At the beginning of the development of the role-playing game, it has always been based on the three archetypes of Warrior, Rogue, and Wizard. In Path Of Exile 2, Warrior character combines the essence of the three archetypes. This is the largest, most exciting and powerful class in POE2.
As a melee expert, Warrior defeats the enemy with brute force and raw power when fighting with the enemy. But winning is not as simple as swinging an axe, so in POE 2 Early Access version, Warrior’s Best Build is the Best Skills, Ascendancy and Items as follows.
Best Warrior BuildThe build that has received unanimous praise in POE 2 Early Access is Bone Crusher build, because it can still be used in the endgame, and even in some battles, this build can defeat mid- and high-level enemies in one fell swoop.
However, as the developers are still constantly refining the game content of POE 2, every major update may have some impact on this build, such as weakening or improving.
According to the current feedback from players, Bone Crusher is still the strongest at present, but there is no guarantee that it will always be so.
Best AscendancyIn fact, there is a clue in the name of Warrior that can guide us to find that the best Ascendancy for this class is Smith of Kitava.
But one thing to be clear is that after we choose a certain Ascendancy, we cannot change it, so please think carefully before choosing.
Best Passive SkillsAfter we determine Ascendancy, the next step is to consider our key Passive Skills.
Take Smith of Kitava for example, we need to select a Passive Skill from the skill tree as shown in the image below.
Coal Stoker Unnatural Resilience Forged in Flame Smith’s Masterwork Tantalum Alloy Motlon Symbol Support Straps Kitavan Engraving Leather Bindings Flowing MetalWhen choosing passive skills here, we need to note that Warrior is a close attack on the enemy, so our goal is not only to increase Warrior’s damage output but also defense.

Best Skills And Support GemsWhen fighting against the enemy, most of the attack damage caused to the enemy comes from the selection of main skills and support skills. Therefore, the selection of main skills and support skills is crucial.
Below, the best Main Skills for this build, and the best Support Gems/Skills to go with it.
Mace Strike
Support Gems: Concentrated Effect, Close Combat, Soul ThiefInfernal Cry
Support Gems: Premeditation, Tireless, Enraged Warcry, Raging CryBoneshatter
Support Gems: Impact Shockwave, Magnified Effect, Reach, DefyLeap Slam
Support Gems: Brink, Rage, Overpower, Martial TempoHerald of Ash

Support Gems: Fist of War, Heavy Swing, Rageforged, Lacerate, See RedSeismic Cry
Support Gems: Dazing Cry, InspirationEarthshatter
Support Gems: Upheaval, Spinter, Aftershock, Reverberate, Font of RageShield Charge
Support Gems: IngenuityAfter you complete the build and want to make it your own, you can choose or add other Support Gems as you like. It should be noted that because of the current POE 2 gem system, players may not find exactly the same skill gems at the same stage, so your customization is very high.
Best ItemsIn POE 2, weapons and armor are equally important in completing your build. This is because each item has a buff effect, which has an important bonus in making a build more powerful.
And the version of the item we find is closely related to our level. Sometimes, when we find one of the following items, we may find that its level is not enough to defeat the enemy.
However, in the later stages, we can replace the previous items with more powerful items, which may require more time and effort to farm high-level items.
If we can only farm low-rarity items, we can use $1 to upgrade them to cope with the corresponding combat situation.
