3.16.0d Patch Notes Preview

Well, made it to 24 wings and uninstalled, the game is such a boredom with every league and it keeps going

Haven't played league since Synthesis.

Got nothing to say about Scourge.

I care more about the game overall.

Latency issues need to be TOP on the list of priorities to fix.

If those continue to be a problem in the magnitude they have been... then consider doing what Grim Dawn, Diablo, and / or many other isometric games have done in the past; give us an OFFLINE play option, even if that means we have to start new characters on new clients completely from scratch.

My thoughts about this league. With the announcement of scourge and all the changes to PoE I was very excited. Unfortunately that disappeared with the Scourge rewards which are globally useless except for the scourged map drops.
There is a positive side, all the balance changes made are globally very positive, especially the atlas change thats simplifies and makes mapping a smoother experience.
You can forget about keeping Scourge as it is but keep up the good work.
Cheers !

Wish the reopening of portals and the random opening/closing of portals after leaving a map the first time gets fixed soon
-nevertheless great patch

Where is lag stability hotfix... After all these days. Where it is? There are %10-15 of the playerbase that not lucky as others and cant do mapping because of ping instability. Main f**king content.


Mandatory copy/paste for the people new to the problem:

YEP many of us have been reporting the issue. For me it started yesterday, never had the issue before. I usually have 60 ms but since yesterday it does (https://i.imgur.com/VzeHap9.jpeg) on some maps (not all!). Sometimes it even goes up to 20,000 ms and I get disconnected.

There are several posts like this one from the last 72 hours (google "poe lag map" with 24h and 1week filter).

See also https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-forum/support half the posts on page 1 and 2 are about it.

The worst is that the issue doesn't occur on every map. It depends of which server the game opens your map. Like I can run 3 maps without any issue (constant 60 ms) but the next one could be on a problematic server and, as soon as a monster appears on the screen, my latency skyrockets to 300 ms or more. If it goes up to 1000 ms the game is unplayable and I'm forced to trash the map and start a new one and hopefully the game will instantiate it on a different server.

Check the IPs of the servers for each one of your maps in your logs and try to see if the issue occurs on the same IPs

Also for any readers having the issue I recommend you to post on the official forum. They are many posts about it on page 1 and 2. One of those posts for example: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3191325

Scourged gear is still basically unusable.

Some of the scourge downside mods are a bit brutal. I feel like you should just go the whole nine yards and add "You cannot play the game" to the pool.

Anyway, really enjoying the changes you made to the rewards. Scourged maps are quickly becoming one of the more rewarding league mechanics I can remember. Incubators, expedition currency, and maps especially. I also like the fact you can do a tier 1 map and still get a ton of rewards.

So if i have weapon with "Added Physical Damage" i will not get "Deal no Physical Damage" or if i get upside mod from scourge "Added Physical Damage" i will not get "Deal no Physical Damage"?

Still no elemental overload for Fireburst?

Disappointing GGG - league still unplayable for slower characters with not much clear...

Rewards still not great.

Scourged corruptions still poop.

Still getting massive latency spikes on South African server.
