State of Exile Podcast Episode #30 Featuring Carl
Episode #30 of the State of Exile Podcast is now up. The first part includes an interview with Carl where they discuss The Awakening expansion. It includes discussion of recent changes to major keystones and auras / reduced mana as well as insight into development and the reasons for various balance changes! Here is Part One and Part Two.

The Siren's Cadence by Vindsvept
Vindsvept has posted this song in tribute to Path of Exile and to honour Merveil. It's a great example of fantasy based music and could easily be immersed into the genre. Check it out here.

The Stronghold of Fury by JowyAttreides1991
This fan art piece was created based on Kaom's Stronghold. It's cool to see art that views the game from an alternate perspective. Being behind the characters gives the impression of being immersed in the action.

Act Four Town Music Remix by eko1991
This player enjoyed the new Act Four soundtrack so much that he decided to pay tribute to it by remixing it as a liquid drum and bass version. It seems to fit the style quite well! You can check out the song here.

Deterministic Dubstep by The Brockwurst
We've recently introduced a patch to The Awakening Closed Beta that includes an experimental version of Deterministic Lockstep that is designed to solve desync issues for low-latency players. It also includes dozens of bug fixes to regular Predictive sync. The positive reactions to this change have been immense. This small video is just one of the highlights of the responses we've received.

Thanks for the post, Bex!

I also wanted to give an update regarding the Divination Card submission page. It wasn't ready for today like we hoped, but we're trying hard to get it in for tomorrow. Very close!

Update (4:40pm NZT): Well, the Divination Card page isn't going to be ready for tomorrow. Assuming we have our quality assurance complete by late tomorrow, and with our web developer away on Friday, then the target deployment time is Monday, NZ time (US Sunday). Thanks for your patience and sorry about continually missing our deployment estimates with this page!

The good news is that we have a Beta patch tomorrow that has further big improvements to lockstep and a nice surprise. More news tomorrow.
