Path of Exile News

There are just two weeks left until ExileCon and we can't wait to meet our players in person and to show everyone what we've been working on! In the meantime, we've prepared a small update with several fixes which will be deployed this week. Check out a preview of its patch notes below.

Please note that these patch notes may not be final and are still subject to change before the patch.

• The Menagerie's World Panel pin is now hidden until you've actually unlocked it.
  
• Fixed a bug where you would be incorrectly warned that the "Temple of Atzoatl is ready to be explored" when opening an Alva Atlas Mission if you still had active portals to the Temple.
  
• Fixed a bug where Lava Lake Map could spawn slightly fewer monsters than intended.
  
• Fixed a bug where the Minion Modifiers on the Convoking Wand basetype did not display their tiers when viewing their Advanced Mod Descriptions.
  
• Fixed a bug where Wave of Conviction's travel distance could be shorter than intended if a previous use of the skill was stopped short by hitting a wall or some other object. This corrected itself when the player moved.
  
• Fixed a bug where some Trap Throwing Speed and Mine Throwing Speed modifiers were not reflected in the character sheet. This was solely a visual bug.
  
• Fixed a bug where the Cleave skill used by Kitava's Herald and Blight Herald was missing its visual effects.
  
• Fixed a bug where the skeleton effect from Stygian Flame Dash did not always display correctly on Predictive networking mode.
  
• Fixed a bug where the Vaal Seal hideout decorations were not granted to players that bought the Corrupted Hideout. We will be manually granting these to players that have already purchased the Corrupted Hideout if they did not receive them.
  
• Fixed a bug where some buffs displayed a buff icon and description that wasn't meant to be seen. Oops!
  
• Fixed a client crash that could occur when applying various weapon effects to a weapon with the Harlequin Weapon Skin applied to it.
  

We've just released the Eye in the Back, a back attachment that literally adds a blue eye to the back of your Exile. If you can't get enough of the blue eyes from the Sentinel Overlord Supporter Pack, why not enhance your sharp look with another eye? Have a glance at the new back attachment by watching the video below or press M in game to get yours.
