Content Update 3.26.0 — Path of Exile: Secrets of the Atlas

might as well rename the game to path of exiles, since they want everyone to group now

GGG: "It's gonna be the most juiced content ever released."

Also GGG: "...for the party players. Also, we're punishing solo players with altar and scarab nerfs."

It was a weird decision to make after a year of no content and bad PR.

I guess they really like bad PR.

the sanctum change is literally "we have no ideia what we are doing, but people are complaining so let's do something about it", sanctum is op at EARLY LEAGUE, people dislike the fact that the people that just go straigth to sanctum, don't even finish the campaign, start farming a lot of raw currency and divines with 4 hours into the league, but the end game sanctum ilvl 83 is completly diferent, you need a crazy good character and expensive relics to make it worth, and 90% of the leagues, it's not even close to end game mapping, and to farm it efficiently you need at least an 100 div character and 100 div relic setup

So what I've read here is Memories are completely removed from the game so RIP endgame crafting and, Splitting Steel (The only skill I've enjoyed playing for 4 patches in a row gets an unnecessary proj returning) nerf without a single MTX for the skill. I was genuinely excited for the league but upon reading the patch notes I might just give up the game all together.

-4k hours of my life

:peace-sign:

The Sanctum nerfs are honestly baffling, considering the investment of both time and currency necessary to farm it at a proficient level. Not to mention the time investment of a full run in and of itself. Paired with the evisceration of Hexblast, one of the best skills for running Sanctum, I can only guess that if it weren't for the unique items in there Sanctum might've been shuttered entirely for a time.

I firmly believe this will only invert matters, rendering Sanctum simply too little gain for too much expenditure. And the fact this nerf to one of the best solo mechanics for raw currency is in the same update as the buff to raw currency dropped in party play leaves your intentions as clear as a freshly washed window.

Party play or ... I guess because I have no friends and trust issues, I cannot play trade league this time around. Thanks.

what are you guys waiting for? revert that party play bullshit. Thanks

Please remove the party play buffs or scale them back significantly. This is truly going to make solo play a terrible experience in the trade league.

I figured we'd see an SSF buff before we ever seen an unnecessary party buff.
