Early Access Patch Notes - Content Update 0.2.0 -- Path of Exile 2: Dawn of the Hunt - Forum

The game hasn't technically released yet, so re-imagining everything is fair. I just wanted to say the obvious and share that it doesn't feel nice and fuzzy, reading about your favorite potentials, and seeing "now grants less" "no longer does" "doesn't provide" "reduced from" "can no longer" "has been reduced"	Posted by fren#4152 on Apr 3, 2025, 1:25:43 PM Quote this Post
" if grenades are really nerfed though, go ahead and ban me, Electro nerfed, some other buffed (a bit).	Posted by Azimuthus#1135 on Apr 3, 2025, 1:26:46 PM Quote this Post
Hey everyone! What do you think of this hypothesis: I m not saying this in a bad light, but I think GGG intentionally nerfed almost every skill, support skill and passives including even the bad ones(explosive grandes, flameblast,...) in order to avoid any potential broken builds in the future. This is like a precaution step they deliberately took against the community's future discoveries to avoid any more rebalanes or backlash. I nether agree nor disagree with them, because I don't have an idea about the best course. They said they want their game to be hard. We just have to wait, test and see the outcome of their visions. Let's keep high hopes until proven otherwise. Last edited by xBlueEAGLExHAKiM#9544 on Apr 3, 2025, 1:48:11 PM	Posted by xBlueEAGLExHAKiM#9544 on Apr 3, 2025, 1:26:46 PM Quote this Post

Its possible they had to nerf all this because of the new stuff that is coming to balance things better, to flatten the curve in cruel acts and end game, its also possible they f*ked up. Anyway i prefer they do such patches in EA to tune things to perfection than to be overconservative because their player base wants to play the same build all over again while again in EARLY ACCESS. Stagnation is the enemy of progression boys, if you are not ready, dont sign up for beta, early access or whatever you wanna call it. early acces does not mean "who wants to listen to the community lmao"	Posted by RedCorsair#2371 on Apr 3, 2025, 1:27:25 PM Quote this Post

The boss is invincible when changing phases, so what about the player's defense?	Posted by linyunzifeng#5165 on Apr 3, 2025, 1:31:51 PM Quote this Post

It's just weird to see nerfs in something like Arc, which didn't really even work at basic citadel bosses (and it was too slow for hordes of mobs coming out of breaches). Unless you went similar to the basic archmage/MoM spark build, in which case you would be better off just playing that anyway. Also if monster density and speed is not drastically lowered, I'm having hard time seeing how anyone can survive anything now, and that was already problem with all builds being glass cannon builds. Now everything will be more glass and less cannon. 20mil lol? who cares about these insignificant puny builds? there are INFINITE dps builds, doing BILLIONS of dps, with bugged interactions when the frost walls were treated as ENEMIES and MONSTERS and wall destruction was triggerign monster ON DEATH effects, and then wall explosions were buffing each other to infinity with just 1ex boots... killing pinnacle bosses in 1s. these nerfes are not strong enough to address some meta builds, like spark is still gonna be OP OK maybe I should've said 20bil, I know there are builds where the dps indicator wraps and shows negative values. Meanwhile vast majority of builds/skills struggle to even do 50-100k, and now their answer is to release 100 more gems to make sure that they can't ever make any sort of balance.

Besides playing a broken stat stacker, I really struggled with the difficulty in 0.10 not sure Im good enough to play poe2. Honestly I really regret buying an EA key. Hopefully the three streamers that GGG support have fun with the broken builds that GGG will leak to them and them alone. WTF happened to the game? This shit is stupid. Lets go Last Epoch!

I m sorry to say to the people complaining about the the people that are complaining about the nerfs(I m not complaining lol): that some people have invested a lot of time and(maybe even money) and they have treated the game as full release, probably because they haven't had much experience with EA games. So, if I may suggest that instead of replying to the people who are complaining with your own complaints, we rather encourage them to accept EA changes and explain to them in a good way, but not a mean way. If they insist, simply resist the urge to reply to them and ignore them, because arguing in a negative way only pushes them away and aggrivates the bleeding lol	Posted by xBlueEAGLExHAKiM#9544 on Apr 3, 2025, 1:42:41 PM Quote this Post
