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

Love the nerfs,keeping things fresh and nuking braindead oneshot clear map builds. PoE2 is not PoE1 and that is evident with this patch. Plus is EA, this is the time to experiment with anything. Want to nuke everything, play PoE1 or D4. happy this game is turning out different.
I really like a lot of the added content and changes they made, but holy nerf... Everything got crushed into oblivion from what I can tell. Not just a little but every lever they could pull.

I guess we'll see how it plays out.
Nerf skills, which played by 1-2% players. Why? Can someone explain?nerf meta skills means that we should pay attention to others. But theyre nerfed too. Wtf???
"
Patch notes looks grim. We will see the actual station at launch. But in my humble opinion their "vision" for the game doesn't match what the players want from them. Maybe creating the expectation of a faster game by letting these builds go wild so long was partly GGG's fault? What now if people come up new fast builds? Will you let them play again or nerf mid league now. But then again if people really in search of faster builds always, doesn't it make you think they want to play fast?

There is a lot more to talk about beside balance changes, which in my opinion GGG should have been focused on more, like endgame maps being huge half empty, maze wannabe, no-fun content. If they were to start with fixing them, I believe these kind of nerf would have less impact.

I understand people have different definitions of fun when it comes to playing games. But I don't get why they are attacking each other in here.(and honestly why GGG allowing such behaviors in forum beyond me)


The 0.1 meta was total dogshit lmao I am glad that they nuked everything.
So, armor still sucks and didn't get buff, but more weaknesses, even it 10 times worse than phys converting. Melee still much worse than others, so slow and uncomfortable af. Energy shield users still op and much tankier than life builds. Good job, ggg. I'm not surprised for your good analytics of balance in the game. Nerfing weak and uncomfortable grenades is justified instead of many other meta really strong skills..........🌰🌰🌰🔪😂

With all the "meta" builds getting a massive change, I wonder how the support gems will kick in and function to help in existing builds or make new broken builds.

I'm going to assume the nerfs come to either use more of the new uniques and support gems.

We'll see ^_^.
Very good changes. There was too many boring braindead OP builds, we need to slow endgame, it is not POE1

People that were full clearing with giga items were expecting those builds to not get nerfed? They have said before EA even came out they are trying to slow down gameplay so what did you expect.
