By the end of the week, we're planning to deploy the 3.19.1 patch which addresses things such as balance changes to Archnemesis and Eldritch currency, as well as improvements to the Lake of Kalandra which were discussed in last week's news post. In this news post we've prepared a preview of its patch notes.
The following patch notes are still subject to change prior to the patch's deployment. We'll deploy the 3.19.1 update on consoles as soon as possible after its release on PC.
3.19.1 Patch Notes
Lake of Kalandra Changes
- Increased the amount of Reflecting Mist you encounter by roughly 50%.
- Breachlords spawned in Reflection of the Breachlord now spawn closer to the start of the Breach.
- Rock formations in the Lake of Kalandra now block projectiles, allowing you to hide from enemy attacks.
- Widened some bridges connecting Reflection Tiles in the Lake of Kalandra.
- League Reflections where Kalandra is present now have intro and outro dialogue.
Archnemesis Changes
- The Heralding Minions Archnemesis modifier can no longer be found on Delve monsters in the Azurite Mine. Monsters spawned at Legion, Breach or Beyond encounters in the Azurite Mine can still be found with this modifier.
- Rare monsters spawned during Boss fights are now limited to 2 Archnemesis modifiers.
- Rare monsters that do not drop loot are now limited to 2 Archnemesis modifiers.
- The Aura from the Executioner Archnemesis modifier and Verdant Spores inflicted by the Healing Nova from the Rejuvenating Archnemesis modifier no longer affect Player minions.
Beyond Changes
- The Life of Beyond Bosses has been lowered by roughly 5%, and the Life of all other Beyond monsters has been lowered by approximately 60%.
- Improved the outcome odds for the Tainted Orb of Fusing, Tainted Jeweller's Orb and Tainted Mythic Orb.
- Beyond Bosses can no longer spawn in Temporal Incursions.
Other Improvements and Changes
- Lowered the damage dealt to minions by League monster skills and endgame Map Boss skills that felt punishing, for example, Shaper's Beam and Slam skills, Tul, Creeping Avalanche's Barrage skill, and many of Sirus, Awakener of Worlds' skills, amongst many others.
- Eldritch Exalted Orbs, Eldritch Chaos Orbs and Eldritch Orbs of Annulment now drop in lower area levels, and their drop rate has also been buffed.
- Marks applied to you by a monster are now removed if you move a great distance away from the monster.
- Lowered the number of Rare and Magic monsters spawned during Harvest Boss encounters.
- The Horticrafting Station now displays how much Lifeforce of each type you have available.
- Reduced the likelihood a full sequence of Strongboxes could fail to spawn in areas affected by Alva's Memory of Cascading Fortunes.
- The "Confine Mouse to Window" Option now confines your mouse to be within the maximum supported aspect ratio for those using larger aspect ratios (to prevent accidentally clicking on black bars).
- Updated the description on Aegis Aurora's Energy Shield recovery to "Recover Energy Shield", previously "Replenishes Energy Shield". This is not a functional change.
- Added the Physical tag to the Poacher's Mark Skill Gem.
- Updated the Arctic Armour ground effect audio to be quieter.

- Fixed the Alternate Art Cloak of Flames Robe 3D art missing the lower half of the robe.
- Fixed a bug when using Controller input mode where the Map Device could reselect crafting options you could no longer afford.
- Fixed a bug where the Sentinel Locker and Seed Stockpile hideout decorations couldn't be highlighted while editing your hideout.

Let's move on to making next league better. You guys dropped the ball so hard on Kalandra.
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men.

Only 2% of the player base has killed Endgame bosses since they were released into the game. Yes please make the game harder. We love the vision. More rng plz and less loot. Thanks.

Are you happy with the current state of the game? Do you feel like this league is at an adequate standard for what the best ARPG company is capable of?
I am genuinely curious how the league and its changes are being perceived from your side. I think players have expressed how they feel, and you rebuttaled with several rounds of damage control; now, how do you think you did?
To me this feels like the game is being slowly pulled towards something that is compatible with PoE2 and PoE mobile: slower and nerfed.
You should think about what can make your game move forward, instead of trying to slow it down to a state where it stops progressing.
