Content Update 0.5.0 — Path of Exile 2: Return of the Ancients

Guys really chillout, I guess there is some rune which says "this item can have up to 3 crafted mods" and boom, you can essence craft again

Good grief why do so many people complain everytime patch notes release? I like things are always changing, forces me to try new builds.

Epic stufffff

cry babies.... :D

I didn't see in the original patch note and the updates the fix for electrocution arrow not hitting a lot of monsters, especially in act 2 but also elsewhere I don't remember.
Sadge :(

we got people calling essence crafting -mirror tier- and -super endgame-

bro essence crafting is basically for day 1.
you wont see any mirror items with more than 1 essence mod or if any essence mods at all

almost every mirror tier item is made by frac+chaos spam+ desecrate mod for block+2 whittle spams+ delete and desecrate again for the final mod
which cost around 6-7 mirrors if you go for perf base plus hinekora for 30 quality.

This nerfed people who couldnt afford gear but used their knoweledge for crafting to get a -decent- item(not to mention essence crafting also costs a few divs which is a good amount on day 1).

As a fubgooner? idc honestly. ill farm my mirror and copy my community bow craft while average andy who can play 2 hours a day sits on the corner with his 3 mod item

oh and i will also make sure to keep my currency in craft omens(whittles,erasures etc) and cause them to inflate in price. which will make them inaccesible for the average player

good patch overall love it.

Gj GGG, I actually like more randomness in the game, it will be better for the game in long term.

We're relying on essence crafting because the tier system for drops is atrocious. Tier 5 means nothing, they're identical to un-tiered items in practice.

Players would like to be able to find workable items on the ground in late game, but we need to weed through hundreds, thousands of drops to find a single desirable affix.

Can we please have a better ground loot tiering system before crafting is gutted?

bleeding changes, road warrior?

Bring back old rapid shot!
