PoE 3.22 Patch Notes: New Atlas Expansion & Content (Wishlists)
Although GGG revealed an approximate time for when POE 3.22 will be released, we still don’t know what content will be added to this new expansion. In ExileCon held at the end of July, we are expected to preview the 3.22 expansion, alongside the Path of Exile 2. But now we have some predictions and some wishlists from the community for the next league.
You may have noticed that we haven't had any new Atlas bosses added to the game in quite a while and that's because the release of Cadence of Atlas expansions did have a reliable pattern. But since the small Atlas passive tree that was introduced in 3.13 was replaced with a gigantic Atlas passive tree allowing players to pursue any type of content that they liked in the end game, four leagues went by again and Crucible League 3.21 didn't include an atlas expansion.
Why didn't patch 3.21 introduce a new Atlas expansion alongside the Crucible League? The odds almost definitely lie within Exilecon, you see it's very likely that GGG wanted to hold off on the atlas expansion so they could hype it up Exilecon, just like they did at the 2019 Exilecon with the conquerors of the atlas expansion. Therefore we'd say it's quite likely that the 3.22 league will come alongside a massive Atlas expansion which will add new Pinnacle bosses, and change or build on a lot of its end-game systems. That's what GGG's Forum post was alluding to when they said you'll be wanting to play 3.22 League, many thought this might mean that Path of Exile 2 or its beta was getting a secret launch in this League's law, but being realistic this was very wishful thinking.
What Can We Expect From The Atlas Expansion in PoE 3.22? GGG will find a way to make the Atlas passage tree even more impressive somehow and we may see another overhaul to the progression of the Atlas of Worlds, or just some new additions that build on what we already have.
But one thing that we may have a good idea about is the new Atlas bosses because the bosses always follow the theme of the core supporter packs, this was true for the 2020 call supporter packs which each followed their respective conqueror with the top tier pack - the Orient supporter being based around Cirrus the awakener of worlds. Then the 2021 call supporter packs that were introduced prior to the release of The Echoes of the Atlas expansion followed the theme of previous League content, but the top tier pack - the Atlas Supporter was heavily maven themed and these packs were released for purchase an entire month before patch 3.13 was launched. Then the last set of course a quarterbacks we had before the ones we have now, the 2022 core supporter packs which were released in December of 2021 were also based around those new Atlas bosses which would be added five weeks later in the siege of the atlas expansion. So it's very likely that the current supporter packs are a window into the future for the new Atlas bosses we may be fighting in 3.22 right after Exilecon. And any one of these or all of these packs could represent a new boss.
During a Q&A session following the live stream of Crucible content reveals, Chris Wilson and Ziggy D shared valuable insights about the process of ascendancy reworks. Initially, the focus was on addressing weaker ascendancies like Gladiator. During this process, the development team discovered interesting new stats but decided against releasing them exclusively for ruthless ascendancies, considering potential community backlash. Instead, a decision was made to overhaul all ascendancies in the core game, incorporating these new stats without nerfing them. However, due to the complexity of the changes, they were not ready for release in version 3.21. The plan is to include these changes in a future update, once they have been properly balanced and refined. This news brings hope to fans of weaker ascendancies such as Gladiator and Assassin. It is likely that these ascendancies, among others, will receive much-needed improvements in version 3.22. While stronger ascendancies may undergo some adjustments or reworks to balance their power level, the overall goal is to achieve a more balanced state for all ascendancies.
We really do believe that not only is patch 3.22 going to be a huge leak for Path of Exile, with it following Exilecon we are sure GGG will have plenty of surprises up their sleeves. But we also think it's going to introduce a massive Atlas expansion to the game as well and this is also likely to be the final Atlas expansion before Path of Exile 2, which could mean we'll be getting some hints as to the direction we're going in for the next chapter of the game. More news about the Path of Exile 3.22 League will be updated here timely, stay tuned!
