Path of Exile is releasing the 3.6.3b patch to fix the partial remains of glitches and exploits in the latest iteration Synthesis League and other content. Reportedly, this is the fourth patch has been deployed since the release of Synthesis league.  Most of this patch, according to the patch notes on the official website, is to address the issues that have been haunting on Synthesis league all the time. It also includes some other content of fixing the miscellaneous bugs deep within the game. Nevertheless, the centerpiece of this patch is the Synthesis part, nothing more.  "Essence and Fossils can be used on Fractured Items" literally tops the list of the highlights from the synthesis part of this patch. Since there have been advocacies of patching up "Essence and Fossils" issues on the very next day of Synthesis league debut. I would think it's fair enough to say this issue was becoming the most concerned pain point and it's rather advisable to addr...

We are not fans of Forza Horizon 4’s Festival Playlist, introduced in Series 7. However, after a backlash from the community, it looks like Playground Games is exploring a patch to make it more palatable. The question remains though, is it enough to fix it? According to the Forza Week in Review for March 22, the new patch will lower the 100% completion reward to just 80%. Sounds great right? Well, it still poses a problem and continues to force players to play the way PG wants you to play. In order to get an 80% completion, you still need to participate in multiplayer events. This means you’re still relying on other people in order to complete the events. The Luck of the Random Teammate Draw For example, let’s look at the Trial. For the Autumn Season, players need to team up and beat another team of Drivatars on the unbeatable difficulty. You also need to turn up in an S2 998 class hypercar, which adds to the challenge just a bit. In theory, completing this event seems like someth...

Allegedly, Path of Exile plans on launching the first patch to address some admittedly hot issues after the Synthesis league went live. Some issues were claimed to "negatively affect" players or be rampantly abused by the ones with ulterior motives.  There is obviously a list of issues waiting to be addressed yet most of them are still swept under the carpet. One can be confirmed is Watcher's Eye, the unique Jewel in the game which can only drop from The Tier 6 maps or higher if the Sharper lives. Based on the developer's story, one of the modifiers that exclusively applies to this Jewel has its parameter excessively enhanced so that this item, Watcher's Eye is "more powerful than intended".  The parameter, which is "30" in the "30% increased Maximum total Recovery per second from Energy Shield Leech while affected by Zealotry" modifier as was originally designed, moved up to "180" after the Synthesis league release ...

After the January 31 game update, MapleStory 2 devs noticed that players were experiencing a fundamental change regarding how animations work in MapleStory 2. Upon investigation, they found that transitional animations (animations that appear between two actions) were not displaying for all actions. This was a bug and not an intended change to the way the game works. it became clear to devs that this bug had beneficial side effects that some players preferred, such as faster casting time for certain skills or quicker responses with the game’s action at the cost of jarring animation transitions. Because of this, an internal discussion about how they might be able to retain the benefits while addressing the “broken animation” aspect was issued. However, after carefully reviewing the issue in full, devs found out that the impact of this bug differs significantly between classes, due to differences in each class’s skill animations and transitions. This meant that certain classes w...

RuneScape devs team issued a patch note of tweaks and improvements they prepped up for Loot Sharing and Stone Spirits in the game, as a potent demonstration of perfectly performing its own New Year's resolutions in this phase. The patch note mainly focused on the major improvements to Loot Sharing, Stone Spirits, and several other functionalities within the game. It's also the remodification of some imperfections caused by the overdone tweaks from last Smithing & Mining Rework update.  For starters, let's take a look at what's happened in Loot Sharing, shall we? For Loot Sharing, RuneScape devs added a new feature to the Loot Sharing system that allowing the players to give away their own loots to anyone else in the same friends chat without no longer adding these people to the friend lists first. With this feature added on, there are plenty of conveniences created and a few more time saved for both sides of parties no doubt in the game.  The Second ...

This may sound thoroughly cruel to all the fanboys and diehards of obsolete Windows XP and Windows Vista operating system - but they have been cornered for a few years, and recently what they are rooting for received a mortal blow from Path of Exile. Based on the earlier announcement from Path of Exile publisher Grinding Gear Games, the game will no longer support Windows XP and Windows Vista System in two months. Starting this project off by launching the major update of the game on March: 3.6.0 patch, the game will finally weed out these two out-of-date PC operating systems along with the old renderer: DirectX 9, while it still provides a two-month-long preparation time for all the players who still hang on to the "antiques" to digest and move on to update the new versions of them, or get rid of the game for good instead.  This decision made by Grinding Gear Games isn't out of impulse at all. Based on the information and details given by the official announ...

Grinding Gear Games has announced their development plan for Path of Exile in February on the official website. Within less than 300 total words written down on, the brief announcement of the next month's plan actually became the blockbuster to everyone else' surprise.  First of all, as mentioning the earlier deploy of 3.5.2 patch into the game, Grinding Gear Games devs team revealed that they are still monitoring the effectiveness of these implanted patches and hotfixes , as well as the running circumstance of the whole game in case of more issues breaking out in some time. Then, the most eye-catching part of this story is the company claimed to launch a press tour for the next Path of Exile expansion: 3.6.0 patch . It's definitely unprecedented and extremely astonishing given that there is literally no record at all for this company confronting with media and journalists previously and the next patch is the first and one of the most significant updates sinc...

There is possibly a gameplay problem in FIFA each year that besets and slightly devastate the online playing experience. And this year it's an issue of most FIFA fans' acquaintance, finesse shooting, which has been intensified in the past but nerfed in recent years.  If you've been into the FIFA 19 competitive matches and activities - and this becomes increasingly genuine the farther climb up the competitive ladder - you'll know that finesse shots are a problem and stand for a majority of goals scored. If you have adequate awareness and experience in the game, a finesse shot from the right angle and distance is almost an automatic goal, meaning the victory of the goal is sealed, unless the other player really is the master of controlling their goalkeepers, which most aren't.  As a result, FIFA 19 fans have been ranting on the Internet about the appear-to-be easy exploit for a while now, meanwhile, there's been no patch or anything that has really a...

A few days ago, Playground Games, the developer of Forza Horizon 4,  has removed "Carlton" and "Floss" dances from this prestigious open-world racing game. The studio released an update earlier today that contains a batch of improvements and new contents. But this patch would also be a quick fix that manages to help the developer Playground Games and its parent firm & the game's publisher Microsoft Studios get rid of an upcoming lawsuit by removing the Carlton, and Floss dance emotes that in-game characters were able to perform previously between races.  Hip Hop artist 2 Milly sued Fortnite developer Epic Games in December 2018 for cribbing original dance moves from him. The Battle Royale shooter game previously rolled out a series of new emotes that were soon after considered as duplicates of 2 Milly's Milly Rock dance as well as dances like the Carlton, Floss, and more. Since then, others have come after joining that suit including Russel...

Earlier today, Grinding Gear Games has announced the development plan for 2019 of its prestigious title: Path of Exile. As the unprecedented success that the game has pulled off since the release of new Betrayal Expansion, Grinding Gear Games and the game devs team have the prevailing view of a brighter prospect of the game shortly.  The Path of Exile devs team previously took a couple of weeks off from its work by convention. Recently the crew was back to work from the holiday in droves. The development plan is not only the declaration of this year's blueprint but also a wake-up call to their staff it's time to be back on track and throw themselves into another grand journey. Based on the information the plan from Path of Exile devs just revealed, the game planned to roll out four major updates from Patch 3.6.0 to Patch 3.9.0 in this year. All four updates will share the same formula as the previous ones did: Introducing a challenge league, various expansion ...
