Patch Notes

This patch adds resurrection support for more endgame content and support for renaming characters via the website, as well as other improvements and bug fixes.

Improvements and changes

Added up to five resurrection attempts for the Twisted Domain area based on the difficulty of the area. If you complete the Breach Domain area but die during the Xesht, We Who Are One boss fight, you will be resurrected at the boss arena entrance. If you die before completing the Breach Domain area, you will be resurrected at the beginning of the area. Repeated attempts of the area will result in you not receiving experience from monsters.
Added up to five resurrection attempts for the Olroth, Source of the Fall boss fight based on combat difficulty.
Added up to five resurrection attempts for the Core of Nothingness area based on the area difficulty. If you die before killing the King of the Mists, you will be resurrected in the boss arena and the fight will start over.
Revivals can only be triggered by the person who used the expedition log, the breakthrough stone, or an audience with the king, and all members of your group will be revived at the same time.
More checkpoints have been added to several map areas and the placement of some checkpoints has been improved.
Added the /ResetAtlas chat command, which can only be used to reset your Atlas if it is in a bricked state (no available maps).
Added minimap icons for Vaults.
Mini-map icons for league mechanics now stay visible no matter how far you move away from them, making it easier to return to them later.
Hitting inanimate objects such as ice crystals, storm bells, or climbing arrow plants can no longer cause your trigger abilities to generate energy.
Vines of the Vineshot type no longer take damage from being struck, and thus no longer trigger on being struck, and similar values.
Minions can now briefly squeeze through smaller gaps if they have not moved for a short time.
Channelled skills that have their cost change with attack/cast speed modifiers now explicitly state this.
Unused skill and character menus no longer display.
The Stun Threshold tooltip now includes more information about the stun mechanic.

Improved item navigation when using a controller.
Improved targeting behavior for ranged attacks when using a controller.
Improved targeting behavior for sacrifice skills when using a controller.
Additional changes have been made to reduce aggressive targeting of the Storm Bell while using a controller.
The change made in patch 0.1.1 that allowed items to be picked up and interaction with some objects while performing other actions has been reversed due to the problems it caused.
You can now change the name of your Path of Exile 2 characters or swap the names of two of your characters. You can access it on the website via the “My Account” page after the patch is deployed.
The following existing cosmetic microtransactions have been enabled for use in Path of Exile 2: Exile’s Pilfering Ring, Exile’s Pedometer Ring, Evertree Map Devices, Timekeeper’s Map Devices, Peddler’s Rain Hideout Decorations, Octoparasite Pets.
