1.2.0 Patch Notes

Version 1.2.0: Forsaken Masters
Notes:

• Due to substantial balance changes, every existing character has been granted an optional full passive reset. To use this, click the "Reset all Passives" button on the passive skill screen. Note that you must use this before allocating or refunding any other points otherwise the option will go away.

New Three-Month Challenge Leagues:

• Challenge leagues are a great opportunity for a fresh start. All your old characters and items are still present in the Standard and Hardcore leagues, but you're encouraged to join the new economies, complete challenges and climb the ladder!
• This pair of challenge leagues will run for three months - from August 20 to November 20, US time.
• The new challenge leagues include a set of eight new challenges! Players who complete five or eight of the challenges receive an exclusive microtransaction helmet skin. The first 50 players to complete all eight challenges will receive an exclusive Rampage/Beyond challenge shirt.
• Rampage: Rampage is a standard league where kill streaks cause devastating effects to occur. Each kill causes you to become slightly faster and deal more damage. The kill streak wears off after five seconds of no kills.
• Beyond: Beyond is a Hardcore league (characters who die are converted to Standard characters). In the Beyond league, demons from another realm are attempting to invade Wraeclast. Monster kills have a chance to cause small portals to appear. If enough portals spawn close together, a larger portal opens and demons flow forth. Several of those larger portals close together can open a third tier that results in one of several truly terrifying entities to emerge.
• Out of the 15 total Unique items added in this update, there are three new Unique items that can only drop in in the Rampage challenge league, and three that can only drop in the Beyond challenge league.

Core Forsaken Masters Features:

Seven men and women, masters in their fields, stood against Dominus' tyranny. Some with words, others with steel. Seven masters forsaken, sent to die in a corrupted land. Seven masters who lived, learned, and now thrive in Wraeclast. Seven Forsaken Masters who can train you... if you choose to help them.

• The seven Forsaken Masters each have their own style of mission and each of these missions has many variations. As you explore deeper into Wraeclast, the pool of available variations increases to challenge you in new ways. All of the missions and their variations can occur anywhere in the game, including within end-game Maps. Once you've helped a master with their mission once, they appear in regular towns to talk to.
• Completing missions earns you reputation (which contributes to the level of that master) and favour (used for purchasing decorations for your hideout).
• Each master acts as a vendor for items. The range of items increases with each master level (up to a chance at being offered a Unique item at level 8). Their inventory refreshes after you start each daily mission with them.
• Each master has one special build-enabling crafting mod that is only available on a magic item sold by them. It's up to you whether you use it as-is, augment it to add one more mod or use Regal/Exalted orbs to try to create an amazing rare.
• You can claim a personalised hideout for free from any level 3 or higher master. Once you have a hideout, you can travel there using the waypoint panel. Hideouts are shared among all your characters in that league. Each master has their own distinctive hideout tileset on offer.
• You can allow access to friends, party members and guild members from within your hideout (on the Hideout Stash screen). Hideouts can hold up to 32 players at once.
• Once masters are at level 2, they can be invited to your hideout. While in your hideout, they offer you daily missions which provide 250% reputation and favour. If your friends help you with a daily mission, they receive normal reputation and favour.
• The size of your hideout affects how many masters it can hold. It starts with a capacity of two, but can be upgraded to three or four when your master reaches levels six and eight respectively. This also modifies the amount of space in your hideout.
• Dismissing a master from your hideout removes any reputation they have on their current level.
• Talking to a master in your hideout allows you to receive a Crafting Bench that can be placed in your hideout. The bench levels up with the master and has more options with each level. You can still use a crafting bench even after you've dismissed that master from your hideout. Visitors can't use your crafting benches.
• Vorici allows you to modify an item's sockets and links with his crafting bench.
• Zana allows you to open end-game Maps at a personal Map Device in your hideout. Mods can be purchased that affect the Map as it is opened.
• The other five masters allow you to craft an mod onto an item. To craft an item, click on the bench, place an item in the window and select a mod. Mods purchased in this way appear in a slightly different colour than normal. They can be removed by level 8 crafting benches.
• Note that these mods obey normal rules. You can't have more than three prefixes, three suffixes or six mods in total. You can't craft a mod onto a magic item that has both a prefix and a suffix. It must be upgraded to a rare item with a Regal Orb first.
• Hideout decorations can be purchased from masters in exchange for favour. Each master has a separate favour total. These decorations appear in your Hideout Stash. You can place them in the world by right clicking on them and clicking somewhere in your hideout. They can then be dragged around, rotated (use the radial slider or R/Shift+R keys) or reclaimed (Delete key). The arrow keys can also be used to move the selected decoration. The mousewheel (or PageUp/PageDown keys) cycles between different variations of the decoration.
• Forsaken Masters supporter packs include hideout banners. These appear in your microtransaction stash and can also be placed in the world as decorations. When reclaimed, these will go to your microtransaction stash. We will later sell some other cosmetic hideout decorations/environments/tilesets in our microtransaction shop.
• When the new challenge leagues end, your hideout stashes will be merged with the destination leagues (Rampage with Standard, Beyond with Hardcore). Your favour totals will be added together. The highest reputation value with each master will be used.