Sacred Maul: A weapon that provides higher physical damage, attack speed and melee skill level gains. Vaal Tower Shield: An offhand that provides higher physical damage, block chance, and defense ability gains. Massive Greathammer: An offhand that provides higher physical damage, attack speed and melee skill level gains. Massive Greathammer (2): An offhand that provides higher physical damage, attack speed and melee skill level gains. Thrillsteel: A helmet that enhances the power of heavy attacks. Ornate Plate: An armor that provides a higher physical damage gain. Vaal Mitts: A glove that provides us with higher physical damage, attack speed and lightning damage gains. Vaal Greaves: A Boots that provides higher physical damage, movement speed and resistance gains. Inferno clasp: A Belt that provides higher fire resistance gains. Breach Ring: A Ring that provides health and resistance gains. Breach Ring (2): A Ring that provides health and resistance gains. Amber Amulet: An Amulet that provides higher strength, health and melee skill gains. Experimenter’s Thawing Charm of the Chemist: An amulet that increases freeze resistance.The above are some suggestions for the best Warrior’s build in POE 2 Dawn of the Hunt and look forward to more possibilities in the future.
Since Path of Exile 2 has solved a series of issues with the new season Dawn of the Hunt, new race events will be launched.
This race event is free and open to players on PC and console platforms, and will also give some rewards to those who actively improve themselves and challenge others.
The main purpose is to let players enjoy the fun of the game and compete with others to see if they are the best players.
TimeThis time is divided into three games, each one week apart, and all players participate in the event at the same time, which means that if players in other time zones want to participate in the event, they need to adjust their time to ensure that they don’t miss it.
The specific times of the three races are as follows:
Race 1: May 25, 2025 1:00 PM (PDT) Race 2: Jun 01, 2025 1:00 PM (PDT) Race 3: Jun 08, 2025 1:00 PM (PDT) Race RulesAll players can try it. Players will create characters and register according to the link released by POE 2. After creating the character, they cannot drive the character until the start of the race.
Participants compete to be the first to defeat Doryani in Act 3.. This is a standard Solo Self-Found, so players need to be prepared, and if they die, they will be penalized for one minute, during which you will not be able to move.
And this competition has a ranking mechanism. At that time, Path of Exile 2 will release a ranking link, which will facilitate players to check their respective rankings during the game, or to see who took the shortest time after the game.
Reward MechanismCurrently, there are seven classes in POE 2, including the newly added Huntress. The highest ranking person in each class will receive Demigod’s Virtue Unique, which means that there will be 7 chances to get this reward in one game.
There will be 3 games in total, so there are 21 chances in total. If you want to have a chance to win the prize, it is best to be careful not to die.
And there is no limit on the number of times a player can participate in the game. That’s mean that players have a chance to get multiple Demigod’s Virtues.
At the same time, the player who completes the race the fastest in each class in the three games will receive any table mat printed with POE 2 game content; and the fastest player among all players in the three games will receive a Divination Card.
With the increase in future competition activities, POE 2 will cycle all Demigod’s items in a loop. In the end, it will be combined into an armor set, including a weapon, so if you are very good, you may be able to collect the entire set of armor.
The competition will be broadcast live on the video platform, and all participants can choose whether to broadcast live by themselves.
At the same time, the items won by players can be traded, which means that even if you don’t win the game, you can use $1 to get prizes.
The main purpose of Path of Exile 2 launching this event may be to keep players enthusiastic about the game, test and optimize new game mechanisms that may be launched in the future, and the launch of new activities can effectively stimulate players’ discussion about the game.
In the recent release of Diablo 4 Season 8, the most discussed point among players, in addition to the changes to the boss, is the changes to Battle Pass.
D4 has been thinking about Battle Pass for a long time. This S8 finally solved the problem of the difficulty in obtaining Battle Pass rewards by introducing new Reliquary System to replace the previous Battle Pass, but new Reliquary System itself also has some problems, which makes players feel dissatisfied.
In April, the game content of both Path of Exile 2 and Last Epoch was significantly updated. However, since Diablo 4 decided to postpone the release of the second expansion to 2026, the 2025 roadmap for Diablo 4 looks a bit boring, with only one joint news in the second half of the year.
So combined with the above reasons, this time, Battle Pass was replaced with new Reliquary System, caused a lot of discussion in the player community.
More ChoicesThe most obvious difference compared to Battle Pass is that new Reliquary System provides players with more paid options. New Reliquary System no longer provides a single pass that includes free and paid appearances and premium props, but is more finely divided.
