Upcoming Plans for Patch 0.2.1

Updating the game every two weeks is total bullshit. Sometimes more than two.

If they were still major updates I would understand, but they are just basic things that don't change the various core problems the game has.

The market is total garbage. It's bizarre that they use such a dirty method, which helps RMT and punishes players.

Yeah. None of this makes me want to reinstall.

Where's the Auction House? Balance? Build diversity?

Instead of losing 100% of energy shield ending your run in Sekimas, you have 50% less energy shield, ending your run. They simply do not get it, at all.

when i saw changes to user experience i got realy excited because i thought you are going to finali ax that dogshit xp penalty thing , but nope leveling in endgame is still just as bad

Man I have started. A new char on HC and finished act1 with 0 Exalted orb drop that was cringed… chests, bosses, rares, no one surprised me. Ive seen a videos where people get few divines over campaign.
Exalts and chaos started to drop from act2

This is my luck :))

Pretty goated

A huge request has been that we invert the display of "Tier X" on items when using advanced item display. This is so that you can immediately identify if a modifier is the best it can be on an item. This is more for advanced and Endgame players, but is very important to being able to quickly assess the true power of an item or if it's an appropriate crafting base. We are swapping this back to work the same way as Path of Exile 1.

Does this imply the unidentified Tier 2 is going to be flipped to Unidentified Tier 5 on the rare unid tier drops?

If they had listened to players Day 1 and made the tier change it would have been nice. This is one of those things where the decision was made by people who didn't actually play the game.

Other than the affix tier swap inversion, these changes are largely just bandaids to problems they are ignoring. Almost all endgames mechanics need a complete remake. The mapping system is bad, not because we run hidden grotto over and over, but because we can't run what we want to run. Not to mention juicing stuck behind towers, which are inferior in every way to mechanics that already exist in other games(including their own PoE1). Just like all the other mechanics(breach/simu/etc) are all inferior versions of what exists in the first game.

And as someone else mentioned, none of these changes actually affect build diversity. Or fix the problem with trading.

But hey, I'm sure a moderator will define this as against ToS for being "needlessly negative" or some other random made up BS so they can edit the post.

Tier swap is great, some more good changes. Keep cooking. Also LOGIN!

Really guys keep up the good work! Thank u so much for good communication and have a ear for the community!

Please add 'invite hideout' button, we have to leave party for trade when the party is full, and this makes problems with people in party, and/or we loose party. Adding the 'invite hideout' button would solve this, like it is in poe1. Thank you.
