It's been three days since the launch of Path of Exile: Blight, and the team has gone through much of the feedback and many of the bugs reported so far. We've prepared an update about some of the issues that we are working on fixing as soon as possible.

These are the issues that will be addressed later today in a patch:

• The Pulsating Grotto, Restless Rubble and Haunted Remains Delve encounters cannot be completed.
  
• Dying in a map Labyrinth Trial resurrecting you in hideout instead of the map.
  
• Incorrect default location when entering Hideout.
  
• Summoned Raging Spirits not prioritising targets correctly.
  
• Bodyswap not interacting correctly with Zombies when using Aukuna's Will.

This weekend we released Path of Exile: Blight, and it was one of the smoothest launches we have ever had. We released a small handful of patches[www.pathofexile.com] and important serverside hotfixes, and our team are working on the remaining issues that have been reported (such as some problems with Blighted Maps). Please report any problems you encounter in the bug reports forum[www.pathofexile.com].

Thanks so much for your ongoing feedback and support.

Come one, come all! Witness the mysteries and majesty of the Carnival Mystery Box! This creepy circus-inspired Mystery Box contains 38 new cosmetic effects that will leave you gasping for breath. Each Mystery Box costs 30 points and guarantees one microtransaction with value equal to or greater than that of the box. Many of these Mystery Box cosmetics can be combined to create versions of the same designs with an alternate colour, for even deeper character customisation.

Check out the full trailer below to see what's available!

The launch of the Blight expansion is just around the corner! As always, we've prepared all the information you need to know about what happens on launch day.

The realm goes down and patching begins at: Sep 06, 10:00 AM (PDT)
The servers go live at: Sep 06, 1:00 PM (PDT)

The patch size for the update will be around 11GB on Steam.

If you're looking for some extra character slots for your account for launch weekend, we're running a sale on these right now! Additionally, this is your last chance to get Frontier Mystery Boxes!

Keep in mind that if you haven't taken advantage of it yet, it's still possible to get a free Frontier Mystery Box when you spend any amount of points in the store. NOTE: this is only possible once per account. Additional purchases do not grant additional mystery boxes. If you need some extra points, we recommend checking out the Blight supporter packs.

Before we release the full patch notes for Path of Exile: Blight tomorrow, we wanted to take a moment and talk about some of the major changes we've planned for this expansion. The team has written a Development Manifesto to outline these changes.

Global Gem Levels For a while, we've wanted to include modifiers on caster weapons that provide a multiplicative damage increase to spells, similar to how physical weapon modifiers affect the base damage of attacks. Previously this took the form of elemental penetration and modifiers that add a portion of elements as Chaos damage, but this patch we'll be pushing this further in the form of global modifiers to gem levels.

Staves were previously the go-to weapon for increasing gem levels, but their modifiers only applied to gems within the staff.

Caster oriented one-handed weapons will now be able to roll some new modifiers that grant +1 to all Fire, Cold, Lightning, Physical or Chaos Spell Skill Gems, not just one... Read more

Last week, we revealed some of the Poison attack skills coming with Blight. Today we'll show the two remaining Poison gems, Venom Gyre and Plague Bearer.

Venom Gyre
Venom Gyre is a new level 12 Claw and Dagger skill. Fling out a poisonous shuriken blade that deals damage based on your weapon, with physical to chaos conversion and some added chaos damage. It returns to you when it hits an enemy, wall, or after a time. When returning, the blade folds up to pierce through enemies, but deals less damage.

Catch all blades that return to you, storing them around you like charges. You can have up to 30 of these blades floating around you.

If you use Whirling Blades, you'll fling out all stored blades over the length of the whirl, throwing them out in a spiral. Whirling straight through an enemy will cause lots of the blades to hit that foe.

The skill has many interesting interactions with projectile modifying supports; Pierce lets you deal da... Read more
