From the interview with Jonathan and Mark

• Mark says that maps are expected to be 30% more rewarding.
• They talk about a dynamic between “large maps” and “small maps”, saying players should learn to utilize map size for rewards.
• Mark mentions fixing the levers of Augury.
• They don’t plan to increase waystone drop rate.
• Mark wants to add improvements to Expedition crafting system.
• Jonathan confirms that the corpse tower/citadel conspiracy theory is not real. Everyone laughs about this.
• Jonathan says citadels only spawn at a certain base distance from the starting location on the atlas
• The devs says that they are surprised that players were able to make builds with such high damage. Weird thing to be surprised by.
• Jonathan says that they have no plans to nerf player builds without a game economy reset. Mark says player builds may be nerfed if they affect server performance, example if your build reduces the server to 1 fps.
• Jonathan confirms that Early Access will have Leagues, ie Seasons.
• There were rumors that Path of Exile servers were hacked. Jonathan says that an administrator account on the Path of Exile website was found to be compromised through the Steam api. Jonathan says that 66 player accounts are suspected to have been compromised by the hack. There will be more information later, but he says there was no larger data breach.
• Jonathan and Mark say that they do not want to decrease the power of the Item Rarity stat. They confirm that Item Rarity increases the tier of currency items in POE 2, while in POE 1 Item rarity only increased the chance to find rare or unique gear items. This makes Item Rarity a much more powerful stat in POE 2.
• There’s talks about buffs to the warrior class, but it is unclear to me.
• Jonathan mentions the possibility of reducing the number of monsters in the Breach mechanic in the future. They also mentioned improving the spawn rate of Greater Essences.
• Jonathan does not want to remove the 1 death per map limit. He says that 6 portal defense is too forgiving to players.
• They talk about increasing the difficulty of Pinnacle Bosses.
• “Map tab soon”
• Predictive mode will be available in the game settings later. The game currently operates in Lockstep mode.
• Spectre minion is being worked on and introduced soon.
• Search bar being added to the Atlas.
• They don’t want rare monsters to have glow.
• Salvaging flasks for glassblower baubles.
• Alva gold gambling from the hideout.
• POE 2 will not have wow-like UI customization.
