Path of Exile 2 Dev Announces More Emergency Changes as Recent Steam User Reviews Hit 'Mostly Negative'

Path of Exile 2 developer grind gear game has issued many emergency changes to action role-playing games amid the recurrence of NERF-heavy Dawn in the Hunt Update as recent Steam user reviews plummeted to “almost negative.”

The dawn of the hunt, which began earlier this month, prompted a quick backlash between the paths of exile communities. This expansion adds a new Huntress class, a user of spear and bucklers who specialize in hybrid melee and long-range combat. Elsewhere, there are five new ascension classes: Ritualist, Amazon, Kitaba Smith, Tactician and Rich. And with everything that’s a mechanical overhaul, over 100 new unique items and a much expanded craft option.

It should have been a very positive moment for Asylum 2 Path 2 as the community complained that GGG slowed down the pace of the game and made it a “complete slower.”

The “most helpful” reviews of steam over the last 30 days are negative reviews that outline the current issues in the game.

All boss battles are much longer than necessary. Most skills do little or no damage. They say they want to slow down gameplay, but I don’t think they’ll even make it in this league for more than a week at this point. If you can just run the game and get it stable, it feels incredibly bad now. That’s a huge case.

“If you’re a masochist who has little or no punishment for rewards, this game is for you,” reads another negative review. “If not, you may not be enjoying the game.

“The release version (0.1) already had a lot of issues related to area size (too big), slow movement (these larger areas get worse), and forced combo games (which were optional thanks to the ‘unintended’ build options found by players).

“But in this new version (0.2 – Dawn of the Hunt), the game has been slower, as many other reviewers mentioned.

“The less common and acceptable booty at 0.1 was doing quite a lot to kill rare monsters and bosses and not get rare items or craft currency.

“The forced combo gameplay is coming back completely forcing, and developers want us to drill a hole in this kind of gameplay, in contrast to this kind of ARPG.

“Players complained about map size and slow movements, and developers largely ignored these comments until the community backlash was too much to continue to ignore.

“I have 5k hours on Po 1, which is my favorite game. I love GGG, but honestly, I can’t recommend this game to almost anyone like it is now.

“Hopefully they can fix these issues in the future and make the game more enjoyable.”

In response, GGG had already outlined a list of changes, but revealed more as part of the 0.2.0E, scheduled for release tomorrow on April 11th.

The issue with the pass of two exile players is that these changes are sufficient to stem the current of complaints and bring the game back to a positive setting? Path 2 in Asylum 2 was a hugely successful release for GGG, and it’s worth noting that it struggled to deal with the vast number of players at the time of its release. However, this success brought about additional issues that even affected the development of the Asylum 1 path that holds a rather loyal audience.

Pass 2 Updated 0.2.0e Patch Notes for Exile:

Changes in monster speed

Many players have been reported to be overwhelmed by monsters. The causes of this are a variety of factors, and we deal with them on a case-by-case basis. The following laws list the changes to monsters, but the following changes have also been made more commonly.

Many human monsters, including Freythorne’s cultists, Faridun, and tribal humans, have actions that can interrupt melee attacks, especially when attacks where the swipe is left to left to left to right to swipe right. These interrupt events are mostly removed, especially for those that were attacked very quickly, especially since monsters were able to attack without relentlessly and attack, which would not give them time to attract or use skills between attacks.

Haste Aura Monster Modifier is no longer visible to fast monsters.

Act 1

The werewolf prowls and tendrill prowls enter a walking stance (rather than running) after performing a melee action. This behavior is applied to many faster monsters.

The starving stalker, although 12% less lifespan and damage, was already relatively weak, was a little less to take into account movement and attack speed. They aim to engage and attack quickly, but become weaker and die quickly.

Reduced the number of snakes in the red veil flower.

The number of poisonous crabs on the hunting ground has been reduced by half.

Freythorne’s cultists no longer have an interruption event in the attack, as mentioned above.

Freythorne’s cultists wield Freythorne’s axis or mace and then take a melee action before walking.

Blood Cretin in the Death Blood Pool reduced the duration from 6 s to 4 s, and modified the area of effect to make the visual closer match.

Reduced the overall density of more challenging monsters in Ogham Manor.

Act 2

The Boulder Ali in Titan Valley was replaced by the rising Marraquez. There are too many monsters in the area with too many exciting movements.

All Fariduns have been changed to remove the interrupt events of the attack as mentioned above.

Act 3

Diretusk Boar and Antlion Charger’s are more likely to push you to the side rather than pushing you along with you when they charge you.

Lost City Monster Pack composition has been adjusted to reduce ranged monsters

Initially, the aforementioned changes to the suspension event significantly adjusted Azak’s swamp, but the area’s monster composition has been changed, leaving fewer ranged and elite monsters.
