What an excellent quote from a dev back in 2015:

If someone asked me what Path of Exile’s greatest strength was, I’d answer with just one word: depth. The breadth of choice and volume of interesting interactions between skills, supports, passives and items are what differentiates Path of Exile from other games, and what keeps players coming back over and over again. Path of Exile’s greatest weakness, on the other hand? Complexity.>

Even now, I completely agree. They know it’s the reason their game is great and the reason it is niche.

Very curious to see what others think about this.

Someone in the comments pointed out we’ll also go to Oriath for one reason or another as we saw Kitava’s overgrown skull in the initial PoE 2 trailer. Perhaps we’ll stop by the island on our way to Ngamakanui!

Fearless self-promotion here, but I made “reactions” with a broader context and argument in mind for each.

Hey, many thanks! I’m enjoying the massive engagement and positivity around them. It’s a welcome refreshment.

I’m curious about that, too. A quick search shows it has never been referenced in PoE. I’m guessing it’s an Egyptian-themed desert area with Vaal ruins inside, as the exile references Queen Atziri.

We’ll see soon enough :)

Another wicked teaser. Gameplay systems can only be improved so much in PoE2, but sound, graphics, and animations? A ton over PoE1. And shockingly…these teasers are smashing the latest competition.

Exilecon cannot arrive soon enough!
