Early Access Feedback - Take Path of Exile 2 out of early access, release the game - Forum

" madnhate#4313 wrote: Grinding Gear Games you can take Path of Exile 2 out of early access. It is time to just release this game. I forgot where I saw it, but your goal was 6 months in early access and then hopefully not more than a year. It has been a year. You can release this game now. When I first played Path of Exile 1, there might have only been 2 or at most 3 acts. It is okay to release this game without all the acts. Endgame will need work, but you will not be able to fix it right away. Keep working on it and making it better. Add fun content, etc. I would like all the classes in game since the ones I am looking forward to are all the unreleased ones. If you can have all the classes that is great, but at the rate it is going for each class which I thought was finished or close to from the trailer 3 years ago it might take another 3 years. The final point that you have made is that you want the game to be in a state where players are happy. Hate to break it to you, but that will never happen. Not everyone is going to like the game or the state of the game. Everyone is different. There are people who like a challenge. Some people who would rather one shot everything. Some people who love to get the best gear. Some people who just want to focus on endgame. Some people who like to play different classes or some that stick to one. Etc. You cannot make everyone happy because people play the game for different reasons. Just release the game. This way you can get feedback from everyone. Grinding Gear has a reputation to protect after Path of Exile, so they probably don’t want Path of Exile 2 to launch half-baked and damage long-term trust.

You could say minimal, or more likely that you are too busy copying a you tuber sad day trading method you are far less concerned with the thousands of things in the game that currently do not function or as if a haywire grenade went off inside of it. Saying 0 just is an obvious lie.	Posted by LordKillius#0678 on Feb 27, 2026, 4:50:31 PM Quote this Post
It's not done. Still missing a ton of weapons and stuff.	Posted by ZeroObstacles#0245 on Feb 27, 2026, 6:37:04 PM Quote this Post
" ZeroObstacles#0245 wrote: It's not done. Still missing a ton of weapons and stuff. yeah; 1/3 of the weapons are missing (Daggers, swords, axes, flails), leaving a good portion of the skill tree meaningless. Adding onto that, only a couple of the classes seem "finished", as we don't even have 3 ascendencies for several. Still needs a good bit of cooking.

Let them cook. I love this game but it clearly not in a good state right now. I wish they add more truly new stuff instead of trying to port a decade of outdated design decisions from poe1 with a couple new twists.

Why do you want the game to leave early access? Just to be F2P? Because there's no benefit in leaving EA right now The game is not at a stable state at the moment, just look at how many crashes were introduced with 0.4, even this late in the league they're releasing new patches to address that Also, classes and skills are the foundation of the game, having an endgame full of activities won't matter if classes are unbalanced or not fun to play with, and you do that by releasing them and getting feedback in return It just doesn't make sense to leave early access at this point	Posted by Vyend#2601 on Feb 28, 2026, 12:14:11 AM Quote this Post

Saying that you don't have any problems in particular doesn't change anything, if you read patch notes regularly you'll notice how many crashes were introduced in 0.4, just 2 days ago they fixed yet another crash. The game isn't in a very stable state and that's a fact, period. Last edited by Vyend#2601 on Feb 28, 2026, 12:23:30 AM	Posted by Vyend#2601 on Feb 28, 2026, 12:23:20 AM Quote this Post
