Path of Exile 3.29 just shattered a fundamental rule, and I'm not talking about its new underwater combat

Path of Exile 3.29, Curse of the Allflame, introduces significant changes including the removal of socket color restrictions, a new underwater league mechanic, and the permanent addition of Mercenaries. Game Director Mark Roberts announced the removal of socket colors, a fundamental rule since the game's inception, aiming to improve build experimentation and gear upgrades. The new league features underwater exploration with air pockets, a Voyage system for crafting expeditions, and a new crafting currency called Ducats. The update also includes reworks for Abyss and Legion mechanics, and the introduction of Atlas Anomalies.