There is a free route and three paid routes for players to choose from. Players can choose one or more of the three appearance props according to their needs and use Platinum to obtain prop and also can get some $1.
The price of each appearance prop is different. Take S8 as an example:
Belial’s Return - Free Weapons - 200 Platinum Beasts - 500 Platinum Armor - 800 PlatinumPreviously, all paid appearance props only required the get of a Battle Pass, and the price of a Battle Pass was 1000 Platinum. Players can still use 1000 Platinum to get three reliquaries. But for players who only want one or two, it may be more cost-effective to get them separately.
It should be noted that once you get a reliquary, you can no longer get all reliquaries on 1000 Platinum. So players need to consider whether they want those reliquaries carefully to ensure that they don’t spend more Platinum.
More Complicated ProcessAlthough D4 S8 provides players with a wealth of choices, the way to unlock reliquaries has been redesigned, making the process of the entire season more cumbersome. Before S8, you only need to play specific games in the game to earn XP and upgrade Battle Pass.
But, in S8 players must complete the season quests to obtain unique Favor Tokens to obtain the reliquary and obtain the items in it.
In addition, the past season completed the season quests to obtain Favor to increase reputation, and now this system seems to have been integrated into new Reliquary System.
Due to the introduction of the new Reliquary System, players who are used to the old process may feel confused and need some time to adapt to the new process, which is troublesome. Perhaps Diablo 4 will take some measures to solve this problem.
After the developer of Diablo 4 announced a short film about its collaboration with the classic popular anime Berserk, the developer has now announced all the details about this collaboration, including some new activities and new equipment, which fans are looking forward to.
As Season 8 Belial’s Return approaches, players in the game community are full of expectations. Let’s take a look at what new things this popular game and anime collaboration will bring.
Since the official launch, Diablo 4 has been continuously updating various rich game content for players, including various limited-time activities, battle passes and seasons.
In order to meet the needs of players, the developer also announced the game's roadmap some time ago, but because it remained unchanged and lacked innovation, the effect of this update was not as good as expected.
Now, what fans are more concerned about is the crossover collaboration between the game and the popular anime Berserk. And the developer has finally announced the specific content of this collaboration.
New GameplayFirst of all, from the gameplay point of view, you have the opportunity to get Behelits from the loot dropped by killing elite enemies. It can be traded in Berserk Reliquary and exchanged for Skull KNight’s Heraldry Mount Armor, Hawks Destiny Back Trophy or Brand of Sacrifice Marking. After you claim all the items, you can get a Commemorative Berserker Emblem.
New Armor SetsIn order to enrich the game content and meet the needs of players who want more items, the developers have also added special armor sets for the protagonist in Berserk to the game’s product list.
Starting from May 6th, until the end of the new season, players can use $1 in the in-game store to get these new crossover items, including Hawk of Light and Struggler armor sets for Rogue, Skull Knight for Necromancers, and Barbarian’s Berserker Armor.
At the same time, pet gift packs for Schnoz and Warhorse of Hawk will also be launched in the store, but their prices have not yet been announced.
In addition to Season 8’s collaboration with Berserk, Diablo Immortal Struggler’s Path also has a collaboration with the anime. From May 1 to May 30, players can experience new and exciting content in the game.
In Diablo Immortal, just log in to receive login rewards, including decorations, class-specific weapons and badges, etc.
In the new boss battle, we can also fight the cruel Nosferatu Zodd. Defeating it will have a chance to get Berserk-themed loot, such as Crimson Behelit Gem, which can unlock more terrible bosses.
By participating in the Survivor’s Bane Event, we can enter Eclips, fight off waves of enemies, and withstand the sacrifice that shook the Band of the Hawk. There will be many interesting activities and items about cooperation updated in these two games waiting for us to explore.
