Path Of Exile 2 Quick Gold

With the August 29th release of Patch 0.3.0 drawing near, Path of Exile 2 recently released a special teaser image, sparking speculation among players, despite not receiving a formal trailer.

At first glance, the image appears to consist primarily of incomprehensible symbols, with a portion circled and accompanied by a still-cryptic annotation.

While most players remain clueless, the prevailing theory is that this may foreshadow Act 4 and more, which will appear in Patch 0.3.0.

So, what exactly can be learned from this image, and does it indicate that Patch 0.3.0 will deliver satisfactory results? We'll explain.

What Does This Image Depict?

While the notes shown in the image mostly contain strange symbols, they're actually a special kind of text, and further clues to the puzzles may not be revealed until a more official update is released for Path of Exile 2.

But if you're a veteran of Path of Exile series, you might already have your own theories based on speculation from the community, the annotations in the image, and your own vague impression of these symbols from Path of Exile.

Speculations About The Teaser Image

First, it's important to understand that, as an early access release, only Acts 1-3 are currently available in Path of Exile 2. Therefore, among all the predictions about the content of Patch 0.3.0, Acts 4-6 is a popular possibility.

Based on this, as the first official Patch 0.3.0 preview, this image foreshadows at least some of the plot of Act 4. In fact, the mysterious symbols in the image look strikingly similar to Kalguur Runes.

Furthermore, portions of Path of Exile 2 art book suggest that Act 4 will probably take place in Karui Archipelago and Kalguuran town of Kingsmarch. These two factors combined lend credence to the speculation surrounding the release of new acts.

Another speculation regarding the new content in the image is that it involves a new class. Some players believe the first row of symbols in the image represents the word Druid, which is the most possible new class to be released in POE 2 patch 0.3.0.

Overall, both of these speculations are based on existing information about 0.3.0 and the meaning of the image's symbols, making them highly reliable. Of course, further details and accuracy will depend on future official announcements.

What Will This Mean If The Speculations Come True?

If patch 0.3.0 does indeed bring Acts 4-6 (or at least Act 4) and Druid, it would further enhance the playability of Path of Exile 2. You would be able to explore the new acts and learn more about the game's story.

In addition, you'll gain more opportunities and ways to earn POE 2 currency through quests offered by new acts, and new Druid skills. The currency can then be used to strengthen yourself and accelerate your access to the new endgame content introduced in patch 0.3.0.

What Are Players Looking Forward To In The New Patch?

Because POE 2 is still in early access compared to POE 1, it's inevitable that it has some shortcomings. These can only be addressed through continuous updates until it reaches the level of a "full-fledged" ARPG.

Based on feedback from POE 2 player community, you'll find several known issues that everyone is eager to see addressed or resolved. We'll discuss each one below.

Maintaining Balance

While most aspects of the game require balance, this requirement often applies to classes and skills. For example, when Dawn of the Hunt first launched, you might have felt that the new Huntress class was overpowered.

On the other hand, since skills in Path of Exile series are acquired through equipping gems, it's easy for individual gems to be exceptionally powerful.

Therefore, if these two issues remain unresolved, not only will the player experience for different classes and skills in POE 2 be unbalanced, but it will also lead to a tendency for most players to utilize the same combat setup, resulting in a homogenized experience.

More Useful And Interesting Endgame Content

As a hardcore ARPG, Path of Exile 2's core is undoubtedly its challenging endgame. However, since its early access launch, the endgame has consistently suffered from issues such as slow pacing, a lack of interesting content, and excessive & pointless restrictions.

Therefore, if POE 2 is to further improve the game with patch 0.3.0, it should focus on adding more useful and interesting gameplay to the endgame, rather than simply cramming a bunch of inexplicable features into the game and labeling it "new" and thinking everything is fine.

Adding The Auction House

Currently, available POE 2 trading methods include trading directly with other players or through the official trading platform. While both are excellent, the game truly needs an auction house!

In any MMORPG, the auction house isn't just a trading venue, it's also the perfect place for socializing and keeping up-to-date on the market conditions for various items.

Furthermore, it would be ideal to add an automated offline trading mechanism to the auction house - a major shortcoming of existing trading methods.

This mechanism could help players with urgent trading needs obtain their desired items immediately, and it could also help sellers who are offline clear their inventory. Why not? While both parties can communicate more details online, sometimes this isn't necessary.

While you may hope that Path of Exile 2 will continue to improve your experience, remember that it's still a work-in-progress. So, as long as its basic performance is satisfactory, you should give it enough time to mature.

