Is it worth creating a brand new character for Path of Exile 2: Dawn of the Hunt, or is remaining in Standard League the way to go?
With Path of Exile 2 version 0.2.0, Grinding Gear Games announced the beginning of Dawn of the Hunt, the very first new league after the game’s initial release in Early Access. Players hoping to jump back into PoE 2, or those who are thinking of joining in for the first time, will want to know which league they should play.
Is it worth creating a brand new character for Dawn of the Hunt and abandoning the Exile they spent hundreds of hours on, or is sticking to the Standard League and old characters the way to go? Here’s the breakdown.
Is Starting a New Character For the Dawn of the Hunt Worth it?
Yes, it most certainly is. For first-time players of PoE 2, there is no reason to go to the Standard League as the Dawn of the Hunt is catered first and foremost to them, as is the case with every new league in PoE 2. Additionally, for players hoping to get the full experience of all the changes introduced with 0.2.0 in Path of Exile 2, creating a new character in the Dawn of the Hunt League is the optimal way.
Dawn of the Hunt will have a completely refreshed economy, allowing players who are just jumping into Path of Exile 2 for the first time to start on the same footing as the veterans who have been playing since Patch 0.
