The developers of Path of Exile 2 have released a substantial update, version 0.1.1c, bringing with it a suite of enhancements and fixes to enrich the gaming experience. In this update, the team at Grinding Gear Games has tackled several critical issues that players encountered, showcasing their commitment to improving the game.
Among the new items introduced in this patch, the developers have fixed a frustrating bug that could result in the loss of access to the Cartwalker Machine when transferring a character from a solo league. They've also addressed various bugs in local cooperative mode, ensuring that player 2 no longer accidentally unlocks player 1's UI items, such as high-level maps. Another fix in the local cooperative mode resolves an issue where player 2 was unable to move swiftly between control points, enhancing the fluidity of gameplay.
For those tackling the more challenging areas of the game, the update introduces up to five revival attempts in key locations depending on the difficulty level. This includes the Distorted Possessions area, the battle against Olroth, the Source of the Fall, and the Essence of Nonexistence realm. A particularly notable change is that if you die before defeating the Host in The Mists, you will be revived in the boss battle arena, and the fight will restart, giving players another chance to overcome this formidable foe.
Beyond gameplay improvements, Grinding Gear Games has not overlooked player service. The update now allows players to rename their characters directly through the website, adding a layer of personalization to the Path of Exile 2 experience.
Despite some initial hiccups with the launch of the new Path of Exile installment, Grinding Gear Games continues to hold a strong position at the top of the Steam charts. The developers are actively working to address any issues, ensuring that Path of Exile 2 remains a top choice for gamers worldwide.
