We hope you're having a great holiday!

The Atlas Invasion Event Starts Soon

In the upcoming Atlas Invasion event every area in Path of Exile will be invaded by 5 endgame map bosses! The event starts at Noon December 24th PST and will be running for 10 days. For more information about the prizing check out this announcement or have a look at our event calendar.

We've seen a few people asking whether or not Scourge is an included mechanic in the Atlas Invasion and Delirium Everywhere events. We just wanted to take a moment to clarify that it isn't enabled for those events but you can continue to play in the Scourge League which runs parallel to them.

Twitch Drops will be running for the first day of the Atlas Invasion event. This time you'll be able to receive the Malachai Portal Effect after 2 hours of accumulated watch time on any channel streaming Path of Exile on Twitch during the first day of this event.

If you'd like your Exile to face the horrors of the Atlas in a fancy outfit, this weekend we're hosting a sale on a huge assortment of popular Path of Exile microtransactions, including Celestial, Twilight, Glimmerwood, Angels and Demons and other cosmetic effects. In case you need extra points for this sale, check out the new Core Supporter Packs which were released earlier this week.

Have a great weekend everyone! Come back tomorrow to unwrap your holiday Mystery Box!


Community Designed Microtransaction - Design Options

We're continuing our latest community designed microtransaction series today by opening up a poll for you to pick which Epic and Dark Wing design you'd like to see. The options available in this poll are based on your suggestions from our most recent post in the series.

This poll will be open for one week. After this, we'll get you to decide between the top two ideas. Finally, we refine the top choice for the last few stages of this process. We can't wait to see what you decide!

To join the poll, head over to the news post on our forum by clicking here.

Changes to Map Conversion Functionality

Later this week (likely on Tuesday, December 21st at 4pm PST) we'll deploy a fix to an issue in Standard league that would fail the conversion of the entire map stash tab upon converting an old map into another map that you didn't have enough room for. As a result of this fix, the map stash (and guild map stash) functionality has been changed to the following:
  • Your first purchased map stash will always be set to the current map series.
  • If the map series changes and your map stash is not empty, it will become remove-only and you will get a new empty map stash set to the current series.
  • You can only change the map series on a map stash if you still have at least one non-remove-only map stash set to the current series after the change. This means that you won't be able to change the map stash series to store legacy maps if you have only purchased one map stash. Because of this, we'll be offering a refund option to anyone who bought a single map stash solely for collecting legacy maps. Please contact our customer support at [email protected] if this is the case for you.
  • Convert Maps no longer converts the current map stash in-place. It instead converts as many maps as it can find space for in your non-remove-only current series map stash(es). If you run out of space for specific converted maps, they will be left in the source map stash unconverted.
  • Convert Maps now has a progress bar and can be cancelled/resumed.
