Patch notes

These are the official patch notes for Path of Exile 2 version 0.2.0 released by Grinding Gear Games.[1]

The Dawn of the Hunt League

  • Start fresh in a new economy with the Dawn of the Hunt league. All of your old characters from the Early Access launch are still present but a free passive tree refund has been granted due to the changes. We would highly encourage you to join the new leagues to fully take in the changes we've made with the 0.2.0 update.
  • There are Standard, Hardcore and Solo Self-Found variations of the Dawn of the Hunt league available. They have the same core mechanics and items as the existing Early Access leagues.
  • For more information about this content update, check out pathofexile2.com/hunt

New Content and Features

  • Added a new playable character class, the Huntress.
  • Added the new Amazon and Ritualist Ascendancy Classes for the Huntress.
  • Added the new Smith of Kitava Ascendancy Class for the Warrior.
  • Added the new Tactician Ascendancy Class for the Mercenary.
  • Added the new Lich Ascendancy Class for the Witch.
  • Added over 25 new Skills, primarily Spear Skills.
  • Added over 100 new Supports.
  • Added 2 new item classes, Spears and Bucklers.
  • Added over 100 new Unique Items.
  • Added 8 new Endgame Maps, each with new encounters and new rewards.
  • Introduced 4 Unique Strongboxes - special chests with unique encounters.
  • Introduced 12 Rogue Exiles - others like you who have been exiled and are openly hostile. Each one has their own skills and personalities, and are much smarter than the average monster. These Exiles use unique items that they will drop if you successfully kill them.
  • Introduced Azmerian Wisps - spirits that can be found throughout both the campaign and the Endgame. As you approach these wisps, they will flee, leading you past monsters. Any monsters it comes into contact with are infused by the spirit, making them more powerful and the spirit more rewarding. Let them get away for too long and they'll dissipate and return to the woods.
  • Added 15 new Socketable items with new modifers that you can craft onto your items.
  • Introduced the Twilight Reliquary Key. When consumed at The Reliquary Vault, a new area on the Endgame Map, it grants you access to a vault with a chest that drops a special foil version of a Unique item selected by our supporters! They can contain any Unique found in Path of Exile 2, though if the selected item is a Pinnacle Boss drop then only special keys dropped by the relevant content will be able to provide these items. The Twilight Reliquary currently has 453 options for foiled Unique items that it can yield.
  • Essences can now have Vaal Orbs applied to them to corrupt the Essences with a range of unpredictable outcomes. Greater Essences are possible to be upgraded to four new Corrupted Essences.
  • Continued to incrementally improve the sound, art, effects and environments.

