Everyone's watching where PoE 2 is headed, and Update 0.5 feels like one of those patches that'll either lock people in or quietly bleed them out. I'm not asking for miracles—just reasons to log in that aren't the same old loop of selling rares, hoarding PoE 2 Currency, and hoping the next map drops something spicy. Once your build is stable and the big bosses are on farm, you notice it fast: the endgame needs something that pushes back, not just more of the same.
Maps are fine, but they blur together. What would change everything is a mode that never really "ends" in the normal sense. An endless tower, a boss rush, even rotating challenge floors with modifiers you can't dodge by rerolling. Let difficulty scale hard, then track it: best floor reached, fastest boss chain, cleanest run. Give us leaderboards, but keep them simple—no weird gimmicks, just proof. When you've tuned a build for weeks, you want a place to see it snap or shine, not another lap around identical layouts.
People can argue balance all day, but nothing kills the mood like your game stuttering mid-fight. On console it's obvious, and on PC it still happens once the screen fills up—minions, ground effects, projectiles, the whole fireworks show. Half the time you die and you genuinely didn't see the hit. That's not "hardcore", it's messy. A pass on visual clutter would help, plus better prioritising of enemy telegraphs. And co-op needs to stop being a crash lottery in high-density encounters. If two players can't trust a juiced fight to stay stable, they'll just split up.
The campaign's great the first run. After that, you're just trying to get back to the part of the game where your build exists. An alternate leveling route—arena waves, a combat gauntlet, short objective rooms—would let alts breathe. It'd also match what people actually do: test skills, fix gear, repeat. Pacing matters too. Early combat is chunky and readable, then endgame turns into pure screen wipe until a random one-shot appears. Lower trash density, add more elite packs with clear attacks, and throw in a bit of one-shot protection so deaths feel earned.
Playing with friends should feel shared. Right now it often feels like you're visiting someone else's world, with the host doing the "real" interactions and everyone else just tagging along. Atlas or equivalent progression should sync, key mechanics should be usable by the party, and rewards need to land fairly without awkward workarounds. If 0.5 nails even part of that—plus an endgame mode with real teeth—people will grind for the right reasons again, and spending time earning path of exile 2 currency won't feel like the only long-term goal in the room.
