The Third Edict launched August 29 and added Act IV of Path of Exile 2's campaign, two temporary "interlude" acts to help players reach the endgame, and the ARPG's first seasonal league, Rise of the Abyssal. Developer Grinding Gear Games says it's been keeping a close eye on player feedback since the update's launch, and now it's almost ready to release patch 0.3.0b to address various issues.
In addition to learning more details about the update itself, which Rogers said takes "a good crack at solving every problem people are currently unhappy about," we discussed why developer Grinding Gear Games thinks including a league as part of the update is essential, how GGG is looking to avoid the pitfalls of the game's initially poorly received Dawn of the Hunt update, when players can expect a new class and the game to leave early access, and more.