Endgame Changes

  • Areas of Corruption on the Atlas now have a central Corrupted Nexus that is the source of the affliction. In the areas leading to the Nexus, Corruption will spill out from slain enemies and amalgamate into powerful monsters.
  • Upon reaching the Nexus you will begin the task of cleansing the source of Corruption. Complete this task and receive Crystalline Shards that you can use to obtain Atlas Passive Skill points.
  • A Boss for each faction has been added, these appear in the Corrupted Nexus.
  • Additional Corruption Monster factions have also been introduced.
  • Corruption Monsters have had their visuals and animations improved, and their skills have been rebalanced.
  • Corruption areas no longer implicitly have +1 to Area Level but now are much more likely to have modifiers, and the modifiers can be more powerful. Some new Corruption modifiers have also been added.
  • Cleansing a Nexus will cause surrounding Maps to become Cleansed Maps which have their own set of Monsters and rewards, including the newly introduced Fracturing Orb.
  • The Fracturing OrbFracturing OrbStack Size: 20Fracture a random modifier on a rare item with at least 4 modifiers, locking it in place.Right click this item then left click a rare item to apply it. Cannot be used on Fractured items. fractures a random modifier on a rare item with at least 4 modifiers, locking it in place.
  • In order to open a Corrupted Nexus Map, the Waystone placed in the Map Device will need to have at least 4 modifiers.
  • You can now respawn and return to a Map if you die. Upon first entering the Endgame, you get up to 6 total attempts per Map. As you add more Modifiers to a Waystone, the number of respawns goes down.
  • In parties, everyone gets to respawn that number of times.
  • You will be able to enter and exit your Maps as much as you like as long as you haven't died. The number of portals is representative of the number of revives you have during the Map.
  • Once you start a Boss fight, the respawning system will change to require the map owner to collectively respawn the entire party. This is so that you must still kill the boss from full life.
  • If you decide to rush to the Map Boss without interacting with any of the other Map content and then die, you will respawn at the Boss checkpoint and only the Map Boss will be present. All of the other monsters and content will be removed. This is to prevent cases where players would be able to farm multiple copies of the same rewards by dying on purpose.
  • The number of Towers on the Atlas has been reduced drastically, but each one is now more powerful.
  • Tablets (except Overseer Tablets) inherently add twice as many mechanics to Towers. Using higher tier Waystones in Towers also now increases the number of mechanics applied by Tablets. By Tier 15 the bonus is double, allowing a single Tablet to now add four times as many things as before.
  • Tower Maps can now spawn with all extra content mechanics, including Bosses.
  • The number of Maps affected by Tablets has been doubled on average, and also now scales based on Map Tier.
  • Killing Rare Monsters required for Map Completion no longer has a chance to grant Monster Modifiers to the remaining Rare Monsters.
  • Increased the chances for Rare monsters to have 3 or 4 Modifiers in Maps (note this means they drop more items). This is mostly to compensate for the removal of rare monsters granting their modifiers to other rare monsters on death.
  • A checkpoint now spawns when the last-available optional content in a Map has been completed.
  • Extra content, such as Breach, Delirium, Expedition and Ritual, now start spawning further away from The Ziggurat Refuge.
  • How Waystones are obtained in Maps has been redesigned. Our intention is to make both sustaining waystone drops much more reliable and less dependant on random elements.
  • Waystones can no longer drop at a lower tier than the map you are in.
  • Waystones dropped by Final Map Bosses will now always be one tier higher than the map you are in.
  • Final Map Bosses and the final naturally-occurring Rare Monsters in Tier 1 maps have a 100% chance to drop a waystone. This chance scales down as you get into higher Map Tiers, but will still be guaranteed with appropriate investment into Waystone Suffix Modifiers and through the Atlas Passive Tree. Natual waystone drops have been reduced to compensate.
  • Removed chances for Waystones to drop a Tier higher from the Atlas Passive Tree, and lowered the amount of Waystone Quantity available on the Atlas Passive Tree.
  • Sources of "Map Boss have a chance to drop a Waystone of the current tier or higher" have been replaced by "increased quantity of Waystones dropped by Map Bosses".
  • Doryani now has up to 10 Waystones available to purchase, either at Tier 1, or one Tier below your highest-completed Tier.
  • Overseer Tablets now cause up to 2-4 Maps in Range to contain Bosses (previously 3-7).
  • The Waystone chance granted by Waystone Suffix Modifiers has been reduced as a result of the new chances to drop Waystones.
  • Unidentified Waystones now provide 30% increased Waystone drop chance, instead of 30% increased Quantity.
  • The first 5 different Unique Maps you complete each now grant 2 Atlas Passive Skill points, for a total of 10 points.
  • The Specialities of some Maps have been adjusted to account for the addition of Azmerian Spirits.
  • Added new modifiers relating to Azmerian Spirits for Overseer's Tablets.
  • Added new modifiers relating to Azmerian Spirits and Rogue Exiles for Precursor Tablets.
  • The Untainted Paradise Map now has 200-400% Increased Experience Gained (previously 150-300%).
