Path of Exile devs are planning 'an extreme shakeup' in the next major update to address concerns over its stale endgame and lack of exciting loot drops
The action RPG's endgame won't look the same in patch 3.30.
Path of Exile developers, Grinding Gear Games, are preparing for a significant overhaul in the next major update to tackle player dissatisfaction over the game's stagnant endgame and lackluster loot. In an interview with PoE streamer Zizaran, Christopher "Octavian" Laferriere revealed that patch 3.30 will introduce an "extreme shakeup of the endgame".
This update will aim to breathe new life into existing league mechanics, adding novelty and freshness to the long-standing content. To achieve this, Laferriere stated that developers plan to extensively evaluate which league mechanics should be linked to specific items, rather than allowing items to be found randomly throughout the game.
Additionally, the update will reevaluate the randomness of loot drops, borrowing successful elements from Path of Exile 2, where loot appears more unpredictable. Developers are aware that the update will be expansive, potentially limiting smaller additions like new transfigured skill gems. The update is scheduled for release in four months, but it promises to be a pivotal moment for Path of Exile, as the developers test the waters of long-awaited changes.
