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

Congratulations, GGG!
You're making the same mistakes as Blizz and will lose a lot of players.
RIP Spark Mage
Too Bad

Great job! I had a great time reading this patch. Don't be scared to nerf/change things even more. People who only complain - are the loudest.

Take note GGG -= over 90% of people hate these changes - so go and ensure these nerfs are not implemenmted - WE DO NOT WANT THEM!

you are the very vocal minority. Nerfs are needed. Power creep is awful and ruins the game longterm. Go play D4 if you want unfettered godlike power. Played the most broken builds in the game, and in turn, got bored and uninterested very quickly. GGG realized their intended vision of making combat more meaningful was blown past in mere days into the game. This patch is probably what GGG wanted from the start. 90% don't hate these changes, not even close.

I am not in the minority most people think this patch is garbage - I have gone over all the posts and have had it confirmed most people think the nerfs are too much

please let us have a stash tab for runes!!

at this point, they could also just have removed Hexblast from the game, would have been same effect more or less

BIG changes, and by BIG i mean AWESOME and i cant wait to try the Huntress
Good job!

I am in the faction that PoE2 should be a slow and not overpowered game like PoE1 but I do not get why a lot of unplayable Skills (like basically all fire skills for example) have not been buffed but also rather been nerfed.

Nerfs are ok but maybe just not "let's nerf everything just to nerf".

this is Path of Cooked 2. xD

Love the patch notes GGG. Big fan of the toning down of one button builds. Love the direction for hexblast too, being a hexblast gamer in first league. It was a boring spell, now it could actually be something fun. Excited about Lich and how it would complement ED Contagion maybe.


To anyone who doesn't approve of the nerfs, POE1 is already a one click game. I, at the very least, signed up for a slower paced game where I cast meaningful stuff. I didn't really enjoy 0.1.0 even though I reached endgame with multiple characters cus I had to gravitate towards 1 click stuff instead of meaningful spell rotations. I yearn for meaningful build choice and fun gameplay.
