May 17, 2026
#pathofexile #poe #poe2
GGG finally broke their silence on POE2’s 0.5.0 with… just an ‘info soon’ comment. But the big news today is patches in both games – a trade improvement to both, and a LOT more in POE1.
POE1 patch notes https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3928888 (first line applies to POE2 as well)
0:00 Intro
0:17 New staff appointment at GGG – Kelly, the ‘new Bex’?
0:59 Why this means changes to teaser seasons are likely
1:31 ‘Reveal Soon’ for POE2. Nothing really new here.
1:51 The change made in both games, trade improvements/bugfix (the ‘anti-landmine’ warning)
4:17 POE1 only changes – Mirage league. Iterations this late are an EXCELLENT sign this is going core.
7:27 Improvements section – BOSSES. Sirus nerfed in the Feared
9:15 Improvements section – BOSSES. Infinite Hunger nerfed (this is a GREAT change)
9:37 Other things in the Improvements section (all minor)
10:38 Bugfixes section (some big, some small)
16:07 Final thoughts
I also have a major channel announcement that’s not directly Path of Exile related, but about a major side project I’m working on. It’s my side project: Archangels of Phobos, a litRPG science fantasy web serial. Youtube channel: @ArchangelsofPhobos Website www.archangelsofphobos.com – not much content yet, that should change soon.
