Patch notes

These are the official patch notes for version 2.1.0 released by Grinding Gear Games.

Important Note

• Due to substantial balance changes, every existing character has been granted an optional full passive reset. To use this, click the "Reset all Passives" button on the passive skill screen. Note that you must use this before allocating or refunding any other points otherwise the option will go away.

Support for Brazilian Portuguese

• We have launched in Brazil! Path of Exile is now optionally available in Brazilian Portuguese. Brazilian users can play on servers in São Paulo which are part of the existing Path of Exile realm.
• Path of Exile now supports multiple languages on the same realm. You can select the language either in the launcher or the in-game options screen. We plan to release other languages next year.
• We now support multiple languages of chat channels and public parties. You can set your default language for chat and public parties in the options independently of your client language.
• Please respect the language of public parties and global chat channels. If you use the wrong language, you may be muted by a moderator.
• You can temporarily enter a global or trade chat channel in another language by using a chat command. Append the name of the language to the channel name. "/global 1 en" or "/global 1 english" ("br", "pt" and "portuguese" work also).

Talisman Challenge Leagues

• Challenge leagues are a great opportunity for a fresh start in a new economy. All your old characters and items are still present in the Standard and Hardcore leagues, but you're encouraged to join the new leagues, complete challenges and climb the ladder!
• With 2.1.0, both the Standard and Hardcore challenge leagues are variations of the Talisman challenge league. They have the same core mechanics but slightly different items available.
• In the Talisman challenge leagues, monsters have been possessed by ancient Ezomyte Talismans. These monsters are indicated by green Talisman symbols over their heads. The Talismans grant them additional strength and properties in battle. Killing one of these monsters allows you to claim its Talisman for yourself.
• There are several tiers of Talismans, each with many different types available. There are some base types specific to the Standard version of the league and some specific to the Hardcore version of the League.
• All Talismans have extremely powerful implicit mods, but spawn in a corrupted state so that they can't be crafted. You can use sets of five different Talismans of the same tier at special Stone Circles to summon a monster possessed by a higher-tier Talisman. The rarity of the output Talisman is selected at random from the five input ones.
• If you use five third-tier Talismans at a Stone Circle, you summon a portal to an area where you can fight Rigwald, the Wolven King. He is possessed by a special fourth-tier Talisman that has two random Talisman properties.
• There are 12 new Unique Items that can be found in the Talisman leagues, including four that only drop from Rigwald himself. These items are detailed in a later section of the patch notes below.
• The new challenge leagues include a set of 32 new challenges. You will receive a piece of the exclusive Rigwald's Armour Set for each seven challenges completed. This armour set is only awarded during the Talisman challenge leagues.
• From the eighteenth challenge onwards and for every second challenge after that, you receive pieces of a Talisman Totem Pole decoration that can be displayed in your hideout. The Totem Pole permanently displays how many of the Talisman challenges you completed during these leagues.

New Content

• Added three new Rogue Exiles: Dena Lorenni, Lael Furia and Vanth Agiel.
• The art has been changed on several flasks to create a better progression.
• Added 3D art for Trolltimber Spire, Incandescent Heart and the alternate art items from the Soulthirst Race Season: The Princess, Eclipse Staff, Soul Taker and Crest of Perandus.
• Continued to incrementally improve the sound, art, effects and environments.

New Features

• You can now have two pets out at once. The Reclaim Pet button above the microtransaction stash can be used to reclaim one or both of them.
• Maps found in mission subareas of maps are now allocated to the maker of the original map.
• More options have been added for abandoning Master Missions. The "Abandon Mission" talk option is now available even if you haven't received the mission. You can now also talk to other Masters in your hideout and they too will have an "Abandon Mission" option if any daily portal is open.
• Being muted globally no longer prevents you talking in Guild Chat.
• Jewels and Vaal fragments are now allocated to players in the various item allocation modes.
• Enemies ignited by skills that have a Ghostflame microtransaction effect now visually burn with Ghostflame fire.
• You can now type /reset_xp in chat to reset the experience-per-hour estimation tool.
• Added support for liquid armour as an impact sound type (for Water Elementals and similar monsters).
• We've made performance improvements to ground effects. They now use considerably less bandwidth and server resources. Disconnections or lockstep stuttering near ground effects should occur far less often.

General Balance Changes

• Characters now get 6 mana per level instead of 4.
• Point Blank now has less of a penalty to ranged damage, scaling down to 50% of normal damage. Previously it scaled down to no damage at maximum range. This affects both the support gem and the Keystone.
• We have changed the way that bonuses from non-flask items (notably several unique belts) applied while drinking a flask work. Previously, these worked by augmenting each flask to give it the associated bonus effect. This meant they would be wasted if using multiple flasks, because flask bonus effects don't stack. Now, these are treated as conditional bonuses that are in effect as long as any of your flasks are active, similar to "on low life" bonuses. This means they are no longer buff-like flask effects that are modified by flask effect modifiers. These are now worded as "[effect] while using a Flask" to make the new behaviour more clear. Local "during Flask Effect" bonuses on flasks themselves are unaffected by this change.
• Spells that reduce movement speed now do so with a new debuff called "Hinder". You can only have one Hinder effect on you at once, so multiple movement-slowing spells will not stack. This is currently used on Abyssal Cry and the new Wither skill.
• Rather than dealing the damage of the highest hit (as Ignite does), poison can now have multiple stacks. This means that every hit counts, rather than just the occasional big hit. This also lets it scale much better towards end-game, and differentiates it from other damage-over-time effects.
• Poison can now only be applied by Chaos and Physical damage. This is for both thematic reasons, and to have it act as a reward for builds that have less of a focus on auras and elemental supports for damage boosts.
• These poison changes are also reflected in monsters.

