Content Update 3.5.0 -- Path of Exile: Betrayal

The Betrayal Challenge League

  • Challenge leagues are a great opportunity for a fresh start in a new economy. All of your old characters and items are still present in the Standard and Hardcore leagues, but you're encouraged to join the new leagues, complete challenges and demonstrate your mastery of Path of Exile!
  • With 3.5.0, there are Standard and Hardcore, and Solo Self-Found Standard and Hardcore, variations of the Betrayal challenge league available. They have the same core mechanics and items. You can create private league versions of these leagues, with mods that make the game harder.
  • In the Betrayal Challenge League, you will investigate the Immortal Syndicate, whose sinister operations have begun to appear across Wraeclast and Oriath.
  • Help the newest master, Jun Ortoi, as she investigates the disappearance of several prominent exiles in relation to the sudden rise of the Immortal Syndicate. She will aid you as you seek to dismantle Syndicate fortifications, halt the transportation of Syndicate resources, prevent the Syndicate from destroying vital evidence in their research compounds, and fight off their attempts to assassinate you.
  • Track your progress on the Investigation Board, and force the Syndicate members you defeat to bargain with you, betray their allies, face interrogation or be executed. Use the information you gain from these actions to raid Syndicate safehouses.
  • Battle your way through the safehouses to learn who leads the Syndicate. Gain valuable rewards based on who you defeat in each safehouse, including items with powerful Veiled mods. Jun can help you pull back the veil, revealing untold power on these items.
  • The new challenge leagues include a set of 40 new challenges. When you complete 12 challenges, you will receive the Betrayal Helmet Attachment. When you reach 24 challenges, you will receive the Betrayal Aura Effect. At 36 challenge completed you'll receive the Betrayal Cloak. These microtransactions are only obtainable in this league.
  • From the 19th challenge onwards and for every third challenge after that, you will receive pieces of the Betrayal Totem Pole decoration to display in your hideout. The Totem Pole permanently showcases how many of the Betrayal challenges you completed during the league.

Major New Content and Features

  • There's a new roster of Masters! Alva, Niko and Einhar have returned and have brought their respective League features with them. They, along with Zana and the Betrayal League's Jun Ortoi, make up the new roster of Masters. Einhar's Bestiary content has been revamped - he now accompanies you on the hunt and manages nets for you.
  • Overhauled the Hideout system: Hideouts, favour and decorations are now shared account-wide. You will now encounter Hideouts throughout the game after rescuing Helena in Act 2. Hideouts must be cleared of enemies before they can be claimed. You can now reclaim all your hideout decorations (except stashes, the waypoint and your crafting bench) with the click of a button. Special map-only hideouts are waiting in the end-game, but are rare to stumple upon.
  • Overhauled Mastercrafting: You now have a single Crafting Bench in your Hideout that covers all item types and crafting mods. You now gain new crafting mods from a variety of different sources, including through exploration and helping the new Masters. You can also overwrite previously crafted mods at the cost of an Orb of Scouring.
  • Added a new Strength/Dexterity Skill Gem - Shattering Steel: Swing an Axe or Sword, releasing projectiles in sequence. The projectiles shatter when colliding with an enemy or after travelling a short distance, with the shattered pieces dealing damage in front of the impact location.
  • Added a new Strength/Dexterity Skill Gem - Lancing Steel: Thrust an Axe or Sword forward, releasing a primary projectile that impales enemies it hits. Additional projectiles appear nearby as smaller metal shards that fly forward after a short delay.
  • Added a new Intelligence Skill gem - Winter Orb: Channel to conjure an orb above you which pelts nearby enemies with projectiles that explode when they hit the ground. Channel for longer to build up stages on the skill. The orb loses stages over its duration after you stop channelling.
  • Added a new Intelligence Skill Gem - Storm Brand: Create a magical brand that can attach to a nearby enemy until it dies or expires. It periodically activates while attached, firing beams which damage nearby enemies and the enemies around them.
  • Added a new Strength/Intelligence Skill Gem - Armageddon Brand: Create a magical brand that can attach to a nearby enemy until it dies or expires. It periodically activates while attached, causing a meteor to fall from the sky.
  • Added a new Strength/Intelligence Skill Gem - Brand Recall: Detach your Brands from enemies and return them to you, activating their effect. Your Brands will have increased branding range until they next brand an enemy.
  • Added a new Strength Skill Gem - Dread Banner: Cast to reserve mana and carry a banner which lets nearby allies inflict Impale with attacks, and lessens the accuracy of nearby enemies. Gain stages by impaling enemies while carrying the banner. Casting the skill again places the banner, ending the mana reservation. Once placed, it becomes more powerful for each stage gained while carried.
  • Added a new Strength Skill Gem - War Banner: Cast to reserve mana and carry a banner which increases the accuracy of nearby allies, and the physical damage taken by nearby enemies. Gain stages by killing enemies while carrying the banner. Casting the skill again places the banner, ending the mana reservation.

