Forever Exiled

In episode 340 we get, in a wonderfully round about way, as most conversations go, well, the good conversations anyway, straight to the point of time well spent. GGG have changed how much time they hope from us each time we sit down, and depending on how long you've been playing Path of Exile, you may have seen that change a lot! That reminds me! I remember this one time, long ago, when we were sitting down at one of our houses, I forget who's...
Episode 340 of Forever Exiled is a perfect snapshot of life, randomness, and gaming all colliding in the best way possible.
Tagz and Wrecker kick things off with everything from Easter weekends and family time to puppy training, old movies, and even space exploration, as one of them gets fully hooked on a live NASA stream. It’s one of those weeks where real life takes over… but in a good way.
On the gaming side, the conversation weaves through Path of Exile, private league planning, and the current state of both PoE1 and PoE2. The duo reflects on how juggling two versions of the same game can feel, especially when one offers a better core experience while the other still carries more content depth. They also share details about their upcoming community private league, including the unique Scion-only twist and why timing matters with all the shifting updates.
There’s also a mix of other gaming talk, including trying (and failing) to get into more complex titles after long days, revisiting older games, and finding that balance between wanting to play and just being mentally done.
As always, it’s less about structure and more about the conversation. Life, games, and whatever else comes up.

Welcome! It's episode 339! Do you know what that means? Nothing. But we had a good time! We bounce around private league and GGG league releases, Path of Exile 2 ascendancies, (early) Last Epoch comparisons to Path 1 and PoE 2, last week's colour shenanigans, and whatever else came up (we don't take notes). Thanks for your time each and every week. You're all awesome!
Episode 339 of Forever Exiled is another classic mix of life updates, game talk, and completely unplanned tangents as Tagz and Wrecker bounce between topics without notes and somehow still land on some great discussions.
The episode dives into the current state of Path of Exile, including ongoing league pacing, private league timing, and what’s happening behind the scenes with upcoming releases. There’s also discussion around Path of Exile 2 ascendancies, speculation on class design like Shadow vs Assassin, and how GGG continues to evolve both games at the same time.
A highlight this week is an early look at Last Epoch, with some initial comparisons to both PoE1 and PoE2. The conversation explores how each ARPG handles progression, engagement, and player choice, continuing the ongoing theme of what actually keeps a game fun long-term.
There’s also plenty of community flavour, from hilarious build showcase reactions to Discord chatter, inside jokes (yes… including more colour chaos), and a bit of discussion around events like Zizaran’s Gauntlet.
Whether you’re here for ARPG insights or just two friends catching up while talking games, Episode 339 keeps things relaxed, honest, and entertaining.

In episode 338, we accidentally bring up the equality of D's and T's, we totally don't judge what other people find fun, and we double-check to make sure that all cracks are sealed. GGG keeps patching our favourite game(s) and we keep loving it. Path of Exile's 3.28 Mirage is really tickling our fancy, even though life is busy. We love that you're here. Thanks for stopping by!
Episode 338 of Forever Exiled is another real-life-meets-Wraeclast catch-up, where Tagz and Wrecker bounce between busy weeks, family time, and their ongoing adventures in Path of Exile’s 3.28 Mirage league.
From puppy training progress and spring break chaos to car shows, workouts, and reorganizing life at home, the episode leans into the usual “life first” vibe before diving back into PoE. When they do, the focus turns to Mirage’s continued improvements, recent patches, and how the league feels after more time with it. The conversation highlights quality-of-life updates, gameplay tweaks, and how small changes like smoother transitions and better encounter design can make a big difference in moment-to-moment play.
They also revisit a familiar topic: what makes Path of Exile fun. Whether it’s Atlas passive strategies, community-driven ideas, or simply deciding what content to engage with (and what to ignore), the episode explores how different players define “fun” in very different ways.
There’s also a bit of Path of Exile 2 comparison, some community showcase highlights (including some wild tattoos), and the usual honest takes on where the game shines and where it still needs polish.
Busy lives, evolving leagues, and lots of laughs. Thanks for being here.

C'est la vie in PoE! Episode 337 is short but sweet! We talk about working out like a wet noodle, teenage birthdays, GGG's new endgame, and 3.28 Mirage league (obviously)! We even squeeze in a little Path of Exile 2 for ya. You all rock! Thanks for your love each week 🙂 .
After a packed week of real life, spring break chaos, and a milestone teenage birthday, Episode 337 of Forever Exiled keeps things short but full of personality. Tagz and Wrecker dive into everything from family life and new routines to the realities of trying to unplug from work… and what it actually feels like to start working out again after way too long.
On the Path of Exile side, the conversation shifts into 3.28 Mirage and the evolving endgame experience. Tagz shares a deeper look at Atlas progression, voidstones, and the newly introduced influence system, breaking down how it works, how easy it is to miss, and why accessibility in endgame design still matters. The duo also reflects on Mirage as a league, highlighting why its simplicity and “stay in the map” design might actually make it one of the most enjoyable leagues despite not being flashy.
They also explore a bigger topic: burnout in Path of Exile vs Path of Exile 2. Is PoE1’s gameplay too stat-driven? Does PoE2’s more active combat solve that problem, or just introduce new ones? It’s a thoughtful discussion about what keeps players engaged and what ultimately makes them step away.
Short episode, lots of insight, and the usual mix of life, laughs, and ARPG talk.

In episode 336, Tagz and Wrecker talk about their first week of GGG's big changes to Path of Exile 1 via 3.28's Mirage. Builds, Atlas, league, progress...we actually talked about Path of Exile this week! (Thanks for tuning in each week! Love ya!)
After a week of real life chaos, new pets, spring break planning, and recovering from sickness, Tagz and Wrecker finally settle in for a proper Path of Exile discussion as they dive into their first full week with 3.28 Mirage. From early league impressions to endgame Atlas progression, the duo compares how their builds, mapping strategies, and league experiences are shaping up so far.
They talk about leveling speed in Mirage, the surprising amount of experience while progressing through maps, and how the Atlas changes are affecting progression. Wrecker experiments with Dominating Blow before switching builds due to visual overload and gameplay clarity issues, while Tagz pushes deeper into mapping and discusses Atlas strategies, voidstones, and boss progression. The conversation also touches on league stability, server issues, and how Mirage fits into the long tradition of Path of Exile leagues that tweak the endgame without completely redefining it.
Of course, it wouldn’t be Forever Exiled without some classic side tangents. Expect stories about adopting a massive puppy, spring break plans, Atlas frustrations, and the usual back-and-forth between two friends who have been playing Path of Exile for a very long time.
Whether you're grinding maps, planning your next build, or just curious how Mirage is feeling after week one, Episode 336 has you covered.
