In a patch in the next day or so, we will be reducing the impact of a lot of defensive Archnemesis Modifiers. This post explains why and lists a preliminary version of the changes.

Archnemesis modifiers are meant to make combat more challenging. Even more so when two synergistic mods stack together to create an especially dangerous emergent behaviour. However, this philosophy is mostly meant to apply to offensive mods, rather than defensive ones.

We want defensive modifiers to exist, and these implicitly make rare monsters harder for certain builds to kill. However, we absolutely agree that it's frustrating when multiple similar mods stack together and extend the length of the fight exponentially. A build affected by this has no way to get around the mods, other than enduring a long fight or running away from the monster.

We have nerfed many defensive modifiers. Our primary goal is so that when two similar defensive modifiers stack together, they don't make m... Read more

We've just deployed 3.19.0c which includes a few improvements and bug fixes. This addresses some of the issues mentioned in {LINK REMOVED}yesterday's post, as well as a few things we're continuing to work on.

3.19.0c Patch Notes

This patch contains changes to the life provided to monsters through Archnemesis modifiers and the number of modifiers that can be found on them. We have also made improvements to rewards in Lake of Kalandra, and Harvest Lifeforce and general item drops, alongside fixing a few bugs. Other changes mentioned in yesterday's news post are still in progress.

Over the weekend, we launched Path of Exile: Lake of Kalandra. The deployment was very smooth with no major technical issues and only some minor hotfixing required over the weekend. We reached a peak of 250k concurrent players. Today we have been processing feedback from the first two days of the league, and have a number of balance and content adjustments we plan to make to address much of this feedback. This post describes our current plan.

Archnemesis
There's quite a large jump in difficulty from the campaign to early maps as the number of archnemesis mods on monsters rises abruptly. This not only affects their average difficulty, but also how tanky they are. We are going to taper this up more smoothly so that it's a more gradual progression (and is unmodified in red maps). This will result in less difficulty and less life on average for rare monsters below red maps.
To prevent life values getting out of hand on special league monsters with archnemesis mods, ... Read more

We've just released the Kalandra Mystery Box, a new mystery box without duplicate microtransactions! Each of the microtransactions in this mystery box has visual behaviour that interacts with your gameplay.

There are 14 microtransactions that you can find in the Kalandra Mystery Box. Each of these microtransactions has a varying number of thematic variations, and you'll never receive a duplicate copy of a variation that you have already opened. For example, if you open the Poisonous Torturer's Gloves variant of the Torturer's Gloves, you may later receive the Bloodsoaked variant, but you'll never get a duplicate Poisonous one.

For a number of years, the PC/Mac version of Path of Exile has used a trade system where players can search for items on a trade website, and then contact those users in-game to arrange a trade. The console version of Path of Exile has used a different system, called the Trade Market. This post details our plans to bring the Trade Site to console players and eventually phase out the Trade Market.

The context for these changes is that of unification. It would be great to see both the console and PC version have the same choice of either mouse/keyboard or game controller. It would be great for them to get the same patches, on the same day, and potentially have cross-play, cross-progression and cross-purchases. All of these are difficult issues that require significant engineering work, platform support and various other factors, so we're not able to promise any of them at this stage. But it's a future we'd love to work towards, and one that requires that Path of Exile is the ... Read more
