As the video andexpansion pageexplain, players will buy their way into the Rogue Harbour, a heisthub where you’ll set about recruiting NPCs, doing jobs, and training up your crew and acquiring info to ultimately pull a Grand Heist. Crew members have classic heist skills like lockpicking, dancing through lasers, and brute strength that can all help in a job. You want to keep the heat low for as long as possible, because you’ll earn nothing if you don’t make it back out with your haul. Heists are not something I’d expect in an action-RPG but it sounds great fun.
We hada wee chatwith lead designer Chris Wilson when Grinding Gear announced the expansion earlier this month.
Servers will go down for patching to begin at 6pm tonight (seethis postfor your local time), then should come back online with the update live at 9pm. Unfortunately, the Mac version planned so you can bring your click-click-clicking to coffee shops has been held up.
“Our intention was to release an experimental copy of the macOSPath of Exileclient around a week ago, so that community members could test it before its official release tomorrow alongside Heist,” Grinding Gearexplain. “A series of last-minute unexpected technical problems meant that we only had this client distributable today. Our new plan is to release this experimental client immediately for feedback from adventurous macOS users, and to officially release on Mac in around a week.”
If you’re feeling bold, you candownload the experimental Mac version now, which will also be updated with Heist today. Just be aware of Grinding Gear’s warning that it “may be buggy and still has a few things we want to fix”.
Path Of Exile is availableon Steamandthrough its own client. We’ve called it one ofthe best RPGs on PC.