Major Features/Content:

• We've added an optional Quest Tracker, which displays your current quest objectives on the right side of the screen. This is also used to display the current objective of the Master Mission you're in at the time.
• We've added various Tutorials to the start of the game. They're designed to be non-intrusive and can be disabled or reset in the options.
• Added a new Dexterity skill - Tornado Shot: Fire a piercing shot that travels until it reaches the targeted location. It will then fire projectiles out in all directions from that point.
• Added a new Strength/Intelligence skill - Herald of Ash: Channel fire through your hands, adding fire to your physical damage. If you kill an enemy with an attack, other enemies near them will be ignited for the overkill damage.
• Added a new Dexterity/Intelligence skill - Herald of Ice: Channel ice through your hands, adding cold damage to spells and attacks. If you shatter an enemy, they explode and deal cold damage to enemies near them.
• Added a new Dexterity skill - Poacher's Mark: A curse that reduces enemy evasion, grants you life and mana when you hit them, increases your flask charge gain and has a chance to grant you a Frenzy Charge when you kill them.
• Added a new Strength/Intelligence support gem - Generosity: Auras linked to Generosity have increased Aura effect for your allies, but do not affect you.
• Many boss fights (including Brutus and Merveil) have been improved. See the notes below for specific changes.
• Added 15 new Unique items. Seven of these were designed by supporters.

Minor Features/Content:

• We've added a new Duelist Rogue Exile called Zacharie Desmarais. This exile uses Molten Strike and Lightning Strike.
• We've added a new Marauder Rogue Exile called Vickas Giantbone. This exile uses Ethereal Knives totems and Bear Trap as well as Vulnerability curse and Enfeeble on Damage Taken.
• We've added a new Shadow Rogue Exile called Wilorin Demontamer. He uses Ball Lightning, Storm Call and specialises in Critical Strikes.
• Added PvP Spectator mode. Use the new /spectate (character name) command or right-click someone on your friends list and choose the Spectate option. The specified character must be a mutual friend currently in a PvP area. You must also meet the quest and level requirements for that area yourself. You can use /town to return to your most recent town. You can use the arrow keys to change the perspective of which character you're spectating.
• We've substantially improved the detail of error messages for various activities. For example, when a currency item fails to apply to another item, it now gives a detailed error message explaining why.
• We've improved the user interface and moved many commonly used elements to a menu to make feature discovery easier for new players.
• When respecialising bandit quests, if the use of the book would fail, you now receive an error message explaining why. If it would succeed, you now see a confirmation prompt that explains what will change.
• Flasks now refill when entering a PvP area, unless you're in a Famine league.

