Path of Exile 2 0.1 launched late 2024 and was a huge smash. While some lamented the increase difficulty and differences from POE1, many including myself embraced the changes and loved the potential and extreme level of polish present in the game. While patch 0.2 introduced the Huntress and some nice improvements, Patch 0.3: The Third Edict is a much more substantial update with new content and enhancements.
