Path of Exile 2: Upcoming Changes and Improvements

First patch: nerf cast on freezing.
2nd patch: nerf freezing.
3rd patch will completelly remove freezing from the game I assume?

Come on guys, freezing is fun. It's finally a reliable defense-offense mechanism after being useless aside from just another source of damage in PoE 1.
First post on here,

loving the game but there is so much that detract me from the gaming aspect of this game

- Ascendancies are a huge fucking joke more than half the characters and builds cant do them effectively even when you are over leveled due to a bunch of other things. i.e on death effects, effects you cant see, bosses with crazy one shots with no build up, defences gatekeeped out of acts.

- Gem level costs, i mean leveling a gem is supposed to feel good but you receive more negatives than posistives, i.e. more cost more requirments for no noticable damage or utility

- The heavy scaling on gear means that if rng isnt with you, you are left limping through acts praying for a weapon since you cant craft one without rolling that lootbox rng again

I could go one and many have, after watching alot of pre-pre-release videos im left confused to if GGG actually played there game.

Rant over, love this game and want to play this till my little fingers drop off.

looking forward to more than nerfs and minor tweaks since there is need to overhaul existing systems not just adjustments to there values

Please look into loot filters for Cloud Gaming Services.
Native Loot filtering would enable me to play endgame, right now the client lags out on juiced endgame maps due to the sheer volume of loot displayed.
Vacation from Dec 16th past Jan 3rd... Sure you didn't just take that ea money and run?

Close combat is quite pitiful in POE 1, and obviously equally pitiful in POE 2. Weak, if designers don't like melee, why not delete this profession? That's really pitiful


People like you are bad for the community. Please leave as you provide no benefit, only a pretentious kid. Annoying af

Can't I express my own experience and feelings? So, what is the purpose of letting me experience it???

thx !
I can't understand the flamers at all.

Rarity, great!
Dificulty, especially great designed (I play my own Monk build).
Ascendency, super challenging (I failed a lot of times), great.

You just need to learn this new game with all it's new mechanics and gameplay.

It's such an absolutely amazing and well balanced game already.
I am level 93 (close to 94) and did not get carried on a single challenge.
I made my own item filter based on the standard neversink lite filter.

You need to do better, not blame the game for you being not good / rich / sophisticated enough.

For all the obstacles/hurdles/punishments this game has, there a totally viable solutions (hidden, you need to find out) to deal with them and overcome that roadblock. The feeling when you find out how to figure this and that challenging situation is super great.

You have to earn and grind your gear. Its GRINDING GEAR GAMES. You dont get it for free.
hey guys,i found a conflict between blasphemy and cast on shock,is this a bug?
Some reviews I have now that I have properly played it for a while:

1 Item rarity problem is Huge. I had to change my whole itemization with almost zero item rarity to add some cos I had 0 divines dropped since I started. Feel so mandatory.

2 I have 2 screens running. One with discord or trade and one with the game.
Sometimes the game minimizes for no reason. I still havent be abble to find out why this is happening.

3 Market prizes are way too high already. I had the issue that I had to stop playing for a week since my job demanded me some extra hours in xmax. When I got back to the game, all worth at lest 1 divine and exalted orbs worth pretty much nothing.
Since I had 0 item rarity in my itemization, is being really hard to find cheap items with decent stats + item rarity. MArket is almost unafordable for people in my situation.

Having 0 ways to obtain elemental resistances in the skilltree is really weird to me. I used to get some resist there always to leave some space for more interesting mods in the items. However, right now, there are not much affixes to pick from.
Most of my items are life-mana-resistances- item rarity. Then there are a few with spirit, some regeneration, and some minion stuff since Im a witch. But pretty much thats all.

Most of the interesting stuff is in corruption right now. I miss betrayal, alva modifiers, etc...

I dnt like the crafting system at all.
Only thing u can do is play chaos spam, or go back to the begining making it a blank item. There´s no crafting bench at all or any metacrafting...
I miss old alterations a lot. At lest I were abble to set 2 tier 1 before making it a rare item and even looking for the third one with regal + scouring were not expensive and it were very usefull.
Chaos spam were an option... But I always prefered exalted-annul for the same result.

Maybe bring back annul orbs would b a good idea since the exalted is that cheap right now.

There is 2 much investing needed to do maps.
I spend more exalteds making maps with 6 affixes than for actually crafting, and most of the time is not even worthy to do so...
Alchemy orbs are not that common, wich is a huge mistake and when u disenchant u get regals instead of alchemy...

u forcing us to spend an alteration, a transmutation, a regal and 3 exalted per map wich is a nonsense.
In poe 1 I were using 1 alch and maybe 1 chaos if I didnt like the affixes normally and some chisels if I wanted to juice them.

I see the IU is much clearer now. However there are still things to improve there.

Going to gems...
Some interactions are a bit weird still and sometimes Im still not sure if them being aplyed or not.
Minion displays are a mess. Specially SRS. I dnt know what damage them do and also I dnt know what stats or effects the little scorpions raised from unerath get.
Yesterday I were triying to do contagion with the support that make chaos damage apply freeze buildup. Im not really sure if it were working since I didnt freeze anyone at any point and my arsonists+srs+dog were burning everything around me. So who knows..

Also what arsonist throw are granades? Them doesent seem to be spells at all so I guess cast speed for minions doesent apply there. Am I right?

Also, I dnt like much what basic stats do. U only really need them to stack some life or mana, obviusly then str>intel>dext for obvious reasons.
I think all of them should provide a second stat like them did in POE 1 to balance it.

Theres 2 many stuff in the skilltree and not enough points to get them. In POE1 u had some problems cos some nodes were 2 far. Thats why clusters and things like unnatural instinct or thread of hope were so popular and almost mandatory.
In this one. everything is close, but u have to take many parts of it.
Example as a mana stacker since I use it as life, I have to take the increased regen, all the mana in %, some increased regeneration rate...
There are a lot of parts of the same thing + I miss the one u can choose from a list once u get the one in the center as it were in POE1.

I bring this too cos I find annoyments now not that interesting since the only real meanning is to get a single notable that is not that far. So the only real tough about it is how many points would this annoinment save me.

Is not like I would get proyectiles come back to me with my molten strike... Wich is by far much more exciting.
