Major Endgame Changes in Patch 0.3.1 for Path of Exile 2

Lowering mob count is only good IF you bother to rebalance exp gains and drop rates. Otherwise it's just huge nerf to all the best (aka open layout) maps.

Also I wish we wouldn't have to fiddle with tablets so much.

Now it seems that you'll have to shove them in every time you run a "good" map and take them out (or switch, which is even more fuss) whenever you run a "bad" map. It's better than towers, but it's far from perfect.

Good work GG. What will happen to existing tablets in the upcoming patch? Will they be deleted or retained?

Great changes, but it would be even better if you just deleted this CIV map style Atlas and switched to PoE 1 style Atlas and Map Device, and Atlas tree. Its just better in every single way.

Ever heard the saying "don't try to reinvent the wheel"?
You guys already invented the best endgame in videogame history. You're not going to improve on it by scrapping all the things that made it great and trying something completely different. Build on the foundation of PoE rather than replacing it with these zany ideas. PoE2 Atlas is just unfun and its never going to be fun because it takes away player agency so much, a huge part of what makes PoE mapping so fun is being able to decide what maps you want to run.

Cool

Great to hear midleague changes are something you are willing to do.

The more you can test stuff (without spoiling new content) before a new league is always great as it will smooth out any sharp corners before a majority of players get to experience it.

what happens to grand design? or can you still toss them into a tower as if it were a normal map to jump around the area

#1 dev team !!! GG, GGG !

Next change.
We will make the atlas similar POE1.

The rewards for party play are too high. Can you reduce the bonuses? Or cannot grant rarity bonuses by Gravebind .

yasssssssss!!!

love it!
