Tower Change In Patch 0.2.0 Of Path Of Exile 2 Has Attracted Widespread Attention From Players!

In Path of Exile 2 Patch 0.2.0, which is expected to be officially released on April 4, many game contents and gameplay have undergone very significant changes. Among them, the changes to the Tower in the game have attracted widespread attention from players, because this is the second major change to the current endgame system similar to juice squeezed by the developer so far.

Previously, Tower in Patch 0.1.0 only added a few explorable options, but changed Lost Towers layout that has been criticized by players for its narrow paths, maze-like layout, poor visibility and obstacles that block projectiles, so players have a good attitude towards it and have always considered it a good improvement.

However, Tower changes in the upcoming 0.2.0 content have not received unanimous opinions from players. Many players appreciate the change that Tower can be generated using some mechanisms, but at the same time, many players feel that this change will make Tower worse.

This guide now sorts out the most discussed positive and negative opinions based on the current player community and social platform player evaluation, so that you can decide whether to continue to explore this sequel that took ten years to polish according to your own game style and needs.

Current Situation Of Tower

Before the 0.2.0 content is released, you can use some Waystones with poor rolling effects on Towers, because the current exploration of Towers will not provide you with a lot of POE2 Currency and loot, nor will it contain very interesting and challenging league activities, and you can only farm some experience points from it and use it for leveling up.

So using some POE 2 Exalted Orbs that will not cause a huge change to your items or those low-tier Waystones that you don’t want will be your best way to consume them.

For some high-level players, multiple Towers will be overlapped and a Precursor Tablet with good rolling effects will be placed on each one, which will allow the effects of multiple towers to overlap in the overlapping influence area.

For example, a Precursor Tablet can add a certain amount of loot to all maps in the area you explore, and another Precursor Tablet can provide a better rarity for these loot, so as to achieve efficient farming.

Although these strategies and techniques can still be used after POE 2 Patch 0.2.0, you have to be reminded that you may choose higher-tier Waystones for them in the subsequent game process because the rewards and loot provided are higher in quantity and quality.

The Situation Of Tower After Patch 0.2.0

After understanding the current exploration situation of Tower, it is time to understand what changes will be made to Tower after Patch 0.2.0 and what attitudes players have towards it.

Negative Comments

First, let’s look at the negative reviews of players on the changes to Tower. In general, players think that its changes will greatly reduce their gaming experience, such as longer exploration time, waste of in-game resources, and even increased pressure.

The most annoying thing for these players is that they spend more time exploring each Lost Towers zone, because the clearing condition is no longer to find one point of interest in the current area, but to find and defeat all rare monsters in the area and any bosses that may exist.

The same clearing condition applies to other Towers, but it is more unbearable in very bad Lost Towers layouts, because finding a point of interest in this maze requires you to traverse 50% of the area on average to complete it, and finding 8 rare monsters and a boss requires you to traverse 90% of the area, which means you need to spend about 80% more time in it, which makes players complain.

In addition, Breach tablets in Lost Towers maps may face waste, because its narrow nature makes Breach encounters not very effective. This makes players feel some unnecessary pressure in exploring this map, and you need to put a well-rolled Breach tablet into it before completing the nearby Lost Towers map, and risk wasting resources.

Or waiting until the Lost Towers map is cleared before choosing Breach tablets, players risk missing out on the affixes from tablets on the maps needed to reach Lost Towers, which is a very difficult choice because of wasting lots of POE 2 Currency.

More importantly, when running Lost Towers maps, players have no idea how likely they are to succeed in the boss encounters they need to complete, and whether the defense and damage capabilities of their builds are enough to survive the encounters successfully.

But there are two strategies and tips for these players that can alleviate this worry: You can try to fight the bosses, because here if you are defeated by them, the boss will disappear and wait for your next challenge, just like you would if you were killed by a boss in any non-Tower map.

Alternatively, you can unlock Towers maps using some Waystones with inferior affixes, then use better Waystones in them, which will make your boss encounters more manageable, making running those maps more efficient.

Positive Comments

Before POE 2 Patch 0.2.0, the loot you get from completing a tower in the endgame was very small, as it lacked depth.

However, after that, all tower maps except Lost Towers layout will become normal maps that provide you with more loot, but if you use the Precursor Tablet after completing it, you will get more extra rewards, such as Divine Orbs POE 2.

This may be the tower map that POE 2 players have always wanted to run. On top of that, you will also encounter more Ritual events, Breach events, and Delirium mirrors in it, which means that your exploration fun and farming efficiency will be greatly improved.

This makes players’ exploration of towers just a time investment a thing of the past. In the future game process, you will establish more profitable farming in it, and the playability of towers will gradually increase.

In summary, although players will have more negative comments about the changes to Towers, the increased advantages of loot may reduce players’ complaints in subsequent exploration. We can only look forward to GGG hearing players’ opinions and making corresponding changes before officially releasing Patch 0.2.0 to meet most players’ requirements. I wish you a happy game!
