The BPL Command Team are organising a co-operative, team-based community event which takes place this coming weekend! This time, participants will be randomly split into six teams with class restrictions, where they'll compete for points which are awarded for achieving things such as collecting certain thematic sets of unique items, leveling up, killing specific bosses and more!
League Starts: Mar 11, 2022 11:00AM PST League Ends: Mar 15, 2022 11:00AM PST (12:00PM PDT)
This event is open to everyone and this time there is a cap of 400 players per team (2400 spots in total). All you need to participate is a Path of Exile account and a Discord account.
Sign ups for the event are open until Mar 10, 2022 11:00AM PST or as long as there are available slots. If you'd like to get involved or want more information, check out the BPL website here.
If you'd like to spectate, you can check out https://badgerleague.com/live to see a list of everyone that's streaming the event on Twitch! A closing ceremony will be broadcast at the end of the event on Badger's Twitch channel here.
This weekend we are running a Stash Tab Sale! The new Gem and Flask Stash Tabs are included in this sale for PC and will be available at a discount for consoles in the next sale. You can view the full selection of discounted tabs by pressing M in game. The Stash Tab sale ends at 1pm on March 8th NZT.
Microtransactions from the Atlantis Mystery Box are now available in the store! It's also still possible to combine some of the individual Deepwater and Siren cosmetic effects into the Atlantis ones.
Check out the Atlantis microtransactions by watching the video below. You can also view the full range in the store by pressing M in game.
Dates have now been confirmed for the rescheduled Path of Exile: Royale event with Twitch Rivals! Due to technical difficulties last time, we were not able to run the event but we're sure things will run smoothly after some testing and fixes!
Path of Exile's community streamers will face each other in a live tournament in order to win awesome prizes.
Like the last time, the competitors will compete alone but to spice things up the area will generate shrines that would grant various buffs. Brutus will also join the fray, so they'll need to weigh the risk and rewards for challenging him!
Twitch Drops will be available for viewers on all Path of Exile channels. They will be enabled when the event starts and will be available for 5 hours. After 30 minutes of watch time, you'll be awarded with the Grasping Hands Pet and after 2 hours of watch time, you'll be awarded with the Hand Wings.
You must link your Path of Exile and Twitch accounts to be eligible for the drops. If you haven't already done so, follow these instructions so you don't miss out!
Step 3: Link your Twitch account or click 'update permissions' if you've linked your account previously. Once your account is linked or your permissions have been updated, this page should say 'Your account is eligible to participate in Twitch Drops'.
After you have accumulated enough watch time to earn your Grasping Hands Pet and Hand Wings, you must redeem them from your Twitch Inventory before they will be available in your microtransactions list in Path of Exile.
There's $35,000 in prizes on the line, alongside a slew of Path of Exile's best cosmetic effects such as Armour Sets, Portals, Back Attachments, Pets and more from the Vulcan, Darkshard, Elder, Oblivion, Dreadspire and Angelic themes. The prize pool will be distributed as stated below:
1st place: $4,500 + Microtransactions from the list
Sometime this week or early next week, we're planning to deploy the 3.17.2 patch which introduces several improvements including an update to the Fragment Tab. Check out a preview of its patch notes below.
The following patch notes are still subject to change prior to the patch's deployment. We'll deploy the 3.17.2 update on consoles as soon as possible after its release on PC.
3.17.2 Patch Notes
This patch contains various improvements and bug fixes of both small- and medium-importance.
Improvements
The Corrosive Hunger debuff in The Infinite Hunger boss fight now provides -1% Physical Damage Reduction and -1% Chance to Evade per stack (previously -400 to Armour and Evasion Rating per stack).
Corrosive Hunger stacks are now lost when The Infinite Hunger drowns you and teleports you away.
Oil that has been set alight is now treated as Burning Ground, and applies a Burning Ground debuff, rather than Burning Oil.
The Incendiary Archnemesis modifier now gives the monster less duration of Ignites on self, rather than reduced duration on Ignites of self. This change is to primarily address an issue where characters with the Blackflame Unique Ring equipped were unable to Ignite monsters with this Archnemesis modifier.
The number of Prefix and Suffix modifiers on an item is no longer preserved when rerolling modifiers using an Eldritch Chaos Orb.
Added a new '/atlaspassives' chat command that details the sources of your Atlas Passive Points, and those you may still be missing from quests.
Added a notification for when you have received a Map crafting option.
