Path of Exile News

With the Sentinel League ending soon, you may be wondering whether this mechanic becomes a part of Path of Exile's core game.

The answer is no, for now. The league would take some changes before it would be appropriate to become a core Path of Exile mechanic, and while this is something we're interested in looking into in the future, it's not the time now.

When the Sentinel League ends in a few weeks, all of your existing Power Cores and Sentinels will be deleted.

Recombinators won't drop anymore, but the existing ones will continue to work in Standard and will become progressively more scarce as they are consumed. We know that you really enjoyed the crafting options provided by Recombinators, and we are looking for a way to bring them back in the future. If and when we do so, existing Recombinators will likely change their function to work however the new ones function. We'll signal this in the news beforehand so that you can make sure to consume existing ones if you prefer how they used to work.

In the meantime, you still have some time left to complete your unfinished challenges in the league before we say goodbye to the Sentinels.

Last week, Lead Developer Chris Wilson had the opportunity to sit down and have a chat with Josh Strife Hayes about game design philosophies and more about Path of Exile. Josh has uploaded the video to his channel, which you can check out below!

Later this week, we're planning to deploy Patch 3.18.1d which includes a few improvements and bug fixes. In this news post we've prepared a preview of its patch notes.

The following patch notes are still subject to change prior to the patch's deployment. We'll deploy the 3.18.1d update on consoles as soon as possible after its release on PC.

3.18.1d Patch Notes

This patch contains a handful of improvements and bug fixes, alongside fixes for a couple of client crashes.

• Divine Vessels are now able to modify Maps while you have the Stream of Consciousness Atlas Keystone Passive allocated.
  
• The Soul Conduit monster modifier now raises a maximum of 30 nearby monsters to fight again on death.
  
• Fixed a bug where defeating Aul, the Crystal King was not granting credit towards The Forsaken Masters achievement.
  
• Fixed a client crash that could occur when re-entering the Absence of Symmetry and Harmony.
  
• Fixed a client crash that could occur at the end of a PvP match.