Content from the Ambush/Invasion Leagues:

• After the last two challenge leagues ended, we've folded their content into the core Path of Exile experience in the following ways:
• Strongboxes can now spawn in all leagues, starting from the Submerged Passage in Normal difficulty. The weightings of each Strongbox type has been adjusted with ordinary Strongboxes being much more common than other variants. Mods for these Strongboxes have been adjusted. Cartographer's Boxes now have lower values of some Strongbox mods.
• The new quiver progression added in Ambush and Invasion has now been introduced to all leagues. The old Standard and Hardcore quivers will no longer drop. The unique Blackgleam will drop on the Fire Arrow Quiver basetype. The unique Broadstroke will no longer drop.
• The Voideye and Vaal Caress Unique items will no longer drop, as they are homed to the Ambush and Invasion leagues.
• The Invasion monster pack and guest-monster system has been made standard for the entire game. Early areas have some new monster varieties as a result, and there's more monster diversity in later difficulties.
• Some Invasion bosses have been reintroduced as regular unique monsters:
• The Guardian of the Mound has been rebalanced and added to The Prisoner's Gate.
• Spinesnap has been rebalanced and added to the Slums Sewers.
• The Revenant has been rebalanced and added to The Docks.
• Tailsinger has been rebalanced and added to The Riverways.
• Kall Foxfly has been rebalanced and added to The Blackwood.

General Balance Changes:

• Player life per level has been increased from 8 to 12.
• Monster elemental resistances have been reworked. Many of the more common monsters types no longer have resistances in Normal difficulty. Some more challenging monster types will have resistances and Unique monsters will have a large amount of an appropriate resistance. All main questline, Map and corrupted area bosses have elemental and chaos resistance, though at a lower value.
• All cases of "snapshotting" have been fixed. If you change your items or support gems, then any persistent effects of skills (for example, minions or auras) will update to reflect the changes. You no longer gain benefit from items or gems that are not currently equipped.
• Shock and Shocked Ground have been changed so that they cause 50% increased damage taken (rather than 30%) but no longer stack. They do not stack with each other either. "Cannot Be Shocked" now prevents players being affected by either Shocked Ground or Shock itself.
• Higher level maps are now slightly harder than before.
• Corrupted secret areas offer greater a chance of fragments in later difficulties. The chance of corrupted secret areas spawning has been adjusted.
• Corrupted secret areas can no longer spawn in the first area of an act (the one before the town of the act).
• Blind now reduces hit chance by 50% rather than by 75%.
• Both physical and elemental damage reflection from monster auras have been reduced from 15% to 14% reflection.
• In 1v1 duels and 3v3 PvP, Conversion Trap no longer affects players.
• The Trap and Mine support gems now have multiplicative damage bonuses that are specific to traps and mines respectively. This means that you can't cast a skill through a trap and a mine for double bonuses. In addition, Trap and Mine damage bonuses now do not benefit minions cast through traps or mines.
• The Reduced Mana support gem is now available for all classes as a quest reward.
• Totem life increases have been increased to compensate for the fixing of a bug where they applied twice.

General Skill Balance:

• Early quest rewards have been reworked. The Shadow now gets Viper Strike as their first gem, while the Duelist gets Double Strike. Several other early rewards have been changed and adjusted.
• The mana cost of all skills has been revised. In general most skills have had their mana costs reduced. Much of the mana cost reduction is focused on skill levels that fall between player levels 20 and 40.
• Vaal skills can no longer be supported by Trigger Gems.

Skill Reworks:

• Arctic Breath: Cast time has been reduced from 1000ms to 800ms. The mana cost has been reduced further than other skills to account for the change in cast time. Its damage has been reduced by 20%.

• Viper Strike: This skill now adds 10% of physical damage as Chaos Damage and has a 50% chance to deal 175% of the attack's damage as chaos damage over seven seconds. The effect duration won't be refreshed by new attacks, but there is no limit to how many Viper Strike debuffs an enemy can have.
• Shockwave Totem: This skill now counts as Spell Damage. Damage has been increased by 15%. Its duration has been reduced.
• Warlord's Mark: This curse now has Increased Chance to be Stunned and Reduced Enemy Stun Recovery. The life and mana leech are now not specific to physical damage. It now has a lower chance to grant Endurance Charges on enemy death.

It looks like the following note was missed in the preparation of the patch notes:

• Quality on armour is now additive with other bonuses. Previously armour quality was multiplicative with final values. This is now consistent with how weapons work.
