The system changes in Path of Exile tend to be well-considered and arrive in reasonable timeframes. As the game prepares for the upcoming Conquerors of the Atlas expansion, it’s probably no big surprise that the game’s World Atlas is being changed. Developers have outline the big picture changes coming on the official site, starting with an obvious and surprising change where the Atlas no longer starts at the corners but at the center, working your way outward over time.
Eight regions will be present on the Atlas following the change, with new endgame bosses per region as you fight through and take on maps within that region. There are also changes to the way that items and improvements are socketed by region, which should make the process simpler to understand and have clear effects across the board. It all might seem a little confusing at first glance, but you can check out the full rundown on the official site so that you can mentally prepare your path. (Of exile! Ha ha, we have fun.)If you somehow missed it, our own MJ was at the ExileCon where all of this content was announced; you can catch up on her whole rundown right here. It is expansive, as these updates tend to be.
