POE 2 - THE BIG LOOT PATCH - 0.2.0g: Huge Buffs For Most Players. Path Of Exile 2 Dawn of the Hunt

#pathofexile #pathofexile2 #dawnofthehunt One more huge POE2 patch, this tries and I think mostly succeeds at fixing the loot issues that have fundamentally been caused by GGG's determination to keep 'increased item rarity' as a player stat, which necessitated making loot bad for everyone without that stat. They're pulling back from that now, and hopefully rarity will get removed entirely soon. At the time of posting this video, the patch was deployed... then rolled back after a game-breaking bug. Should go live tomorrow (NZ Friday) assuming the gem deleting bug is fixed. Yes you heard right, gems were just getting deleted on login... 0:00 Intro. 0:45 The Item Rarity Changes (overall a buff): Part 1 - What's Being Nerfed - Player Rarity, Zone Rarity 2:34 The Item Rarity Changes (overall a buff): Part 2 - What's Being Buffed - Monster Rarity 3:39 Removing Awful Drops - Normal Items (maybe also scrolls & regal shards) now STOP dropping from some monsters 4:52 Reducing 'Meh' Drops - Changes To Gold Drops From Tough Monsters (no net nerfs to gold drops, net buffs to other drops) 5:34 Reducing 'Meh' Drops - Item Classes That Will Seldom Drop From Tough Monsters Post-Patch 6:14 Changes To 'Uber Rare Items' (Tiered Rares - huge buff), and to tiered magic items (tiny buff) 9:54 Summary Of These Changes - Far Better Loot Early In Progression, likely slightly better deep into endgame 10:33 Unique Boss Drop Protection - mitigating awful luck in acts 1-2 11:42 Azmeri Wisp Buffs.