Enemies Chilled by Supported Skills take increased Cold Damage over Time and have damage taken increased by Chill Effect.
  • Added a new Skill - Focus: By itself, Focus does nothing, but new Veiled item modifiers (available in Betrayal League) have powerful and build-enabling interactions with it. The Focus skill is enabled when you equip any item with a mod that interacts with Focus, but is not supportable.
  • Added the Advanced Skill Gem Tutorial. By pressing Y on the Skill Gem quest rewards throughout Act 1 you can see a preview of how that skill will act with a variety of different Support Gems.
  • Added Atlas Objectives, which are guaranteed Master Missions indicated on the Atlas of Worlds. Whenever you complete a map, there's a chance for a new objective to appear (or, if you already have an objective of that type, move). Objectives can appear on any non-unique map, but will favour completed maps or maps adjacent to completed maps. They also refresh every day, like daily missions used to.

  • If you're targeting a monster out of Arc's range, Arc will now target a monster within its range instead.

  • You can now buy full stacks of items from a vendor with X.
  • You can now zoom your minimap in and out in the Options menu.

Master Changes

  • Haku, Elreon, Tora, Catarina, Vagan, Leo and Vorici are no longer Forsaken Masters. In fact, they've disappeared entirely, and we're worried about them.
  • Einhar Frey is now a master. You can first meet him in Act 2. He will help you capture beasts which can be used to craft items at the blood altar in his menagerie.
  • Niko the Mad is now a master. You can first meet him in Act 4. He will help mine the Voltaxic Sulphite you find on your journeys, to be used to light your way through his Azurite Mine.
  • Alva Valai is now a master. You can first meet her in Act 7. She will send you on incursions into the Temple of Atzoatl during its construction in order to help her find its location in the present day.
  • Masters, including Zana, no longer have Reputation levels. Features such as crafting bench options are, as a result, no longer unlocked by grinding master missions, and are instead unlocked by encountering specific locations, situations or completing specific objectives.
  • Hideouts are also no longer unlocked or improved through master grinding. Instead, Helena will help you unlock new hideouts found throughout the campaign and (very rarely) within the Atlas. Newly obtained hideouts are automatically at their maximum size and hold all masters without being upgraded.
  • Zana's map device options and the items she sells are now unlocked based on your progress through the Shaper/Elder questline. She can now occasionally sell higher-tier maps as well as Sextants.
  • Completing Master missions still earns you Favour, and Masters now have Decoration levels that cap out at level 7. These levels only unlock Hideout decorations, and are account-wide (because favour, decorations and Hideouts are purely cosmetic).
  • Favour costs for Hideout decorations have been rebalanced.

