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

great changes !
but please remove reload speed from crossbows and add 6 portals like in poe 1 to all content

So I get most of the nerfs. But nerfing stuff that was already nerfed in 0.1, talking about grenades here, doesn't really make sense. Especially when GGG came out and said it was a wrong move back then.

Tldr: Bombs already dead, why are you now kicking around the corpse of a dead build

Only nerfs,nerfs, nerfs, and some bots and couple strange people who defend it... nice work GGG. I think i will play new char for 2-3 days and go back to Prephia league

Is Imploding Impact working as intended & advertised ?

I feared a nerf fiesta and now we got it. Weird prioritize from GGG and also it wasnt OP by any means only for the ones who put extreme amount of hours into it and guess what, then u deserve to be OP. Big L. They should have focused on frame drops for maps, end game content and crafting instead we got this...

Cue is a rat

rest in piece path of exile 2. 4.4. 2025

So funny all the crybabies about nerfs.
Saying they will play LE (they don't even follow the game, was also a lot of nerfs there) and D4 (please...)
A little bit of challenge is healthy for a game, i hope GGG continue to balance and nerf what is obviously OP.
Moreover they cannot comprehend how difficult is to fine tune a game like POE, it is also in EA, they have to nerf thing in anticipation of what will come or interact with new uniques.
Nerf everything to the ground if it can allow a bit of engaging gameplay and challenges.
Still would be good to reduce slightly the monster speed in end game to allow "combos"

It's honestly disappointing to see so much hate and negativity around patch 0.2.

Yes, there were nerfs. Yes, some items and skills were toned down. But anyone paying attention to the state of the game knew these changes were coming — and necessary. Power creep was already creeping in, and without regular balance passes, the whole system breaks down.

What's frustrating isn't the patch — it's the sheer volume of entitled comments acting like GGG committed some crime against humanity. We get it, your favorite build got touched. It happens. That's part of playing a game that actually evolves.

Instead of dragging the dev team through the mud, maybe take a second to appreciate how much time, work, and thought goes into these patches. Balancing complex systems isn’t easy, and they’re doing it while building a full sequel.

Props to the GGG team. Keep your heads up — a lot of us see the effort and appreciate it, even if the loudest voices on the forums don't.

Cant wait for 3.26. Gonna have so much fun!
