Elon Musk approves: Path of Exile 2 has received a major update and a handy name change feature

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 changes implemented in this significant patch.

Key Bug Fixes and Enhancements:

  • Solo League Character Transfer: Resolved a bug preventing access to the Cartwalker Machine after transferring characters from solo league.
  • Local Cooperative Mode: Various bugs affecting player 2's access to player 1's UI elements (e.g., high-level maps) have been fixed. Movement between control points for player 2 has also been improved.
  • Increased Revival Attempts: Up to five revival attempts have been added in several challenging areas: Distorted Possessions, the Olroth boss fight, and the Essence of Nonexistence realm. Difficulty level determines the number of attempts. In The Mists, death before defeating the Host will result in revival within the boss arena, restarting the encounter.

Additional Improvements:

  • Character Renaming: Players can now rename their characters via the official website.

Despite some initial launch challenges, Path of Exile 2 remains a Steam chart-topper. Grinding Gear Games' commitment to addressing player concerns and continuously improving the game is evident in this substantial update.
