Current State of Path of Exile 2 - Full Review of 0.5 Return of the Ancients

lol damn, completed the game and I just got out of Act 1.

clearly you still haven't returned to ange, even at lvl 92. hardest quest in the game.

What the hell man I'm like level 18 in act 2 xD

The boss quest line introduction in the maps is HUGE!

Theres so much to do. Im really liking it

Bro chill. Im still finishing up act 2 lol.

Killing palm update feels so good. Also passive tree now has “hidden” nodes that only appear after other prerequisites are met. Like if you see a grouping that has 2 large nodes, sometimes there will be a hidden node between the two big nodes that appears after you slot both of the larger nodes… kind of hard to explain, but I found it very cool.

4:39 dude it’s going to take me 200 hours to complete the league 😂

Techrot enters POE2; Party of your lifetime!

The thing the game really needs is more tutorialization of basic features like crafting. The game needs to explain more things and players should not have to rely on third party sites or tutorial videos. I try to get my friends to play but they get overwhelmed and lost almost immediately and it's not their fault - it's the games fault.

Holy shit that was fast, im still doing T6 maps and the breach area :)

My main concern is that you cannot obtain multiple points at once. Either you gain points from main atlas, or delirium, or breach, or unlock new NPC stuff, etc. So the atlas progress feels very stuck to be honest. I'm 100% in for the longer goal of the main atlas, this is good IMO, but stopping the main atlas progress to get the other contents' progress is the bad part for me I would suggest that, after defeating divine arbiter the first time and clearing a section of the fortress, ANY map in the atlas (including those outside fortess) would grant 1 atlas point upon completion. This way the goal would be clear: complete main quest then go do side content while still progressing main atlas while you do so :)

I still never completed the campaign lol

Stability has taken a huge hit for me game lags way more now also encountered so many bugs we might as well call 0.5 a hive base

I'm in act 3 now but I don't know that I'm going to play much more of it. It's cool but I've had my fill of the current classes and I really want something new. I'm really glad they fleshed out endgame a lot more even though it's not really my type of content.

My favourite bug was that equipping Tattered Robes made my witches arms disappear

I'm having so much fun using Akthi (Scorpion) as tamed boss! It's so cool to capture bosses ^^
