It's amazing how hard you are working with Path of Exile. I can't wait to see the moment where all your effort will be rewarded. Greetings.

[li]Added two new world areas, currently called the "Ancient Pyramid" and the "Old Fields Cave".[/li]

just regular maps, right ? nothing about increasing experience curve or higher endgame lvl areas ?

[li]More than doubled the number of Unique Items in the game.[/li]

do we have some fix amount of quantity/rarity to find any ? i played a lot and didnt get one yet :D

[li]Removed the Submerged Passage Level 2 waypoint. Added a Rocky Climb waypoint. Moved some other waypoints around to random locations within their maps[/li]

gonna be interesting now.

Chris wrote:

[li]Fixed up the vendors that sell you items so that they offer a more reasonable selection of items at more appropriate prices. They now have some permanent currency items in their offered goods.[/li]

im still thinking why there is no such things like rares possibility at vendor at some appropriate prices. dunno if the change is the same as i just wrote but i really hope for some rare rares in shops sometimes ;)

[li]We're now biasing towards higher item base types extremely strongly for most item types. This means that it's much easier to stay up to date with the current highest item type for each slot. For example, if a bow drops in the Maelstrom of Chaos, there's a ~40% chance that it's the level 58 bow.[/li]

40% sounds quite high now. lets hope it wont be too high ;) but yeah im looking forward to it. also i didnt see much about bosses - can we expect the same as in 0.9.4 poor drops ?

[li]Made Explosive Arrow more powerful. The damage has been increased and the fuse time is now one second.[/li]
[li]Split Arrow mana costing increased based on number of arrows.[/li]
[li]Increased the damage bonus granted by the Added Cold, Added Lightning and Added Chaos Damage Support Gems.[/li]

looks like some really interesting changes here. as i didnt like split arrow much and was using poison arrow with multi proj im rather afraid of this:

[li]Fixed Poison Arrow and Viper Strike so that damage from their degeneration is scaled properly for PvP.[/li]

does it affect also normal pve ? i suppose its way lowered for pvp.

23:30 in NZ now, right?

when will be "early on their workday"?

cant wait to check the new stuff :D

rarity n quantity find was easy and simple to stack

farming orbs was tedious but with a hour or 2 u could get 20-30 orbs easily.

i don't see why rarity or quantity would be changed

anyone who had issues with it, was simply user error.

what an ignorant post here ... first did i wrote anything about rarity/quantity changes ? second did i wrote anything about orbs (i dont see the point even here, are you talking about rarity/quantity affecting orbs or creating uniques by orbs ?). Third - try stacking them at melee character, especially 2 handed.

Where in the world were you finding that many orbs in that play time, lvl 1-61 and most of it with well over 200% to rarity with a skill mod and quantity stacked up over 80% I never saw more than a couple orbs per hour at best. Let me get my boots on , its getting deep in here.

Do you play as Cheetos? If so you're the same egotistical troll that I added to my ignore list after a few sentences in your elitist crap in global. I figure a few people did the same. Either you're spouting more crap and/or lies and misinformation, or you're just very lucky and RNG loves you.

Oh nice. Good update again.

Oh rly? I stacked rarity and STILL have yet to find a unique.

Sooo, when are we going to get skills that give power charges?