In general, these adjustments by the developers are intended to make some permanent changes to the game rather than temporary changes that will disappear in future seasons.
Some Unique Items and Legendary Aspects will be introduced in the upcoming new season Belial’s Return, which makes many fans can’t wait to experience the new game.
Unique items are very important resources in the game, which can greatly affect our equipment build. It can be class-specific or universal to all classes. Just like Umbracrux and Harlequin Crest for Rogues. If further subdivided, it can be divided into ordinary unique items and Mythic Unique items. The former is relatively common, while the latter is rarer and more powerful.
Legendary Aspects are modifiers that can improve the potential of the player’s character and make it more powerful. It can transform Rare items into Legendary items. It has extremely high practicality, offensive and defensive properties.
Generally speaking, it can also be divided into class-specific and universal to all classes. For example, Aspect of Creeping Death is universal to all classes. Currently, the developers have modified these two resources and will release them in S8: Belial’s Return. $1 is essential to quickly acquire these important resources starting in Season 8, so you can accumulate some gold now to enhance your builds with these Unique Items and Legendary Aspects in the new season and maximize the potential of your class.

For the first time since the release of Diablo 4, the developer released new game content several months in advance. In order to let players know the progress of the game in advance, it even revealed the theme of the season in 2026.
Diablo 4 announced a roadmap for 2025, which mainly lists seasonal content and some permanent content that changes with the game.
For the sake of the completeness of the roadmap, the roadmap announced by the developer first lists Diablo 4 season 7, focusing on witchcraft powers, occult gems and other content. It is clear that season 8 will start in April and last for three months.
Among them, the most anticipated Belial will return to Diablo 4. Season 9 will last from July to September, focusing on adding horadric powers, a new earnable pet, and dungeon escalation. Season 10 begins in September and ends in December. The focus of this season is on new chaos powers and an update for Infernal Hordes.
The specific content is as follows:
Diablo 4 Season 8 will focus on boss battles to increase the difficulty of the game. Because some players previously thought that the progress of the game in Season 7 was too fast, it was not enough for players to experience the pleasure of the game immersively.
So in Season 8, the developer said that in order to slow down the progress of the game and solve the problems mentioned by players, the difficulty of monsters and the difficulty of the game will be increased.
The main new boss powers in Season 8 are Apparition Incursion activity and earnable feline pet, and the new New Lair bosses are Belial, Urivar, and Harbinger.
At the same time, the battle pass will also be significantly transformed, because the previous pass is too old and cannot meet the needs of current players. Perhaps Diablo 4 will refer to and learn from open-ended battle pass system of Call of Duty to make the pass more up to date.
The name of the season starting in July is called Sins of the Horadrim. The main storyline of Diablo revolves around Horadrim, so the theme of this season is of great significance. According to a roadmap provided by the developer, the main quarterly content of Season 9 is Horadric powers, Dungeon escalation, earnable pet, Permanent additions, New Nightmare Dungeons activities, Console keyboard and mouse support.
Season 10 will introduce Infernal Chaos, which also includes seasonal powers, quests and rewards, but the key point is that the rewards have increased, and players can get more $1 and other rewards. These reflect that the developers have not forgotten their original intentions. It also includes specific content such as Chaos powers, Infernal Hordes, updates, and earnable pet.
The last part of the roadmap is the content for 2026, which mainly includes New expansion and New ranking system, New ranking system, among which the most eye-catching is the launch of the leaderboard. Games often have a competitive nature, and the leaderboard can greatly increase the interest of players and satisfy the psychological pursuit of victory.
Although the form of the leaderboard has not been specifically announced, there may be many rewards for players who are at the top of the leaderboard.
The above is about the content that will be updated in the next few seasons of Diablo 4. I wonder if there is any part that you are interested in?
The acclaimed Final Fantasy XIV has always been accustomed to incorporating and absorbing content from other Final Fantasy games, so it is not surprising that we will continue to see the series’ past in FFXIV.
