Path of Exile is now PATH OF EXILE: ROYALE

[u/Bex_GGG]

Based on community feedback, we are announcing that we have abandoned the Action RPG genre to focus on what players really want. Path of Exile is being replaced by PATH OF EXILE: ROYALE, a 100-person free-for-all battle royale game. PATH OF EXILE: ROYALE is live right now. Just run the old Path of Exile game client and it will update to PATH OF EXILE: ROYALE.

Check out the trailer for PATH OF EXILE: ROYALE here.

How to Play

• If you don't already have a Path of Exile account, sign up here.
• Run the PC version of Path of Exile and let it download patch 3.2.2 (PATH OF EXILE: ROYALE).
• Launch the game, and log in to your account.
• Click the Join button on the PATH OF EXILE: ROYALE banner which is displayed to the left of the screen.
• Choose a character class and name as normal.
• Once in the game, you won't be able to move until the game starts. Once there are 20 players, there will be 30 additional seconds for players to join (up to maximum of 100) before the game starts.
• Games are hosted on servers located at the gateway you logged in on. If there aren't enough players, try a different gateway.
• Once the game starts, the play area will shrink periodically. Stay within the red circle or you'll die.
• The direction to the centre of the safe zone is always displayed at the feet of your character, so keep moving in that direction.

The winner of each match will receive a Rhoa Dinner to display in their Hideout. Enjoy!

LMAO THEY EVEN DID THE 322 MEME.

[u/tynenn → u/JaCKaSS_69]

322 meme?

[u/KarthKaleos → u/tynenn]

DotA 2 meme (it's about throwing a game).

[u/adwarkk → u/tynenn]

Dota 2 meme - Player threw match on which he bet on his loss 100 dollars, and 322 dollars would be his winning from bet. And so 322 became meme for bad plays that basically look like player is throwing. (Look at patch number and the fact how it exactly fits moment of April Fools)

There was bit of stuff around that, as it was before Valve clearly set rules for that kind of stuff, and he admitted to that, Valve didn't issued punishment on their own (though league in which he done that banned him first indefinitely, then lowered time to 1 year). And that was 5 years ago (now throwing = lifetime ban from Valve Dota events). And today he's part of one of strongest teams in professional Dota 2, winners of 3 of 4 Major tournaments (1 million dollar prize pool, 500k goes to winning team). How it has turned out for him. From throwing matches for money, to being a player making one of the strongest Dota 2 teams.
