Community Showcase

We're excited to see the fan art that our community continues to create, inspired by Path of Exile. It's been a while since the last fan art showcase, so we feel it's time to show off our players' latest creations! Check them out below:

What We're Working On

It's been five days since the launch of the Conquerors of the Atlas expansion and the Metamorph Challenge League! The team is continuing to go through your feedback and reports, as well as working on patches with improvements. In this news post we want to give you an update about some of the issues that we are working on fixing as soon as possible.

These are the issues which have been fixed internally and are currently being tested:
  • Players with AMD GPUs sometimes crashing when encountering Tane Octavius.
  • Crash with Pestilent Strike being used on a Metamorph.
  • Crash when throwing dynamite in the Azurite Mine for Windows 7 users.
  • The Watchstone Altar can cause loot to be trapped inside of it.
  • Placing a Metamorph Sample in the Anoint Items UI causes a client crash.

The following issues are still being worked on and have high priority.
  • Citadels sometimes can't spawn on the Atlas.
  • Issues with migrating characters from SSF.
  • Issues upon converting Legacy maps into new versions in the Map Stash Tab.

For ongoing updates, keep an eye on the Known Issues List. If you find any errors, please report them in the bug report forum where they can be processed by our QA team. They're not able to reply to every thread but rest assured that they do see and process all reports that come in.

Thank you again for your continued feedback!

Metamorph Concept Art

We know that many of you enjoy seeing the concept art created by our talented artists, so in this news post we've gathered some concept images of Tane and the Metamorph Portal. Check them out below:







The Polaris Mystery Box

You can't have a shadow without some light. Explore the paradox that has captured mankind's attention for millennia in the Polaris Mystery Box which contains 38 new Black and White cosmetics effects. Pick a side, or mix and match these stunning microtransactions!

Each Mystery Box costs 30 points and guarantees one microtransaction with value equal to or greater than that of the box. Many of these mystery box cosmetics can be combined to create a blended version of the two designs for even deeper character customisation. The possible outcomes from your mystery box range in value from 30 points all the way up to 320 points!

The average reward is worth 110 points, which is more than three times the cost of the box. Check out the full trailer to see what's available!

  • New endgame storyline that takes place in the aftermath of the War for the Atlas
  • Socket Watchstones into the Atlas to customise your endgame by upgrading maps
  • Uncover hidden worlds and encounters as your progress deeper into the Atlas
  • Five challenging new endgame bosses that yield powerful items

  • Collect Monster Samples and Build your Own Bosses. Take on additional risk for greater reward
  • In the end-game, combine Map Bosses to create the ultimate Metamorph Encounter
