Forever Exiled is a Path of Exile podcast hosted by Justin (Tagz) and Tyler (Wrecker of Days) that covers all things Path of Exile. We’re both heavily obsessed with the game. Every time we go out for dinner, the conversation quickly turns from real life to the builds we’re playing, the news that GGG has released, and all of our opinions and dreams regarding it all. We talk so much PoE, that a podcast just made sense ;-). Tagz has been playing Path of Exile since Beta in April 2012 and Wrecker eventually joined in 2014. We both have very different playstyles so there doesn’t seem to be an end to the things we can make fun of each for. So, if you want to join a couple of buds talking PoE over a few drinks, pull up a chair and enjoy yourselves!

    One Week to ExileCon 2026!

    It's that most wonderful time of the year! It's when GGG gets the ball rolling on pumping out its teasers for Path of Exile's future! Path 2 and PoE 1 have some big announcements coming next week at ExileCon, and with the new coin and dagger teaser they just put out, there's lots of hope and excitement for ExileCon 2026! Thanks for listening to episode 368! Love ya! With ExileCon 2026 just one week away, we're getting ready for a very big stretch of Path of Exile news. This week, we go through the convention schedule and talk about what we're most excited to hear from Grinding Gear Games, including the keynote, developer panels, Developing New Classes, and the founders' roundtable. We also get into why the talks about boss design, the game engine, and the sound of Wraeclast can be just as interesting as the headline announcements. Between preparing for New Zealand and figuring out what we can watch from home, we're ready to find out what's next for Path of Exile 1 and Path of Exile 2. The Path of Exile 2 "Become the Darkness" teaser gives us plenty to overanalyse before we get there. Is that a dagger piercing a Perandus coin, and could the black smoke be hinting at the Shadow, rune daggers, or more classes and weapon types? We pick apart the clues, share our hopes for the missing Ascendancies, and try to keep our wish list separate from what's actually been revealed. We also revisit the next Path of Exile 1 league, our ongoing 3.30 or 4.0 debate, and why we're hoping ExileCon kicks off a much busier month for both games. Apparently, all it takes to get us going again is a coin and something sharp.

    League Math

    Let's see...we have 2 weeks to go until GGG's ExileCon, we have 6 weeks to go until Path of Exile 2 1.0, and maybe we have 2 weeks to go until PoE Q's 4.0? Maybe? The paid promotions have begun and we can't wait to see the rest! Bring on the news! Thanks for listening to episode 367! We love your faces. This week, we work through the increasingly complicated Path of Exile release calendar. With ExileCon 2026 only two weeks away and Path of Exile 2’s full 1.0 launch arriving on December 11, we debate whether the next Path of Exile 1 league will really be 3.30 or whether GGG could surprise everyone with PoE 1 version 4.0. We also look back at how Path of Exile’s version numbers moved through 1.x, 2.x, and 3.x, and what a major PoE 1 update this close to PoE 2 could mean for both games. The marketing machine is starting up too. We talk about GGG’s sponsored Viva La Dirt League passive-tree video, the Path of Exile 2 registration and reward campaign, ExileCon merchandise, and how the promotional schedule may build toward launch. We also share what we hope to see revealed at ExileCon, including more than the Duelist and swords, additional classes and Ascendancies, and enough new content to make Path of Exile 2’s 1.0 release feel truly complete.

    Blasting Through the Past

    Path of Exile 1 has been around now for 13 years, PoE 2 is about to be born, and Forever Exiled is almost 7 years old! With Path 1's 3.30 announcement this week, and with ExileCon coming up, we got talking on the on the scheduling of the games, what's hopefully going to be announced, and we even blast through some older topics. Thanks for tuning in for episode 366 this week! We love your faces! This week, we break down GGG’s newly announced plans for Path of Exile 1 update 3.30 and debate whether launching it so close to Path of Exile 2’s full release is brilliant scheduling or a dangerous amount of PoE all at once. We also talk about the unusual silence leading into ExileCon 2026, what we expect to see revealed, and whether classes, Ascendancies, weapon types, skills, and other promised content will be ready for launch. Then we dig through years of old Forever Exiled notes to see which Path of Exile discussions still hold up. That takes us through crafting improvements, loot filters, auras, attributes, melee accuracy, death recaps, guild functionality, hideout editing, keyboard-and-mouse support on console, and some very old Path of Exile 2 promises. We finish by revisiting the PoE 2 endgame, Atlas passive progression, mapping frustrations, boss encounters, and the changes we still hope GGG has planned.

