Path of Exile 2 continues to evolve, and soon the game will get some serious changes on its way with a new patch. The updates will affect gameplay, monster balance, the final stages of the game, and skill rework that should seriously improve the gaming experience. But what exactly have the developers prepared for their fans?

This is interesting because the updates are aimed at addressing key issues that caused inconvenience to players. The rework of the fast travel system, the reduction of the cost of skill point reallocation, and the improvement of balance in the late stages of the game promise to make the playthrough more comfortable. Most importantly, some skills and support gems, previously considered weak, will receive buffs.

How Path of Exile 2 is progressing after the Early Access release

Path of Exile 2 was released in Early Access just a week ago, but the Grinding Gear Games development team is already actively working on improving the gameplay. Some major complaints of players were in the field of uncomfortable playing, too high difficulty of passing at the late game stage, and skills balance. The new patch promises that many of these issues are covered, which makes Path of Exile 2 much friendlier for players.

What changes will the update bring?

In the upcoming patch, players will have access to the following changes:

• Gameplay: quick travel between checkpoints within a location will be added, and their number will be increased. This will significantly speed up the exploration of the world.
• Skill reallocation: reducing the cost of changing passive skills, especially at high levels, will allow players to experiment more freely with builds.
• Trial of the Sekhemas: reworked damage from "Honor" at close range (reduced by 35%) and fixed bugs that caused excessive damage.
• Endgame: reduced the number of elite monsters in Breach events, decreased critical hit damage from monsters and chaos damage, and disabled some annoying modifiers, such as Volatile Crystals.
• Skill balance: reworked skills related to shields, bows, and staves. Some skills (such as Tornado and Vine Arrow) were nerfed to eliminate their excessive effectiveness.
• Support gems: added new gems (Tremors and Bidding), and damage penalties on Exposure gems (Fire, Lightning, Cold) were removed.

This patch is a very important milestone in the development of Path of Exile 2, as it fixes bugs and makes the game more flexible for whatever playstyle one wants to use: experimenting with builds, exploring the world, or whatever. The improvement of gameplay and monster balance promises to attract more players to the late stages of the game, and the strengthening of weak skills opens up new build options.

Path of Exile 2 continues to strengthen its position in the ARPG market, showing that the developers attentively listen to their community. The new patch is a step towards creating a more comfortable and balanced gaming experience for everyone.
