Content Update 0.4.0 — Path of Exile 2: The Last of the Druids

Do the optimization changes also apply to PoE 1? I believe it requires something similar, and in other areas where performance is significantly lacking.

Or rather, in terms of RAM, VRAM, shader usage, etc.

Remove maps remove endgame, 100 acts campaign, hell yeah!

You will have to spent a lot on it or craft insane amount of tablets and boringly collect and craft them in later stages of game.

Very small chance to cratf this mod on tablet with high value, you have bigger chance to get any inc gold that insta ruins this tablet. And even more bigger chance for other mods to not be good. Regular precursor tablets avaliable on breach tablets makes it even worse as most good stuff was there already, more bad ones added to RNG pool.

True shots fired here; additional depressing info
Yes, less agency via delirum.
Yes, more Gold tablets to brick your tablets.
Yes, more mods on breach tablets you don't like.
Yes, you spent more time on tablet management, sorting, deleting, buying...
The RNG pool is getting massively bloated here.

For now, it looks like GGG doesn't know if they want PoE2 to be more Souls-like or PoE1-like and you can feel it.

PoE 1 like doesn't even feel like PoE 1 like.

The game was immensely different when it released and for a couple years after it. That's why I think the vision changed over time, which is why I like PoE 2 more right now and if it became a copy of PoE 1 I'd probably quit that too.

At this rate, all Microtransactions from PoE 1 won't be fully added to PoE 2 till 2028.

This. THey push back all the endgame stuff another patch, and we get a couple of finisher effects added this patch as well? I have so many armor sets and things from supporter packs I still can't use. The 2024 core supporter packs only have a fraction of the items useable in PoE 2. Do I need to build up and expend three charges to be able to use my vaal serpent god armor set in PoE 2?

Im really strongly against the mob density nerf. The reason im playing arpgs is to kill huge packs of monsters.

I also fear that increasing mob health just leads to us kiting few bullet sponse mobs around the huge mostly empty maps. That's not what I think as fun gameplay.

The most fun I had with PoE2 was the original breach shitting out monsters and the start of abyss when the bug on abyss maps made them spawn in one place.

Looking forward to seeing the rest of this patch! Overall changes look pretty positive!

Seems a lot of people are confused and complaining about the rhoa, evasion builds need speed to stay alive, unless hybrid defensive specced or other wise, they would get clapped. Spirit cost is pretty high as well. There are tons of other movement abilities that cover ground.

I'm Curious how mob density will feel and interact with clearing. The only time you get overwhelmed is if the build or gear is weak.
I play HC and it seemed fine to me on fully juiced T16-17 maps. The danger is fun. xD

Shame we won't be getting the big end game changes yet, however the new league mechanic looks really amazing though. I expect to be hopefully spending a lot of time there. Huge build possibilities or profit to be made with some crazy corruption gambles.

If you go back and read the comments when 0.3 was announced we had same whiners, same haters from different games, even haters from poe1. And 0.3 was a great patch to the game.

Wait for all content to be revealed. We don`t know how the passive tree will look like, we don`t know what all support gems do, we don`t know all lineage supports, we don`t know all new skill gems, we don`t know all new items/uniques, we don`t know a lot of things.

I have 1 word for each poe game:

Poe1 = chaos
Poe2 = divine

Guess I'm going Titan Bear, it will be super solid. I expect it to be faster clear, faster movement due to building a longer rampage and super tanky.

It will be closer to new nodes as well for shapeshifting. Can't wait for this league, time needs to go faster!

From a changelog it seems to me a rOAh is gonna be a musthave for most of the builds, bc of the movement penalty nods\skills\runes nerf
