The 0.2.0 update for Path of Exile 2 has not been well-received, to put it lightly. A heavy hand on the nerf hammer has driven away a significant chunk of those players who like action RPGs for the monster-blasting action, revealing a core tension at the heart of Path of Exile 2’s design, as Russell…