  • A new crafting mechanic called Recombination has been added to Expedition, which allows you select mods on two items, hoping to get the best elements of each on a single item. As you select more mods, the chance of success decreases. If you are not successful, the items will be destroyed. This will be unlocked as you complete your first Expedition, and requires artifacts found during the Expedition to fuel it.
  • The Tablet modifier that causes Ritual Favours in your Maps to have 5-10% increased chance to be Omens now has values of 15-25%.
  • The Overseer Tablet modifier that causes Map Boss to have a +10-20% chance to drop a Waystone of the current tier or higher now has values of +5-8%.
  • Precursor Tablets suffixes that granted additional base chance for random extra content, now instead grant increased chance (this affects existing items).
  • The Tablet modifier that provides increased Rarity of Items found in your Maps now has values of 10-15% (previously 10-20%).
  • The Tablet modifier that provides increased Quantity of Items found in your Maps now has values of 3-7% (previously 3-8%).
  • The Tablet modifier that provides increased Pack Size in your Maps now has values of 3-7% (previously 3-8%).
  • The Tablet modifier that provides increased Gold found in your Maps now has values of 10-15% (previously 5-10%).
  • Tablet modifiers that give Breaches in your Maps increased Monster Density now give 4-6% (previously 5-10%), while the modifier that also gives Breaches open faster now has values of 3-5% (previously 8-12%).
  • The Tablet modifier for Rare Monsters having an additional Modifier can no longer roll.
  • The modifier in Simulacrum for Rare Monsters having an additional Modifier no longer appears.
  • The various endgame quests that lead to the Arbiter of Ash encounter have been consolidated into a single quest.
  • All Bosses that are affected by Difficulty and Simulacrum can now drop all of their specific unique items at any Difficulty, however rare uniques are even rarer at lower difficulties. This also applies to the drop chances for Reliquary keys from this content.
  • Pinnacle boss content now takes roughly half the amount of time to unlock compared to before. In addition, Pinnaccle bosses have been made much easier at Difficulty 0 as well. It's our intention to allow you to face Difficulty 0 of this content much earlier in your endgame progression while still preserving the difficulty of Difficulty 4.
  • Players no longer lose experience from from dying in Simulacrum, The Twisted Domain, Olroth's arena inside Logbooks, the Crux of Nothingness, or The Burning Monolith. Players also no longer gain experience from killing monsters in these areas.
  • Moved the location of the stash in Simulacrum to make it harder to accidentally start the encounter when trying to open the stash.
  • Reduced the Power of Notables on the league specific Atlas Passive Trees for acquiring Logbooks, Breach Splinters, Simulacrum Splinters and an Audience with the King.
  • Delirium Encounters in Maps now reward 1 Simulacrum Splinter each time a reward type is filled.
  • Simulacrum Splinters can now be obtained through Delirium Encounters in all Map Tiers, with the amount scaling up per Map Tier.
  • The base number of Monsters spawned in Delirium Encounters has been reduced, and the number that emerge by touching Fracturing Mirrors has been greatly increased.
  • Reduced the intensity of the fog in Delirium encounters.
  • The number of Monsters spawned from Breaches has been reduced.
  • A higher percentage of the total number of Breach monsters spawned are now spawned earlier in the encounter.
  • Reduced the number of small Breach chests found.
  • Breach Splinters can now be obtained from Breaches in all Map Tiers, with the amount scaling up per Map Tier.
  • Breach and Delirium encounters are now considered complete when you open the Clasped Hand or Delirium Mirror.
  • Strongboxes now spawn slightly more packs of Monsters in Maps.
  • Omens now always appear as Ritual Rewards in Map areas. There's also a small chance for an additional Omen to appear.
  • The vendors in The Ziggurat Refuge and those in your Hideout now correctly have level 65 items available, rather than one having level 60 items and the other level 70.
  • If you exit the game while in an endgame map area, logging back into the same character will now place you back inside the map instance if it still exists.

Atlas Passive Tree Changes

  • Added support for Azmerian Spirits and Rogue Exiles to the Atlas Passive Tree.
  • Added more Notable Passives and reworked some existing ones to make the available choices more interesting.
  • The Deadly Evolution Atlas Keystone has been replaced by a new Keystone called Ecological Shift which causes your Maps to have 40% more chance to contain Random Extra Content, and 20% less number of Monster Packs in your Maps.
  • Can now obtain 40 Atlas Passive Skill points (previously 30).
  • The Crumbling Walls Atlas Notable Passive now has 10% chance for an additional Breach (previously 15%), 3% chance for three additional Breaches (previously 5%) and 1% chance for ten additional Breaches (previously 2%).

General Improvements

  • In order to work around a common crash that was occuring on nVidia hardware with recent drivers the game can now recover from "Device Removed" events. When this occurs the game will display a loading screen (and pause) while it attempts to recover. This only applies for this specific type of client crash, not all client crashes.
  • The Reforging Benches in towns have been repositioned to more optimal locations. The Stash and Guild Stashes have also been slightly spaced apart to reduce misclicking.
