Path of Exile 2 will introduce a completely new campaign storyline, consisting of seven acts, and an overhaul of many of the game's core systems.
The expansion was later delayed to a 2022 release. GGG didn't have a release date for Path of Exile 2 yet, but it was said to be unlikely to enter a Beta phase until at least very late 2020. It was officially announced by Grinding Gear Games on November 15, 2019, during ExileCon. They (and their players) have determined that it didn't quite work, frequently creating unpredictable and deadly difficulty spikes, so they're axing that and replacing it with a whole new pool of simpler, more readable perks and modifiers for monsters to spawn with.Path of Exile 2 (initially referred to as Path of Exile 4.0) is an upcoming expansion for Path of Exile. Previously, Grinding Gear had taken the new monster modifiers they created for the Archnemesis league and made them standard throughout the whole game. This expansion brings one major regression. The law of averages being what it is, not every new addition to Path Of Exile can be a winner. There's a new flask that (if used in time) can prevent you from one-shot deaths, a jewel that can Consecrate of Profane the ground you walk on depending on your stats, and a pair of gloves that gives all your spells the brutal-sounding 'Impale On Crit' bonus. There's also the usual handful of new Unique items, including a few designed by the winners of the previous league's boss-kill race, and dropping from the biggest, meanest optional bosses in the endgame. There's also a few new Vaal (blood-fueled 'smartbomb' style variants) versions of melee gems, including Flicker Strike and Cleave, giving melee-focused characters a little more freedom. Frozen Legion is an extremely cool looking (not sorry) spell for staves, maces and axes that summons a ring of icy statues around your target, each of which takes one swing at your victim before shattering. Volcanic Fissure is a new AoE attack for staves, maces and axes that splits open the earth, causing a burst of magma projectiles. While Ruthless might be limiting skill gem drops, there's a couple new types to find across all modes. Doubly so if they manage to make it through the Sanctum with these harsh restrictions, too. Plus, whoever completes it first in Solo Self-Found (no trading, no stashes) and Hardcore (one life only) will have no shortage of bragging rights. While I can't see Ruthless mode being my main mode of play, I'm sure it'll generate some interesting stories from players. Perhaps I'm a bit of a masochist, but I do miss those early days where every enemy felt like a threat, and mini-bosses were frequently terrifying encounters. Of course, the pain should ease up over time as players build up a new cross-character stash in Ruthless mode, but those initial few runs sound like a cruel and unusual return to form. Movement skills are almost entirely removed, town portals no longer refill your healing flasks, skill gems level slower, experience slows to a trickle after a point-if it's a disempowerment fantasy you're after, this is it. Grinding Gear lays out the hurt to come in this extensive blog post. There's a lot more to Ruthless than just reducing drops. The idea is that you'll play a more reactive game, building your character around whatever lucky finds you make, rather than beginning with a complete battle-plan that just needs a little grind to execute. Crafting will be far more limited, and skill gems will become infrequent loot drops and quest rewards rather than something shopkeepers are overstocked on. While still considered 'experimental' and subject to sweeping changes, Ruthless Mode vastly reduces the amount of loot dropped, with magical items becoming even rarer still. Rather than make the game harder through inflating enemy stats further, Path Of Exile is doing the unthinkable: taking your toys away.
These complaints may sound silly to newcomers intimidated by the game, but I assure you, modern PoE has become far faster and easier. It's a waste of good sufferingįor me, the most interesting part of this expansion is Ruthless mode, Grinding Gear's answer to players saying that power inflation had led to the game becoming too fast, too easy and too breakable. And speaking of bleeding… No tears, please. But you'll have to cut yourself on them a few times first. The idea-at least on paper-is that you'll be able to sand down some of the dungeon's rougher edges. Templar Relics are special items that can modify the Sanctum itself, and are kept in a special storage screen between attempts.
To reduce frustration, there are some long-term perks you can unlock that carry between runs.
