Path of Exile News

Our Mayhem event started over the weekend and it has been absolute chaos! We've gathered a few clips from Twitch to give you a taste of what's going on. Check them out on our forum here!

Mayhem ends at 12pm November 14th (PST). This means you still have a week to join the event! For more information about Mayhem or our other upcoming events, check out the events thread here.

Best of luck to those participating!

As soon as the Kalandra League ends, both the Lake of Kalandra Supporter Packs and the current Kirac's Vault Pass will permanently leave the store. Be sure to pick them up before they make way for their next series!

When the Kalandra League ends in a few weeks, the current items available in Kirac's Vault Pass will be sealed away forever and replaced with new, exclusive cosmetic effects alongside the launch of our next expansion. The cosmetics in the pass for consoles will be replaced alongside our next expansion's console launch. Check out the unique item skins in the video below or get your Pass in-game by pressing M to open the store.

We'll be announcing the new Supporter Packs that will be replacing the Lake of Kalandra Supporter Packs in our next livestream announcement. We'll be posting information about the livestream once it's been confirmed, so keep your eye on the news! In the meantime, be sure to grab your Knight and Rogue packs before they are gone forever.

Yesterday we announced Ruthless, a new way for players to make their journey through Wraeclast even more challenging. The community has had a lot of questions about Ruthless, so today we've gathered the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions.


Some gameplay situations become very difficult without the ability to use movement skills, such as Grasping Vines. Is this something that is being taken into consideration or is this part of the challenge?
It's something we'll take in consideration. The way we're looking at it is if a mechanic is impossible without being able to teleport away, it should be changed for both Ruthless and the core game.


Have items that grant movement skills been removed as well?
Items that grant movement skills are currently still obtainable, but the skills they grant will have longer cooldowns. We'll be keeping an eye on this in the lead up to the 3.20 expansion and may modify them if needed.


Do stash tabs function normally in Ruthless?
Yes.


Are you able to join a party with other players in Ruthless?
Yes, unless you've also selected Solo Self-found.


Why will challenges not be available in Ruthless during the 3.20 expansion?
Challenges will be disabled for 3.20 because some may not be completable in Ruthless (for example, some content might be disabled while we continue to work on it, but ideally we will have everything in that we intend to be part of Ruthless). We'll try to sort out some solution for challenges in Ruthless from 3.21 onwards.


Is Ruthless taking the place of the 3.20 expansion?
No. Ruthless is additional content coming out alongside the 3.20 expansion.


Is there a default item filter for Ruthless?
No. Due to the scarcity of item drops in Ruthless, a default item filter is unlikely to be necessary.


Is Ruthless being used to test balance changes that are intended for the main game?
No. Balance changes made to Ruthless have no bearing on the main game. If we feel a change is good for the main game, we'll just make it there as well.


Will we be able to make Ruthless private leagues?
We currently plan to have the option to make Ruthless private leagues for the 3.20 expansion.


Will all past league content be available in Ruthless?
The intention is that all past leagues will be available, but some appear in different forms. Content from past leagues is encountered less often than in regular Path of Exile.


Is Ruthless available on consoles?
Yes.


Will Ruthless have its own achievements?
We don't currently have any new achievements planned specifically for Ruthless.
