This was the worst update in the short history of Path of Exile II
|
Just to start, now I look at my atlas and all I see is a bland pasta with cream sauce.
This summarizes well what this update was. The Atlas lost all its flavor and you look at it and just see blanc or blue dots and nothing else. And then you enter the maps. And now we don't even know where the elites are because GGG removed the skulls that marked the elites. So if you want to clean the map (like most people leveling would), you still need to open the entire map, but now its worse because you need to search every corner to see if arent any elites missing. And the bosses, ohhh the bosses... Good luck to anyone in high levels (above 95) that now need to face every boss in game even if he doesn't want it. Risking his xp that at this point is really, really hard to get, just to complete the map. And now he has to level with a gun in his head ready to trigger at any moment with a bad luck in a boss fight. I will be honest, I hate everything in this update. You took a lot of quality of life accumulated with past updates and flushed down the toilet and even now I don't understand why.

People were loud that they want more bosses and towers removed, so they removed. Seems loud people are not the majority of players base...

" I dont mind either actually. There or not there. Doesnt make much difference to me. |

I also dislike this patch. I won't use hyperbolic language and call it the "worst", but it is definitely not the direction I wanted poe2 to go.
I have 11+ years and like $8k+ dollars in poe1. It's great. But either give us a new game, or give us the updated graphics on poe1. This inferior poe1 clone is not the way. |

towers removed is fantastic.
bosses on every map is fantastic. rare icons gone is a travesty and maps now feel like a huge chore. |

" Brother, to be honest, to this day I never even considered towers a problem. I can't imagine why would anyone have any problems with towers. Who are these people? Everything in this patch looks to me so unnecessary, and brother, I play this game a lot, i mean, A LOT. |

My mom issues are evasion need, rare icons removed, and the seeming removal of abyssal overrun maps when they removed the map icons (?)
I will be forging ahead into new territory today and hope the maps don't feel as bad as they did. Maybe it was bad luck but I probably will run no rare monsters and just stack quant and rarity and just try to kill bosses. Boss loot also seems worse as far as currency. Maybe better with tiered gear but that stuff is still mostly garbage especially at this point in the league when people are wanting very specific things. I wish they boosted exceptional rates with rarity but pretty sure it's the opposite. |

How about instead looking for a last rare hiding in the corner just open nezt map and run it normally?
When you're in acts are you searching for every rare in each area? why should it be different on maps? |

" i might need glasses. but i still saw towers after this patch. they are not gone. they are very much in the game. the function may be different. but they are still there. i dont remember people asking for more bosses. and if you did want more bosses, you could tablet them in... adding to the already previously spawned boss nodes randomly scattered everywhere. there very much were boss farming strats in poe2 previous to this patch. with tablets giving rarity to map bosses... wisps... stacking +mods on them... i actually was doing wisp/esse/boss +mod for about 6 towers before this patch hit... now? not so much. and what is left of that strat... is significantly reduced. so ya. iunno what loud people you are talking about. or what people were screaming for more bosses... at all. we did want towers gone tho... they gave us scarabs instead of sextants(towers) is that the right call... who knows. but its the reason of the poe 2 is just poe 1 crowd.... is getting LOUDER AND LOUDER ... cuz its true. abyss. - slightly reworked ... poe 1 towers (sextants) - poe 1 corruption nodes - scourge from poe 1 without the story.. even copied the same npcs. scarabs (new precursors) - poe 1 citadels - are just different pinnacle poe 1 bosses realistically. unique maps? - most of them are from poe 1. map device? - now exactly looks like poe 1's mapdevice and functions the same. act 4? is basically a reskinned town we ... already built. in POE 1. sekhamas - poe 1 chaos trial - some changes but. poe 1. and the next league.. will almost garenteed be something from poe1. either reworked, or straight up copied. (my guess, is blight, to somehow replace the abbyssal mod's power in crafting, because it pretty damn clear, they dont know what they want to do yet for crafting.) |

" How can people as stupid as u exist ? Who told you thats what people are complaining about ? People want the icons back and the endgame farm not nerfed u mongoloid caveman. No one is complaining about towers. Last edited by intersept#1235 on Oct 2, 2025, 10:00:56 AM
