Path of Exile: Mirage - What We're Working On

Over the weekend, we’ve launched Path of Exile: Mirage. Thanks to everyone who logged in to try out the new league!

So far we've deployed 11 hotfixes to address a variety of crashes and bugs. The team continues to work on hotfixes as they investigate your reports and feedback, and we should have the most common issues addressed very soon.

We've got plenty of things on our radar currently, but here are some examples of what we're working on:

Many instances of the Currency Exchange showing removed items and not showing new ones have been fixed internally and will be hotfixed in the client shortly.
Improving the visibility of maps not yet completed on the Atlas.
Improving the visibility of Caches in Mirages.
Fixing cases where certain UI elements (in Delve, for example) are not selectable.
Fixing an issue where users in permanent leagues are unable to progress their Atlas state.
We're also making many individual improvements to the experience of the new Atlas system.
Fixing an issue where Memory Thread currency was not dropping from Memory Tears after completing all the Memory Lines quests.
Soul of Lunaris' 6% reduced Elemental Damage taken if you have been Hit Recently has been changed from Iceberg Map to instead be Beach Map.
Ability to have buffs persist through area transitions from one combat area to another, with Shrine Buffs likely to be the first to get this treatment.

We are aware of the server issues that affect some of our players, and we are working hard to resolve them as soon as we can.

As a reminder, week one Twitch Drops are now active, so remember to link your Twitch account to your Path of Exile account and claim your Mirage Quicksilver Flask Effect and Imprisoned Djinn Merchant by supporting a streamer.

Path of Exile director Mark Roberts isn't afraid to change "very ancient and often low-quality content"

Path of Exile 3.28, the ARPG's new 'Mirage' update, brings its previous league, Keepers of the Flame, to the core game. While it's relatively common for developer Grinding Gear Games to adapt old seasonal mechanics into a more permanent, if less dramatic, incarnation that sticks around for good, this one feels a little different. Keepers was the RPG's first-ever 'sequel league,' introducing a new and evolved form of Breach. With its integration into the main game, that means the old-school incarnation of Breach is essentially gone.

We also wanted to note that we are aware of the feedback regarding challenge rewards and are planning to introduce four different cosmetic rewards next league rather than pieces from a single Armour Set. Going forward, we are keen to have a rotation of challenge rewards, where one league would feature an Armour Set and the next one would feature a selection of different microtransactions.
