The innuendos don't come flying furiously in this episode (293), but we do talk about some pretty hardcore stuff! With Path of Exile One and Two both being part of the discussion this week, we have some fresh takes on the differences between the current state of the games.

Tis the season for reflection, appreciation, and rage (irl). With Path 2 a bit into its release, the timing of Path of Exile 1's private league templates worked great! Even though the biggest changes to loot in PoE's history happened in Path 2 at the same time as the addition to free PLs in Path 1, we were given the opportunity to compare and appreciate the different pros and cons of each game with a fresh look. We hope you enjoyed this week's episode (we sure did), and thanks, as always, for your listens each week!

The G patch came! This week, GGG modified their loot experience to such an extent that Justin's going to restart the campaign as a Chronomancer! Just kidding on the last part, but with both the free private leagues for Path of Exile 1 and a revamped loot experience for PoE 2, we had too much to talk about! We hope you're enjoying either Path of Exile experience and we thank you, as always, for your time and support.

It's episode 290! That's not a special number or anything but we're excited to hang out with you again! This week we touch on some fresh Last Epoch comparisons and attempt to stay away from Path of Exile 2 campaign/character progress comments. PoE 1's 3.26 June release has been referenced by GGG in regards to private league templates being released this week, so we're intrigued to the timing of releases as well.

Wow! GGG is coming out shooting! The number of patches and posts that came out this week shows that Path of Exile is full speed ahead. So many big changes came with patch 0.2.0E, along with many other patches, that Dawn of the Hunt is already a very different beast than it was last week.

Poor GGG (kind of). Another heartfelt apology video came out this week to all Path of Exile 1-3.26 hopefuls. Path of Exile 2 is all hands on deck and GGG is working hard to give us the best game they can make. In the mean time, we get what we get, and we don't get upset...

GGG is back from their holiday break and already working hard to bring us new updates! In Episode 275, we dive into our hopes for Path of Exile 2 patch 0.1.1 (which drops the same day this episode goes live). Will we see new ascendancies, classes, or tweaks to the endgame and campaign? We also chat about our week of gameplay—respecs, fresh playthroughs, and some thoughts on the new guild challenges and community feedback. Thanks for your constant support, and we hope you're having a blast in both Path of Exile 1 and the Path of Exile 2 Beta! Love ya!

Happy New Year, Everyone! We hope you've had a great time since the holiday season took off. Hopefully, the rest of the holidays treats you well too! With the Christmas lull in effect we had tons of time to settle into Path of Exile 2's beta and theory-craft new ideas, progress on old ones, and do a little daydreaming while we're at it. We're looking forward to the next wave of GGG patch notes! That's for your support each and every week!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! We're now two weeks into Path of Exile 2's Early Access/Beta and GGG has been going strong on patches and improvements, and the community is flying high with non-stop feedback.

Path of Exile 2! The world has now had a full week of Early Access and we have both taken full advantage. We've "cleared" our calendars and have been playing it non-stop. This week, like all weeks, but especially this week, we couldn't stop talking about our experiences, hopes, and build(s). It's an exciting time to be in Path of Exile Land! Hopefully, GGG is feeling the same. Thanks for listening each and every week! We love being a part of your weekly routine.

Path of Exile 2 is finally here! The masses are finally able to play! Who cares if it's Early Access, the fine-tuning will come.

Episode 269 is the last episode of the Path of Exile 1 era! Next week we'll be playing Path of Exile 2's Early Access and this week was non-stop hype. GGG is in the final stages of dotting their "I"s and crossing their "T"s but for us, even while we're in meetings, we can't stop thinking that PoE 2 is just around the corner. You've been amazing to us through this great Path of Exile 1 journey. We can't thank you enough! We're looking forward to starting this new journey with you of Path of Exile 2! Love ya! Forever Exiled Info:www.foreverexiled.comPatreonTwitter @ForeverExiled82Path of Exile WebsiteWrecker of Days Builds ListDiscord...FE Merch StoreFE Nexus Store

