Day 1 of Path of Exile 2, 0.2.0 Grip it & Rip It!

Day 1 of Path of Exile 2, 0.2.0 Grip it & Rip It!

Hazaa! Our first balance patch of Path of Exile 2's Early Access! We played as much as we could today (launch day) before recording and, no joke, could have easily doubled the length of the episode. GGG's 0.2.0 patch is out and it's loaded with changes to fuel us for months! We hope you're enjoying Dawn of the Hunt! Thanks, as always for your listens each week. You all rock!
