Path of Exile News

On behalf of everyone at Grinding Gear Games, we'd like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and happy holidays! As is tradition, we've prepared a gift! To celebrate the conclusion of another great development year, we're offering everyone a free Polaris Mystery Box.

To redeem a free Polaris Mystery Box all you need to do is to open the in-game shop! The Mystery Box will be automatically added to your account. Please note that visiting the shop on the website does not trigger the free box - it must be accessed from inside the game client.

To receive a free Polaris Mystery Box, your account has to have been created prior to today. It's only possible to get one box per account.

The free mystery box will stop being available at 3am on January 8th (PST).

We hope you're having a great holiday!

It's Christmas day in New Zealand and we want to take a moment to wish Happy Holidays to the entire Path of Exile community! Whether you're already enjoying your vacation or still busy with finishing your last tasks at work, we hope you'll have a wonderful day.

Don't forget to come back tomorrow for your annual free Mystery Box!

Last week we released the new Polaris Mystery Box. Designed in a futuristic style, this Mystery Box instantly became one of the most popular ones we ever released! As an appreciation for your support, we're making the soundtrack of the Polaris Mystery Box available as a free download.

To download the Polaris Mystery Box soundtrack, click (or Right-click, “Save link as”) on the file type you prefer: .flac or .mp3.

Speaking of soundtrack: we've updated the Hideout Music Player with five themes of new Conquerors and Tane's Laboratory theme. You can find them under the 'Expansions' section.

If you enjoy music, created by our composer Kamil, check out his Soundcloud here or YouTube channel.

The second week of the Metamorph League has begun. It's also the start of the holiday period at Grinding Gear Games and many of our developers are finally getting some rest and relaxation after an incredibly busy year. This week is also one of the busiest weeks for gaming in the year, so some of our developers have staggered their holidays until later so that they can be around to maintain Path of Exile while their colleagues take some time off. In this post we'd like to outline our plans for the remaining weeks of this year.

Here is a list of high-priority issues that we're working on at the moment and are keen to fix as soon as possible:

• Not enough eyes are dropping in the Metamorph encounters.
  
• On Windows 7, the game consumes too much memory.
  
• Non-boss unique monsters in maps are able to drop Metamorph organs.
  
• Sirus' storm can sometimes appear at the entrance of Oriath.
  
• Metamorph bosses can't be frozen.
  
• Various rare instance and client crashes.
  

You can find the rest of the known issues here. We're also continuing to review your feedback regarding the Sirus fight and will be making necessary improvements where possible.

Thank you for your continued feedback!
