0.9.5f Patch Notes

Here's today's patch, which fixes some important issues. We haven't been able to patch in new major content recently because most of our developers are still on holiday. Big things are coming soon!

Version 0.9.5f

• Kraityn can now use Flicker Strike.
• Fixed a server crash that would occur when certain skeletons in the Maelstrom of Chaos attempted to attack.
• Changed the armour increase mods on hybrid armours so that they increase both of the relevant armour types. For example, a templar armour will now have an equal increase to both Armour and Energy Shield. Old items are unmodified.
• Fixed a bug where the description of the "of Wealth" mod would show on certain Unique monsters.
• Further increased the drop rate of monsters with the "of Wealth" mod.
• Corrected a Two Handed Accuracy passive skill to 12% (instead of 6%).
• Increased the world level of The Cave (in the Old Fields).
• Fixed a bug that caused attribute mods to not spawn on the appropriate armour pieces correctly. Strength can now spawn on general strength armour pieces, for example.
• Added another Rocky Climb topology.
• Changed the Silverbranch unique bow so that all new instances of it that drop require character level 1 rather than 7.
• Fixed the entrance to the Tidal Island so that it highlights and shows up on the map.
• Fixed other minor terrain bugs.
• Fixed a problem with item mod generation that could cause the wrong mods to be generated.

Where's my cooldown mechanic, Chris?

WHERE ARE MAH TOTEMS?!

Also, thematically speaking, shouldn't Oak then use Leap Slam and Alira use Lightning Warp?

I'll tell you where they are not. They are not in a minor bug fix patch entirely produced over the Christmas holidays.

been checking every 30m or so to see if the servers lag goes away.been lagging the second i logged in after patching which was hours ago.

If you have a program called "Pando Media Booster" installed, uninstall it and see if your lag problems go away.

I dont think that it is related - I also do have LoL with the rest of the crap accompanying it (AIR, bando etc) ... and unless server lags for everyone else too I always have about 30-40latency ( my location - central UK )

It's very common for LoL users to report that Path of Exile is lagging and that this clears up when Pando is uninstalled.

opinions aside. ggg had a serious server error. i voiced that error. not everyone uses their shit dl installer some people pay for lol.

with that aside for a dev to blame another company w/o looking into his own first is downright sad. and then a community of trolls backing it up is even worse.

had the dev actully logged in and looked that night he woulda seen said issues. as with any east coast na user.

so rally up n band 2gether for ignorance is the future!

In most cases, reports of lag boil down to bad connectivity between ISPs. We forward these reports to our (large datacentre) ISP so that they can investigate. They often come back to us quickly saying that they've worked with the other ISP to fix the bad connection.

If you're still getting lag issues, please send us a traceroute (tracert command in windows) of your connection to pathofexile.com and let us know what ISP you're with. I believe there's a thread about this in the bug reports forum with more specific instructions.
