This week GGG made some huge changes to Path of Exile 2's 0.3.0 (The Third Edict) endgame. Mapping has turned much more into PoE 1's setup, but with a lot of Path 2 retained. What could be coming out in 0.4 if GGG is willing to bring this out mid-league! Hopefully you enjoy the upcoming changes to the beta, and more importantly, we hope you're having a great week. Thanks, so much, for all the time you give to listen to us each and every week. Love ya!

An interview this week spawned a lot of good subjects and conversation. GGG's Eben interviewed Blair who voices both Tujen and Huck in Path of Exile 1 and 2, and the content they touched on could have us talking for hours. No matter where your opinions are of PoE 1 or 2's gameplay/balance, most of us can agree that the story and voice acting are top notch, though, that's only a smart part of our subject matter. We hope you're having a great time playing 0.3.0 Rise of the Abyssal/The Third Edict (or Borderlands 4), or whatever else you may be playing. Thanks, as always, for putting us in your weekly schedule. Love ya!

GGG released patch 0.3.0c this week! So, in episode 310, we discuss our gameplay before and after the patch, and the build ideas and progress we've made so far. New content, especially in a beta, comes with it's list of good and bad additions, and the glorious thing about sharing that with people is that sometimes they agree with you, and sometimes they don't! The person writing this, is of course, always right...but don't tell my co-host that. Thanks for all of your support as we reach episode 310! You're amazing! Thank you!

There have been a lot of changes in 0.3.0 and its subsequent patches, and that means a lot to experience and a lot to unpack! With each expansion improving Path of Exile 2 more and more, it's no wonder our time stamp is what it is! GGG still has a lot they want to add but it'll take a good while to properly experience what they've given us for now. Thanks again for your time each and every week! We love your faces.

GGG has released the long awaited 0.3.0 patch for Path of Exile 2 called The Third Edict and also Rise of the Abyssals (that name took forever to find). There's lots...too much to go through. SO many changes and additions! We get through as much as we can! Path 2 is in an exciting place and we can't wait to see where it goes from here!

In episode 297, thanks to real life, we go back to the basics, to the origins of it all. Secrets of the Atlas and Mercenaries of Trarthus brings so many great changes to the original Path of Exile experience, how could we not bring back the original podcast experience. GGG really seems to be on pace now with both Path of Exile 1 and Path of Exile 2, So no matter which one you're playing, you are in good hands. Enjoy the first league launch in almost a year!
