The launch of Path of Exile: Keepers of the Flame over the weekend was one of our smoothest launches ever. Thanks to everyone who logged in to try it out!

Since the initial 3.27.0 patch, we've made seven hotfixes which addressed a variety of bug fixes, crashes, and balance changes to the new Breach mechanic. There are additional hotfixes already in the pipeline to address bugs such as the old Breach mechanic still being available in the Temple of Atzoatl, and further balance changes to the new Breach mechanic.

Hive Fortress encounters will soon be receiving some changes to make them easier to complete and less punishing if you fail.

• Ailith will create skills more frequently during Hive Fortress encounters. Note there is a maximum of 6 skill objects active at a time.
  
• Increased the internal cooldown for which Ailith can be damaged. This cooldown becomes longer the more damage she takes from an individual hit. This should help mitigate Ailith being bursted down in a few seconds.
  
• Failing a Hive or Hive Fortress encounter will now drop all the loot of the monsters you had killed up to that point. However, you will not gain any Graftblood or Wombgifts.
  
• Ranged monsters now have to be closer to Ailith in order to attack her.
