I must be blind cause i still don't see any loot. 1 Exalt from 4 T15 maps ? Ritual gave me 2 exalts .....

still 0.2.0F

This seem like a really big W change for many,

even though they are still salty af.

Same people that haven't noticed that POE2 actually had higher peak player count than LE the last few days :) but hey, I guess LE is much better, just weird it lost its player count to equal or under poe2 in like 2 weeks.

So is there still only 1-2 useable skills per weapon type and we have to use other skills first just to make a skill we want to play feel good to kill white mobs? yeah pass.

The amount of "too late" replies are crazy. Great adjustments, regardless if I play to compare, from now on, any playthrough will feel significantly more convenient and hopeful.

The main thing left with good loot is prioritizing damage modifiers on weapons.
No high-tier rare weapon is interesting until it has +dmg and *dmg modifiers to physical. Opting for elemental damages is suboptimal in almost every case, but that's ok.
Yet, missing out on damage modifiers renders all items useless and experimenting with a few exalts is just not worth the hussle with the low chance you have to get damage modifiers.

Are you serious ? on rare t5-6 map i get min 2 to 4 exalts each one ! each !

Anyway
Thank you GGG for the work you have done.
Waiting for the updates:)

And you are aware that LE had a life-time peak player count on steam of less than half of POE2? POE2 had less than double peak count in April, and the average player count is not even 20% higher.
Also POE2 Recent Reviews "Mostly Negative" while LE Recent Reviews is "Very Positive".

Lost my trust, see you in 1.0 maybe

Thanks GGG, but like many others, I have lost faith in EA and will not waste my time anymore on PoE2. Good luck and maybe until 1.0. I truly hope PoE1 gets the love it deserves, because it is the reason y'all got this far to begin with, and now you are letting your golden goose wither. Such a shame.

Player retention is just as important.

Based on Steam data:

PoE2
Launch (0.2): ~250K players
After 14 days: ~150K → 60% retention
After 30 days: ~50K → 20% retention

LE
Launch (1.2): ~150K players
After 14 days: ~50K → 30% retention
30-day data not available yet

So far, PoE2 is holding onto more of its players longer. It also likely keeps attracting new ones, while LE’s growth seems to taper off after launch.

The key takeaway: PoE2 is steadily improving, and patch 0.2+ updates have been strong. Open Beta is clearly working for them, and steady updates show they’re listening to feedback.

To the devs: You could balance the backlash on 0.2 out by squeezing Druid and Act IV into 0.3. ^^
