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

There's some annoying fps drops and lag every now and then, but other than that I've not had any issues getting on and playing. Trying out a huntress before I go poke at my Mercenary again.

ok, tried it. absolutly NO chance on act1 boss with minions after the shit nerffest. see ya maybe in 0.3

Anyone have an issue with the passive tree not comparing when adding points? holding shift no longer gives updated stats so can not go for pest pick... am i going mad??

Game is 20x as hard as it was during launch, and even that was hard before the nerfs to monsters. It's not supposed to be easy, but levelling isnt the game, its the pathway to endgame, endgame can be as hard as it wants to be, but act 1 is just dumb for 90% of builds.

I was just starting to get my blood mage to work with the hexblast, mid way act 2 cruel and now this is not remotely viable. I can't kill anything fast (i coudn't before but it worked), much less try to kill a boss. Btw, blood mage has nothing related to blood except losing life.
I don't understand this change. I haven't read the whole update, but if the arsonist+raging spirit build still works... Man, that thing about "characters being unique" is not true if people follow viable builds in order to not waste time like i did, which i bet is more than 50% of the community.
Also, if you need an alt to farm items for a class to work. Then the class is not well designed.

I'm gonna read everything and see if it works in some way or if i stop wasting time. It is a lot of great content tho, sad i can't try it yet.

i tried arsonist+srs, gave up act1 boss. no way :) take a look at the charts, they lost on leaguestart friday night 1/3 player in the first 8hours. well deserved :)

Thank you for this update, for months i kept wondering why i was still bothering playing but i loved POE1 so much that i keep giving you a chance but now with this 0.2 the 2 only builds that gave me a bit of fun got utterly nerfed, add to that multiple bugs, that it feel even more slow paced than before and i that went fron never dying to Pots help me! with a much more than neccesary bulkyness ( i wonder how newcomers will managed to farm with early bad gear ). Sincerely thank you now i give up this doesn't deserved any more time.

Not even level 10 and uninstalled.

Boring, snoozefest.

The game isn't hard, it's just boring now. A game can be hard AND fun, poe 2 definitely is NOT hard and NOT fun.

An ARPG is supposed to be filled with Action, where is the action?

I might as well cast a curse, set up a tent, sleep in the mountains for a weekend, wake up and wait for the curse to do something.

Sad state of affairs, this vision for the game just ain't it.

I'll be waiting for incoming patches, but honestly, I'm not holding my hopes up.

For now I've uninstalled and left a negative review on steam not recommending the game at all, I'll up date this once the game goes in the right direction for me personally.

To all the reddit bandwagon haters, this is my personal opinion.

EDIT: I also want to add, PoE 1 is so great because you can mix and match a lot of things and make it work, none of that exists in poe2. I hate it, the passive tree is bland and boring as well. Sigh

The monsters literally dont take ANY damage!
i feel like i shouldnt "struggle" on a mediocre t15 map as a lvl 98 infernalist (in "OP legacy gear" values a couple of mirrors and with 900 spirit,just to put it into a perspective)


i am disappointed by every aspect of this patch,and in a matter of fact the whole company and i regret supporting you in good faith.

hold onto the new stuff and change back everything else, if you want to keep the players imo and the sooner the better.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHA, so glad how it all turned out! didn't even bother to login, and yeah... as it turned out it was the right thing lolol.
