Has Patch 0.5 finally fixed Item Rarity... or is it still one of POE 2's biggest problems?
In Episode 53 of The Path 2 Exile Podcast, we're joined by @snoobae8553 to discuss the current state of Item Rarity in Patch 0.5 and whether Grinding Gear Games has found the right balance.
We also dive into Patch 0.5 as a whole, Temple, Expedition's permanent boons, update cadence, the POE 1 & POE 2 development cycle, and what we'd like to see moving forward.
📌 Topics Discussed:
• Snoobae's thoughts on Twisters this league
• Overall impressions of Patch 0.5
• Is GGG updating POE 2 often enough?
• Temple in Patch 0.5
• More balance with less content vs. more content with less balance
• Are Expedition's permanent boons healthy for the game?
• Thoughts on the POE 1 & POE 2 development cycle
• Diablo 3 & Diablo 4 discussion
• The upcoming Path of Exile 1 league
• Is Item Rarity still a problem in Patch 0.5?