Item Balance Changes

• Surgeon's Flasks now have a chance to gain a charge on critical strike, rather than being unconditional. Old flasks are unmodified.
• The required and drop level of resistance and item find rings has changed from level 12. Sapphire RingsSapphire RingRequires Level 8+(20-30)% to Cold Resistance appear from level 8, Topaz RingsTopaz RingRequires Level 12+(20-30)% to Lightning Resistance from level 12, Ruby RingsRuby RingRequires Level 16+(20-30)% to Fire Resistance from level 16 and Gold RingsGold RingRequires Level 20(6-15)% increased Rarity of Items found from level 20.

• Introduced the new Nihilist's prefix mod that grants +1 level to Chaos Gems. This is available only on Wands, Staves, Daggers and Spirit Shields.

Map Balance Changes

• Areas created by Vaal Fragments in map devices are now two levels higher.
• The Terrace and Mine maps now generate with better pathing and more consistent layouts.
• The Volcano map has been updated to be more open and to contain more monsters.
• Sallazzang (the Terrace Map boss) no longer performs its "machine gun ethereal knives" skill, as it was unfair to players. Sallazang instead spawns more devourers. This boss is now much easier than it was before but is still entertaining to encounter. Tier Seven maps were underplayed and this was one of the factors.
• Shock and Horror (the Torture Chamber boss), now has her totems die when she dies. Her spawn no longer create lightning storms when they die.

Monster Balance Changes

• The rare resistance aura mods will no longer occur on monsters before level 40.
• A short instance-wide cooldown has been added to many monster skills. Monsters with "bursty" skills have had this cooldown applied to reduce player deaths from fast, hard-to-predict damage. This includes skills such as Leap Slam, Flicker Strike, Shield Charge, Lightning Warp and Arctic Breath. Most of the affected skills are appropriate as initiation skills, but are not ideal when many monsters perform them simultaneously.
• After fixing a bug that caused the bleed from Atziri's puncture skill to do negligible damage, you should expect to take more bleed damage from her spear puncture attacks. It now deals around deals 12 times more damage when not moving and 2.5 times as much damage when moving.
• Torchoak Grove, the unique Vakali Totem from Kaom's Dream has had a variety of bug fixes and reductions to damage in order to reduce his unreasonable lethality.
• Nightwane (the unique Voll's Vanguard monster in The Dried Lake) and the Mirage of Bones have had their life halved. Visual changes have been made to make them and their clones larger, so they stand out from normal monsters in the area. AI changes have been made to Mirage of Bones to make him less clone-spammy. You should be able to identify him better by the fact he moves more frequently.
• Kall Foxfly, the unique Shadow Archer in The Riverways, has had his damage reduced. His Cruel and Merciless Lightning Arrow attacks have been further reduced in damage.
• Vaal Fallen and Colossal Vaal Fallen monsters no longer always get critical strikes, but will now always inflict status ailments. The damage has been increased to compensate.
• Monsters that use the skill now have their own dedicated version so that it can be balanced separately. There have been various rebalances, but in general it has been made stronger at high levels.
• Rakango monsters now appear in maps less frequently.
• Volcanic Golems can now appear in maps.

Master Balance Changes

• Zana's limited-portal missions have been changed. Upon speaking to Zana, the quest tracker on the right says "Don't die or leave Zana's Map". This reminder will stay with you inside the map. Zana will now open one portal per player in the area OR per player in your party, whichever is greater. If you leave Zana's map, you cannot re-enter it, even if there are still portals up. If you die or leave Zana's map, you fail the mission. Entering map subareas doesn't count as leaving the mission.
• The Warbands Zana mod is now available at Zana level 7 and costs 12 Chaos Orbs.
• The Tempest Zana mod is now available at Zana level 6 and costs 6 Chaos Orbs.

Skill Damage Effectiveness Changes

Raging Spirits are now more likely to target enemies who are attacked by fewer Raging Spirits, except when enemies are close to the caster.
• The penalties to the life and energy shield of Summoned Spectres have been halved at all levels.

Melee Attack Skill Balance Changes

• Attack skills that have their damage based on the wielded weapon have their mana costs fixed in place from level 1 onwards. Increasing the level of the gem does not increase the mana cost of the skill. still increases in mana cost, as the mana is also paying for the minions.
• now gains increased area of effect radius of 1% for each level after the first.
• There was a display bug that caused to show the wrong DPS value and attack speed.
