Grinding Gear Games has been growing and we've expanded into more of our office building. We're finally settled into our new space and wanted to share some photos with you. The new office space is on the top floor of the building and is home to our Audio team, UI team, and all of our Live Operations (System Administrators, Web Developers, Producers, QA and Community Team).

We are still occupying the same office space a floor down and a floor below that, so we're slowly taking over the majority of the building we're in. If you're interested in taking a peek into a part of our studio, check out the photos below! (Note that these photos were taken first thing in the morning before many people had arrived for the day)

The right side of the floor is occupied by the QA team - Good morning!

Here's another view of QA's space. T... Read more

Want to know more about what goes into the music and sound effects of Path of Exile or how they're made? Our sound designers are keen to answer your questions, so we'll collect them from today's news post and present the answers sometime in the next few weeks!

We may not be able to go through every question with them, but we'll try to get as many of your questions answered as possible!

We look forward to your questions!

In an upcoming patch, we'll be making some further small changes to the Lake of Kalandra expansion. This news post outlines what you can expect.

In a previous post, we mentioned we were discussing issues related to magic find/culling feeling mandatory as well as cases where it feels bad to get a lot of quality currency or flasks from killing a monster with specific Archnemesis modifiers. In both of these cases, our discussions are ongoing. However, in order to provide a bit more certainty, we can say that we don't have easy solutions for these issues mid-league and will be looking at what's possible for 3.20.

Upcoming Changes We're planning to remove Gems as a possible reward from Tier 3 and 4 generic encounters in the Lake of Kalandra. For the most part, these will be replaced by Currency Chests.

We're planning to reduce the number of monsters that spawn in the Reflection of the Dream encounter. Additionally, we're planning to reduce the open and close ti... Read more
