Path of Exile 2 Developers Roll Out Key Updates Following Early Access Feedback

Grinding Gear Games addresses player concerns with gameplay tweaks, improved rewards, and bug fixes just days after launch.

Path of Exile 2 launched in Early Access on December 6, 2024, with over 1 million players but faced server instability and technical issues during its debut weekend.
Developers quickly implemented changes to address player feedback, including improved dodge roll mechanics, checkpoint teleportation, and adjustments to item drop rates for a more rewarding experience.
Rare monsters now provide better loot, with doubled rarity bonuses per modifier and increased chances for higher modifier counts in endgame content.
Currency drop rates have been rebalanced, significantly increasing the availability of items like Gemcutter’s Prisms and Regal Orbs while slightly reducing Chaos Orb drops.
Additional bug fixes and quality-of-life updates include minimizing instances of players getting trapped during combat and ensuring rare monsters are easier to locate on the minimap in endgame maps.