That's our introduction to the new teaser image, along with our speculation on what Patch 0.3.0 might offer. Thank you for reading.

Since the release of Path of Exile 2 in Early Access, speculation about the future development and updates of the game has never stopped. Although some content is still under development, the developers have not let down the expectations of players, and plan to release major content updates every four months or so, just like the original game.

A recent post by the developers responded to the upcoming patch 0.3.0, which will be released on August 29, and will introduce a new league with new mechanics, and may even be introduced to the main game.

Although this date is a little later than we expected, as a major league update, the game team does have too much content to prepare, and they must also solve some basic performance and server issues to avoid the poor connection problems that appeared in POE 3.26, which affects the player’s gaming experience.

Although more details about POE 2 0.3.0 patch will not be released until a week before the release, this does not prevent us from speculating on the changes that may be included in this update. After all, these terrible problems have been complained about in the player community for too long!

Possible Introduction Of New Classes

As the most anticipated new class in POE 2 0.2.0 patch, Huntress has been the focus, but in fact, the developers originally expected to add more than just this class, Druid is also among them.

However, we did not see Druid in Dawn of the Hunt league, and the developers responded that they were not ready yet. However, considering that it has been three months since POE 2 0.2.0, and POE 3.26 is gradually stabilizing, it is time to add new content to the next major league.

Although it is not realistic to add the same amount of content as in the previous league in 0.3.0, adding a brand new class is completely worth it in order to balance the existing class system.

Checkpoint Teleportation

In addition, map size has always been a problem that players have complained about. Maps in POE 2 are much larger than in the original game. Some players have reported that it can take up to an hour to clear a map because the increased map size makes it difficult to navigate and find exits.

Although the map shows the location of rare enemies, if there is no checkpoint nearby, you need to walk back, which is not only tedious but also very time-consuming. As a result, many players will choose to use movement speed boots and skills to more efficiently traverse large maps in the later stages. However, in the early stages of the league, when POE 2 currency is scarce and equipment is mediocre, we can only rely on walking.

Therefore, implementing teleportation between checkpoints in patch 0.3.0 is the key to alleviating some backtracking and navigation issues.

Skill Balance

Balance is an unavoidable topic in almost every patch update, and patch 0.3.0 is no exception.

Lightning Spear is the mainstream build in Dawn of the Hunt league because it not only has excellent single target damage, allowing you to deal with almost any boss, but also has a very fast map clearing speed, which is what players urgently need. That’s why nearly half of the builds in the 0.2.0 league are built around this skill.

Although this does give you a good gaming experience, imagine that when you enter the endgame, your teammates and opponents all use the same build as you, then what’s the point?

Therefore, even if no more skills are added in the 0.3.0 patch, balancing the existing skills is the key to ensuring the endgame experience. This can provide players with more possibilities for build selection and allow them to better utilize all equipment.

Simplify The Campaign

Another pain point in Path of Exile 2 is the repetitiveness and poor pacing of the campaign. Although the campaign’s graphics are exciting and gorgeous, the repetitive plot still affects the player’s gaming experience, especially when repeatedly farming.

In addition, the lack of important rewards or meaningful choices in the campaign, coupled with the focus on efficient clearance experience rather than combat, all exacerbates this feeling. Although the developers are working hard to improve, including adding more random generation and side quests, some players are still worried about having to replay the campaign every season or every new character.

For this reason, the developers must try to simplify the overall campaign process and actively speed up the early game to provide a smoother gaming experience, otherwise they will get bored with it more and more.

Add New Endgame Activities

Whether it is because of time rush or deliberate, POE 2 Dawn of the Hunt did not bring us much endgame content, more of which is still the continuation of the original Heist or the revised Immortal Syndicate. So basically, apart from Azmerian Wisps, there are no new challenges in the endgame.

Therefore, in order to attract more players to return to Wraeclast, it is necessary to add new events and surprises to make the endgame map more distinctive. In addition, the 0.3.0 patch is likely to solve the problem of poor loot quality of Pinnacle Boss by improving the number of loot drops or adding new unique items.

That’s it. Although the time of this patch update is slightly delayed, it is also to ensure that the studio can cram more content into it, so even if the current update does not meet expectations, it will not be unplayable.

In any case, we still have to look forward to the developer's live broadcast a week before the official release for more content. Perhaps this is an important step in changing POE 2. Let us wait and see!
