Path of Exile Patch 3.20.2 – Offline Party Member Support, Voidborn Reliquary Submissions

Patch 3.20.2 has been implemented on the Live Servers for PC and Consoles. This Patch introduces the previously announced Offline Party Member Support, new Voidborn reliquary submissions and several Hotfixes.

Improvements and updates

• Added support for party members to go offline while staying in the party. When you log out, you can now stay in your party, though you can still be kicked from the party while offline. After you’ve been offline for 2 minutes, you will be automatically kicked from the party.
• Added “Kick from Party” back to the options available when right-clicking another player’s message in chat.
• Added 845 more foiled Unique Item options that the Voidborn Reliquary can yield.
• Added an area description for the “twice blessed” Darkshrine outcome.
• The “Sacrifice a Corrupted Map. Create a new Corrupted Map of the same tier and rarity.” Harvest crafting option now requires a Rare Corrupted Map to be sacrificed, and is no longer able to incorrectly create a new Corrupted Map of a higher tier.
• Some Sanctum monsters can now be Spectred, and Spectred versions of Stalking Geist will now be able to attack enemies. Lowered the resistances and maximum attack distance of the Spectred version of Igneous Gargoyle.
• It is now possible to view your Voidborn Reliquary submission on the website, and withdraw it for modification if it has not yet been confirmed.
• Updated the description of the Corrupted Gaze Atlas Notable Passive to clarify that it only applies to Abyss Jewels dropped by Abyssal Troves in your Maps.
• Updated descriptions for skills which grant critical strike chance through a buff, such as Precision and Aspect of the Cat.
• Updated the description on Galvanic Field when supported by Increased Critical Strike Chance to be more clear.
• Updated the targeting behaviour for Whirling Blades in Controller Input mode to target monsters rather than location.
• The Solar Map Device microtransaction now has variations that can be scrolled through to set the maximum tier of effects to play while map portals are open.

Bug fixes

• Updated various Heist Enchantment descriptions to clarify they apply to Explicit modifiers.
• The Ambushes monster modifier can no longer be found on Magic Monsters, as it had no effect on them.
