Plans for Patch 0.2.0H

We’re currently planning the 0.2.0h update for Path of Exile 2 which contains several quality of life features and will address certain aspects of Endgame content. We’re planning to release this patch by the end of next week.

The main focus of the patch is to improve certain aspects of the Endgame. This includes the minimum experience of Breaches where far too few monsters spawn and the Breach doesn't last long enough. We will also reduce the number of small Breach splinter stacks dropping and instead have fewer, larger stacks dropping. We'll also be adding improvements to the visibility of Rogue Exiles, and will improve the behaviour of Azmerian Wisps when you activate two at once.

Another big focus is to add in some Quality of Life features. One example is that we'll be adding some UI Icons for Strongboxes and Essences that will let you quickly use currency from your inventory without needing to open it. This feature will also work with Vaal Orbs for Essences.

Here's a preview:

We've got a few other Quality of Life changes planned, which we'll talk about more next week.

A big request that we've had is to make Unidentified Item Tiers filterable. This change will be coming in 0.2.0h so you'll be able to filter by and change how your Unidentified Tier 1-5 Magic and Rare items look when the patch is released.

We also plan to add two new Stash Tabs: the Ritual Tab and Socketable Tab. The Ritual Tab holds your Omens and Audiences with the King, while the Socketable Tab will hold your Runes, Talismans and Soul Cores. You'll be able to upgrade your Runes from within the Socketable Tab.

Lastly, we plan to enable Private Leagues when 0.2.0h releases using the Path of Exile 1 website for now. There will be no extra mods available for these Private Leagues but we'll be expanding the functionality of them soon. We wanted to get the ability to create Private Leagues released sooner rather than later for those that want to start over in a fresh economy by themselves or with their friends.

We'll have more information on what's to come early next week, keep an eye on the news!

Summary

GGG's upcoming plans for Patch 0.2.0H, which brings endgame improvements and new quality of life features to Path of Exile 2. This includes breach changes, a new UI for Strongboxes and Essences, and new stash tabs to store your junk. They expect the patch to be released by the end of next week.
