There will be other changes big and small the Path of Exile faithful will be able to pick out of patch notes when The Fall of Oriath launches later this year, but in the leadup they'll still have plenty to play. Grinding Gear plans to launch a "Legacy" league in the coming months, while The Fall of Oriath is in beta, which will bring back every challenge league—and their unique items and mechanics—for a last hurrah. Players will have a last shot at rare items they missed a year or two ago while they wait for a crack at Act 5's new bosses POE currency trade .

I haven't spent much time in the world of Path of Exile, but if there are half a dozen bosses just in this new expansion even harder and more complex than Avarius, I'd say it's going to be a good year for action-RPG fans.

ARPGs have just become so much better since 2000.