Character Balance

  • Added a new Debuff - Impale: When a hit applies Impale, a portion of that Hit's Physical Damage is recorded before sources of damage mitigation are applied. The next 5 hits against that target apply that recorded damage as Reflected Physical Damage. You can have multiple Impales on a target.
  • Energy Shield Recharge is no longer interrupted by non-damage changes to your Life or Energy Shield, such as when you spend your Energy Shield on skills via Eldritch Battery.
  • You can no longer use skills that require a specific weapon if you are dual-wielding and one of your equipped weapons is unsuitable for that skill. For example, you will no longer be able to use Reave with a dagger and sceptre equipped. This change means that the popular "stat-stick" strategies will no longer work for attacks.
  • As a result of this change, Ground Slam, Vaal Ground Slam, Leap Slam, Double Strike, Vaal Double Strike, Reckoning, Ice Crash, Earthquake, Vaal Earthquake, Sunder, Word of Light, Edict of Light, Decree of Light, Commandment of Light, Word of War, Edict of War, Decree of War, Commandment of War, Tectonic Slam, Consecrated Path, Smite, Ancestral Warchief and Vaal Ancestral Warchief are no longer main-hand only.

Azurite Mine and Sulphite Changes

  • Player depth notifications are now only announced every 50 depth levels (So you won't get spammed with updates!)
  • Slightly reduced the damage dealt by the Darkness based on player life and energy shield, and added a small amount of flat damage per Darkness stack.
  • The Pulsating Grotto encounter now lasts longer before the boss appears. Monsters from this encounter award significantly more experience when slain.

Bestiary and Menagerie Changes

  • Your Bestiary (book) is now account-wide. If you catch a beast in one league, it'll be recorded in your Bestiary in all other leagues, in perpetuity. The itemised beasts themselves are still league-specific.
  • There is now a global capture limit of 1000 beasts, rather than a per-genus limit. The previous total maximum was approximately 680, though most players were likely to hit genus-specific limits.
  • Beastcrafting recipes have been completely reworked and simplified.
  • Non-Spirit-Beast unique beasts can't appear in the Menagerie or Bestiary.

Prophecy Changes

  • Adjusted the weightings of many prophecies.
  • You can now complete the steps of many prophecy chains in various maps.
  • Prophecies which can trigger in maps no longer lock their triggers to specific maps out of their possible pool. In other words, if you attempt to open a map where a Prophecy might trigger and it doesn't, it may trigger next time you open it. Previously, if it did not trigger in that map, it never would.
  • Prophecies that previously forced the appearance of one of the old Masters now force the appearance of one of the new ones instead.

Map Changes

  • The Atlas of Worlds has been shuffled. Most maps have changed tier and location within the Atlas.
  • Many map bosses have also shifted around. Some have been retired and replaced!
  • As part of this Atlas shuffle, many maps have been reviewed with the goal of bringing their layouts or monster densities up to par with other maps.
  • Map icons have been updated to indicate that they are part of a new series. Existing maps from the previous series have been updated to these new versions.
  • Completing a map as part of a Zana mission now counts towards your Atlas' Map Completion and any associated challenges or achievements.
  • The Springs map has been replaced by the Fungal Hollow map. Existing Springs maps will now open portals to Fungal Hollow.
  • The Acid Lakes map has been replaced by the Acid Caverns map. Existing Acid Lakes maps will now open portals to Acid Caverns.
  • The Tribunal map has been replaced by the Crater map. Existing Tribunal maps will now open portals to Crater.
  • The Gorge map has been replaced by the Glacier map. Existing Gorge maps will now open portals to Glacier.
  • The Torture Chamber map has been replaced by the Primordial Blocks map. Existing Torture Chambers maps will now open portals to the Lunaris Temple. Kidding! It'll open a portal to Primordial Blocks.
  • Sextants that previously forced the appearance of one of the old masters now force the appearance of one of the new ones instead.
  • Increased the average number of monsters spawned inside an Abyssal Depths area.
  • The Atlas icons which indicate that a certain map contains a Memory Fragment will now correctly state whether it is the boss, an Elder Guardian or the Elder itself that holds it.
  • Vision of Justice and The Goddess' Projectile Barrage skills have changed in such a way that instead of multiplying the number of projectiles these skills fire, additional projectiles add to the total number of projectiles fired.

