Patch notes

These are the official patch notes for Path of Exile 2 version 0.2.0d released by Grinding Gear Games.

• The Freedom of Faith Unique Tablet now has "Can Reroll Favours at Ritual Altars in your Maps twice as many times" (from being able to reroll them infinitely). This affects existing versions of the item, as well as existing maps influenced by this tablet. This change is in the wake of an item exploit that was occurring, the exploit was fixed approximately 8 hours ago preventing any further abuse and we are currently in the process of banning those who abused it and removing the wealth generated by it from the economy.
• Added a new Spear skill: Cull The Weak. A fast dash with Culling Strike that grants a Frenzy Charge when it kills enemies.
• Cull The Weak is offered at uncut gem tier 3+. Spearfield has been moved from tier 3+ to tier 5+.
• Elemental Sundering now pauses the Freeze, Shock and Ignites on targets when building up to explode, and now consumes them when exploding. Previously the ailment was removed as soon as the buildup began, this change has been made so targets remain frozen until the explosion.
• Additional and barraged projectiles for Whirlwind Lance are now distributed closer together, spread out on and behind the targeted location.
• Flesh Larva monsters can no longer be imprisoned in Essences.
• Fixed a bug where the Ancestral Spirits skill, granted by the Answered Call Warbringer Ascendancy Passive Skill, wasn't triggering when Summoning a Totem.
• Fixed a bug where taming a beast in the Trial of the Sekhemas or Trials of Chaos could prevent you from progressing the encounters.
• Fixed a bug where Convalescence would shapeshift you out of Demon Form.
• Fixed a bug where modifiers to melee splash radius were applying twice.
• Fixed a bug where the fight with Connal, the Tormented in the Willow Map would not correctly restart if you failed the first attempt.
• Fix a bug where Toxic Growth could not be supported by Overabundance.

Hotfixes

The following hotfixes were deployed after the 0.2.0d patch.

Hotfix 1

These are the patch notes for hotfix 1.

• At higher tiers of Maps, the amount of Waystone chance increase required to guarantee Map drops from Final Rares or Map Bosses is now lower. You now need less Waystone chance to ensure a Map drops from these conditions at Tier12+ Maps, notably changing at Tier14+. This results in easier sustain at the top tiers of Endgame.
• Temporarily disabled the Treant Foulspawn as a Spectre.
• Fixed a bug where Skeletal Clerics would fail to follow the player.
• Fixed a client crash related to the Ancestral Warrior Totem.
• Fixed a client crash related to using Storm Lance while in a party.
• Fixed another client crash that could happen while in a party.

You will need to restart your client to receive some of the client changes in this hotfix

Hotfix 2

These are the patch notes for hotfix 2.

• During party play in campaign areas, "Respawn at Checkpoint" now automatically respawns all players together into the new Instance of the area.
• During party play in campaign areas, "Respawn at Checkpoint" is now only allowed if either the game is paused or all other players are dead.
• The game now automatically pauses while a respawn is in progress.
• Being dead no longer prevents party members from pausing.
