3.28.0f Patch Notes

• Added support for the upcoming Gauntlet Event.
• The Currency Exchange now ignores currency inside the map device storage.

• The Ritualist's Breach Ring microtransaction now causes Unstable Breaches you find to be visually transformed into occult summoning circles.

Bug Fixes

3.28.0d Patch Notes

This patch has been deployed without restarting the servers. You will need to update your client to receive the client changes in this patch.

Last night after deploying 3.28.0c, some of our servers accidentally had their configuration broken in a way that resulted in approximately twice the number of players being assigned to some servers than what they can normally handle. This was entirely an error on our part and doesn't have anything to do with previous server disruptions that we have had this launch.

Unfortunately, even though we have an alerting system in place to wake up our server admins in cases where load on our servers is too high, none of the conditions we had in place were triggered by this event. There are some unusual properties of this incident that we are still investigating that caused performance to be bad even though CPU load was not higher than our alerting threshold.

As soon as our server admins were made aware of the problem, the configuration issue was able to be immediately resolved, but this resulted in around 12 hours of degraded performance for some users in some regions.

We have added some new performance metrics to our alerting system which will make sure that this particular failure doesn't happen again.

We apologise for the impact that this had. This incident was our fault, and we will make sure that it doesn't happen again.

As Exiles continue to aid Varashta in the fight against the Afarud, we've stepped into the Mirage and uncovered hidden Maraketh mysteries. Check out some statistics from the first week of the Mirage league below!

Wish Pick Rate (When Offered)

This table shows the rate at which a Wish is picked when offered by Varashta.

| Wish | Description | Pick Rate | |

|

|

| | Wish for Rust | Breaking the Astral Chain in the Mirage Area will spawn Ridan, of the Afarud. | 61.20% | | Wish for Fishes | Claim a Fishing Rod. | 60.58% | | Wish for Terror | Breaking the Astral Chain in the Mirage Area will spawn a Pinnacle Atlas Boss from the Feared. | 49.34% | | Wish for Providence | The Nameless Seer will appear on breaking the Astral Chain in the Mirage Area | 47.42% | | Wish for Eminence | Breaking the Astral Chain in the Mirage Area will reward an additional Unique Jewel. | 44.41% | | Wish for Glyphs | Portal Scrolls and Wisdom Scrolls found in Mirage Area will instead drop as other Currencies. | 39.10% | | Wish for Wealth | 100% more Currency found in the Mirage Area. | 36.35% | | Wish for Fortune | Breaking the Astral Chain in the Mirage Area will reward a cache of Currency. | 35.23% | | Wish for Reflection | A Reflecting Mist will appear on breaking the Astral Chain in the Mirage Area | 34.79% | | Wish for Craftsmanship | Breaking the Astral Chain in the Mirage Area will reward a Five-Linked Body Armour. | 32.55% |

Percentage of Mirages Generated by Area

This table shows the top ten areas responsible for creating the most Mirages, and the percentage of total mirages that those areas are responsible for.

| Map Name | % of Mirages | |

|

| | Dunes | 6.76% | | City Square | 5.10% | | Jungle Valley | 3.71% | | Haunted Mansion | 3.69% | | Strand | 2.49% | | Beach | 1.97% | | Defiled Cathedral | 1.78% | | Mesa | 1.42% | | Silo | 1.15% | | Atoll | 0.97% |

Vault Open Rates and Most Popular Maps by Region

This table shows the rate at which the different Memory Vaults are opened, and the maps which are run most often in their respective regions.

| Vault Type | % of Total Vaults | Region | Most Popular Maps in Region | |

|

|

|

| | Scholar's Vault | 42.13% | Southwest | Jungle Valley, Haunted Mansion, Mesa | | Zealot's Vault | 22.90% | Northeast | City Square, Defiled Cathedral, Castle Ruins | | Arkhon's Vault | 19.73% | Southeast | Dunes, Silo, Promenade | | Machinist's Vault | 15.23% | Northwest | Strand, Beach, Atoll |

Percentage of Maraketh Coins Used by Type

This table shows the rates at which the different types of Maraketh Coins are used, relative to each other.

| Coin Type | % Used | |

|

| | Coin of Power | 39.58% | | Coin of Skill | 27.60% | | Coin of Knowledge | 32.82% |

Player Win Rates Against Bosses

We wanted to know the win rate of players against Saresh, but have also included the win rates against Eater and Exarch for reference.

| Boss Name | Player Win Rate | |

|

| | Saresh, of the Weeping Black | 99.42% | | The Searing Exarch | 97.88% | | The Eater of Worlds | 99.16% |

As a side note, if you've failed a few attempts at these bosses, don't be disheartened by these stats! They're strongly influenced by players that kill the bosses over and over again, contributing a significant number of attempts while having a very high win rate. Players with fewer attempts tend to not have such a high win rate. For example, the median player (in terms of win rate) with 5-9 attempts at the Searing Exarch has an 83.3% win rate, whereas players that have over 100 attempts have a win rate of 99.5%.

An Update on Server Instability

Since the launch of 3.28, many players have been getting repeated disconnections from our game servers. This is the result of some very persistent and targeted DDoS attacks that have been directed at our game backend.

While we don't want to give any specific details which might serve to help the attackers, we want to assure you that this is our server team's highest priority, and we are in constant contact with our server providers who have been deploying mitigations for these attacks. While we have seen some improvements due to these countermeasures, this will not be considered resolved until these disconnections stop.

We want to apologise for the disruption and will attempt to resolve this as quickly as possible.

This patch has been deployed without restarting the servers. You will need to update your client to receive the client changes in this patch.

Over the weekend, we've launched Path of Exile: Mirage. Thanks to everyone who logged in to try out the new league!

So far we've deployed 11 hotfixes to address a variety of crashes and bugs. The team continues to work on hotfixes as they investigate your reports and feedback, and we should have the most common issues addressed very soon.

We've got plenty of things on our radar currently, but here are some examples of what we're working on:

• Many instances of the Currency Exchange showing removed items and not showing new ones have been fixed internally and will be hotfixed in the client shortly.
• Improving the visibility of maps not yet completed on the Atlas.
• Improving the visibility of Caches in Mirages.
• Fixing cases where certain UI elements (in Delve, for example) are not selectable.
• Fixing an issue where users in permanent leagues are unable to progress their Atlas state.
• We're also making many individual improvements to the experience of the new Atlas system.
• Fixing an issue where Memory Thread currency was not dropping from Memory Tears after completing all the Memory Lines quests.
• Soul of Lunaris' 6% reduced Elemental Damage taken if you have been Hit Recently has been changed from Iceberg Map to instead be Beach Map.
• Ability to have buffs persist through area transitions from one combat area to another, with Shrine Buffs likely to be the first to get this treatment.

We are aware of the server issues that affect some of our players, and we are working hard to resolve them as soon as we can.
