GGG is back from their holiday break and already working hard to bring us new updates! In Episode 275, we dive into our hopes for Path of Exile 2 patch 0.1.1 (which drops the same day this episode goes live). Will we see new ascendancies, classes, or tweaks to the endgame and campaign? We also chat about our week of gameplay—respecs, fresh playthroughs, and some thoughts on the new guild challenges and community feedback. Thanks for your constant support, and we hope you’re having a blast in both Path of Exile 1 and the Path of Exile 2 Beta! Love ya! 💖

Happy New Year, Everyone! We hope you've had a great time since the holiday season took off. Hopefully, the rest of the holidays treats you well too! With the Christmas lull in effect we had tons of time to settle into Path of Exile 2's beta and theory-craft new ideas, progress on old ones, and do a little daydreaming while we're at it. We're looking forward to the next wave of GGG patch notes! That's for your support each and every week! You rock!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! We're now two weeks into Path of Exile 2's Early Access/Beta and GGG has been going strong on patches and improvements, and the community is flying high with non-stop feedback. It's been a blast being a part of Early Access (and infuriating) as we all keep trucking towards the eventual goal of balance. Thanks for all of your support each and every week and we hope you have a wonderful holiday season.

Path of Exile 2! The world has now had a full week of Early Access and we have both taken full advantage. We've "cleared" our calendars and have been playing it non-stop. This week, like all weeks, but especially this week, we couldn't stop talking about our experiences, hopes, and build(s). It's an exciting time to be in Path of Exile Land! Hopefully, GGG is feeling the same. Thanks for listening each and every week! We love being a part of your weekly routine. Have fun with PoE and may the RNG be with you.

Path of Exile 2 is finally here! The masses are finally able to play! Who cares if it's Early Access, the fine-tuning will come. For now, we get the next iteration of GGG's vision in the comfort of our homes. In episode 270, we obviously talk about our Day 1 launch experiences for PoE 2's EA and, well, that's it! You're all the best and we hope you had a great "league" launch! Thanks for listening!
