With Patch 0.2.0f deployed, we're already planning the next wave of improvements we want to be making.Our current plan is to try to get 0.2.0g ready as soon as we can. We are of course remaining flexible around this because of the Easter Holidays and ANZAC Day (A New Zealand public holiday) next week.The main focus of 0.2.0g will be to address two highly sought after improvements as well as a flurry of other minor to moderate changes.The first improvement is around Loot drops. The three main changes you can expect around this is to first mitigate unlucky streaks from bosses in the campaign by raising the floor of the quality of their drops. The second is to increase the quality of drops from bosses overall, and the third is to improve the drops from monsters possessed by Azmerian Wisps.The second improvement is around Corrupted Nexuses. They can be difficult and time consuming to find and often players progress in waystone tiers much faster than t...

Xbox Game Share
We recently discovered that a group of bots were making use of the Xbox game share feature to obtain access to the Path of Exile 2 client. It was not our intention that you could play Path of Exile 2 on a separate Xbox account due to someone else on that same Xbox purchasing it.As part of the 0.2.0f patch deployed today we made a change that requires your account to have purchased early access in order to use the Path of Exile 2 Xbox client.After this patch was deployed, an issue came up where some legitimate Xbox players who had been provided a key to unlock Path of Exile 2 lost access to the game. We've fixed this issue, and the affected accounts should be able to login once again. Read moreXbox Game Share

In our update post yesterday we said we would be checking to see if there were any outliers in the area clear times during the campaign. Now that we have done the first pass of our assessment, we can talk about some of the changes that we are making to improve things.Our focus this time is on Act 3 areas since this act has a somewhat overall longer completion time.
