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

POE2 is a lot harder than POE1 and because of that, people started to call it crap.

just to remind you Chris was the one to hate one shot everything and he was really in favor of building a more complex game.

Good patch, well done

Still no performance updates. Performance is still bad for "recommended systems and better" iam using a better setup than "recommended systems" and still stutters, lags, fps drops and so on....and yes i tried many solutions to fix this. It is not my setup causing this bad performance.

Iam playing CP 2077 on high/raytracing/QHD with 80-120fps no matter what action is on the screen.

Focus more on better performance pls!

I second this, I finished CP 2077 couple weeks ago and it blew my mind how smooth and beautifully that game run. Meanwhile, I had to download a third party cpu lock software to even play PoE 2 because I was getting entire system freezes during some loading screens, which as far as I know, is still not fixed. Not mentioning the absolute slog performance during high action in the screen.

Funny you bring up that. because when CP 2077 was the same age as POE2, it was the worst performance game and most bugged game released on the last 10 years of the industry.

The base PS4 version of the game was an absolute joke, you are not wrong about it, it was my first purchase of the game but the sheer greatness of the immersion it had made me bulldozer throught it, no regrets. I just picked the full edition with Phantom Liberty for PC recently and, as I said, it blew me away, it was nothing as I remembered, clean performance, insane graphics, and a much better plot that made the base game even better, which was already a sold point for me. Had almost no issues with it aside your average bug here and there that pretty much every game have.

They turned it around, and I praise CDPR for that, they could just let it die in flames but they didn't, and I expect GGG to do the same... Eventually. That's why I said I'm skipping this patch, and not "F this I'll never play PoE 2 again".

The amount of grown men who are crybaby whiners in the communities of games like this is truly astonishing to me.

Yes, I am having fun quoting parts of this thread to a friend who is not a gamer. "Look, this is what grown up gamer dudes are like"

Extremely entertaining.

Ah yes, the Kathleen Kennedy/Rian Johnson approach to criticism. Of course we all now have the great knowledge that Disney Star Wars main movies are the best movies of all time. Criticism is obviously being a manchild.

You are asking me If I play the game and telling me that the minion are fine? I have around 1100 hours in the game and it's all on minion. And no the minion build is not fine after this patch, it got nerfed through the ground. Did you even read the patch notes on minions?

the minions are fine dude, i went through patch notes 3 times, you are gonna be fine, i will be playing minions on lich, it's gonna be fine, I project from lvl1 to t15 in about 20hs instead of 15, but thats it, it will be a bit more annoying in the beginning with fewer srs, but it is not apocaliptic by any means, chill and relax, it's gonna be ok

Well, the players should be the ones enjoying the game, right? And it should also be their feedback that shapes how the game is designed. I’d think the developer wants their game to have a large player base, or am I wrong?

These nerfs seem excessive. Maybe a few trolls are demanding nerfs on the forums, but this is a game without PvP. Why not just add higher-level monsters with better XP rewards instead of constantly nerfing every viable build?"

What do you mean? Quoting some people from forum and texting to friend and making laugh from this is peak of the humanity behavior.

The Sump Map boss has been renamed from "The Eater of Children" to "Brakka, the Withered Crone". She still eats children.

Criticizing is fine, tho in this case it shows an extreme level of misunderstanding of the game and how it works.

So basically useless and unplayable?

Concoction Skills now require an unarmed weapon set. They no longer deal your base unarmed damage, instead dealing only attack damage specified from the Skill, like Marks. They now consume 5 Mana Flask charges per use (previously 3).

"

Herald of Plague now requires a Martial Weapon, making it consistent with the weapon restrictions of the other Herald skills.

"

Poisonous Concoction now has 200% more Magnitude of Poison inflicted (previously 100%). Now deals base Physical Damage instead of Chaos Damage.

Why exactly are you changing what was a pretty balanced build?

Concoctions were not even close to balanced lmao. It was omega OP. They are clearly making the concoctions be what they were meant to be, which is utility, bonus damage (easy bleed application with low investment), and combo enablers.
