Everyone has a fighting chance
When the Betrayal content expansion launches in Path of Exile in December, it’s coming with a new “unified hideout” system that has a lot of players excited. In the intervening week since Betrayal was announced, players have asked a lot of questions about the new feature and GGG devs have taken the time to answer over a dozen covering a wide array of topics.
When Betrayal launches for Path of Exile in December, it will come with a number of big changes to the hideout system, the player’s home away from home. In a new post on the official site, the community is given a brief look at the major changes coming to hideouts.
The Path of Exile site has been updated with a note from Grinding Gear to let the community know that it is finally fulfilling one of its long-standing goals to bring private leagues to players. These private leagues cost about $12 (using PoE Points that are about $1 per point) and include 10 player slots. The League lasts 10 days, though it can be extended up to two months. Players can also add more player slots across a wide variety of prices.
From today’s rumor mill: According to Gematsu, a Digital Game Rating Committee in Taiwan has posted a listing for a PlayStation 4 version of Grinding Gear Games’ Path of Exile. If true, the PS4 version would join the already-existing XBox One and PC versions, though it remains to be seen if there would be any cross play capabilities between the three.
The latest blog on the Path of Exile site lays out the details about some improvements to the game’s latest League, Delve, in the near future. Among other things, players can look forward to shared Azurite and Delve Upgrades across their entire account. The provided list is not to be considered “patch notes”, but rather “a list of concepts we are working on”, according to the post.
Path of Exile players on PC and XBox One can now “DELVE” into the latest content expansion to the game. In Delve, players head underground to discover new treasures galore. The further players head into the mines, the more difficult the encounters become, and all in the dark too.
When the Delve expansion launches for Path of Exile on August 31st, it will come packed with a number of tweaks to balance. Grinding Gear devs have posted a detailed list of systems and abilities that will be changing with Delve’s launch. In addition, and later today, the team will be posting the full update notes “alongside the Item Filter and Passive Tree Data you’ll need to start planning your builds and guides”.
After today’s update, Path of Exile players will have two new Incursion rooms to explore: Torment Cells and Strongbox Chamber. Each will function as other rooms in the Temple and can be upgraded. The Torment Cells upgrades to Torture Cages and then Sadist’s Den. Strongbox Chamber upgrades to Hall of Locks, then Court of Sealed Death. Each room level presents more challenges and, most importantly, more loot!
The Path of Exile site has been updated with a new post to lay out the first details about forthcoming changes to the party system. The party system hasn’t been updated in some time, according to the bog, but improvements will be rolling out in the 3.3.x series of patches.
Path of Exile players who are looking for new challenges have a lot to get excited about today with the launch of the Incursion League for PC. The XBox One version will launch next week.
