Path of Exile 2 experienced backlash post the Dawn of the Hunt update, with negative recent reviews on Steam primarily attributing issues to the update like nerfs, slow leveling, and mismatched combat.
Grinding Gear Games released an infographic showcasing Dawn of the Hunt's numbers, revealing 3.4 million maps cleared, players engaging with the Amazon, and nearly 300,000 deaths in hardcore leagues in the first three weeks.
The stats highlighted that certain ascendancy classes, like Monk's Acolyte of Chayula, are played by less than one percent of players, hinting at potential future buffs for underplayed characters.
Path of Exile 2 is still in early access, facing typical early access challenges, despite players paying full price and not perceiving it as a beta version.