The Fragment Stash Tab can now hold Eldritch and Maven Invitations.
Items contained in the Gem and Flask Stash Tabs are now listed alphabetically within categories.
The "Convert Maps" button on the Map Stash Tab is now only usable if you have at least 1 non-remove only Map Stash set to the current map series.
Showing Advanced Mod Descriptions is not any option any more, it is now always on.
Bows in Standard with one-handed local Added Fire, Cold, Lightning and Chaos Damage weapon prefix modifiers can now have a Divine Orb used on them to obtain the two-handed modifier values introduced in 3.17.0.
The Vaal Omnitect and Atziri, Queen of the Vaal are now also untargetable whilst they are invulnerable, preventing Minions from prioritising them over other monsters.
Further improved level generation of Blighted Maps so that they fail to open less often.
Added a short cooldown to the triggered spells of Morgrants, the Deafening to prevent enormous numbers of Skill triggers against Player Minions.
Aura Skills that have had their Reservation changed to a cost through Divine Blessing Support can now be supported by Arcane Surge.
Trial of Ascendancy Portals now detail what kind of Offering they contain when you encounter them in Maps.
Updated the description on Divine Blessing Support to state that it cannot support Stance Skills.
The Invisible Buff Effect Microtransaction can now be applied to Plague Bearer, allowing you to hide its visual effects.
Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug where a totemified channelling skill with a cooldown did not apply the cooldown when you used the skill, such as Winter Orb Totems with the Black Zenith Unique Gloves.
Fixed an issue where Drox, The Warlord's Glove Cascade was dealing more damage than intended in Maven's "The Elderslayers" Invitation.
Fixed a bug with Kirac Missions where Shaper- and Elder-Influence was not applying correctly to Maps.
Fixed a bug where the Lesser Searing Exarch Implicit modifier that grants 8% increased Attack Speed was not working correctly.
Fixed a bug where the Elevated Sextant modifier that causes Areas to contain 2 Additional Essences and provides a chance for monsters imprisoned by Essence a chance to contain a Remnant of Corruption had 3 uses, instead of 15 uses.
Fixed a bug where Eldritch Orbs of Annulment, Eldritch Chaos Orbs and Eldritch Exalted Orbs could be used on items that did not have empty Sockets.
Fixed a bug where the Megalomaniac Unique Jewel could not generate the Aggressive Defence, Blood Artist or Phlebotomist Cluster Jewel Notables.
Fixed a bug where the maximum Resistance modifiers introduced for Shields in 3.17.0 were unable to be changed to another type of Resistance through Harvest crafting options.
Fixed a bug where crafting recipe unlock interactables were sometimes not present in the Caldera, Marshes, Promenade and Wasteland Maps
Fixed an issue where you could sometimes be disconnected for performing too many actions if you had Berserk bound to left-click.
Fixed a bug where the Captivated Interest Atlas Passive Skill was not working correctly.
Fixed a bug where the targeting behaviour of minions summoned by The Dancing Dervish was not working correctly with Predator Support.
Fixed a bug with the Stormfire Unique Ring where the increased Burning Damage for each time you have Shocked a Non-Shocked Enemy Recently was not properly keeping track of your most recent Shocks.
Fixed an issue where the "Monsters steal Power, Frenzy and Endurance charges on Hit" modifier description was sometimes not visible on Maps with the modifier.
Fixed a bug where Whirling Blades would attempt to hit a target again if it evaded the attack.
Fixed a bug where Unique Maps that were corrupted to Rare Maps could sometimes retain their Unique art.
Fixed an issue where the "Prevent others from using your Map Portals" option did not apply to Map Portals in Karui Shores.
Fixed an issue where Cremation could sometimes be invisible when supported by Spell Echo.
Fixed a bug where The Eater of Worlds and The Searing Exarch icons could sometimes incorrectly display on items on the ground.
Fixed a bug where the Extinguish debuff icon was displayed as a buff.
Fixed a bug where temporary beam effects for item filters were not so temporary if they continued from a permanent beam.
Fixed an unintended visual interaction between the Indomitable Aegis Aurora and Myrmidon Weapon Effect Microtransactions.
Fixed an issue where the Stygian Plague Bearer Microtransactions would sometimes not fully apply to characters.
Fixed a few wonky interactions with Warcry skills and some Character Effect microtransactions.
Fixed a bug where the audio for Kinetic Bolt could stutter and cause the client to freeze.
Fixed a client crash that could occur with Phantasmal Seismic Trap.
