Issue

This is a copy of Eternal and Diamond Supporter Newsletter #43, published by Grinding Gear Games.

Hey Diamond, Eternal and Unique Item Creator Supporters,

Today we are mostly focussed on getting 1.0.4 ready in time to be QAed this week. As we are deploying it on Monday next week, we basically need to be happy with with the patch by Friday.

We are also enjoying looking at all the t-shirt designs that have been submitted for the Path of Exile/J!NX t-shirt design competition. You can see the entries here: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/698496

Please note that we may be very slow to respond to unique item emails over the holiday period.

1.0.4 Uniques

This patch is likely to include some more Brother Laz unique items, as well as two supporter unique items.
