POE 2 0.5 is shaping up to be a critical moment for Path of Exile 2, but are players expecting too much from it. In this video, I reflect on community feedback from my last discussion and explore whether 0.5 needs to be fully transformative, or if a more deliberate, foundational step is actually the right move right now.
This isn’t a rant or doompos, it’s a thoughtful discussion about where POE 2 is, where it’s going, and how we should frame our expectations moving forward.
I’d love to hear your thoughts — are expectations too high, or does the endgame need a big shake-up?
