Trigger gem energy gain was not in the right place and it was far too easy to use ailments to trigger spells. One problem with the previous system is that if we balanced it to make triggering happen in boss fights then the triggering would happen far too often during clearing. In order to address this we are now making "Monster Power" part of the calculation for energy gain. This means that it's far easier to trigger skills from Unique Monsters than it is from normal monsters, but you also hit many more normal monsters when fighting. Another issue was using low level skills with unconditional ailment applications such as Flame Wall to ignite enemies for triggering. In order to make the source of the ignite matter we are making the energy gain be dependent on the strength of the ignite. We have also rebalanced all energy gain across the board.

Your execution is set for December 6, will you fight for your life or let the Executioner take you?

Corruption has returned to Wraeclast, the Count of Ogham, tempted by promises of power, intends to harness it once more. Before you begin on your path to cleanse it once more as a Monk, Ranger, Warrior, Mercenary, Witch or Sorceress, we urge you to peruse this launch guide and let it aid you.

Path of Exile 2’s Early Access will go live on December 6th, at 11 am PST. For a helpful guide to see where it goes live across the world, see our global release map here:

Pre-download is now available on the following platforms:

• Standalone PC client - log in to pathofexile2.com and download at https://pathofexile2.com/download.
  
• Steam - you should be able to pre-download from your Steam Library now.
  
• Epic Game Store - you should be able to pre-download from your Epic Game Store Library now.
  
• Xbox and PlayStation 5 are available now through their respective shops.

We previously mentioned[www.pathofexile.com] that a torrent would be available for pre-download. This was with the intention that the download would still be available if our patching servers had issues from the potentially immense load. We've instead decided to let our patching servers bear the full brunt of the downloads, as it would be better to catch any issues caused by this now so that we can make our servers more resilient for launch.

Wraeclast is a horrific land, filled with your worst nightmares, and unthinkable danger. But at least you can find a Community Streamer to keep you company during your adventure. Starting December 6th PST, we’ll be running two weeks of Twitch Drops. By watching your favourite streamers experience Path of Exile 2 for the very first time you’ll be able to earn Energising Bolt Flask Effect, Halo of the Righteous Helmet Attachment and Temporal Lord’s Portal Effect! Don't forget to link your Twitch account!

To further support our community streamers, we’ll also be offering the Chimera Pet for purchasing or gifting 2 Twitch subscriptions of any tier. Click here to download stream assets for this promotion.[web.poecdn.com]

For more information you can check out this[www.pathofexile.com] news post.

We've added a forum section on the Path of Exile website specifically for Path of Exile 2 here[pathofexile.com]. If you encounter a bug, have feedback, want to find or post a build guide, or just want to discuss Early Access, there's a dedicated space available. We'll also be communicating about issues live, keep an eye on our forums[www.pathofexile.com] and X page[x.com].

We greatly appreciate community engagement and feedback and we'd love to hear what you think about Early Access! If you encounter an issue and are waiting to hear back from our Support team, please be assured they'll get back to you as soon as possible. This is our biggest release ever, resulting in Support sending ~60,000 emails since Early Access Supporter Packs became available, and they're currently receiving about 50 new emails every 20 minutes. They're doing their best to get on top of things, but in the meantime, thank you for your patience!

Since the announcement of Path of Exile 2 at Exilecon 2019 to launch, Path of Exile 2 has undergone countless changes in an effort to make the best possible Action RPG. It has been a long road to finally reach the launch of Early Access for Path of Exile 2, and we wouldn't be here without the support of our players.

As we all prepare to step onto the shores of Wraeclast, we know there will also be many new Exiles joining us. We're so excited to share the experience with you all, and can't wait to see the community overcome challenging bosses, make powerful or wacky builds, and do things we never might have expected.

From everyone at Grinding Gear Games - thank you!

We’re beyond excited to finally tell you everything about Path of Exile 2 in Early Access! In this news post we’ve put together links to the announcements made during the GGG Live broadcast on November 21st.

[pathofexile2.com]

With Path of Exile 2 launching in Early Access in just two weeks, we’re sure you have a lot of burning questions about what to expect. We’ll be answering some of them in this news post. The FAQ will be updated with more answers up until the launch day.

Path of Exile 2 will launch in Early Access at 11am December 6th PST in your local time on all supported platforms, including a standalone PC client, Steam and Epic Games Store clients as well as Xbox Series and PlayStation 5.

Unfortunately Path of Exile 2 will not be available on MacOS at the start of Early Access, but we’re keen to add support for this platform as soon as possible.

Purchasing one of new Early Access Supporter Packs[www.pathofexile.com] with a key grants you access.

As we have also announced earlier, if you've purchased a top-tier supporter pack in the past or have spent $480 USD or more in lifetime purchases in Path of Exile on a single platform, you'll automatically have access to Path of Exile 2. In this case you'll receive an email (if we have one for you) and PM on the website that lets you know that your account has had access granted. We will begin inviting players in the next two weeks. Please note that the threshold is the same for all countries and does not take regional prices into account.

