Here are a few new teasers for what you can expect to see in Content Update 0.2.0. Check them out below!

We'll be adding a Quality of Life feature that lets you lock your main hand, off-hand or both, so that you can use the same item(s) between weapon sets 1 and 2!



We've mentioned before that we're adding a plethora of new Support Gems to give skills that lacked them more options! Here are a couple new ones you can expect to see: Battershout and Perfection!









We're continuing to improve the visual and audio fidelity of Path of Exile 2. Here's a sneak peek of the visual upgrade to Essences!

If it isn’t a new class or more story? No thanks.

I already gave them 300 hours of beta testing in the first week or two, along with detailed write ups of issues on various spots they frequent for feedback.

I personally don’t see a bright future for this or OG PoE anymore with the departure of Chris Wilson.

I can only pray he has a non compete for a year or two then forms a new studio for a new ARPG franchise.

I hate being sour as PoE2 was one of my most anticipated and hyped projects for a long time but it missed the mark immensely.

There’s a good game here with another 2+ years of development… but if they had delayed it for another year to fix issues they already rooted out in PoE1 years ago then reintroduce them here? Yeah this team may be lost. 😞

Think I'll just go back to this when it's "finished"

I think it's a bit silly they are having community events and stuff for a game thats not even finished yet, it's almost as if they think the game is acceptable for release now
 
I find it really frustrating that I went from a fairly powerful character in the main game on my monk who is my main now to being destroyed in the endgame trying to get my first hideout. And I'm losing hours of levelling experience each time I die! I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or they just want to fuck me. The losing experience is the end of my paying though, that shouldn't happen.

I suspect they will build out more endgame and add classes, and any more story content will be saved for the full release.

I got 150 hours out of PoE2 in a very short timespan and it was wildly fun, pretty sure it fucked up my dopamine circuits too lol.

However, I stopped at endgame as it felt tacked on, a lot of busy work, and ultimately not that rewarding. Progress was either a choice of grinding for many 10s or hours or just buying things in trade. So either painful unrewarding grind or trivializing progression altogether. No middle ground.

Looking back Last Epoch is the better ARPG overall, but PoE2 is more fun to play from an action point of view. Glad we have both getting updates soon, especially Last Epoch with a massive endgame overhaul and adding WASD.
