Path of Exile Dev Tracker

In continuation of our streamer interview news series, we took a moment to talk to community streamer, Brittleknee, to find out more about what her streaming life is like and more behind the scenes info!

Hi Brittleknee, thank you for taking part in the interview! Please introduce yourself. Hi! Thanks for having me. I’m so excited! My name is Liz, but for the most part I tend to stick to Brittle onstream/ingame. I grew up in Florida and still currently reside here. I've been playing video games for most of my life, though I grew up on Quake, Doom, Unreal, CS:S, SK etc, rather than consoles. These days I’m enjoying the Path of Exile life immensely. I’m only about 7.2k hours in, which is still a baby in some circles, but this game has been my ‘home’ for a few years now, and I’m still just as passionate about the game as ever.

When did you first start streaming? How did you get into it? Though there were a few odd streams prior, I started consistently streaming in July ... Read more

Later this week (possibly as early as tomorrow) we're planning to deploy Patch 3.10.1d! It's not large in scope but it contains some bug fixes and small performance improvements. In the meantime, we've prepared its patch notes for you to preview. Please note these are subject to change prior to the deployment of the patch.

Delirium Improvements

• Pure Guile and Pure Aptitude can now be rolled on Aura Cluster Jewels.
  
• Fixed a bug preventing the Bloodscent Cluster Jewel passive from working if you were using it in combination with Rage Support.
  
• Fixed a bug where Immortal Call didn't count as a Non-Vaal Guard Skill for the sake of the Veteran's Awareness Cluster Jewel keystone passive.
  
• Fixed a bug where The Mayor, The Endless Darkness, The Price of Loyalty and The Chosen divination cards did not correctly give credit towards the "Turn in Divination Cards" challenge when turned in.
  
• Fixed a b...

It's been almost four weeks since Path of Exile: Delirium launched and so we wanted to take a look at some Delirium statistics. Today, we'll be giving you an inside look at just how players are faring with both Delirium Orbs and the Simulacrum!

First, let's take a look at how players are using their Delirium Orbs.



To date, there have been just under 6 million Delirium Orbs used on Maps! Fine Delirium Orbs are the most used Orb, which makes sense; currency is always useful and this is one of the most commonly-dropped Delirium Orbs. Skittering Delirium Orbs are the least frequently used, though this is absolutely related to their relative rarity.

Next, let's take a look at a breakdown of how many Delirium Orbs are being used on Maps.

While New Zealand remains in lockdown, our team continues to work from their homes. In this novel time, we thought it would be neat to take a look behind the scenes and see what particular setups our developers have managed to create at home!

As with all league releases, in Path of Exile: Delirium we introduced a number of unique items. For this news post we asked our design team to share their thoughts and processes behind creating these unique items.

Our core goal for modern unique design is to create an item that you'd want to pick up and use, either by creating a new way of playing or enhancing a certain playstyle. For League uniques, many items are intended to be widely usable at a lower level of progression, while being greatly desirable for very specific builds late in progression. There are always exceptions to the rule though!

Since 2003, The British Academy of Film and Television Arts have included Games alongside Film and Television in their annual award ceremonies. This year, Path of Exile was nominated in the Evolving Game category, alongside Apex Legends, Destiny 2, Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers, Fortnite and No Man's Sky. We are incredibly proud to announce that Path of Exile won the 2020 BAFTA award for Evolving Game.

It's such an honour to win this prestigious award. We're so proud of Path of Exile's entire development team and what we have achieved together. We'd like to especially thank our entire community for their support. The Evolution in Evolving Game comes from your feed... Read more

Later this week (Thursday or Friday NZ) we'll be releasing our next patch which contains further improvements to Delirium and some bug fixes. We've prepared a preview of what this patch contains by putting together the patch notes early.

Delirium Improvements

• Active Legion encounters now cause Delirium mist to pause its movement during both the Frozen phase and the Combat phase (previously it was just the Frozen phase).
  
• Active Blight encounters now cause Delirium mist to pause its movement while you are within a large radius of Blight Portals, rather than the Ichor Pump. This is because Blight Portals can sometimes spawn very far away!
  
• Reduced the height of Delirium reward bars so that the top of the images is actually where you receive rewards.
  
• Reduced the volume of Vengeful Skyfire's meteor impact sound effects.
  
• The Purposeful Harbinger notable now grants "10% increased Effect of Au...
