Path of Exile - CommunityTeam_GGG

In preparation for the Path of Exile: Scourge expansion, we've gathered up all the Item Filter information you need as well as the changes to the Ascendancy classes to help you get ready for the launch.

If you're not sure what to do with this information, don't worry too much! We'll update Path of Exile's built-in item filter alongside the launch of the Scourge expansion. We've posted the changes to Ascendancy classes in a separate news post which you can check out here.

While we have you here, we also wanted to clarify that Tornados are only affected by projectiles that can collide with enemies. Skills like Rolling Magma and Cremation can't use their projectiles to add to Tornado's damage.

The Path of Exile: Scourge Announcement is Tomorrow!

Path of Exile - CommunityTeam_GGG

On October 14th at noon PDT, we'll reveal the full details of our upcoming Scourge expansion via an exclusive livestream. This post contains everything you need to know before the livestream starts.

Before we get started, make sure you check out the teaser video below!

What time does it start?

The livestream will start at noon PDT on October 14th. If in doubt, check out the countdown on the front page of our website.

What can I expect?

We'll start the livestream by revealing the trailer for Path of Exile: Scourge followed by a deep dive into all of the new content and features that are being introduced in the expansion.

Following the reveals, ZiggyD will join Chris Wilson live for a Q&A with questions from Twitch chat. The entire livestream, including the Q&A, will most likely be just over an hour long.

Where can I watch?

Tune in at http://www.twitch.tv/pathofexile to watch the livestream. We also welcome co-streaming of the announcement so you'll be able to watch the stream alongside your favourite streamers on their channels. Be sure to encourage them to get involved!

Will Twitch Drops be enabled?

Yes, Twitch Drops for the Dragonfly Wings will be enabled from the start of the livestream until 6pm PDT for all channels streaming Path of Exile during that time.

You will get your Dragonfly Wings after 45 minutes of accumulated watch time during this period. This means that the drop is guaranteed for everyone who has watched any Path of Exile stream for this amount of time. This promotion is available for all accounts.

As a precaution due to recent issues with Twitch, we would recommend relinking your account prior to the event to ensure you don't miss out. For more information on linking your Twitch and Path of Exile accounts, click here.

Where can I view the reveals if I miss the livestream?

Our regular announcement page will unlock once information has been revealed on the livestream. Keep an eye on the news forum as well for additional information following the livestream. The announcement will also be available on our YouTube channel following the livestream.

See you there!

We can't wait to share what we've been working on with you!

Eternal Labyrinth Improvements in Path of Exile: Scourge

Path of Exile - CommunityTeam_GGG

Alongside introducing other forms of uber endgame content, Path of Exile: Scourge also changes the way players access the Eternal Labyrinth.

Problems:

Finding all six Trials of Ascendancy often took a very large number of maps. Assuming players were playing alone, it averaged to around 150 maps to find them all, but could be much more if players were unlucky. By this point, players were often over-levelled for the content and were starting to encounter difficult-enough endgame content where the extra Ascendancy skills were sorely needed. This problem would be further exacerbated by the reduction in Atlas size taking place in the Scourge expansion.

We recently added a means to open random Trials of Ascendancy in the Map Device by consuming an Offering to the Goddess. While this made finding all the trials easier, it often felt lossy as it required you to sacrifice something of value. You could have used that to run an Eternal Labyrinth for more enchantment opportunities and Labyrinth reward chests.

Solution:

In Path of Exile: Scourge, you'll no longer need to complete all of the Trials of Ascendancy found in maps in order to access the Eternal Labyrinth. You'll simply need to travel to the Labyrinth, paying one Offering to the Goddess.

Specifics:

It is not mandatory to complete any Trials of Ascendancy in maps prior to entering the Eternal Labyrinth.
You will still need to bring one single Offering to the Goddess, and this can be obtained from any Trial of Ascendancy in maps, from trade, or from rewards elsewhere in the game.
You must complete all prior Labyrinths before you can enter the Eternal Labyrinth.
Trials of Ascendancy will only spawn in yellow maps and higher. It was very rare for players to find and complete all six Trials during white maps.
There's no longer any reason to run a random Trial of Ascendancy in the map device, so the Offering to the Goddess no longer does anything if you attempt to use it there.
Previously you were able to access the Eternal Labyrinth at level 60, but this has been raised to level 68.

