Severe lag?
Hi everyone! I played PoE2 at launch and had lots of fun with a Ranger build. I just started playing the game again after a long break, and I am having tons of lag - it's literally unplayable. I uninstalled and decided to play LE instead. I'm just wondering if anybody else experienced something similar? Have the servers gone wonky since Season 2 started? Thanks :)

How does the co-op feature work in Path of Exile 2

Co-op Modes

what is the difference between Path of Exile 1 and Path of Exile 2
Damage conversion works in different way. In poe 1 you can have pure physical damage 2h axe, scale it with increase physical damage passive nodes, more physical damage support gems, and than convert all that damage into fire and scale it from increase fire/elemental damage passives. In poe 2 it will only scale from fire/elemental damage passives, and conversion will work only for base physical damage.
