The players of Path of Exile have recently been quite frustrated with a bug while looting. However, the developers used the problem to prove how quickly they can solve it.
What was the bug? Recently, there have been increasing reports of a bug while looting in Path of Exile. Players hovered over an item with the mouse but were unable to pick it up. It seemed as if the item was simply not selected, even though the mouse was pointing at it.
However, this did not happen every time, but only occasionally, which made it somewhat difficult to describe at first. A player documented the issue and posted it on Reddit. The post gained the attention of many players who were able to confirm the problem themselves, but they didn’t have to wait long for a solution.

How did the developers react? While the post was gaining more and more attention and other players were describing the annoying problem, the developers were already working on finding a solution.
The bug fix didn’t take long, about three hours after the post was created, community manager Natalia_GGG responded on Reddit: “Hey, we just released a fix for that!”
This once again proves how quickly the developers tackle problems that annoy players. It is therefore hardly surprising that there were a dozen hotfixes on the release weekend of the new season Mirage that resolved similar issues.

How are the players reacting to the developers’ help? While players were extremely annoyed by the original bug, they are also very pleased with the quick fix. The comment from community manager Natalia_GGG received nice responses and praise for the quick problem resolution.
Overall, the mood and opinion about the season start is exceptionally good. The developers have fewer bugs and problems than usual, which the players appreciate. Currently, players are experiencing a successful season in Path of Exile.
With Path of Exile: Mirage, there were many changes again, but a new class like with the competition from Diablo 2 will not be introduced for now. The developers explained to us in conversation why that is: Head of Path of Exile can’t simply release Warlocks like in Diablo 2, focuses on a good alternative
