Path of Exile - What's Next?

The folks at Grinding Gear Games have recently launched the War for the Atlas expansion for their action-RPG Path of Exile. With that done, they're now thinking about taking a much deserved holiday break before launching into full development of the next major update for the game (it should be ready by March 2018). However, a few issues still stand between the GGG devs and their break. Those are currently being worked on and should be resolved relatively soon. Here's what they are:

  • Spell Echo and Multistrike no longer repeatedly casts or attacks for certain minions. We have a fix for this already but it requires further testing. It will be deployed relatively soon.
  • The Amanamu encounter has an error where sometimes the boss will perform no actions. There are some fixes that were introduced recently but there are likely to be more coming.
  • Strongboxes that revive slain Abyss monsters causes these monsters to be invulnerable.
  • Currently when you mouse-click the Flask UI to consume a charge the timer is prevented from displaying.
  • Heretic's Veil is incorrectly displaying "reduced effect of Socketed Jewels".
  • The debuff icon can overlap with the Rampage kill counter.
  • The Zana mission to kill Corrupted Bosses in Pen Map is not able to be completed.
  • Linking mystery boxes in chat does not display the mystery box correctly.
  • Blood Offering is able to be used in conjunction with other Offering skills.
  • The 'Echoes of Witchcraft' prophecy is unable to be completed in the Western Forest in Act 6.
  • The Darkshrine effect to make Izaro drop an additional unique item does not work.
  • The location of the 'Abandon Mission' button on Vagan is in the wrong location on the menu.
  • "Projectiles gain 18% of Non-Chaos Damage as extra Chaos Damage per Chain" doesn't work correctly if you only have 1 chain.
  • The hitbox size of the entrance to Abyssal Depths is too large.
  • A monster can spawn with Inner Treasure but won't drop a unique.
  • The Eradicator can sometimes become invisible making the fight impossible to complete.
  • Re-entering Spires of Delusion sometimes causes the game to crash.
  • Various issues with The Poet's Pen are being investigated.
  • Detonate Mines sometimes fails to detonate if you try to detonate it while running.
  • It is possible to have "Socketed Gems are Supported by Level 38 Poison". This is an issue with the display only.
  • Fixing Volley with Magma Orb projectiles so they continue to go parallel after they bounce.
  • We are working on fixing various causes of client crash.
  • Using Body Swap with Spell Totem currently doesn't work for targeting Kitava.
  • Optional Quests (for example, A Dirty Job) are sometimes displayed in the quest tracker while in Maps.
