Major Endgame Changes in Patch 0.3.1 for Path of Exile 2

Ok again as every time some fancy “big” changes. But at the end of the day what really matters is optimalization and bug fixes. So Im very curious about this…
Pls let us review the map layout when we point the mouse over a map node !
Thats huge! Thank you so much for the early upgrade as well as listening to the community. You are amazing. It seems like precursor stash or adding precursor tablets to the map stash becomes relevant now :).
Good step, hopefully endless atlas will be gone in 0.4.

I am a bit sceptical over these changes. For me, Towers always were a great improvement PoE2 did for the Atlas since they serve a duo purpose of setting a goal to get to, and also allow for sweeping deterministic changes for surrounding nodes.


I feel a lot of strategic element of PoE2 Atlas is going to be lost thanks to tablet/Tower changes.
Like, this looks very much like a change to please veterans used to PoE1 map blasting hence the added values for tablet effects, rather than streamlining the reward and progression in Atlas overall.

Also, if respawning after dying to a boss still wipes both mobs and activities from the map, this is going to just lead to even more cases of map bricking than before.


Tldr: this is going to negatively affect the players at the start and middle of their Atlas progression, and significantly boost endgame players with massive amounts of resources already.


The majority's opinion is what actually matters to make a game good, not the minority like you
Stop turning the game into the slog called Path of Exile 1

Modifiers that cause the area to be covered in Chilled/Shocking/Ignited Ground now cause much less ground to be covered. At least 66% of the ground effects currently covering the ground will be removed, this value is higher on lower tier Waystones.


Just remove these completely they brick maps

You are quite right, the whining that will be coming shortly after the patch will be more fun than playing the game.

improve the drop rate of the good items!!!!!!!! you introduce all these other perfected orbs etc and we never get them! cause your item pool is so damn big, 1 perfect exalt in 100 hrs?! wtf u guys running here man, we have families jobs etc etc like dude I hate getting the same shit on juiced maps, I got like 4 of the same low ball lineage supports or whatever in a row on the same map! figure the drop rates out, over 800 hrs and literally I have had to buy for all the good stuff to make a build. not fun, let us play our own game without being meta chasers!

Stop running maps with 0% rarity on your gear.



I have 159% rarity. Still dropping dogshit. What's your point? The quantity of bad items is absurd. Just turn your loot filter off. Wtf is all that nonsense.


Literally all you need this patch is a white base and currency. If you can't find those with 159% rarity, you are doing something wrong.

I had better gear in SSF 50 hours into this league than I did 500 into the last one.
Before the change, I could run under 3–4 towers on maps that had at least 2+ portals.
Now you are FORCING us to play on maps with 0 portals.
This is still a nerf because of this stupid system, remove 0 portals and the game will become playable.