With the conclusion of GGG's biggest announcement ever (arguably), we can't handle talking about anything else! If only we had more time! Episode 268 of Forever Exiled takes you through all our hype and reservations regarding the upcoming Path of Exile sequel (which we'll all be able to access in just a couple of weeks). Reveals are the best and GGG came out swinging! Thanks for joining us this week. It's always a pleasure to hang out.Forever Exiled Info:www.foreverexiled.comPatreonTwitter @ForeverExiled82Path of Exile WebsiteWrecker of Days Builds ListDiscord...FE Merch StoreFE Nexus Store

The guilt! The shame! But not in GGG Land! This week, in episode 267, we discuss both big news articles that hit the Path of Exile fanbase this week. Big news, big moves, and closet confessions. The next few weeks are going to be big! Thank-you to all of our listeners throughout the years for helping us reach a combined total of 500 episodes! Making us a part of your weekly routine is humbling and mind-blowing. We are honoured to be a part of it. We wish you the best in the coming weeks to the PoE 2 announcement, the beta, and the next 500 episodes!

This week, in Forever Exiled's 266th episode, we have just as much fun as we do in all of our other episodes. Delays can't slow us down! GGG came out with a couple of teasers for Path of Exile 2, along with releasing their 2nd 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur league. Even when there's nothing PoE to talk about, there's always something PoE to talk about. Oswald's got us daydreaming and the Mercenary has us theory-crafting. Thank you for all of your faithful support each and every week. It's an honour being in your weekly routines. Love ya!Forever Exiled Info:www.foreverexiled.comPatreonTwitter @ForeverExiled82Path of Exile WebsiteWrecker of Days Builds ListDiscord...FE Merch StoreFE Nexus Store

As disappointing as a delay for anything you're excited for can be, GGG gave fans a lot to take in and talk about this week. We're no different than any other fans of Path of Exile so we delve into PoE 2's delay, 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur "expansion", and all fun assumptions in between. Hopefully you're all having a great week and thanks for turning on our show again. We love your faces.Forever Exiled Info:www.foreverexiled.comPatreonTwitter @ForeverExiled82Path of Exile WebsiteWrecker of Days Builds ListDiscord...FE Merch StoreFE Nexus Store

We're just around the corner to Path of Exile 2's Beta! In Episode 264 we talk about the rest of GGG's comments that we dug up from from their active Reddit days. Some things have yet to be determined (well, all of it is), and some things we could confirm from our hands-on experience in LA. We can't wait for the announcement for PoE 2's beta and we're sure you can't wait either! Thanks so much for your support! We love being a part of your weekly routine and we hope you're having an awesome 3.25.

We are a month away from a punctual Path of Exile 2 Beta release! With the big reveal, GGG is planning for the beta still yet to take place, we are in our "final" two weeks of Path of Exile 1 talk. But, with some long-standing subjects still needing to get to, we wrap up our "final" PoE 1 talk and get started on PoE 2 hype! It's just around the corner, folks! Thanks for listening each week.

You know what? Episode 262 is rad. We even talked about Path of Exile (for a bit). 'Tis the season for getting sick, catching up, being thankful, and theory-crafting how to best slay for XP. GGG is working hard on PoE 2, some of you are still grinding away at your 40/40 hopes and dreams, and most of you can't wait for the next league or Beta. Either way, we love you and can't thank you enough! You all rock! Forever Exiled Info:www.foreverexiled.comPatreonTwitter @ForeverExiled82Path of Exile WebsiteWrecker of Days Builds ListDiscord...FE Merch StoreFE Nexus Store

This week in our 261st episode we get wonderfully side-tracked on the hopes and dreams for the Path of Exile 2's Beta. GGG made an announcement of an announcement, which we love, and it got us going. Hopefully you're enjoying 3.25's Settlers of Kalguur. We love your faces; thanks for everything!Forever Exiled Info:www.foreverexiled.comPatreonTwitter @ForeverExiled82Path of Exile WebsiteWrecker of Days Builds ListDiscord...FE Merch StoreFE Nexus Store