    Ascending to Three

    Three-ish weeks until the last ExileCon before Path of Exile 2 official release date! We can't wait for what's coming! But, with GGG not giving us much to talk about these days, we turn to hopes and dreams! PoE 2 can only get better from here and it's exciting to anticipate! (Hopefully Path 1 players get their schedules soon.) Thanks for listening to episode 365! We love your faces. This week, we dig into the current state of Ascendancy in Path of Exile 2 and ask whether earning the third and fourth sets of Ascendancy points is challenging in the right ways. We compare the Trial of the Sekhemas and Trial of Chaos, speculate about how Trial of the Ancestors and Navali could fit into the system, and discuss whether Ascendancy trials should test your actual build through combat, bosses, and survivability instead of introducing entirely different mechanics. We also talk about weapon-set passive trees, skill and Meta Gem restrictions, minion builds, Cast on Minion Death, and the eternal temptation to ask GGG for just one more passive-tree setup. With ExileCon 2026 approaching, we share our hopes for Path of Exile 2’s official release and wonder when Path of Exile 1 players might finally hear about the next league and its release schedule.

    One Month to ExileCon 2026!

    In one month, we'll find out all there is to know about the future of Path of Exile 1 and PoE 2! There hasn't been much noise from GGG lately, but that doesn't stop two nerds from their RNG hopes and dreams! We're looking forward for what's to come! Thanks for listening to episode 364! With ExileCon 2026 only one month away, we’re trying to figure out what Grinding Gear Games might be saving for the event. GGG has been unusually quiet outside of the ExileCon race qualifiers, leaving us to speculate about the next Path of Exile 1 league, possible surprise announcements and what will be revealed before Path of Exile 2’s full release on December 11. We also talk about the already-announced Duelist and swords, the possibility of additional classes, Ascendancies, weapon types and skills, and whether ExileCon could include a surprise PoE 1 league launch. How much should GGG reveal before the convention, and how much excitement should be saved for everyone watching live? Of course, there’s still plenty of Path of Exile 2 theorycrafting along the way. We dig into Smith of Kitava versus Lich minion builds, Energy Shield, Minion Instability, Blasphemy, curses, Living Lightning, temporary minions, Spirit limitations and the endless cycle of spending gold to rebuild a character after only a few maps. We also share where we’re at with PoE 2’s current Ritual-focused content and why we’re ready to see what comes next. What are you hoping GGG announces at ExileCon 2026?

    Scaring Blizzards?

    A D5 announcement for a product 3 years away? Is GGG scaring Blizzard with Path of Exile 2? We get there, eventually. Thanks for listening to episode 363! You're the best! In Episode 363 of Forever Exiled, Justin and Tyler discuss whether Grinding Gear Games and Path of Exile 2 are putting pressure on Blizzard and the Diablo franchise. With a reported Diablo 5 release still years away, they compare the paths taken by GGG and Blizzard, the rivalry between Path of Exile and Diablo, and why competition between major action RPGs can ultimately benefit players. The conversation also digs into Path of Exile 2 build diversity, minion theorycrafting, Smith of Kitava, temporary zombies, Skeleton Brutes, power charges, Minion Instability, curses, boss damage and survivability. They share their frustrations with PoE 2’s Atlas progression, campaign length and endgame systems, along with thoughts on Ritual, Abyss, Breach, Expedition and other league mechanics inherited from Path of Exile 1. Are GGG and Path of Exile 2 genuinely scaring Blizzard, or is Diablo 5 simply following Blizzard’s existing development cycle? Join us for another relaxed, honest and occasionally distracted conversation about PoE 1, PoE 2, Diablo, ARPG design and the games we cannot stop theorycrafting.

    That Cursed Atlas Passive Tree

    End game end game end gammmmme... Fiddle faddle fayyyyy... We don't care if it ends up plainnnnn... We just want it to be fun. Hooray! Hopefully you're enjoying GGG''s Path of Exile 2's 0.5.5! Or PoE 1! Thanks for listening to episode 362! Love ya!  In Episode 362 of Forever Exiled, we dig into the Path of Exile 2 endgame changes introduced with patch 0.5.5, including the new Atlas progression system and what it means for player choice. Does earning enough points to eventually fill the entire Atlas passive tree make progression feel rewarding, or does it remove the customization that makes Path of Exile’s endgame so compelling? We compare the PoE 2 Atlas with Path of Exile 1’s Atlas passive trees, alternate tree loadouts, scarabs and personalized farming strategies. We also discuss what keeps us returning for a new league, what makes an endgame worth grinding and why PoE 2 still has work to do before its full release.
