Patch 0.4.0d for Path of Exile 2 is coming this week! Boss buff hover popups now show buff names, Temple Room placement has clearer upgrade information, as well as many other bugfixes and improvements.
0.4.0d Patch Notes
Fate of the Vaal League Changes and Improvements
- Players who die during the Architect or Atziri boss fights in Atziri's Temple can now respawn in a new instance of the Temple with most other content removed, similar to how endgame maps work.
- Improved the Holten league mechanic placement variance and re-enabled Energized Crystals.
- Atziri's Chambers now correctly connects to any room placed next to it.
- The Temple now requires a minimum of 1 room placed each run before opening. This is to ensure players don't accidentally open the Temple before placing rooms and better guide new players in their first Temple. You can bypass this restriction by holding Ctrl while clicking on the Run Temple button. Gamepad users will instead get a confirmation prompt that they must agree to.
- Added user feedback on the Temple Map for if a room is completed or unreachable.
- Updated the Temple Mods list to match that of the in-map Mods List whilst running a temple.
- Updated the information on rooms when hovered in the Temple Map to show possible upgrades.
- Added description text to Atziri's Chambers to clarify how to unlock the room.
- Updated the Temple Destabilisation keyword to clarify random vs room completion destabilisation.
- Fixed a bug where some monsters inside the Vaal Temple were not receiving the intended amount of Monster Effectiveness
- Fixed a bug where transcendent limbs could be kept after dying.
- Fixed a bug where non-Temple owners could see dropped Temple Medallions, despite being unable to interact with them.
- Fixed a bug where Unique reliquary displays found in the Temple could not be opened while playing in couch co-op.
- Fixed the maximum medallion check for couch co-op, preventing players from picking up medallions if the Temple owner has the maximum amount.
General Changes
- The character sheet now displays how much item armour, evasion and/or energy shield you have.
- Skills which reserve spirit now display their final, modified spirit reservation on the skill information popout.
- Added buff names to the buff hover information on enemies.
- Passive Skill Tree Notable Anointment displays no longer require the player to first pickup a Distilled Emotion. These can be viewed by holding ALT when hovering a notable passive on any character.
- Adjusted the damage of the following bosses found inside of the Trial of Chaos:
- Overall lowered the damage dealt by Bahlak, The Sky Seer
- Overall increased the damage dealt by Uxmal, the Beastlord
- All Quadrilla monster variants have been working out and now deal more damage.
- Reduced the damage of the 'Vornas, the Fell Flame' and 'Morvak, the Infernal' bosses.
- The Devour Skill is now able to consume your Minions when available.
- Phantasmal Arrow no longer targets the ground. This fixes various range bugs it had with additional projectiles and Barrage.
- Spectral Fire now uses the player's stats for calculating its area of effect and dealing damage.
- Updated the Spectral Fire keyword to correctly state that damage modifiers do not scale the explosion further, this is purely a description change.
- Updated the 2D Art of Socketed Augments to match the 2D Art of what was socketed.
- Added an info popup when hovering the button to run Logbooks to make it clear you must first select a destination area.
- Updated the weapon requirement for the Smith of Kitava's Temper Weapon skill to explicitly state that it cannot be used with Talismans.
- Updated the Slow keyword to state monsters cannot be slowed below 25% of their base speed.
- Further improved texture streaming to help prevent the unloading of active textures.
