Path of Exile 2 Game Director Jonathan Rogers sat down with me to talk all things POE2 gameplay and development. It was an absolute blast speaking with Jonathan and I learned a lot. Of note are item tier drops, campaign randomization, and lessons GGG learns from new game releases in the ARPG.

Apologies for the audio issues during the beginning, the echo is fixed by minute 2.5. As for my affirmative interjections, well, I've learned for next time.
