The team is finishing work on the next patch with improvements to the Legion and bug fixes. We're planning to deploy the 3.7.3d update by the end of this working week on PC and as soon as possible on consoles. In the meantime, we wanted to share the full patch notes with you to keep you in the loop regarding what we're working on.

Please be mindful that these patch notes may not be final and are still subject to change before the patch.

As part of our ongoing Streamer Interview news series, we spoke with Uberelite about his experiences with Path of Exile. He's been playing since 2012 and is a long time member of the racing community.

Hi Uber, thank you for taking part in the interview! Please introduce yourself. Thanks for having me! I’m theuberelite, also known as Uber. I'm 27 and have been a PC gamer for more than half my life at this point. Most people know me as someone that plays a lot of minion builds, though I'll play other things from time to time if they are interesting enough to me!

When did you first get into Path of Exile? Back in Closed Beta... around 0.9.12 or so I believe. So around the time of Kripp playing Path of Exile for the first time. I had heard about the game before that from another friend but didn't try it as it was shortly after Diablo 3 ca... Read more

In a few hours we'll be deploying the 3.7.3b patch with server performance improvements as well as several bug fixes and crash fixes. While you're waiting for this update, why not check out its patch notes?

Please note that the patch notes listed below may be changed prior to the release of this update.

• Fixed a bug that caused monster AI to consume too many server resources. This also fixes many cases where monsters were using their skills more often than intended (such as The Shaper in the Uber Elder encounter teleporting around too often and The Brine King using his Bubble Shield too often).
  
• Fixed a bug where the Master of Metal ascendancy passive could cause server performance issues.
  
• Fixed various cases where monster skills would not display correctly if you had left the area and ret...
