In Path of Exile 2, the frustration with the new season “Dawn of the Hunt” is high. Players do not understand exactly in which direction the ARPG is developing and instead point to Last Epoch, which does one thing much better.
What do players demand? After the rocky start of the first season of Path of Exile 2, players no longer understand in which direction the developers want to go with the ARPG. On Reddit, players’ frustration is unleashed, wanting the developers to explain to them where the journey is headed.
The Reddit user Pluristan summarizes the mood and demands: “GGG [developers of PoE2], show us how you play PoE 2 […] so we finally know what you really want and what to expect from us.”
More specifically, players demand a developer livestream in which they show the fans how to play the ARPG properly and where the gameplay vision behind it is explained. A competitor of Path of Exile 2 is taking a better approach here.

The Look at the Competition
What is the competition doing? The starting point of the new season “Dawn of the Hunt” of Path of Exile 2 has caused a lot of trouble for ARPG fans in the past. The release date of the new season of Path of Exile 2 almost collided with that of Last Epoch, which was problematic for players wanting to switch between the two games. They would have had to choose between the two ARPGs.
In the end, the developers of Last Epoch admitted defeat and postponed their release. After the rocky start of “Dawn of the Hunt,” players’ eyes are now drifting back to Last Epoch. While players finally want clarity from Path of Exile 2, developer Mike Weicker regularly streams on Twitch on Fridays.
There, he not only plays his ARPG, but also answers fans’ questions in the chat and explains the mechanics, visions, and backgrounds of Last Epoch. This is also appreciated by genre fans, who want the developers of Path of Exile 2 to take a page out of this book.
While the developers have since commented on some issues – there has not yet been a livestream with a clear outlook.
