Path of Exile 2 co-directors Mark Roberts and Jonathan Rogers have responded to an outcry from fans who have commented on the unforgiving endgame difficulty. Existing as a sequel to the 2013 game of the same name, Path of Exile 2 introduced a new skill system containing 240 active skill gems with 12 character classes to choose from, and after completing the six-act story, players have access to the brutal 100 endgame maps.
