Lately, the PoE2 conversation has been less about flashy builds and more about what actually makes you log off annoyed. The temple-style endgame is the big one, especially when you're trying to learn it with friends and it keeps punishing every mistake. That's why the latest notes have people paying attention, and why stuff like PoE 2 Items buy even comes up in the same breath: players want fewer roadblocks between "I've got a plan" and "I'm back in the action" without the whole thing turning into a grindy rerun.

<h2>Account-Wide Progress That Actually Helps</h2>
The best change is also the simplest: your temple caps aren't trapped on one character anymore. If you're the kind of player who rolls alts when a new skill interaction pops up, you know the old loop. You'd hit a wall, then stare at your roster and think, "Do I really want to unlock all that again." Now the top unlock is shared across the account. You still have to log into each character so it can "see" the highest limit, which is a little clunky, but it beats doing the whole climb from zero every time you swap builds.

<h2>Temple Runs Feel Less Like One Mistake Ends It</h2>
The temple flow is also getting closer to what endgame mapping already taught players to expect. Before, dying at the wrong moment&mdash;especially on a key boss&mdash;could trash the whole run. That's the sort of thing that doesn't feel "hard," it just feels unfair. The new approach sounds kinder: if you die, you come back into a fresh instance, with the mess cleared out, so the attempt isn't instantly bricked. On top of that, the UI is being cleaned up in the places that mattered most. Hovering rooms should finally tell you what upgrades really do, and the map will flag rooms you can't reach instead of making you guess. Even the destabilisation wording is getting tightened up, which should cut down on the constant "Wait, how does this work." moments.

<h2>Clarity in Combat and the Messy Bits Around It</h2>


Outside the temple, the character sheet is getting the kind of detail players have begged for. You'll see your real defensive totals, not a bunch of half-truth numbers that ignore modifiers, and you'll see what spirit a skill reserves after everything is applied. That matters when you're tinkering, because one "small" change can quietly break your setup. In fights, being able to hover enemies and read buff names should help too. When a boss is stacking something nasty, you'll know what you're reacting to instead of just panicking at the visuals. Still, not everything's fixed: trading has been shaky, with listings failing to show for some people no matter how often they relist, move tabs, or tweak prices. Until that stabilises, it's nice to have alternatives&mdash;if you're trying to gear up fast, U4GM is the sort of place players use to pick up currency or items when the in-game market is being stubborn.
