Path of Exile 2: User Experience Improvements in Return of the Ancients

Hi, I'm Jonathan Rogers,

Game Director on Path of Exile 2. We've added a ton of new quality of life

features in Return of the Ancients. Here's a couple you'll

find useful in the end-game. The Atlas now has a search box

that updates live as you type. If you have a specific map

you'd like to run, just key in the name of it

and you'll be able to locate it instantly. Hitting enter will move you

from map to map, allowing you to easily move between them. This works on more than just map names. You can find biomes, powerful bosses,

or even specific mods. Really anything about a map

you can think of. And this can come in handy

if you get specific tablets that you want

to use with specific mechanics. So for example, if you get a tablet

that adds extra Essence encounters, you might want to run it with a map

that boosts Essences. By typing essence in the search box, you can find maps

that will affect them, like this map, which causes Essence packs

to have two rares in them. Now that we have trade market search

built into the game client, we've also added the ability to price

check items you find more easily. Shift alt clicking

an item will now instantly search for it on the trade market,

showing you the current prices. For rare items,

it's handy to exclude some mods, so we've added the ability to enable

and disable each modifier individually, letting you see exactly how each one

affects the item’s price. And that's not all. The Fragment Stash Tab

is finally coming to Path of Exile 2. And with it comes

some serious tab-ception. This tab is a dedicated storage

for various boss fragments. There's also a tab

for all your Precursor Tablets, with each tablet type

receiving six tabs of storage. Finally, the storage for your Djinn Baryas and Inscribed Ultimatums,

both of which also get six tabs each. Speaking of changes to stash tabs

with the Runes of Aldur league, there's a ton more Runes

that have been added to the game. In order to fit them,

we’ve modified the Socketables Stash Tab. There are now five substashes

for Runes, Kalguuran Runes, Soul Cores Idols,

and Ancient Augments, giving you much more space

for all those runes. All these features and much more are available in

Return of the Ancients, launching May 29th. Thanks for watching and see you at launch.
