April Fools: Programming typo fills Path of Exile with cats

Event Details

  • Typos include the devil, I tells ya! They can make any news post on the site such as this one look downright ridiculous. But what's worse compared to a typo plaguing a run-of-the-mill article, tweet, or Chatty post? How about a typo within a line of programming? That's the worst, since the poor folks at Grinding Gear Games are discovering out.

    Yes, sadly, Path of Exile currently includes a major problem featuring its Trigger Gems. Some careless programmer was rushing through a number of the changes to the game's upcoming expansion, meaning they slammed the 'T' key prior to a 'S' key. A couple of hundred copy-pastas later and "cast" continues to be replaced with "cats" in general. As one might imagine, it is led to some major im-purr-fections.

    Any condition that needs casting spells is currently summoning cats into your game. Trigger Gem conditions involving "cast upon death" is currently resulting in "cats upon death." Any Trigger Gem that activates when taking damage is currently summoning cats. The issue is everywhere, as indicated in this forum post from your overwhelmed developers.

    Path of Exile players is going to be relieved to find out that a fix is imminent and likely to be released towards the end of https://www.mmoah.com/path-of-exile