For this week's description of episode 260 we'll let you know that we chatted about: having a great time playing our Hardcore 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur private league with many of you, GGG's PoE 2 beta, and superhero spouses. We also want to make sure that you know how thankful we are for each of your listens each week and that we love your faces.Forever Exiled Info:www.foreverexiled.comPatreonTwitter @ForeverExiled82Path of Exile WebsiteWrecker of Days Builds ListDiscord...FE Merch StoreFE Nexus Store

It's episode 259 and we are halfway through our Forever Exiled 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur private league! We are both having a fantastic time with our characters and with those who are able to play this time around. Things haven't always gone our way, but it's been a great time nonetheless. It's awesome catching up with friends and loved ones while GGG works on 3.26 and The Path of Exile 2 beta. We love you and thank you so much for your continued support!Forever Exiled Info:www.foreverexiled.comPatreonTwitter @ForeverExiled82Path of Exile WebsiteWrecker of Days Builds ListDiscord...FE Merch StoreFE Nexus Store

With only one day down for our Forever Exiled 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur private league, with real life cranking it up a notch, and a slow week in Path of Exile land, we finally made our goal of having a sub 45 minute episode. Of course, we are excited to keep playing in our HCSSF event and appreciate everyone participating and enjoying themselves. Don't forget to laugh at everyone that dies! You know GGG does. Keep that yellow death text coming! Thank you for your listens every week, whether you participate in the private leagues or not!

Episode 257 means balcony party! There's nothing like chatting and planning with a buddy about all things rad. Justin? Rad. Tyler? Rad. Path of Exile? Rad. Sweet weather? Rad. 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur? Rad. GGG? Rad. Upcoming PL? Rad. Our listeners? Uber rad. Now, that's it! No more thankfulness!

It's episode 256! And, what better episode to discuss anything we want! GGG put out a Path of Exile 2 boss video, Justin played Wow, Tyler theory-crafted, and through it all Settlers of Kalguur is still going strong. Hopefully, you're enjoying 3.25 as much as we have! It's a great league to put ideas to the test. Thanks for your listens each week! It's a pleasure being a part of your weekly routines.Forever Exiled Info:www.foreverexiled.comPatreonTwitter @ForeverExiled82Path of Exile WebsiteWrecker of Days Builds ListDiscord...FE Merch StoreFE Nexus Store

It's Episode 255 and what a week to naturally prove how much we love Path of Exile. GGG came out with almost no posts in the past two weeks, yet with only 3 minutes of posts, both regarding Path of Exile 2, we talked non-stop about Beta's, timelines, and bosses so much that we ran out of time! Settlers of Kalguur had some big patches, and...that's nice. You're wonderful and we can't thank you enough for your support! Thanks a bunch!Forever Exiled Info:www.foreverexiled.comPatreonTwitter @ForeverExiled82Path of Exile WebsiteWrecker of Days Builds ListDiscord...FE Merch StoreFE Nexus Store

In episode 254 we had the pleasure of sitting down with ZiggyD! Ziggy has been a staple in the Path of Exile community since its inception and it was a lot of fun to pick his brain about life, Path of Exile 1, and his recent experiences with GGG and Path of Exile 2 (and yes, of course asked about his lawn...). Hopefully you enjoy the conversation as much as we did! Thanks, as always for your support each week. It's an honour being a part of your weekly routines!

It's time to scratch that itch! We just finished the second week of Settlers of Kalguur and have lots to say about it! There's been so many changes to experience that it's going to be tough to get it all in! GGG has been busy with balance patches and we've been busy theory-crafting! Strikes, Slams, Bleed, Poison, Chief, Champ, Necro, the options are too much! 3.25 has been a big jump for us and we're still enjoying experiencing it all! Thanks, as always, for your listens each week. It's a pleasure to be a part of your weekly schedules!After Dark 253: Where We Hide The Real Path of Exile TalkForever Exiled Info:www.foreverexiled.comPatreonTwitter @ForeverExiled82Path of Exile WebsiteWrecker of Days Builds ListDiscord...FE Merch StoreFE Nexus Store

We're not even done the first week of GGG's 3.25 expansion, and dare we say it, it's one of our favourite Path fo Exile leagues so far. Settlers of Kalguur was released so well, that we've been having fun with our builds while considering what else we'd rather be playing! Theory-crafting is always its best when the game is in top shape...and for us, 90% of the time, that's where our head is at. We hope you're having as good an experience with this league-launch as we are, and we can't thank you enough for your constant support!

