Will Lake of Kalandra Become a Core Path of Exile Mechanic?

Recently we announced that the ongoing Kalandra League will be extended for a few weeks. While this gives you more time to complete the challenges, you may be wondering if the Lake of Kalandra stays in Path of Exile.

For now, the Lake will not become a part of the core game. When the league ends, all your existing Mirrored Tablets will be deleted, so if you have some stocked, now is a good time to use them.

While we may bring the Lake of Kalandra mechanic back in some form in the future, we don't have any plans we can announce at the moment.

We will announce the exact date of Kalandra League's end soon. Keep an eye on the news!

Design a T-Shirt Competition Winners

The Design a T-Shirt Competition came to a close last week. There was a staggering amount of incredible submissions, which has made selecting winners very difficult. Today we're happy to announce our favourite T-shirt designs!

These selections were based on the following criteria: how clearly they represent Path of Exile and how well they'll work on a T-shirt in terms of the impression they'll leave and how difficult it would be to print them. We're still investigating the possibility of creating t-shirts based on one or more of the winning submissions.

We want to thank everyone who submitted their design. It is always a pleasure to see how many talented and creative players we have in our community. We'll be contacting the winners from this post over the next few days to arrange your prizes.

Path of Exile leveling needs a Diablo 3 style Adventure mode, say fans

Fans who say that Path of Exile leveling feels tedious and repetitive are calling upon the fantasy game's developer, Grinding Gear games, to spice up the process of reaching endgame maps. During their soul-searching, one solution in particular appears to have leapt out - the Diablo 3 Adventure mode, an alternate campaign option in the Blizzard RPG game that allows players to level quickly without having to follow the base story progression.
