Path of Exile 2 Patch Notes Summary - Patch 0.1.1

A god tier update, whats that even mean? Its just a basic patch to fix all the crap!!

The thing i find funny is nobody asked about when Swords & Greatswords will be added to the loot pool. I guess it was the least thing on everyone's mind right now

thanks

GGG in 2025 is to me what CDPR was in 2014

Bruh what about the game breaking hard crashes and hard freezes go figure

Idk why people can't wrap their head around ascending tier order instead of descending. Makes more sense the bigger the tier number, the better the roll. PoE1's system was the one that didn't make sense.

Xbox here..why not fix the fucking marketplace..it's an imparitive part of the game..😢

Bro these notes are insane! GGG is absolutely crushing this.

Elon's Maps tab when?

To fix a large portion of the armour issue, implement the following: There is a stat that is hardly ever seen, and it's called 'Guard'. It fully blocks all damage just like shield but every damage type at 100% effectiveness. They should have the same thing for armour directly on every piece of gear inherintly or just built into the background of armour as a substat that's visible on the character page. Tanking large hits is currently the big issue. A stat called 'Heavy Guard' should be made which will scale with how much armour you have and will negate a portion of the damage received from all hits that armour would be a part of the equation for. I.e.: (random example) I have 40% physical damage reduction from my armour. This will give me 24% 'Heavy Guard' (which is 60% of my 40% dmg reduction). I am going to be hit for 75% of my hp during the next hit. I then take 24% of the damage I am about to take and remove it because 'heavy guard' completely negates it. Which means i would not take 75% of my hp but 57%. The higher your armour the more it will negate percentage wise which will scale properly no matter the numbers given because it's percentage based. The higher your armour and the bigger the hit the more it will negate. Yes, it's essentially a 2nd layer of armour but designed inversely to deal with large hits and not small ones (which is how the current armour is set up)

They REALLY need to add in an option to disable the CO-OP effects so my screen doesn't get covered with ally attacks and now I can't see anything and can't tell if that poison cloud is friend or foe

On my second run, initially played as monk, was a complete grind. Now through sorcer and melting opponents, a lot more fun. That being said, I still only understand maybe 10% of the mechanics amongst gear, upgrades, and skills. Even listening to this, I probably understand 2% of what any of this means. I’ll trust the community though, sounds like they are doing right by the players. When was the last time someone said that about developers… well done!

Let’s hope they redesign boss fights so we don’t have to be dodge-roll experts in order to not get 1-shot by them. If not, I’m not coming back to the game.

Thanks man! 👌❤️

Thanks so much for this, I watched the livestream but I can’t remember all that shit myself, this is very useful

Did they say anything about cross saves? When I try to setup my account it says "You cannot add this login method to this account." I hope they fix this I wanna -lay on consoles

I feel like the ascendancy thing is really just a balance problem. When the ascendancy's get balanced people will not be as mad.

Also I logged onto PoE 1 to try it out, and all of my stash tabs I bought in PoE 2 transferred to PoE 1, huge

If blight gets added back to poe2 I’m buying a pc

Hey rax can u confrim mouse and keyboard for consol?

I think maces are garbage even in campaign

Tiers shouldn't be NUMBERS, it should be LETTERS. Imagine S tier Bow vs B Tier Bow. They can always add Z tier lol

Great summary, thank you! I agree that concentrating on QoL and general improvements of the game now and doing rebalancing together with new content and economy later is exactly the right approach. I think this patch is almost perfect, although I hoped that would add the new stash tabs (maps, breach & expedition) now - but still very good what they have accomplished in just 2 weeks, especially if you compare it with Blizzard. I also appreciate that they listen to the community, but also not overreact. For example, I agree that they don't have to change MF or map sustain, despite many people screaming for it.

Coming from Destiny 2, this is a breath of fresh air seeing how transparent they are with their player base. No excuses or “we need to do better”. They hear us out and agreed to fix things that majority of the players asked for or was transparent on why they can’t make those decisions yet. Amazing dev team

Imo, 6 portals for maps to make playing multiplayer less tedious, and make crafting gear possible (only needs scouring and alterations to make it work). It worked in PoE 1 and that game is like the best ARPG of all time.

They said effects made by an elite don't trigger if you kill the boss before they hit. Off camera elites can't drop bombs on you when you have no way of seeing it which is great too

Nice summary, thank You!

About the compromised accounts: 66 are the logged ones, but because of the logs going out of date there were also 5 days unaccounted for before that.

Source: He said it in the interview, but a lot of people probably just heard "66 accounts".
Why is it important? Some people seem to have been giving the devs hasted responses as if they were lying and hiding the real numbers.

I just don’t want it to be like Diablo where you get what you need in 10 hrs and quit the game from boredom

Wish they can do something when playing with others. Example: Ice Wall shouldn’t block teammates IMO

Ive been playing end game for at least 70 hours and i havent seen 1 dam tablet. Yes i have passive point in the tree for more tablets.

So... if we are getting reset, are they adding more into the game? Characters and gems? I mean, why reset if not?

They are doing such a good job im really excited about this game more so then I thought and I only had like 10 hours on poe1. The fact they are helping new players is great my brother just got into it beciase of me and he sucks lmao

Lmao dude Blizzard scarred us with pre season 1 nerfs. Hearing raxx start the video brought me back to my gutted Barb

STRONGLY disagree with ascendancy not being swappable.
As well as cost of respeccing, you should want people to mess around with various builds.
You’re cutting off people’s creativity.

I’ve played only meta builds because it’s such a nightmare to make a new build and I can’t switch Ascend.

I don’t agree with 1 death maps, I think 2 is pretty fair.
Say 3 for mid-end game and 4 for Pinnacle bosses would be fair.

I’d argue Divines are a problem.
The barrier to entry for high end gameplay is stuck behind builds that cost 3-5 D each and then 10-40d for weapons / offhand.
The amount of time it takes the casual to get 35-50 D is pretty rough.
Maybe I’ve just had bad luck with drops.

If I hadn’t invested in them, as well as bought up a bunch of items for 1 D that then sold for 10-20 a week later, I’d be poor as hell.

G

I hope they don’t nerf lightning damage and just bring other damage up.

I don’t want to have to sell all my gear and rebuild my class, just make the other builds more viable, even better.

I mean some things need a nerf obviously.

All endgame, but I can't even reach endgame because I don't get any decent gear & my damage output is just almost non existent (level 48 lightning sorceress)

Major balance changes will happen later with a reset.... what will they reset ? Skill nerfs + a restart of the league ?

Im mega happy with the upcoming changes, but I honestly wish they tuned down some mega broken builds/setup. And having a major tuning patch later.
Like spark, herald, temporalis blink etc etc..

And this is from a spark players perspective.

Do they think that disenchanting is exactly where they want it to be? I think that disenchanting is dead maybe after half of act 1.

Ugh no new classes I just wanna use a sword 😮‍💨

Here's an easy fix for minions body blocking.
- Make narrow paths WIDER.
- Delete doorways and similar things.

Thanks Raax super informative video in a condensed form!!!