In a recent interview, the game’s lead composer Masayoshi Soken said that the current MMORPG field is still lacking a work that truly carries the soul of Final Fantasy. The talented composer who has won numerous awards has a desire to pay tribute to the classic work Final Fantasy VIII. However, Soken also said that whether FF14 will add more Final Fantasy references later will depend on the specific situation.
Masayoshi SokenBack in 2010, the first version of FFXIV 1.0 almost ruined the entire IP due to its disastrous performance. It was during this crisis that Soken was appointed as the lead composer and set the emotional tone for A Realm Reborn with epic tracks. After fourteen years of hard work, he not only created legendary songs such as Close In the Distance and Tomorrow and Tomorrow for FFXIV, but also demonstrated his cross-border strength in Final Fantasy XVI. And his fusion of symphony and electronic rock won him high praise from industry professionals.
Interestingly, although FFXIV main music library already contains hundreds of adapted songs from the Final Fantasy series, Soken still has a special liking for FFVIII, and said that he felt very sorry that Eorzea continent has not yet fully demonstrated the spiritual heritage of FF8. As soon as this remark came out, it immediately triggered a hot post on Reddit - after all, this music giant has always been known for his accurate quotations, and every time the classic melody reappears, it can trigger the collective memory of players.
FFXIV DawntrailIt is interesting that in Dawntrail, players can clearly see the developer’s tribute to Final Fantasy 9. Perhaps this practice of favoring one over the other is the deep motivation for Soken’s voice this time.
In March, FFXIV released Patch 7.2. This means we are coming to the end of Dawntrail and can welcome the next expansion. It will be a great opportunity to showcase other game content and reimagine its world and characters - it is a good opportunity to include FF8 in it.
Classic ImplantationIn this case, why doesn’t FF14 directly introduce FF8 content on a large scale? This is because the resurrection of each classic element requires a narrative fulcrum. This also happens to reveal the key to FFXIV’s success - unlike the theme-park design that simply piles up feelings, the developer always adheres to the principle of world view compatibility. Every classic reappearance is a dual satisfaction of narrative logic and player emotion.
In addition, the implantation of classic content is often accompanied by fluctuations in the economic system. According to experience, this kind of sentiment-driven economic cycle is quite amazing. In the month that Gunbreaker class was launched, the total amount of $1 in circulation in the in-game weapons market grew incredibly, which also indirectly confirmed the leverage that the addition of some classic characters has on the virtual economy.
But I think now is the best time to integrate FF8 into FF14. Because now we need a new long-term villain to drive the story further. This can’t help but remind us of FF8’s primary antagonist - Ultimecia, who is the first female main villain to appear in the Final Fantasy series.
As a sorceress from the future, her strength should not be underestimated. She tried to make herself a living god. Although her plan did not succeed in the end, she still caused a lot of trouble for players in Final Fantasy 8, and thus left a very deep impression on players.
Interestingly, her ability to travel through time and space is just right for the plot of FFXIV, and we look forward to her joining as a new villain.
All in all, there are still many opportunities for Final Fantasy 14 to integrate with other Final Fantasy games. With new version confirmed to explore new continents, I hope Soken can get his wish. Maybe the legacy of FF8 will really be reborn in FF14 in the future.
World of Warcraft will remove Guild Name Change service from Shop on April 22, 2025. This is not only a simple function migration but also a milestone event in the systematic reform of WoW's paid system. This may also indicate that Patch 11.1.5 will also be released together with Guild Name Change function. Players may not have to wait long to experience the new content of The War Within Expansion this spring!
Guild ServicesRecently, WOW The War Within11.1.5 patch landed in the public beta Public Test Realm, allowing fans to see the upcoming update with their own eyes. This transformation of Guild Name Change continues the previous trend - in July 2024, WOW withdrew Guild Realm Transfer and Guild Faction Transfer services from the in-game store. When the guild name change is removed from both Battle.net and the in-game store, it means that World of Warcraft will no longer provide paid guild services. This change also marks that the guild management function of WOW is gradually returning to the main game.
