Path of Exile: Legion - What We're Working On

Thanks GGG! This league is awsome, you really do a great job again ;)

Thanks a lot GGG keep the great work.

I like a lot the LEgion Icons not being visible Before you foudn them, its a speed treasure hunt as melee its fun, even if you miss some, there is 1every map so just need to be better a finding and taggin the one you need^^.

But adding the icon in the Minimap "once" you tagged it, that seems a good point to avoid retagging the same twice^^.

+1 for the UI of incubators, this will be really helpfull (because when you are delving and rush sometimes you just miss that it fall on the ground, or during LEgion encounter you didn't even tick its an incubator Item but a Legion reward^^.

So far, melee feels great (at least Cyclone, BladeStorm and Sweep i've tested), can't wait to try other builds.

We've seen a few players request that we increase the visibility of Legion icons over monsters, generals and chests as well as adding them to the minimap. One of our earlier iterations of the Legion league included symbols for monsters, chests and generals on the minimap. During playtesting, we found that it felt really bad, as people would spend most of their time looking at the minimap rather than focusing on the combat in front of them.

Your play-testing decisions are very reasonable. I'm happy with where we're at with it currently, keep it as it is. This is definitely one of the best leagues you've ever released and I'll definitely be playing past 94. Thanks and keep up the hard work! :D

Please, also improve/increase/add sound effect when you break Icon Legion Mobs, so you know when to stop attacking. Thanks.

Could u guys please HIGHLIGHT the legion bosses.. cuz its very difficult to see them.. i missed those bosses quiet much since i cant see them :(


anyway keep up the good work...

Any information about a fix for the crash that just seems to happen randomly and for no particular reason? It just behaves like an alt+f4 and no error is generated. In my case, these seem to occur every 30mins or so.

Exactly this !!!!

I did not experience any of the mentioned issues, but 50 times ( !!!! ) during yesterday playing the random client crash !

Not related to anything, happened during various different occasions !

First of all, great work with the melee rework! As an-almost exclusive melee player I can appreciate this a lot.

Now, onto the visibility issue, I think icon visibility might still not be the solution? Allow me to expand:

Icon visibility will improve awareness of what mob clusters (AoE is the name of the game this league) to hit first. This fixes the visibility issue WHEN and IF Legion encounters (amount of mobs, spawn spread, on-screen/off-screen density) are under ideal conditions -- in short = open areas and/or with minimal visual/physical clutter.

The aforementioned still does not provide aid to one's awareness of how much of the encounter is left to hit and to what degree the mechanic's value is being unwillingly ignored.

After some thinking: Couldn't we get a similar system to what we currently have in Incursions? A simple bar providing visual feedback on how much of the encounter has been hit could go a long way, especially on oddly shaped encounters (walls, corners, maze-like areas).

Further into this idea even; each mob-type could be given a numeric relevance towards the total amount of mobs spawned, something along the lines of:

Boss Encounter: 30% of the bar, proportional to the 100% total spawned value.
Unique Mobs / Generals: 20% of the bar, proportional to the 100% total spawned value.
Chests / Loot Mobs: 10% of the bar, proportional to the 100% total spawned value.
Rare Mobs: 5% of the bar, proportional to the 100% total spawned value.
Trash Mobs: 1% of the bar, proportional to the 100% total spawned value.

The %s are hypothetical to better illustrate my point.

TLDR; Icon visibility fixes encounters which are easy-to-read to begin with (good spread, open map) but does not properly provide an objective understanding of how much is left to be killed on and off-screen. This becomes a bigger issue on oddly-shaped maps where movement is somewhat constricted. The suggestion is to add a completion bar similar to what we currently have in Incursions.



Have a great one!
