News Tag: POE 2 Currency

Path of Exile 2 Early Access, which caused a significant response in December last year, has been explored by players for three months, and many of the game contents and mechanisms have caused heated discussions among new and old exiles. Although Grinding Gear Games stated at the beginning that this Early Access is expected to last for 6 months, now I think this time is likely to be extended.

Because according to some leaks during this period, this POE 2, which is only in Early Access, is about to start its first season! Yes, you heard it right: it is a season, not the same league as the original. In fact, many players and critics are speculating on the reason for the change of name, but in summary, the most reliable possibility is that GGG wants players to distinguish the original from the sequel.

There are also many opinions on the release time of this new season in the player community and social media, and the most recognized one is March 22. The reason given by the leaker is that according to the release cycle of the original game and pre-patch events, the largest patch 0.2.0 in POE 2 is expected to be released around March 17 to March 20, and the new season is likely to be officially released 2 days after this patch is accepted by players.

Although this is just the guess of the leaker, it makes sense, because there are really significant changes in Patch 0.2.0. For example, a new Ascendancy Class is about to appear in POE 2. From the trailer and leaked pictures released by GGG, it is very likely to belong to Mercenary. This means that after the release of this patch, the level ranking of Mercenary builds are likely to face a very big change.

In addition, this Patch 0.2.0 also shows that there are more auxiliary gems and some expandable construction options entering POE 2, which is extremely beneficial for players to develop more and more interesting game styles, and even the current method of farming POE 2 Currency or experience points in the game will change accordingly.

With this patch that changes the gameplay and style that most players are familiar with, it is not impossible to launch a new season, because providing players with a strong sense of competition while they are still fresh to POE 2 will greatly increase the activity of the entire game. More importantly, the ongoing competition activities will end on March 16, 2025, which shows that Grinding Gear Games is using them to create anticipation for the release of the first season of POE 2.

But for players who have tried many similar types of games, they are not very optimistic about the upcoming new season. The most confusing thing for them is that POE 2 is still in the early access. Will the new season launched here continue to the official version? Can all the resources, loot and even currency obtained by players in it be transplanted to the official version intact? And will the gameplay and difficulty in the official version be different from those in the early access?

In fact, there are many players who are worried about such problems. But unfortunately, Grinding Gear Games has not made a positive and definite response to this, even though it has improved and adjusted many contents of the current game according to the requirements of players in order to win the favor of players. For example, the number and quality of loot obtained after running maps and Towers will be increased in the subsequent patches.

There are also many players with a strong sense of crisis who express their concerns about Grinding Gear Games’ attention to POE 2 at this stage, because this outstanding game developer not only needs to spend a lot of investment and energy on the sequel, but also has POE 1, which has been released for more than ten years, waiting for his attention. The fact that the original fans were dissatisfied with GGG’s excessive preference for the sequel some time ago made these players more cautious: POE 2 can now generate higher income for them, but when POE 1 has a higher popularity, will the sequel also be neglected?

Since the original game’s league update frequency is about 3-6 months, if Season 1 in POE 2’s early access ends in the summer of 2025 (preferably in June), and the official version of the game is released immediately with Season 2, I think it is very likely to cause another uproar, just like the grand opening of the early access release in December last year. But this is only the best state.

But in any case, at this stage, there is no definite information about the theme, release date, and specific gameplay of the first season in Path of Exile 2’s early access, which means that the developers may be preparing for it and are committed to bringing the best gaming experience to all players. We are also looking forward to what kind of surprises this game that has set many records will bring to players around the world in the future. I wish you a happy game!

Path Of Exile 2: Dawn Of The Hunt & Patch 0.2.0 Launch Date

After a long wait, the first season of POE 2 has finally come to light. GGG has publicly announced that it will release Patch 0.2.0 and the new season, Dawn of the Hunt, at 12 PM PDT/3 PM EDT on April 4! We are all looking forward to what surprises this new season and the subversive patch will bring next month.

I found out about a lot of changes to currency in Path of Exile 2, and unfortunately this isn't limited to just the look of them.