According to current information, Guild Name Change function is integrated into Guild Master interface of Major Cities. And Guild Name Changes must meet the following conditions:、
Applicants must have Guild Master permissions. The guild bank must hold 200,000 Gold and cannot bind funds. The new name must pass sensitive word filtering and uniqueness verification.In addition, it has also attracted widespread attention. Its 200,000 $1 pricing strategy. Referring to the current market average price of WoW Token, the new pricing reduces the cost compared to cash. This design forms a connection with the Winds of Mysterious Fortune experience buff added in the 11.1.5 patch - the event provides experience bonuses and generous rewards, which can significantly improve the efficiency of players' gold acquisition. WoW The War Within is now obviously guiding players to obtain gold for trading mainly through game behavior.
However, these clues also show that The War Within is building a triangular circulation system of gold coins, game content, and social capital. Compared with other MMO games, it chooses a more direct way to make changes, which can also be said to be an immense challenge.
Patch 11.1.5Furthermore, April 22 is not only the time when WOW brings us Guild Name Change, but it is also very likely to be the launch date of Patch 11.1.5. The following are some key content updates included in this patch.
Horrific VisionsN'Zoth's corruption is about to return, please return to Stormwind and Orgrimmar to accept the challenge. Remember to keep your sanity and be careful not to fail!
Battle ModeHorrific Visions will be able to support single-player or Group Queue battle modes. However, for players who want to form a team but do not have suitable teammates, you can invite the healer Construct of Soridormi as an NPC companion, who can be unaffected by sanity. This update also optimizes him to a certain extent to improve the player's gaming experience.
Horrific Vision MasksAs expected, the Horrific Vision Masks are also returning, including Mask of the Pained, Mask of Dark Imagination, Mask of the Long Night, Mask of the Burned Bridge, and Mask of the Daredevil. In addition, there are three new masks waiting to be discovered this time! You can activate higher difficulties and get more Heroic difficulty items that are more suitable for you.
New CurrencyPatch 11.1.5 brings a new currency to Horrific Vision - Displaced Corrupted Mementos currency. Players can use it at vendors in exchange for previously Displaced Corrupted Mementos. It can also be exchanged for new rewards in this Horrific Visions, including mounts, toys, transmogs, and even weapon enchantments.
Another important point of this update is that the developers decided to move Corrupted Weapon enchants to Helmet slot, so that all classes can use it.
Dastardly DuosPlayers have access to three hubs for Dastardly Duos, located in Stormwind, Orgrimmar, and Dornogal. While Vinnie Sweets hosts the show, players can join in to fight animatronic versions of past bosses, earn power-ups, and fight for higher and higher scores. You and your team will need to fight two or more bosses, earning high scores by killing, dealing damage, and more. There are also specific achievements waiting to be unlocked that provide additional gameplay effects!
Nightfall ActivityAfter defeating Queen Ansurek, players will join the new faction Flame’s Radiance to defend Arathi from the Sureki army. It is composed of veterans Thaed Pyremaker and Mylton Wyldbraun.
The faction will launch new quests and activities during Hallowfall and Azj-Kahet to earn Renown and additional rewards. The Flame’s Radiance faction will offer ten Renown levels, and new rewards will be unlocked as you rank up. Including - new armor sets, Flame’s Radiance Tabard, weapons, and more.
All in all, Remove Guild Service the shop reflects WOW The War Within return to the nature of MMO games. And the upcoming Patch 11.1.5 will bring us a lot of fresh surprises. It won’t be long before players can see the exact time of the official release.
In the upcoming version 0.2.0 patch update in late March, the developers will add a series of new content to the game. These include new support gems, new unique items, and even there will be a high probability of releasing a new class.
