that community members could test it before its official release tomorrow alongside Heist. A series of last-minute unexpected technical problems meant that we only had this client distributable today. Our new plan is to release this experimental client immediately for feedback from adventurous macOS users, and to officially release on Mac in around a week.

We have put together a macOS version of 3.11.2 (which does not include any Heist content) we have released an installer .dmg file here[webcdn.pathofexile.com] for Mac users to test. This version will update to and work with Heist tomorrow.

To install it, download and open the .dmg file. Drag the Path of Exile folder into you... Read more

Shortly after we launched Harvest, we released a set of league stash tabs that, in spite of selling really well, caused some community members to express concern. Path of Exile has dozens of league launches ahead of it and naturally these will continue to introduce new items. Therefore, we needed a policy around item storage that's future-proofed. We've discussed it and want to share this policy with you.

Stash Tabs are one of the keystones to funding for development and we will continue to develop them in future. However, with league content our policy is now that any items that are essential for progression in the league (e.g. Seeds from Harvest, Azurite from Delve or Contracts from Heist) will have their own dedicated storage system in that league. Any rewards from a league (e.g. Blight Oils and Delve Fossils) can be put into their own purchasable Stash Tab or any regular Stash Tab you already own.

We feel that this policy creates a reasonable compromise in providi... Read more

In Path of Exile: Heist, we'll be changing some mechanics to help keep the metagame fresh. You'll be able to view these changes in greater detail in the patch notes tomorrow but in the meantime, this manifesto outlines what you can expect.

As with every league, we are making some changes to a few key mechanics that outclass alternatives or provide too much power with too little investment. This helps to keep a fresh metagame, encourage players to consider alternatives and prevent us having to raise the difficulty of Path of Exile's content to compensate for the small subset of builds that can trivialise content.
