Tis the season for reflection, appreciation, and rage (irl). With Path 2 a bit into its release, the timing of Path of Exile 1's private league templates worked great! Even though the biggest changes to loot in PoE's history happened in Path 2 at the same time as the addition to free PLs in Path 1, we were given the opportunity to compare and appreciate the different pros and cons of each game with a fresh look. We hope you enjoyed this week's episode (we sure did), and thanks, as always, for your listens each week! Love ya!

The G patch came! This week, GGG modified their loot experience to such an extent that Justin's going to restart the campaign as a Chronomancer! Just kidding on the last part, but with both the free private leagues for Path of Exile 1 and a revamped loot experience for PoE 2, we had too much to talk about! We hope you're enjoying either Path of Exile experience and we thank you, as always, for your time and support. You rock!

It's episode 290! That's not a special number or anything but we're excited to hang out with you again! This week we touch on some fresh Last Epoch comparisons and attempt to stay away from Path of Exile 2 campaign/character progress comments. PoE 1's 3.26 June release has been referenced by GGG in regards to private league templates being released this week, so we're intrigued to the timing of releases as well.

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!
