0.10.4 Patch Notes

http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/274216
Version 0.10.4
Content:

• Added a new Dexterity/Intelligence skill - Arctic Armour: Summons an icy shield that protects against physical and fire damage. It drains your mana while active and at a faster rate while you are moving. When you have no mana left, the skill turns off. While active, it leaves a trail of ground ice which lasts for a short duration.
• Added three new cosmetic microtransaction effects: Stormcloud Arctic Armour, White Cyclone and Silver Wings (helmet effect). These can be purchased in the shop on the website.
• Added four new Unique items, two of which were designed by Diamond supporters.
• Continued to incrementally improve the art, effects and environments and audio.

Features:

• Quest rewards that used to grant passive skill points or passive refund points now give you a book that does the same thing when right clicked. This quest item cannot be traded and has been added to make the reward more understandable to new players.
• Item drops from monsters are now calculated based on the number of players nearby (13 metres - around six tiles, which is approximately a screen) rather than the number in the instance. The quantity of drops is based on the minimum of the number of players who were around at the start and end of the fight. This means that if you spawn a boss alone before bringing in friends to help (or if the friends leave during the fight) then it will only drop enough items for one person.
• You can now press Ctrl+C while hovering an item in chat to copy a description of the item (including itemlevel) to the clipboard.
• The Way Forward quest now appears in both Act One and Act Two after opening the passage.
• Special music has been added that plays when act bosses have been slain.
• When a player is teleported out of a bandit fight, their minions are now also. Their totems, traps and mines are now destroyed.
• All minion corpses, traps, totems, mines and player buffs are destroyed between PvP rounds.
• If you die after a PvP match ends, you now get the resurrect button, rather than having to log out.

Balance:

• The new skill, Arctic Armour, has been added to the quest rewards as follows: Ranger and Shadow (Caged Brute quest), Witch and Duelist (Intruders in Black quest) and Templar (Lost in Love quest), all on Normal difficulty.
• The damage effectiveness of Cyclone has been increased from 35% to 40%. We have also reduced the minimum distance it travels, so that you have more control. This distance is now about a third of what it was previously.
• Shockwave Totem now casts Shockwaves faster.
• +5% maximum resistances now occurs at level 23 of the Purity aura, rather than level 22.
• Tempest Shield now has a 0.5 second cooldown similar to auras, to prevent it being turned off by rapidly recasting it.
• Projectile speed mods are now listed on the website correctly.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed a bug with passive allocation by disabling the ability to Ctrl+click passives while there are other unapplied passive changes.
• Fixed a bug related to whether world map pins would be shown.
• Fixed a bug where clicking outside the vendor sell window would close it.
• The vendor looks in your first eight stash tabs for currency items when you're shopping. We have fixed it so that these are now your leftmost eight tabs.
• Fixed bugs related to monster life scaling in some party situations.
• Fixed a display bug with the experience bar's hover.

To clarify how the item drop changes: All players in the current area (which includes the whole map and any side areas accessible via teleporters that don't involve loading screens) are counted. For example, if you run up to Brutus but the rest of your party is still elsewhere in the Upper Prison (which is the same world area), then they are all counted. They have to be near you when Brutus dies, though. The radius for that check is 120 units (which is approximately 6 tiles or 13 metres (40 feet?).

I Love You Germany

You are most likely here for the spreadsheet, but i know some of you like the posts as well. It has been nearly 2 months since this spreadsheet was created, so i wanted to go over some interesting analytics.

• 60,962 unique visits.
• 68.76% are returning visitors.
• Over 85% of visitors use Adblock.
• 7,658 people have visited.
• 0% of those visitors have donated.
• The majority of visitors come from the United States, followed by Canada and Germany.
• Visitors from Germany have the largest average visit duration of 2 minutes and 26 seconds. This is nearly double of most other countries. Do i need to learn German and make a German spreadsheet as well?

0.10.3c Patch Notes

http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/268683

Version 0.10.3c

• Magic items are no longer allocated to specific players when they drop. The only items allocated are: Uniques, Rares, Gems, Currency and Maps.
• Increased the base duration of the item allocation timer from 1.6 seconds to 2.6 seconds. There is still a bonus allocation time for characters that are a distance away (travel time +10%).
• Allocated items no longer show a countdown timer or player name. They are still dimmed out while they are allocated to someone else.
• These changes were made to reduce the number of allocated items (for readability), increase their allocation duration (for fairness) and to reduce the visual chaos associated with the timer and allocation name appearing and disappearing (for readability). In our testing it is now much easier to see what items bosses drop and to click the items that are allocated to you.

These changes are the result of a lot of internal testing and discussion of player feedback. We will certainly make changes to the looting system in the future based on continued feedback. After you've tried out the new patch, we'd like to hear:

• Was it easier to read what items drop now that fewer are allocated and the size of the item hovers doesn't change?
• Does the increased allocation duration help enough in terms of being able to grab items in time assuming you react quickly?

0.10.3b Patch Notes

Tip of the Day #6

When you vendor 5 of the same item type, you will receive a new rerolled unidentified item of the same type. The items must be magic or rare quality. The example below shows 5 imbued wands being vendored for a new rerolled unidentified imbued wand.
