Players' anger is heard: PoE2 is urgently releasing fixes with balance adjustments

В Path of Exile 2 after the release of the first major update 0.2.0 and the start of the new league "The Beginning of the Hunt" players began to complain en masse about problems in the game's balance and optimization. Not only did many familiar character builds become unplayable and the difficulty level increased significantly, but the stability of the client itself suffered. Faced with imable bosses and constant crashes with progress rollbacks, gamers began to actively write angry comments.

The Grinding Gear Games development team responded quickly to the situation, rushing to make changes to the game. The very next day after the patch was released, hotfix 0.2.0b was released, correcting some errors and making adjustments to the balance. In addition, the developers promised to continue working on improving the game and talked about their plans on the official website.

The main changes introduced by the hotfix are:

• The "health regeneration" property now only appears on monsters level 65 and above.
• Reduced the number of combos for using Storm Bell.
• Reduced the reload time of the Explosive and Unstable Grenade.
• Curse skill gems have an increased radius as the gem level increases.
• All non-unique monsters up to level 64 have had their health reduced by 25-40%.
• Rare monster minion health bonus reduced from 400% to 94%.

The developers also talked about their plans for future updates, which will focus on improving the current version of the game and creating a positive experience from the new league:

• Changes will be made to the mechanics Spearwomen - a new low-level skill "Cull the Weak" will be added, allowing you to finish off enemies and receive rage charges without parrying, and the parry mechanic itself will be improved.
• The health and damage of the player's minions will be increased.
• Work will continue to eliminate technical failures that lead to crashes and rollbacks.
