Extra Gore is just a visual. The server (in charge of deciding hits and misses) literally doesn't care about Extra Gore at all. I checked again in response to this thread, and the only thing that checks for Extra Gore is the game client, when adding on-hit effects, which by definition happens after hits and misses have already been determined.

If OP is getting less bleed explosions with Belly of the Beast, then something else must be the culprit. Like maybe he actually needed some other stat(s) from his previous body armor, for example.

We do track instance crashes and collect data automatically, but it's still helpful for people to post a bug report with additional info about what they were doing at the time.

It now provides some visual feedback and has a useful error message, rather than your portals just mysteriously vanishing with no indication why. Also it has a different error message if the Map times out vs. unexpectedly closing/crashing.

Literally getting fixed.

Alva's room exploration should get merged into Standard, yes.

Update: we're improving our systems to automatically fix this kind of thing (losing achievements due to changing requirements). We actually do store completed achievements, so we can recover from this type of error.

Even if you stop trying to level Jun now, you should get the achievement again at some point soon.

It's intended.

First of all, achievements "uncompleting" is definitely a bug, and shouldn't be happening. I will look into this.

Regarding the Master decoration levels (and the Forsaken Masters achievement), we intentionally pitched these to not be too difficult, in terms of time-to-grind. This is why you don't need to fully complete anything to reach level 7 for them:

• Zana level 7 only requires you to complete 120/159ish maps on the Atlas.
• Einhar level 7 only requires capturing 160/270ish different monsters in the Bestiary.
• Niko level 7 only requires delving to a depth 200, compared to 600 for the achievement in Delve League.
• Alva level 7 only requires 70/73 rooms explored in the Temple.
• Jun level 7 only requires 50/57 ranks defeated.

For clarity, Alva and Jun are not quite as straight-forward as the others, and worth elaborating on.

For Alva, there are 24 types of rooms each with 3 tiers, plus the Apex. Th...

We have tools to quickly regenerate levels with specific features, where we can use a "bird's eye view" camera to see if there are any obvious problems. Usually that's enough, unless the problem is extremely rare.

Thanks. Will look into it.

What area is this? We've already fixed many cases of this, but there are still a couple of areas that can do this sometimes.

This will be fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

This is also being fixed. Sorry about that.

This was not intended and will be fixed.

As you have more-or-less shown, there is a 2x weighting for incomplete maps, and 4x weighting for adjacent maps, multiplicative.

So, adjacent maps have been weighted higher than non-adjacent maps (where applicable) ever since the Atlas was introduced back in 2.4.0, to make it easier to explore the Atlas where you want. The empirical evidence here appears to be roughly what's expected.

Sorry if there any accidental misinformation a few leagues ago. It was probably assumed that, since you were asking in relation to a change to complete vs. incomplete map drop weightings, that adjacency was not part of that equation (the numbers in that last question would be correct if all maps were adjacent).

The icon disappears when the corresponding Incursion is complete.

It does mean the Alva encounters. Normally we would say "Added a minimap icon to Alva" but she doesn't actually spawn until you get close so we instead added the icon to the little altar that she stands next to.

It's always interesting to see this stuff "from the other side". Nice work.

However, I would like to correct one thing:

POE doesn't have automated crash handling and error reporting

We do, actually. We've had this for some time... many years, in fact. It just happens automatically. We collect all the client (and server) crash dumps and process them, which gives us a lot of information to help with bugfixing. It also tells us that most client crashes right now are unrelated to multithreading.

You know, we've already fixed a few various problems with multithreading over the years, but since we keep adding new content and new features, not to mention all the refactors, engine upgrades, and performance improvements, it's almost unavoidable that new bugs also trickle in over time. It's really more of an ongoing process than a single bugfix.

I'm sorry if you are experiencing client crashes, due to multithreading or otherw...

He should still say it, but I think he has more possible lines now so it's probably just less common
