↖ The New Gems System

The reworking of the gem system will change everything. In POE2, skill gems are on gear while support gems fit into them easily. Gear upgrades become less challenging with standard socket number and color based on item class. Furthermore, these new gem screen and gem cutting feature enable players to make many different builds.

 

↖ Resetting Power Creep

One way in which POE2 can address this issue is by resetting the increasing power levels seen in POE1. With this reset there will be a more balanced game experience where characters gain power at a steadier rate. The approach is more refined gameplay-wise; focusing on strategic character development rather than overwhelming power.

 

↖ WASD Movement

Now you can move through Wraeclast with WASD movement and explore completely different parts of it. This makes POE2 more appealing to a wider audience, making it playable in a multitude of ways for different styles or players. Whether you want to stick with classic controls or try out something new like this, that’s purely up to you.

 

↖ Weapon Sets

POE2 introduces weapon sets that are connected to modified passive trees which open up many diverse builds and strategies for players. Changing your weapon sets with entirely unique skill trees tailored for various combat scenarios will give depth and flexibility to gameplay by allowing customization options not found elsewhere.

 

↖ Crafting & Items

Crafting has been overhauled in POE2. These changes include removing the orbs of fusing, changing chaos orbs and turning item drops into a quality over quantity approach. Make crafting more engaging and rewarding by streamlining with less rerolling needed using alterations.

 

↖ Honorable Mentions

Other notable changes include revamped boss fights, elimination of flask piano, and new character interactions with the game world. Besides that, spirit as a resource, dodge roll mechanics and POE2’s public face shifting from Chris Wilson to Jonathan Rogers and Mark Roberts are worth mentioning.

 

↖ New Game & Campaign

With its own story, campaign and endgame content, POE2 goes beyond being just an update. Through all those changes POE 1 main components have been kept intact hence it still remains a true Path of Exile sequel. New lands will be explored, tough bosses fought against and characters built in this next-gen action RPG.