Great Change To Currency

Some currencies are disappearing completely, namely the alteration that's gone. As Scouring Orb, this means that you can't force a decent magic base on an item to then build on with other currency. It also means if you drop a good base with terrible mods that base is now useless, because you can't drop it down to 0 and start building it back up again.

This is going to be a huge change to the way crafting works, it's going to mean that the gear you drop is going to be far more valuable than it was before. They've also noted that they don't want to change the way that trading works, this is going to mean trading a lot more blue POE 2 Items I feel and I'm not looking forward to that.

Some Other Changes

In addition to the changes, Chaos Orbs are going to work completely differently to how they do now. Today when we hit an item with a Chaos Orb, it re-rolls all of the mods. So all the mods come off and then a random set of mods come back on. In Path of Exile 2, it will take one of the mods and remove it and replace it with a new mod.

So basically a Chaos Orb is now an annulment followed immediately by an Exalted Orb. Now I can totally see why these changes were made, it really makes the drop of the item much more impactful.

Several Big Problems With This

First use of item filters. They look at item bases, they can't see the roll down item. That means that the use of item filters may actually screw you over.

The other problem I see is not really with items, it's with map sustain. Right now when we drop a map and it has physical reflect on it and our character does fizz, we can't run it.

So what we do today is we discourage the item, this is no longer an option. We then might hit it with a Chaos Orb to refresh everything. That also isn't an option although we might be lucky and remove the Fizz reflect, but there may be other mods on there we want to get rid of too like cannot leech. This is going to become extremely costly, we also need to think about the impact on Cartographer's Chisel, right now when we drop a magic map we scour it and then chisel it up to full, that also is no longer an option.

How To Face These Problems?

We kind of have this problem today when we fall Urban item, we could get it to the perfect state valid and screws it. But today if I'm running short on maps, I just stop valing maps, I can't control the way the maps drop. Not directly linked to POE 2 Currency changes, but it will seriously affect crafting it is they're removing the crafting bench from Path Of Exile 2. It's going to be so much harder in Path Of Exile 2 to craft the perfect end game item, and this is one of the things I hate so so much about endless delve, there was no crafting bench and you really felt that lack of power that you used to have.

Now they have said that they do intend for vendors in towns to be a bigger part of fixing builds and small things we build like resistances and things. So maybe this completely offsets all of these concerns. But I've just had so many bad experiences with getting decent items from vendors early game, that I just don't see it.

Also your vendors aren't going to solve the map problem, map problems aside these changes are probably going to affect SSF players more than any other, because they're gonna have to craft all their items. Even though I play trade League, it's going to affect me more than others because I play with an SSF player mentality even in trade League only buying almost what I absolutely have to.

You may have guessed from my tone that I really dislike these changes, I'm just so scared that I'm gonna hate Path of Exile 2 because of this.

Although Path Of Exile 2 was announced two years ago, there is no specific release date yet. GGG said that POE 2 will be released before 2024, and the public beta will occur within the last one or two years.

As early as the beginning of 2020, the POE 2 development studio made it clear that the sequel will not be completed until at least 2022, but now the situation seems to have changed.

In a recent Baeclast podcast, GGG staff stated that this highly anticipated RPG will arrive before 2024. As for more details, he said that this game can enter the public beta stage at least in the next two years, the worst case is in the summer of 2023. It is a very long wait.

The main reason for the delay was the global pandemic. Since New Zealand's borders will be closed for the rest of this year, it is quite difficult for GGG to find and hire new staff. In addition, GGG also has extra issues in the art direction of the entire project, which makes it different from the previous project.

GGG stated that they are now in complete production mode. They have completed 90% of the first act and 75% of the second act of the game. A total of 7 acts have been announced with Path Of Exile 2, and there is still a lot of work waiting for them to complete.

Waiting is bound to be torture, but the news leaked before about POE 2 is also highly anticipated. Now this news has undoubtedly given GGG more time to design and perfect this game. But the next time players can only focus on Path Of Exile, after all, POE will always follow regular updates, and new leagues will always come.
