The big update buffed up the end-game. Oriath’s Fall instead focuses following through on story beats put up at the first four actions and doubling it in size. The new expansion adds Act 5, set in areas, and Acts 6-10, which take players back throughout the places they seen with supervisors, tales, and fresh paths in Acts 1-4.
Grinding Gear Games is calling Acts 6-10″Part 2,” promising they’ll feel plenty different from your first time through. Some areas will be heavily changed than others. Rogers ran by PoE currency a young act through a morass, explaining how the land was corrupted by a bossloaded up exactly what that area looked like in Part 2.
With the boss dead it had reverted into a verdant field, with enemies that were not-so-zombieish that were new to fight through.Wilson showed me a video of the PoE trade currency struggle and explained that no one on the development staff had managed to conquer it yet with regular characters (though it’s possible). In their own, either The The Shaper is a boss that just the Path of Exile players can best. Struggling both at exactly the exact same time? Fantastic luck.
“It’s created for the top, top, top players who don’t have jobs and grind all day and everybody else gets to appreciate it via Twitch,” Wilson laughs.
