I'm into destiny too, and they're head Community manager Deej also moved to doing "behind the scenes" work. In your opinion, what kind of work does that entale?

It depends on the company/person. Behind the scenes I do production type stuff and generally get the community stuff organised. I know quite a few CMs do production work and I also know some who do game design work so it really depends. There's lots of things to do!

We've just released three new unusual pets: the Fire Ball, the Ice Ball and the Lightning Ball. These elemental balls will roll alongside your Exile or happily bounce in your hideout. Check them out by watching their videos below or get yours in the store.







If you're looking for a matching outfit, consider using one of the popular elemental-themed armour sets, such as the ... Read more

I suspect its worse; that an impasse has been reached. That the delay in ignite applying is caused by the server not wanting to blindly allow for damage which would kill the targeted boss if unchecked.

My theory, having seen none of their code:

  1. The game attempts to check to determine if the damage is real, putting all damage on hold, but by the time it figures out it is real, a new ignite has been applied.

  2. Only one ignite can be on a target at a given moment, and the one picked is the bigger one. Since the second ignite has not yet been evaluated, no ignite is applied because the game doesn't know which is bigger.

  3. Then, the second ignite evaluates and a third ignite is applied, but the first ignite has already expired, and the same scenario ensues. Infinite loop of zero damage.

This theory holds up in that the threshold for doing zero damage varies based on boss life. You can run into this wall very ear...

We have a fix for this coming. It was indeed caused by overflow, so your damage will be capped instead. There are plans for a larger refactor to the damage pipeline, but this is quite a major task.

Welcome back Bex! Also, quick shout out to Natalia for taking over while you were gone. She did a great job!

She did such an amazing job! We are so lucky to have her. She's also even greater behind the scenes.

Okay well a few months after I started my leave it had been a long time since I'd trolled the community and that energy was starting to overflow. I emailed him with the subject LEAK? which is something I would do if we were worried Path of Exile information had gotten out. Inside the email was actually a picture of a roof leaking.

Glad to have you back Bex!

As stupid as some people think, you really do bring a amazing vibe to our community. It’s easy to tell with insightful eyes when your not around. Between you and space mom, you guys make gaming community’s a lot more joyful (for me).

Hope your family (and your small ducks!) are doing well.

Ps: make sure to troll Chris, I’m sure he needs it right about now!

Thanks so much. I really appreciate that! I actually did troll Chris at one point while I was gone and apparently disturbed an important dinner. He didn't seem mad but we'll see what happens now that I'm back...

There aren't enough words! In the interest of being brief - despite how tough it's been, this is the greatest time in my life so far.

It's been two months since ExileCon, which became one of the most memorable events of 2019 for us (hopefully for you too!). We've finally managed to go through a massive amount of footage recorded at the convention, and have montaged it into a short video with highlights from the ExileCon weekend. We hope you enjoy it!



Check out our ExileCon playlist if you're interested in watching presentations given by our developers at the convention. We'll release the rest of the talks over the coming weeks.

Welcome back. Not much has changed tbh, you left - RaizQT had no six link on SSFHC, you came back and 7.2k fusings later he still has no six link on SSFHC. Oh and we all complained like a ton. Welcome back.

I'm glad to hear Raiz suffers even when I'm not here.

As long as the ducklings keep coming, I'll keep posting them! They're more like small ducks than ducklings now though :P

I just realised that all the questions about ducklings make it seem like I took parental leave to raise ducks. I guess it's half true.

The ducklings are doing great. They're about halfway fledged and they're more like small ducks now. Even their quacks are changing.