However, among the adjustments announced by the developers for POE 2, there is one point that is controversial among players, that is, the adjustment to Lost Towers. They added the mechanism of Lost Towers to make it have richer content for players to explore. But not all players are satisfied with this.
What Adjustments Have Been Made To Lost Towers?In the preview of the 0.2.0 patch, the official said that they will change the mechanism of Lost Towers in the next update, so that players can encounter random rare enemies or even BOSSes in the process of exploring the tower. At the same time, the next version of Lost Towers will also be affected by Precursor Tablets, changing the distribution of monsters. That is to say, Lost Towers will give birth to more monsters for players to sweep.
It is not possible to judge whether this change is good or bad. Let’s take a look at how Lost Towers perform in the endgame of the 0.1.0 patch.
Lost Towers In 0.1.0 PatchIn the endgame, players explore Lost Towers basically to open up new maps, and then insert Precursor Tablets on Lost Towers to affect the appearance of modifiers.
If players have Waystones with very bad attributes, or Waystones that become worse under the influence of Vaal Orb, then players usually choose to use these Waystones on Lost Towers.
Because Lost Towers have very low returns, and basically no rare items will be dropped. And there are no activities. Therefore, there is no loss in dropping Waystones in Lost Towers.
If players have Precursor Tablets with very good attributes, then players can insert these Precursor Tablets into nearby towers. The influence areas of these towers will overlap, and the overlapping areas are the areas with the best farming currency. When several excellent attributes overlap, the probability of rare enemies appearing in this overlapping area will be much higher, so you can get good benefits in these locations, such as many $1 or even unique items.
This method is also effective in 0.2.0. This is a very timesaving method. But players still hate Lost Towers very much and even think that Lost Towers ruined the entire POE 2 endgame experience.
Mainly because the rewards players can get in Lost Towers are very rare, and the interior of Lost Towers is very complicated, like a maze. And the interior of Lost Towers is very narrow. When players fight inside Lost Towers, the skills they release are often blocked by walls, so the experience inside Lost Towers is very poor.
However, the developers also made some changes to Lost Towers in 0.1.1. In version 0.1.1, the developers added 5 new types of towers to the game:
Alpine Ridge Bluff Lost Towers Mesa Sinking SpireEach of these towers has a different terrain and monster distribution. The best tower for players is basically Bluff, because the exploration route in this tower is basically a straight line, allowing them to complete the tower the fastest.
Lost Towers In 0.2.0 PatchSince Lost Towers introduced more points of interest in 0.2.0, players have to spend more time than usual to fully explore the entire tower. This is unbearable for some players, mainly because the complex and narrow terrain of Lost Towers makes every minute of fighting in it full of torture. Even worse, players sometimes cannot defeat the boss in the tower, which may cause players to have to challenge these bosses repeatedly or waste one of their Waystones to reset the tower.
In addition, since the 0.2.0 patch, towers will also be affected by Precursor Tablets. When players use Breach tablets and encounter a Breach encounter in a tower, the battle will become very difficult.
After the update, players can no longer throw Precursor Tablets or Waystones with disadvantageous entries into Lost Towers at will, because towers will now also have various monsters and rewards.
But such changes are not all bad. At least after the update, Lost Towers will become the same as ordinary maps and can also bring rich rewards to players. Compared with previous versions, players now have more opportunities to encounter Ritual events, Breach events and Delirium mirrors on the map. Therefore, towers will become another place to choose to farm currency.
Lost Towers will also be affected by Precursor Tablets on other Lost Towers, so you can also control the drops or enemies in the tower to a certain extent.

Most players may be dissatisfied with the changes to Lost Towers in the 0.2.0 patch. This is because Lost Towers is not what they are interested in. The process of exploring the tower is depressing and disappointing. Even after the changes, most players are probably still not willing to fight in such a complex terrain as Lost Towers. Players are more looking forward to developers bringing some real new content. For example, new bosses, new activities, new unique items or classes, etc.
