The Path 2 Exile Podcast

Path of Exile 2’s balance cycle might be too slow — and it’s starting to show.

In Episode 15 of The Path 2 Exile Podcast, the crew dives deep into the current state of POE 2’s patch pacing, the need for more frequent balance updates, and how player interest shifts between POE 1 and POE 2. We also discuss the Breach rework, leaderboards, endgame improvements, and make more 0.4 release date predictions. Plus, we talk about our experiences in Path of Exile 3.27, community contests, and the first Wraeclast World Tour announcement!

Path of Exile 2 is missing something critical — true chase items.

In Episode 13 of The Path 2 Exile Podcast, we are joined by xTheFarmerx to discuss the current state of the game, the future of chase uniques, and whether the mindset that “everyone should be able to get everything” is hurting the excitement of loot.

In Episode 12 of The Path 2 Exile Podcast, we are joined by KingKongor to dive deep into Path of Exile 2’s current state.