It's here! 3.25's Settlers of Kalguur league-launch! A league like this is so unique, it's bound to draw lots of attention, and hopefully, for GGG's sake, lots of retention! We both are still in the acts but have had lots of time to fiddle around with all of the new details, and couldn't wait to share our experiences so far together. We can't wait to deal with the endgame experience for both the core game and the league itself. GGG really went all out for this league and we can't wait to delve right in! Thanks for listening each and every week! We hope you're having awesome Path of Exile sessions!After Dark 251: Generous Friend, and Builds!Forever Exiled Info:www.foreverexiled.comPatreonTwitter @ForeverExiled82Path of Exile WebsiteWrecker of Days Builds ListDiscord...FE Merch StoreFE Nexus Store

We don't mean to get ahead of ourselves here, but these expansions for Path of Exile One are getting so big that they seem too good to be true! The quality of life that GGG has been pumping out for the last half a year to a year is so exciting, not just today, but for tomorrow as well! The league itself is as unique as they come, and seems to promise the opposite kind of maintenance from 3.24. Hopefully you all enjoy the episode; we attempted to add some video for our quarter millennium mark (for our YouTube buddies). 250 episodes is quite the number, and we can't thank you enough for all of your support. Whether you support us with Patreon, Discord boosts, an active chatter in our community via whatever medium, or are a listen-only kind of person, we can't thank you enough for taking our hobby to the heights that it has reached. Cheers to you and wait to share another 250 with you!

With 3.25 , Settlers of Kalguur, around the corner, GGG is starting to really pump out the teasers! Next week will be the full reveal, but the number of QoL changes coupled with some currency modifications are definitely getting us quite excited! GGG definitely seems keen on Path of Exile one maintaining its relevancy! We are excited for the reveal next week and had a great time talking about the teasers to tide us over! Thank you for your listens this week and for your support!

In episode 248 we had the pleasure of taking Talkative Tri "out for a drink"! The three of us met in LA for the most recent playtest of Path of Exile 2 and had so much more to talk about than what we had time for there, so here we are! We catch up on our trip, of course (cuz we're not savages) but obviously we get really into the nitty-gritty of our experiences playing PoE 2. We all had great times with the game and have some pretty different opinions regarding the direction we hope they go. Hopefully, you enjoy the banter! Thanks to Tri for joining us!

For anyone who knows J1mmy on YouTube (any Old School RuneScape fans out there?), you'll know what a great guy he is. Great videos, a great sense of humour, and great lawn appreciation. So, who better to have on the show than J1mmy! We had the pleasure of running into J1mmy and Flutten in LA (at the Path of Exile 2 Play Test) and are pleased to be able to continue the conversation of his first-time-ever-playing-PoE experience. The conversation brings up points that experienced players would likely never think of, along with perspectives familiar to long-time players. It was a pleasure to have J1mmy in the neighbourhood! Thanks for stopping by! I hope you all enjoy our chat as much as we did! As always, thanks for all of your support. It's an honour to be a part of your weekly routine!

It's a normal episode! Back to the basics, but let the good times roll. The past two weeks have been unique with the Path of Exile 2 play test and we'll have some guests for the next couple of weeks, so this was our little hiatus of home and comfort. Skills and supports were the majority of our PoE talk but we took a few minutes to shout out Reddit as well. We had a really fun time with this week's episode and hopefully you will too! If you're still playing 3.24's Necropolis, we hope you're having a great time! Thanks for the listens, everyone!After Dark 246: It'll Be Fine!

Glavin! Talk about nerding out! This week is all about Path of Exile 2! Who cares about 3.24's Necropolis league (is that still going on?)! Now that we have passed the embargo date that GGG set for the PlayTest they invited us to, we just can't stop talking about the differences between Path of Exile 1 & 2! It was a privilege to be invited to the event and we can't thank you enough for your support and listening each week!
