PoE 2 servers are restarting now. They should be back up in approximately .
Less monster density? Why?

I don't understand the change to lower mob density. Are people with old PCs having performance issues? If so, let them lower their graphic settings.
This is an ARPG. Blowing up screens of enemies is the entire point. I'm willing to wager that high density has been a big part of PoE 1's success for 10 years and now suddenly we're going to cut the mob density in half? Bewildering.

They claim people were begging for this change. I have never seen a request made for this.
I think they want to just hamstring speed in this game and will go to extreme lengths to do so. |

PoE2 gathered a new crowd of tourists and non-PoE players.
Now they demand that the game must play exactly like their Elden Ring Dark Souls or else. Also Johnathan hates PoE1 and probably played 2 hours of Dark Souls and loved it and wants to replicate it in PoE2. Soon we will have another 80% less monster pack size and 80% increased monster life, so the tourist can have "meaningful combat" comboing, rolldodging and parrying a single white mob so epicly.

Honestly I wouldn't mind if we had to fight a bit more, less monster but also stronger\more loot per monster so the drop stay pretty much the same as it was.
I'm fine with the reverse too. I just think that either can be fun. Not having to zoom around as much and MAYBE having to actually use more than one skill to kill a rare and not consider it as another white trash mob and seeing it drop something decent more often instead of again... feeling like it another white trash mob worth of loot 97% of the time. |

" PoE2 is a game made by a "Dark Souls Tourist" for "Path of Exile Tourist" crowd. It's hiliarious. Last edited by nagisanzeninzz#2697 on Dec 8, 2025, 11:52:42 PM

Does he still call PoE2 a soulslike despite all the evidence pointing another way, and all the ridicule that resulted from that statement in the other thread? If you told me, I wouldn't believe it, but here we are lol.
Most of the packsize came from %map mod effect which only would impact endgame mapping anyway because you start stacking that on endgame atlas trees. You can still get 70%+ packsize on your T17s and there are literal tons of scarabs adding extra packs and/or packsize on top of that. I've been running lots and lots of T17s this league and not a single time I felt like I didn't have enough juice. The opposite of knowledge is not illiteracy, but the illusion of knowledge.

We'll see how it plays out. I don't mind the change as density doesn't affect number of rare monsters.
