According to Path of Exile 2 update 0.2.0 content shared by Grinding Gear Games, we can find that there are many new changes in patch 0.2.0, especially the redesign of Lost Towers. But contrary to fans' demands, the developer has always insisted on using it as the main end-game mechanism of POE 2.

Lost Towers Causes Fans' Dissatisfaction

To this day, there are still a large number of fans who believe that one of the reasons for the flawed end of POE 2 is Lost Towers. This tower has many shortcomings, resulting in a very poor gaming experience for players. In particular, the map layout of this tower is very unreasonable, which hinders vision and movement. Players need to spend a lot of time to advance, and the ending they get is very uncomfortable.

Many players said that this tower is a meaningless existence, not only does it require a lot of effort, but the results are not proportional. There is no other playable space except for the repeated layout, so it is better to replace it with a more advanced map. Do players spend a lot of Path Of Exile 2 Currency to get more advanced weapons during the struggle, just to waste time and energy on such a boring layout map?

But the developer said that it is already working on updating it. In the updated game, in order to meet the player's requirements and map consistency, all content can be generated on Tower maps. However, there is a strict premise that players must be familiar with the game cycle before they can activate Towers. The developer believes that this will bring an unprecedented experience to everyone.

Towers And Tablets

In addition to the above-mentioned updates, GGG also stated that in order to bring some new changes to the end-game map drawing, a random generation Tower mechanism will be introduced for POE 2 Atlas. In addition, in order to encourage the strategic use of resources and maximize their effectiveness, this patch update also allows Towers to obtain content from Towers used by tablets within a radius.

Fans Hope That POE 2 Will Have A Better Ending

Although the new content shared by GGG has caused a lot of different voices online, the main point of contention is that they don't want the game to be centered on Lost Towers, but at present, players are still upset with it. Is the result of their interaction with the tower just to run a poorly laid out map? This is really bad!

Some fans have suggested that letting the tower unlock all the surrounding map points and accept multiple tablets may be a good way to solve the problem! In this way, the game can be less boring and they can also be highly relevant to the end.

Although patch 0.2.0 may not be officially updated until late March, it has caused a lot of controversy among players after the update content was released. Developers really need to think carefully. Is it really necessary to have updates that are not supported by players?
