Last week saw a major patch for Path of Exile 2 that made a bewildering range of alterations to the game, with the headline message being that almost everything got nerfed. The goal was to improve the endgame experience by making it more challenging for players: but after a few days in the wild, it looks like all Grinding Gear Games has done is hack people off.
I'll highlight some individual reactions but by far the most common complaint is about the pace of the game post-patch, with most players saying the game now feels way too slow: a combination of increased monster life, decreased player damage and the large maps making even low-level fights feel like a slog.
