Path of Exile 2's latest update, 0.1.1c, addresses several key issues and introduces notable improvements. The Grinding Gear Games team has detailed the fixes and additions implemented.
Here's a summary of the changes:
-
Bug Fixes: The update resolves a bug preventing access to the Cartwalker Machine after character transfers from solo league. Various local co-op bugs causing Player 2 to access Player 1's UI elements (like high-level maps) have been eradicated. A separate co-op bug hindering Player 2's movement between control points has also been fixed.
-
Increased Revival Attempts: Players now have up to five revival attempts in several challenging areas: Distorted Possessions, the Olroth boss fight, and the Essence of Nonexistence realm. The number of attempts varies based on difficulty. Dying before defeating the Host in The Mists will now revive players in the boss arena, restarting the encounter.
-
Character Renaming: A convenient new feature allows players to rename their characters directly through the official website.
Despite some initial launch challenges, Path of Exile 2 maintains its top position on the Steam charts, demonstrating continued player engagement. Grinding Gear Games' commitment to addressing player feedback and improving the game is evident in this substantial update.
