Is Patch 0.5 the best update Path of Exile 2 has ever received?
In Episode 46 of The Path 2 Exile Podcast, we're joined by @787 to discuss our experiences with the Return of the Ancients league, the state of the game after launch, and why many players are calling this the strongest update in POE 2's history.
From league starters and build progression to Atlas improvements, bossing, crafting, and the revamped league mechanics, we break down what worked, what didn't, and where POE 2 goes from here.
📌 Topics Discussed:
• League ratings & major bug discussions
• Everyone's league starters and build journeys
• Game-breaking bugs and launch issues
• Deep dive into the Reworked League Mechanics
• Atlas improvements & campaign changes
• Bossing, progression, and Pinnacle gating
• Crafting systems, jewels, and late-game progression
