Path of Exile developers will urgently revamp the "Flameblast Curse" following player feedback

Path of exile developers will urgently revamp the flameblast curse following player feedback

The devs of Path of Exile posted a quick wrap-up of the "Curse of Allflame" launch — and they're already lining up a major patch. Reaction from the community made it clear: some of the new mechanics felt stingy, and a few systems need more than a tweak.

Planned adjustments include:

  • more valuable loot overall (better drop rates in key encounters)
  • increased frequency of chests containing currency and maps
  • buffed rewards from voyage modifiers
  • a redo of route generation so runs feel less random
  • and fixing the awkward placement of the Allflame Lantern

The team also wants to make it easier to unlock progression features, initiate expeds, and follow the current voyage route in-game. Aside from sailing, other areas will get attention: mercenaries (mercs) will be stronger, the new Luminary class will see tweaks, Abyss rewards will be redesigned, and a bundle of serious bugs will be addressed — crashes, skills behaving oddly, minimap problems, and league-related issues among them.

They stress this is only part of what's planned; hotfixes will arrive piecemeal as they're ready. If you want the source notes, check the official post on Steam.
