When I was looking for the new content I saw that my account got hacked during my break. I wrote to GGG support and they said and I quote: "The ban was placed due to a breach of Section 7 of our Terms of Use, and as is mentioned in our Terms of Use under Section 16, you are solely responsible for all activities undertaken on your account."…

Path of Exile 2 - a sicko-mode action RPG in early access with a $30 early buy-in, hit 460k I'm starting to think there's a market for this kinda thing.

unlabelledView post →You'll hear that you can only play this with a guide. That spending skill points wrong will cause the heat death of the universe. That rolling your own gear is a waste of time because you couldn't possibly comprehend the machinations of PoE crafting. You can ignore all that. You can ignore basically everything anyone with 1000+ hours says. You can play this game just fine on your own if you want. It's a fun video game behind all the elitism, and most of the community are actually quiet types…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Path of Exile rewards curiosity in a way few action RPGs manage. The early acts feel familiar at first, but the moment you start experimenting with support gems and the passive tree, the game opens into a giant sandbox of ideas. A single skill can become a completely different tool depending on how you route your passives and which supports you pair with it. I went from glass cannon mapper to tanky boss hunter without rerolling, simply by rethinking links and a few key passives. That sense of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this whole Elon/Path of Exile thing because if he had even the slightest clue about the game he would know how absolutely feral that community is when it comes to picking apart secrets and odd interactions.
unlabelledView post →I have around 2000 hours in Path of Exile. At this point, I’m not playing a game—I’m maintaining a long-term toxic relationship. You don’t install this game. You invite it into your life. It sits there quietly at first… then slowly consumes your free time, your sleep schedule, and any remaining sense of self-worth. One day you’re killing zombies on a beach, next day you’re googling “why does my build suck” at 4AM like your life depends on it. The passive skill tree isn’t a tree. It’s a…

unlabelledView post →Your EU servers are a joke and have been for years, yet you do nothing about it. At this point i believe you are never going to attempt to remedy the situation. This and PoE2 are the only games i have connectivity issues with EVERY season. You know there is a routing issue that effects EU and it was shown to you 5+ years ago and you STILL haven't fixed it.

unlabelledView post →That Path of Exile 2 speedrun at AGDQ really highlights how skill-based the game is. Even funnier that it's using the Warrior - the class that (if you listened to forum griping) is the slowest and most useless in the game. Dude has won almost every official hosted race for the game with Warrior.

unlabelledView post →I have over 20,000 hours in Path of Exile. I don't say that to appeal to authority, but to make it clear where I'm coming from. I've played through countless leagues, watched the game evolve, adapted to almost every major system overhaul, and defended GGG through plenty of controversial changes over the years because I believed they were ultimately making the game better. This is the first time I genuinely feel like Path of Exile has lost sight of what made it special. I'm not going to…

Issues: - Performance: Every league the game becomes more and more bloated without any signs of optimization. The recommended specs haven't been updated since forever.

Playing PoE means constantly alternating between praising the developers as geniuses and wondering whether a monkey, homeschooled by a pigeon and armed with a crayon, could design better systems and leagues. GGG can release a genuinely excellent league, then follow it with something as bad as Keepers or…

unlabelledView post →After trying countless ARPGS including path of exile 2 this is arguably the best ARPG title hands down, tons of content, endless dopamine and a wide variety of skill levels that are viable, but be warned to be top tier you have to dedicate a lot of time and research to compete with the top players if that's your thing. I'm about average or possibly above average even though I have 1.1k hours in this game and just feel like the best tip is: Play what you want, at the pace that you want and…

It is genuinely one of the worst I have ever seen in a live-service game. I contacted support about a trade interface issue, something simple that should have taken basic guidance. Instead, I got a chain of replies so dismissive and low-effort that it honestly shocked me. Every message was either: • A copy-paste template • A link to years-old, irrelevant documentation • Or…