You can check your past purchases by visiting Your Account on the website and selecting, "Account transactions."

Your valid purchases will include any purchase that was made with dollars instead of points. Points keys that were redeemed on your account will not contribute to this total.

A lot of people have been emailing customer support to ask if they meet the threshold. We'd prefer if you could wait until the Early Access begins and see if you're immediately invited, and then contact support if you didn't get an invite but you believe your lifetime support exceeds $480 USD.

No, the threshold is based on purchases made on one platform.

You can buy Early Access Supporter Packs on Xbox now. You can claim all microtransactions in Path of Exile 1 and you will also get access to downloading Path of Exile 2. Please note that you will not be able to launch and play that client until the game releases in Early Access on December 6th.

The Twilight Order Foil Reliquary Submission is only available for purchase in the in-game store after you have purchased the Liberator of Wraeclast Supporter Pack.

Supporter Packs for Sony realms (PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5) will become available on December 6th PST when Path of Exile 2 launches in Early Access.

Upon purchasing your first supporter pack[www.pathofexile.com] that includes an Early Access key, that key will be automatically redeemed on the account the purchase was made. You don’t have to do anything else, just download the game client when it’s available and login on launch day!

If you're unsure about your status, or want to view any of your keys, this information is available under my-account/early-access[www.pathofexile.com].

If you have purchased a key and/or have access granted for one PC game client (Stand-alone, Steam, or Epic), but wish to play on another game client, you will be able to do so by claiming a key to unlock access to that client. These are available at my-account/early-access[www.pathofexile.com] and can be redeemed on the relevant platform's store. Please note these keys only unlock the client in your library, they do not on their own provide early access to your account.

As an example, if you purchase a Supporter Pack through the Path of Exile website, you will be able to claim a key to unlock the client in your Steam Library.

A few days prior to the Early Access launch. We’ll announce the details in the news, so you won’t miss it!

Even in Early Access, Path of Exile 2 is a big game. It includes a significant campaign of Three Acts as well as a rich endgame. At the start of Early Access there will be 50 bosses, and around 400 monster types. We’ll be adding content to roughly double the size of the game during Early Access and into Release.


As long as needed, we expect at least 6 months.

Yes, you can play Path of Exile 2 in couch co-op mode on a single account right from the start. The second player will be able to create a character on that account.

No, there will not be a wipe. We will do new leagues but none of your characters will be wiped, they will just go to a league called Early Access (so they will never be in Standard). In some cases characters in old leagues might be somewhat broken by balance changes though. After launch the "Early Access" characters will still exist.

If you already have an existing account, our new account system allows you to play Path of Exile 2 using your Path of Exile 1 account. If you’re a new player, you would need to create a new account[http//create+a+new+account]. Welcome, Exile!

Yes, but not all microtransactions are available to use yet. Many recent MTXs and all stash tabs will be initially available, but due to a massive amount of microtransactions in Path of Exile 1, we’re still in the process of adding them all to Path of Exile 2, so many of them will be marked as ‘unavailable’ in your cosmetics tab. During Early Access we will be working through the backlog and making them all available.

Stash tab purchases made in Path of Exile 1 will be available in Path of Exile 2, where relevant. For example, a special league-related stash tab might not be available in Path of Exile 2 as that content does not exist there.

We will be updating applicable stash tabs in Path of Exile 2, and stash tabs like the currency stash tab will hold different items to what it holds in Path of Exile 1.

Stash tabs become remove-only when logged into a different platform where you don't own them.

Yes, the cosmetics shop will be available in Early Access with a selection of microtransactions from Path of Exile 1. At this moment we’re not planning to introduce new microtransactions for Path of Exile 2 but we will be adding many more later.

There's no NDA for Early Access. You're welcome to show the content to whoever you like, but please bear in mind that this is content that we're still working on.

Yes, both Path of Exile 2 Unique Item Design and Divination Card Design will be available for purchase in very limited quantities at a later date.

Tune into GGG Live on November 21st PST to finally find out everything about Path of Exile 2 in Early Access! By watching the livestream you will also be able to earn Hands of Xesht Back Attachment. By the way, this amazingly creepy Back Attachment will work in Path of Exile right upon receiving and in Path of Exile 2 when it launches in Early Access on December 6th PST.


Simply link your Path of Exile account to Twitch (see below) and tune into GGG Live at http://www.twitch.tv/pathofexile, or any channel in the Path of Exile 2 Directory for 90 minutes on Thursday November 21st (PST). Drops will be enabled from 12PM PST until 9PM PST.

You will get the Hands of Xesht Back Attachment after 90 minutes of accumulated watch time on any channel streaming Path of Exile 2 during the event. This means that the drop is guaranteed for everyone who has watched any Path of Exile 2 stream for this amount of time. This promotion is available for all accounts.

After you've accumulated enough watch time to earn your Hands of Xesht Back Attachment, you must redeem them from your Twitch Inventory[www.twitch.tv] before the promotional period ends. Then they will be available in your microtransactions list in Path of Exile and Path of Exile 2 (when it launches in Early Access on December 6th).