Zana League Mods Available During 3.5.0

Quest Rewards

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where the Stoneskin Flayer's skill effects and audio would linger after death, despite not even being a part of the Immortal Syndicate.
  • Fixed a bug where the Doryani's Touch skill wasn't visually scaling to its Area of Effect.
  • Fixed a bug where Detonate Dead could fail to detonate a detonatable corpse if there were non-detonatable corpses around.
  • Fixed a bug where Xoph's Nurture's 3D model was for the wrong basetype.
  • Fixed a bug which prevented Mjölner from triggering Orb of Storms.
  • Fixed a bug where it was possible to complete and uncomplete a challenge multiple times.
  • Fixed a bug where increased damage sources on minions were increasing damage in ways they shouldn't have been.
  • Fixed a bug where Blade Vortex's damage multipliers were also affecting the Decays it was applying.
  • Fixed a bug where using an instant skill would not remove the Phase Run buff.
  • Fixed a bug where mana spent as part of a reservation did not count towards sources that tracked and cared about mana spent (such as Kitava's Thirst).
  • Fixed a bug where having no movement speed prevented the use of instant skills.
  • Fixed a bug where using an instant skill and quickly swapping out that skill's gem with a non-instant skill would cause that new skill to be used instantly. Doing the reverse would cause your character to become stuck.
  • Fixed a bug (again!) where golem duration was being passed down from the Primordial jewels to the golems themselves when it should not have been.
  • Fixed a crash caused by attempting to use Detonate Mines after it had been given a mana cost and you did not have the mana required to use it.
  • Fixed a bug where casting Vaal Molten Shell while you already had a Vaal Molten Shell active would prevent Vaal Molten Shell from correctly detonating from prevented physical damage.
  • Fixed cases where old accounts could have Shaper's Strongholds on Guardian maps.
  • Fixed a bug where, with sources of Reduced Effect of Curses exceeding 100%, your curses would behave erratically.
  • Fixed a bug where the Shaper's Stronghold could spawn on maps that weren't adjacent to Elder influence (this was unintended).
  • Fixed a bug which prevented Cannibal Fire-Eater spectres from doing anything but auto-attacking large bosses.
  • Fixed some cases where monsters could become untargetable in the Delve Undead Rhoa encounter and the Laboratory map.
  • Fixed an instance crash with Zerphi's Last Breath.
  • Fixed a rare instance crash related to Banners.
  • Fixed a bug where an area would fail to generate, sending the player to the login screen.
  • Fixed an instance crash in Incursions.
  • Fixed an instance crash in Syndicate Transportation and Research missions.
  • Fixed an instance crash in the Primordial Blocks Map.
  • Temporarily disabled the Blood Chieftain throw ape skill to prevent an instance crash that occurred when they tried to throw players.
  • Fixed a bug where The Beachhead Map dropped no items. 
  • Fixed an instance crash that would occur in the Labyrinth when using a switch to change the path of spinning blade traps.
  • Fixed a bug where some Delve areas at low depth levels would fail to generate.
  • Fixed an instance crash that could occur when in combat with Riker Maloney.
  • Fixed an instance crash that could occur when Masters teleported to you.
  • Fixed a rare instance crash that could occur when changing areas.
  • Fixed some typso.

Thnx GGG for this.

These new Xbox Changes will take some getting use to.

Xbox-Specific Changes
The default quick-identify button is now B (previously it was A).
You can now identify items while a vendor window is open (or even while the item is in the vendor window) by highlighting that item and pressing B.
If you're targeting a monster out of Arc's range, Arc will now target a monster within its range instead.
Your quality setting is now saved between sessions.
"Removed corpse-targetting for all skills except Raise Spectre. To target a corpse with Raise Spectre, you must now hold down your Raise Spectre button and then select the corpse you wish to raise..
Changed the way skills lock onto targets. You will continue to target enemies even as they move around the battlefield.
You can now buy full stacks of items from a vendor with X.
You can now zoom your minimap in and out in the Options menu.

thank you for the update we appreciate it
For some reason my game won’t update. I’ve tried starting the game to see if it prompts but it doesn’t and I’ve tried seeing if the update is listed under queue and it’s not.
So still no Party board, Guilds, or chat box. That's disappointing. Thanks GGG.
