Following the recent launch of the Siege of the Atlas expansion for Path of Exile, Grinding Gear Games brings us this announcement outlining the team's plans for the coming weeks and listing a number of hotfixes that have already been deployed. Check it out:
The first week of the Siege of the Atlas expansion is well underway and we wanted to take a moment to give you an update on what we're working on.
Archnemesis Feedback
We're keeping a close eye on feedback regarding the Archnemesis League. If you're interested, we talked more about the thought process behind the recipe system here. Thanks for all of your feedback and suggestions, we will continue monitoring them.
Upcoming FixesOther Notable Issues We Are Aware Of
- Added stash tab search functionality to items influenced by The Searing Exarch or The Eater of Worlds.
- Fixed a bug where public mapping parties were not visible in the Karui Shores or your Hideout via the Noticeboard's Public Parties tab or Social menu. Note that it is normal behaviour that you will only be able to see public parties while they are in a map.
- Selling items to Kirac.
- Fixed an instance where Death and Rebirth was not able to be completed.
- Fixed a bug preventing Shift+V from undoing Expedition explosive placements.
- Fixed a bug where some Helmet Microtransactions would cause heads to disappear.
- Fixed a bug where crafting options for bows were using values for one-handed weapons instead of two-handed weapons.
Sound Issues
There have been a number of miscellaneous audio issues reported which we are aware of and working on fixing, such as missing dialogue and loud death sounds.
Blighted Maps Not Opening
We are still investigating this and will have a fix on the way once it is resolved.
Change the Gem and Flask Stash Tabs to be sorted alphabetically
Currently, gems and flasks in each sort category (i.e. Level or Quality) are being sorted in an inconsistent order. Most-recent gems are being stored on the left side, whereas most-recent flasks are being stored on the right side. We're looking at changing this so they're sorted alphabetically after they've been sorted by their Level/Quality rather than by order placed so that it's more intuitive and consistent.
Add slots to the Fragment Tab for re-rollable Searing Exarch, Eater of Worlds and Maven Invitations
We're working on a way for the Fragment Stash Tab to have the ability to store the craftable invitations from the endgame bosses.
Add a new stat to Blighted Maps to compensate for the removal of Awakening Objective bonuses
Our plan for this is to add a new stat to the existing Blighted Map Notable on the Atlas Passive Tree to compensate for this. We'll provide more details on this when we've confirmed how we want to approach this.
Archnemesis inventory doesn't update search highlights when mod positions are swapped
We are still investigating this issue and will prepare a fix once we have a solution.
Hotfixes
These hotfixes have already been deployed, though if you're still experiencing issues please continue to log bug reports as necessary. We also recommend keeping an eye on the Known Issues thread.
