We have reduced the master level required for larger hideout sizes. You can now upgrade your hideout at levels 5 and 7 (rather than 6 and 8) respectively.[/li]

This is amazing! I'll have a next size hideout!!!

All together great path, GGG, looking forward to it!

I found a bug: you can invite a fourth master to your large hideout, but you can't then change that hideout to the hideout of another level 7 master, the message is redded out and says that it'll be too small. Eg. I have a large Elreon hideout and I wanted to check out Tora's hideout, she is also level 7, her "claim hideout" is red and gives the message "that hideout would be too small to house all your current masters..."

Hope this report helps.

If you think about it, this really is no longer an ARPG about finding loot. Its about grinding your alterations and saving up to trade someone who got lucky. I've been playing PoE for quite a long time now, and I've self-found perhaps 8-10 exalteds over 2 year period. Never seen a Shavs/Mjolner drop. Haven't seen an Eternal either, and I'm no casual player. Very disheartening.

A-men! I'm in the same boat, being an at-home invalid I play several hours a day everyday and have found less than 10 Exalted since starting to play 572 days, 22 hours ago.

Also I've never found a Shav's, Mjolner, Eternal orb. I hear there's something called a Mirror of Kalandra that sells for ~170 Exalteds...

Meanwhile after all that time I'd just got to the stage where I could run level 72 maps (by trading - how else?) and the last patch nerfed my character *and* made the >lvl 68 maps MUCH harder to run.

As an invalid I run solo as I need breaks etc. which doesn't go down well with parties. I started off wanting to play self-found but had to give up on that six months ago. I strongly dislike trading for game items - if I wanted to trade I'd do it for real money buy/selling currency rather than grinding for Alts to upgrade to currency and buy minor upgrades for my toon.

This ain't fun anymore. :(

Ignore

I like dem apples tart ggg, and in a big bag. Just sayin'.

By this logic, we shouldn't gain any magic find bonus for party play. You have no foundation or argument to stand on.

I actually agree that you shouldn't get +iir/iiq for party. It's the exact same premise, and I hope they take what they've done with cartos and apply it to MF, too.

Argument's quite solid, thanks for making it for me.

+1 - Count me in on that sentiment.

I have Lv7 vagan. But i cannot expand my hidout to four master.....
please check this bug...

The patch seems fine. I can't believe how many people love to complain so much.
The Elreon changes were necessary or the game was way unbalanced with elite items becoming common. So what if you have to grind more currency or not, what do you want this to be CandyLand?
It's a gear grind game. That's the point. If you made it easy for casual players to get elite items, then they wouldn't be elite.
The easiest thing to do if you don't like patch notes, is pretend that the patch was always in place. Yeah...did some people get an advantage by playing an earlier version of the game? Sure. It's just like legacy items. Big deal. Cry a little more.

Another example of another player that has NO clue what they are talking about. It has nothing to do with grind, its to do with artificial inflation of exalted orbs and things that cost 1ex+. Its okay to have an opinion but you are just plain ignorant.

The bug is apparent due to a hasty last minute call to help smooth us all over for having crafting gutted, give em a day and they'll sort it out.
