Dawn of the Hunt, Previous and Upcoming Changes!
🕑 Added 2025-03-31 14:00:14 +0000 UTCI have not posted much over the past month, but that does not mean that work (ever) stops. We've done several improvement to FilterBlade, the base filter generation, economy parsing and a ton of performance and bug fixes. Let me present you with some of the highlights.
Dawn of the hunt!
First of all, I'm pretty excited to play 'Dawn of the Hunt'. Javazon in D2 was always a favorite (even if my heart belongs to the frozen orb sorc) and I'm really looking forward to giving it a try.
Of course it'll be accompanied with a full filter + filterblade update.
The filter will be receiving a big bunch of general improvements and will be benefitting from all the improvements you can read below:
The big thing we're working on now - PoE2 Pre-Customizer
NOTE: this feature will NOT make it for the Dawn of the Hunt release, it's still deep in development and Dawn of the Hunt changes too many things.
In the future, you'll be able to pre-customize your filter to your class on FilterBlade.
You'll be able to select:
Your character class
Weapons used, armors used (with options for different decisions during the campaign)
Treatment of other basetypes - do you want to see them? do you only want to see the best bases? do you want to ignore them completely?
SSF/Economy modes - should the tiering of OTHER basetypes be based on the meta or neutral tier distribution?
FilterBlade will then pre-adjust the filter to your preferences. You'll still be able to change all the settings yourself of course.
We hope to release this feature in April-May.
What was added over the past month
Custom sounds and styles on FilterBlade can now be combined!
The PoE2 economy data is VERY noisy and naively parsing and jamming it into the filter causes a lot of terrible tiering decisions. We've built a system that helps with managing this challenge. I'll explain it with an example: Let's say the economy data falsly claims that the Lesser Jeweler's Orb should go into the S-tier (that would be terrible). The system will instead put it into the highest allowed tier for THIS item (e.g. C-tier) and I get a notification to check if this is a fluke or a real change.
We can now support multiple leagues or events running at the same time. We've built this feature for Phrecia, but it will certainly come in handy a lot in the future
The profile search on FilterBlade finally works really well with the Account#1234 numbers..
We added a whole bunch of PoE2 item icons.
Multiple filter updates for PoE2 and PoE1, mostly concerning economy finetuning
We optimized our FilterBlade technical setup significantly, improving load times, fixing a lot of browser specific issues
A couple of dozen of other smaller improvements and changes
Other features coming in 2025
These features are not guaranteed to all make it. We may shift our priorities or even abandon some of these features depending on how the game and your needs evolve:
More PoE2 integrations: more icons, economy data, bonus data (item descriptions, sources...) and mod data.
More PoE2 styles!
A better style screen
A tiering&economy screen
Custom strictnesses
General UI improvements