What Happens to Your Standard Atlas in 3.16

Path of Exile - CommunityTeam_GGG

Early next year, we will release our 3.17 expansion which includes a full rework to Path of Exile's Atlas of Worlds. In the meantime, we wanted to make some small improvements to the experience of setting up your Atlas. As such, in our October Scourge expansion, we're halving the number of regions to four and number of watchstones to sixteen. The idea is that it should be much faster to complete your Atlas setup in 3.16. Today's news post outlines what to expect if you're playing in Standard and worried about what will happen to your Atlas when Scourge launches.

We are removing the following regions: Tirn's End, Lex Proxima, Lex Ejoris and New Vastir.

Any quest Watchstones that have come from the above regions will be deleted. Note this does not mean where the Watchstones are socketed, but which region they were obtained from originally. The unfortunate part about this is that any sextants that are applied to these quest Watchstones will also be deleted.

As it is not very clear from the item to determine where your quest Watchstones originally came from, your safest bet is to make sure that you've used all the sextants you've applied to quest Watchstones before Scourge's launch.

Magic and Unique region-specific Watchstones in your possession that belonged to the regions that are being removed will be converted to other regions as per the following:

Tirn's End --> Haewark Hamlet
Lex Proxima --> Glennach Cairns
Lex Ejoris --> Valdo's Rest
New Vastir --> Lira Arthain

For example, a Titanium Tirn's End Watchstone will become a Titanium Haewark Hamlet Watchstone.

Due to the nature of how these are saved on the backend, any Watchstones socketed in the regions of New Vastir, Glennach Cairns, Valdo's Rest and Lira Arthain will be moved into remove-only Stash tabs.

With regards to map completion statuses, your unique maps will stay marked as 'completed' but the other maps in your Atlas will be marked as incomplete as per usual league-launch rules.

When you complete a legacy map (i.e. any map you obtained from 3.15 or earlier) your Atlas will automatically complete all the tiers below the tier of the map you completed. This also applies to your map completion bonuses and Awakening objectives (if the map you completed met the bonus objective and awakening objective requirements). While legacy maps that are no longer on the Atlas can be opened and completed, they won't provide any progress on your Atlas other than completing lower tiers as described.

Your Maven Witness progress will be reset as the maps in a given region are changing. Your 'favourite' maps will also be reset. Your Conquerors’ Influences and progress towards spawning a Conqueror in regions will be reset. You will need to spawn the influence in each region from scratch. Any region that had a Conqueror ready to fight will also be cleared so be sure to complete those fights prior to the patch so that you don't lose them.

Your Atlas Passives in each region will be unallocated due to the large changes coming to each region's Atlas Trees.

Expedition Ends Soon

Path of Exile - CommunityTeam_GGG

The Expedition League ends on PC on Monday October 18th at 2PM PDT, so this is your last week to complete any unfinished challenges. On consoles, the Expedition League will end when the 3.16 expansion goes live for consoles on October 27th PDT.

When Expedition ends, private leagues for 3.16 will become available shortly after so that you can prepare ahead of time for its launch. The exclusive Expedition Brimmed Hat will also leave the store forever! If you want to show your support for the league, be sure to check it out.

Don't forget to tune into the livestream announcement for the Path of Exile: Scourge expansion on October 14th at noon over on our Twitch channel. During the announcement, we'll reveal a new set of supporter packs to replace the Ultimatum supporter packs. Be sure to grab your Sun and Crescent packs here before they are gone forever.

A reminder that Twitch Drops will be enabled for the livestream to earn a set of Dragonfly Wings! PLEASE NOTE: Due to recent issues with Twitch, you will need to relink your Twitch and Path of Exile accounts in order to be eligible for Twitch Drops. Click here for information on how to link your account.

In case you missed it, you can check out the teaser for 3.16 below!

We'll see you at the announcement!
