Content Update 0.2.0 -- Path of Exile 2: Dawn of the Hunt

"The on-kill effects of Herald skills can no longer trigger from kills caused by Herald skills."

Ugh... This was really fun to play...

Yeah probably OP with a lot of great gear but just "usable" with normal gear...

Nerfs are one thing.. fine... we'll manage..

but imcomplete patch nodes 36 hours before a launch?
No new sup gem data
No gem lvl progression numerical data
No skill tree change data
No unique item data

Good luck planning your first build!

To all the GGG behind lickers...

I wonder how the numbers will look this event, and if they send a message.

They already said in the interview with Ghazzy,

They arent releasing it, they want you to experiment with the new supports, same as not mentioning new uniques, only changes to old ones

This game is in Early Access... The youtube build copiers are out in full force on this forum

Time (and the charts) will tell. Everyone gets what they deserve! And don’t worry—no need to ban me, I won’t even bother downloading the update anyway.

If you can't even get through the campaign with minions (which basically destroy the game without input) then you wouldn't make it anyway.

And it was about time for a blind update, otherwise last week there would have been builds ready for all the characters.

Are those people that cry like babies adults or real kids? I can't tell. Why don't you act like grownups? Like, test the things first in game, write a report or forum post if you feel like something is wrong. If the devs decide they want to change it they will. If not, then move on and stop crying, it won't change a thing. If you really depend on 1 specific build in ARPG its really no ones fault but yours.

I was looking forward to this, until I read the full patch notes.

So they want to slow things down, okay. But what's the incentive to put 100's more hours in when your new build (which will arguably be much weaker), will most likely be nerfed, broken or just completely gutted next patch.

The majority of my current characters are largely unusable now. I like to experiment and try new builds, but I'd still consider myself a casual player despite the 1000's of hours I've put in across POE 1 & 2.

I do struggle coming up with builds that work on higher tier maps (I avoid build guides) so when I stumble on those that do actually work, even if they are meta (HOWA / POTG etc), it felt great.

I have a full time job. I just don't have the time to waste

1) If it's good, it WILL most likely get nerfed next patch. It's EA. Can't deal with that, don't play until actual release.

2) They had literally never done a balance patch. Builds were *wildly* outside of the acceptable power level. This was known. No one at all should have been surprised that they get absolutely nerfed into the ground. Called it months ago. No builds *should* exist which are of a commensurate power level to those which have existed and exist today.

3) They're getting a free refund. Figure it out. Or, better yet, play a new character on a class you haven't tried. Do something completely new. Come back to an old character when you have an idea you actually want to explore with them.

My build got nerfed to be literally half the damage and defenses that it previously had, and it wasn't even an optimal build. And I looked at the nerfs and said "fair enough, I expected it to get nerfed harder honestly". If people were so delusional they thought that the obvious power level issues were never going to get addressed, that's on them.

this is so awesome :) such work in so little time! fantastic job, I think I am rather excited for the end game maps u can get multiple tries .. that is what frustrated me the most about this game , it cost so much to make certain level waystones and now I can finally catch a break! keep of the great work, this game is awesome i stream it on twitch all the time

Hehehe... there is a HUGE buff hidden inside this patch, maybe something that was a troll build previously, will become the number 1 meta guild on 0.2... :D

Same! I would like for every skill in the game to take 1% of every monster's HP every 10 seconds! Such is The Vision™!

Non-meta builds (that are almost unaffected by patch) oneshotted t15 mobs. So donno what are u talking about.
