The latest patch for Path of Exile is live, and developer Grinding Gear Games has implemented some much-needed fixes to Legion League and the game at large.
Legion League has been thoroughly enjoyed by POE fans across the board, but it’s not without issues. The biggest issues players cite currently have to do with either performance and the visibility of the chaotic Legion Encounters. Players should find it even easier to find chests and specially marked mobs when they interact with Monoliths. Legions also now drop certain rewards like Stygian Vise bases and Timeless Jewels. One great change is that Legion mobs now turn aggressive against the player at a reduced range, making high-level encounters a little easier.
In terms of other bug fixes, there’s actually a lot in this patch, too many to mention all of them. Various skills like Smite, Bladestorm and more had bugs which have now been dealt with. Audio effects have also been tweaked for Shield Charge, Leap Slam and Ground Slam. Finally, a bundle of bugs to do with maps, MTX effects and a few other areas have been eliminated.
The patch also introduces a handful of fixes for crashes to both the clients and server-side code. So that’s all well and good as well.
