What Is The Update Content Of Path Of Exile 2 Patch 0.2.1? - Endgame, Maps And Expedition Log
POE 2 has postponed the release of patch 0.2.1. The new patch for POE 2 will adjust many aspects of the game. The following is an introduction to the adjustments in the upcoming new patch.
Path of Exile 2 postponed the release of patch 0.2.1, which was originally scheduled to be released on May 26, by one week to June, but the specific time has not been determined yet. It is expected to be updated between June 2 and 6.
Since the release of patch 0.2.0 of POE 2, the evaluation of this game by players has dropped significantly. Many players are not satisfied with the adjustments of 0.2.0, so the purpose of the upcoming patch 0.2.1 is to improve the game experience of players from all aspects.
So what updates may POE 2 patch 0.2.1 bring?
Endgame Rewards And Item Drops
Path of Exile 2 will make further adjustments to some endgame item drops in patch 0.2.1.
- Chase Items: Increase the chance of obtaining and add more powerful items.
- Unique Items: Increase the drop rate, strengthen some existing Unique Items, and add new Unique Items.
- Rogue Exiles: Triple the drop rate.
- Twisted Domain: Add rare monsters, increase the number and rarity of items, and ensure that there will be rare Breach Rings in the loot.
- Corrupted Essences: Vaal Orbs have a 6x chance of spawning Corrupted Essences.
Make it easier for players to farm for POE 2 Orbs and improve the efficiency of players in repetitive tasks.
Socketables Update
This update to Socketables adds 22 powerful runes, 14 different types of Soul Cores, and 7 new talismans to make the game more diverse.
The purpose of this update is to replace some resist fillers in the endgame.
Ritual
Adjusted Omens mechanism to make the rare items dropped better quality without changing the number.
Expedition Log
Make all special functions visible on the minimap for strategic planning.
- All Areas: Increase the explosion radius and monster density to obtain more rewards and XP.
- Lush Isle: Added more XP Remnants, added new corruption monsters.
- Frigid Bluffs: Added Vaal bosses and super-Remnants
- Barren Atoll: Increased Strongboxes by 10x, increased Gold drops, and added 2-4 additional Ezomyte runes.
Maps
Normalized item drop rates in hidden caves to make the map more uniform, adjusted Citadel updates so that different Citadels can always appear, but it should be noted that only the parts of Atlas that have not been explored have these updates.
Combat
Nerfed deadly Rituals, reduced the lethality of Volatile Plants, toned down the lethality of Elemental Penetration, and made some balance adjustments to Omens, Clasped Hands, bats in Twisted Domain, and Curses.
Trial Of The Sekhemas
Originally, many players were not very interested in this trial, so POE 2 has made it simpler. The effect of “No Energy Shield” has been halved, and Boons and Afflictions have been recalculated, so that the frequency of each has changed.
Other Fixes And Improvements
Passive Tree display was modified to make it look more direct, and some UI adjustments were made to Atlas modifier to make it easier for players to operate, and the game performance was improved.
Patch 0.2.1 was originally scheduled to be released at the end of May, but it may be because the final test did not meet expectations. After all, players were not very satisfied with patch 0.2.0, so we should be cautious about each update in the future.
It is also possible that the release time of this time was delayed because POE 3.26 is about to be updated. The new patch will be updated later next week, and it will be synchronized as soon as the patch is released.
