Miscellaneous News Roundup

We're deep in the preparation of Path of Exile's next set of race events. There will probably be some substantial changes to how these events are run and structured. We want to more clearly distinguish between races for competitive players vs casual racers who enjoy fun race modes. We will still be awarding Demigod and Alternate Art Unique prizes, of course.

We're currently targeting 1.2.2 at Friday (NZ time). We'll post Patch Notes on the day.

We've prepared a video of the third new skill microtransaction included in 1.2.2: Demonic Flameblast Effect.

Some users asked for an HD YouTube copy of last week's Build of the Week video. We've uploaded it here.

The first thousand or so Signed Art Packs for Master/Grandmaster supporters have been prepared for postage, and 300 have been shipped so far. Very soon, the lead time from placing an order to us posting the signed concept art pack will be a few days.

We'll be releasing Forsaken Masters later this week on Garena's Taiwanese Path of Exile server. We're actually releasing Forsaken Masters before Sacrifice of the Vaal in Taiwan, because it's more beginner-friendly. Because this is the first chance that Taiwanese players have had to play PoE in Chinese, we feel this ordering of expansions makes sense in their region.
