Hey everyone! 
With all the buzz around Path of Exile 2, I wanted to start a discussion about what we’re expecting—or hoping—for this much-anticipated sequel. After Grinding Gear Games dropped their jaw-dropping trailers and updates, it's clear that they’re aiming to shake things up in the ARPG space.
Here are a few points I'm personally excited about (and curious about your thoughts):
What about you? Are you hyped for Path of Exile 2? What features are you most excited (or worried) about? Let's hear your theories, speculations, and wild wishlist items!
With all the buzz around Path of Exile 2, I wanted to start a discussion about what we’re expecting—or hoping—for this much-anticipated sequel. After Grinding Gear Games dropped their jaw-dropping trailers and updates, it's clear that they’re aiming to shake things up in the ARPG space.
Here are a few points I'm personally excited about (and curious about your thoughts):
1. The New Campaign
They're introducing an entirely new storyline alongside the original PoE campaign. This dual-campaign setup is fascinating—do you think it’ll keep the community united, or might it split the player base?2. Combat and Animation Upgrades
The updated animations, improved physics, and redesigned skill systems look incredible. It seems like they’re moving toward more fluid, impactful combat. Do you think this will rival other ARPGs (cough Diablo IV cough)?3. Skill Gem Overhaul
The new socket system for skill gems is a bold step. It simplifies the process without dumbing it down, which I think might make the game more accessible without alienating hardcore fans. What’s your take? Will this change the way we theorycraft?4. Graphics and Presentation
From the trailers, the game looks stunning. The darker, grittier atmosphere is something I missed from other modern ARPGs. But will it run well on mid-range PCs, or are we looking at another hardware upgrade year?5. Release Timeline
Now here’s the big one—when do you think PoE 2 will actually drop? They’re aiming for a beta in 2024, but do you think they’ll meet that goal? And how does this timeline align with Path of Exile 1's future leagues?
I love how PoE 2 is being designed as an evolution of the first game rather than just replacing it outright. It shows respect for the current player base while welcoming new ones. That said, balancing these two campaigns and player bases is going to be tricky.What about you? Are you hyped for Path of Exile 2? What features are you most excited (or worried) about?
