Path of Exile has a brand-new expansion with Settlers of Kalguur, causing thousands of players to flock back to the game over the weekend to try out the new content, gear up new characters, and experiment with new builds. It’s a time for celebration for PoE players, but some opinions on the update are still up in the air courtesy of a new threat: tornadoes.
You see, as part of Settlers of Kalguur, you need to assist in the construciton of a town side-by-side with a number of recognizable characters. To do so, you’ll need to collect various new resources around Wraeclast, including Bismuth. Each resource has its own quirks, but Bismuth is deeply connected to elemental powers. This means that the process of harvesting it can result in a deadly reaction — namely tornadoes — which follow the player endlessly until they leave the map.
Movement is the name of the game in Path of Exile, but every now and again you’ll need to stop to loot or adjust your inventory. Or hell, just to have a stretch. But with these tornadoes they’re always chasing you down at significant speeds. They deal serious damage too! One mistep and you can find yourself dashed to the winds, so to speak. There’s also visibility concerns for some players, especially on maps where your surroundings are dark, making it hard to actually see these tornadoes coming.
