Path of Exile 2: The Third Edict's Promising Revamp
Path of Exile 2's upcoming patch, The Third Edict, aims to counteract the disappointment of the previous update. After the 0.2.0 Dawn of the Hunt patch, player morale dipped significantly due to excessive nerfs. Game director Jonathan Rogers emphasizes a focus on fixing every problem highlighted by the community. The overhaul includes major system revisions, aiming for improved build diversity and class balance. "0.3.0 is definitely all about, 'Let's fix every problem anyone has that we can find,'" The removal of support gem limitations is both exciting and risky, promising to deepen gameplay complexity. Rogers expresses hope that this patch will enable GGG to shift focus from fixing to expanding the game. While ambitious, only time will tell if these changes truly reinvigorate the player experience. Overall, if executed well, this could mark a significant turnaround for PoE 2.
