Quality-of-Life Improvements

GGG continues to Path of Exile 2 Currency fine-tune the PoE 2 experience in early access. In addition to XP tweaks, patch 0.3.0 is expected to bring:

UI updates for crafting and inventory
Server-side performance enhancements (significant for new regions)
New Ascendancy tuning and balance updates

New Acts? Not Quite Yet

While it's been confirmed that Acts 4 through 6 will be coming to PoE 2, Jonathan Rogers mentioned they may arrive "sooner than expected"-but probably not with patch 0.3.0. Instead, players can expect new Acts to roll out closer to patch 0.4.0 or 0.5.0, later in the Early Access cycle. That said, GGG could tease these Acts with new NPCs, areas, or cutscenes in 0.3.0 to build anticipation.

What Could Surprise Players?

While GGG keeps a tight lid on its big reveals until patch previews, PoE 2 Season 3 might introduce:

A new Ascendancy class
A unique League mechanic that ties into Hunt or Capture gameplay
Expanded crafting affixes or overhauls
The first steps of full controller support for the PC client

Additionally, with the China launch, there's a possibility that PoE 2 will receive its first global event or cross-region challenge, especially since League launches often coincide with poe 2 trade temporary events.
