As the heat of new season updates for other similar games such as Last Epoch and Diablo 4 fades, the recently updated patch 0.2.0g increased the drop rate of Rare Items and Currency in the game. Path of Exile 2 said on May 8 that they plan to release a new patch 0.2.0h next week, which will increase players’ interest in playing it.
The upcoming 0.2.0h mainly includes Endgame, Quality of Life, and new Stash Tabs. This patch will make it easier for players to play the game, reduce the time players spend on elements build after battle, and shorten the more boring parts of the game.
Changes To Endgame In Patch 0.2.0h
In order to solve the problem of too few Breaches in Endgame and the Breach duration not being long enough, it will increase the number of enemy spawns and improve the drop of fragments during the breakthrough, reducing the drop of small Breach splinter stacks and changing to a small drop of large Breach.
For this change, although the drop probability of large Breach is lower than that of small Breach, the duration and single drop of Breach have increased. Overall, players will get more Breaches in Endgame, which also means that the amount of repetitive work for players will be reduced.
In addition, Rogue Exiles and Azmerian Wisps have also been adjusted.
POE 2 makes Rogue Exiles easier to find on the map to enrich the combat experience of players; as for Azmerian Wisp, they only said that they will improve the performance when two Azmerian Wisps are activated at the same time. The specific details may have to wait until the patch 0.2.0h update to know what has been improved.
Adjustments To The Player’s Quality Of Life In Patch 0.2.0h
In order to make the player’s game life easier and more convenient, they have also added some UI Icons for Strongboxes and Essences. At the same time, based on some voices from the community, Unidentified Tier 1-5 Magic and Rare items can also be added in this update to make it easier for players to find items.
Patch 0.2.0h Will Add New Stash Tabs
In this patch, the game also mentioned that two new Stash Tabs will be added to the store Ritual Tab and Socketable Tab. One is used to placing Omens and Audiences with the King, and the other is used to store the player’s Runes, Talismans and Soul Cores, which can also be upgraded.
Although it is not mentioned here, these features are likely not free and need to be obtained using POE 2 Currency.
In addition to the above major changes, patch 0.2.0h has some other improvements that POE 2 has not yet mentioned, and we need to wait for the patch update to know.
In addition, POE 2 also said that along with the patch 0.2.0h, Private Leagues will be updated. It will be built on POE 1 website. This League can be played by players alone or with friends.
Although it seems that these Private Leagues cannot obtain additional modes at present, subsequent updates will provide available modes. This feature will be convenient for players who want to start over in a new economy.
After the official update of a series of patches, now seems to be the best time to play Path of Exile 2. If you are thinking about what you want to play next, you can try this game.
