The team behind Path of Exile 2 has just rolled out a major update, version 0.1.1c, bringing a host of enhancements and fixes to enrich the gaming experience. Grinding Gear Games continues to demonstrate their commitment to refining their latest offering, which remains a top contender on Steam charts despite some initial hiccups at launch.
Key among the updates are several bug fixes that enhance gameplay. A notable fix addresses a glitch that could potentially lock players out of the Cartwalker Machine during character transfers from solo league. This ensures a smoother transition for players looking to move their characters between different game modes.
In local cooperative mode, multiple issues have been resolved. One significant fix prevents player 2 from inadvertently unlocking player 1's UI items, such as high-level maps, which could previously disrupt gameplay. Another correction now allows player 2 to swiftly navigate between control points, enhancing the cooperative experience.
The update also introduces up to five revival attempts in critical areas of the game, scaling with difficulty. This includes the Distorted Possessions area, the battle against Olroth, the Source of the Fall, and the challenging Essence of Nonexistence realm. In the latter, if players die before defeating the Host in The Mists, they will be revived directly in the boss battle arena, with the fight restarting, adding a strategic layer to these encounters.
Additionally, Grinding Gear Games has not overlooked player convenience. The latest update introduces the ability for players to rename their characters directly through the website, offering more personalization options to the Path of Exile 2 community.
Despite facing some challenges at its debut, Path of Exile 2 is on an upward trajectory, with Grinding Gear Games actively working to address issues and improve the game. This dedication to service and continual updates ensures that Path of Exile 2 remains a thrilling and engaging experience for its players.
