Is Path of Exile 2 ready for 1.0? In this Brothers in Exile podcast, we discuss the current state of POE2 Early Access, including endgame progression, pinnacle bosses, crafting, missing classes, the campaign, and the new player experience. We debate what needs to change before Path of Exile 2 1.0 and whether GGG should delay the full release.

Forbidden Rites has been out for a while now, so what do we actually think of Path of Exile 2's latest league? In this episode of Brothers in Exile, Tri and CastOnComet break down Forbidden Rites, the current state of PoE2, what the league is getting right (and wrong), and what it could mean for the road toward 1.0.

Is Forbidden Rites a sign that PoE2 is heading in the right direction? Or are there still some major problems GGG needs to solve? We have some thoughts...

Let us know what YOU think!

As we go insane waiting for Path of Exile 2 patch 0.5.5, it's time to dive into some big meta questions regarding PoE2, such as: why do players quit the game so quickly and why do creators make the content they do? Oh, we also speculate on what's coming in 0.5.5 and the giant patch 1.0.
