Path of Exile Dev Tracker

Hi everyone,

I wanted to post myself to clear up some misunderstanding, because when our communication about new items is through bite-sized single sentences and pictures that are designed for easy sharing on social media, some explanation and context can be missed. This often leads to fun speculation by the community, but can occasionally lead to misunderstandings.

This league, we've been working hard at improving our communication so that we are more transparent about what to expect from future changes and what our intentions and thoughts are when making these changes. When we posted the Sacred Orb teaser earlier today, there was a strong reaction to it which is understandable given that we failed to provide enough context for how rare this item is. I am really sorry about that and I hope that I can clear things up by explaining our thinking. The senior designers and I have spent a lot of today going through your feedback and discussing it. We feel that this expla...

There's a post coming out today that explains what happens to your permanent league Atlases when Scourge launches.

We are doing two a day from here until launch. It's a coincidence that this one follows the first teaser that performed badly. We will be talking more about the Sacred Orb but we need time to prepare.

That would actually take more code, and be less performant, than the actual solution, which is that it just makes you unable to block and so your block chance is never queried in the first place.

They are different skills.
