About the show

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!

ExileCon 2026 Recap!

1 hr 34 min

We're recording Episode 369 of Forever Exiled across Canada and New Zealand, straight after ExileCon 2026, and apparently we need time for two forever games now! We compare watching the keynote from home with being there in Auckland as we unpack Grinding Gear Games' biggest Path of Exile announcements. For Path of Exile 2's December 1.0 release, we get into the Duelist and Shadow, the Knight's customisable Squire, and our excitement for Acts 5 and 6 without digging into story spoilers. Then there's Conquerors of Wraeclast, a league that somehow puts army building, battlefield strategy and a community-wide faction war into our action role-playing game. We talk about why that combination has us so excited, where all the menu management might get in the way, and the quality-of-life changes we can't wait to try, especially the death recap and switching between controller and keyboard and mouse. Path of Exile 1 wasn't about to let its sequel have all the attention. We dig into 3.30: Covens of Umbra, the rebuilt Atlas passive tree, new pinnacle encounters, scarabs being removed, Mirage going core, and the loot overhaul that has us both planning another league start. Less junk on the ground and more meaningful drops sounds like a pretty good reason to dust off our loot filters. We compare the freedom of PoE 1's endgame with PoE 2's Atlas changes and explain why this weekend changed our expectations for both games. Along the way, we've got travel chaos, convention stories, racing finals, developer Q&As, and a reminder of how welcoming this community can be when we're all in the same room. Huge thanks to everyone who made ExileCon such a special experience. Now we just have to work out when we're going to play all of this.

One Week to ExileCon 2026!

55 min

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

50 min

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

52 min

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

1 hr 15 min

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!

1 hr 4 min

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?

1 hr 6 min

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

1 hr 7 min

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.

0.5.5 is out this week. Is it a Path of Exile league? Is it a PoE event? Who cares! Fresh economy means, "Let's try again!"

With the reveal of 3.29 Curse of the Allflame under wraps, it was difficult to talk about anything except for sockets! Obviously there's lots to discuss and experience, but sockets! GGG, SOCKETS!

Another big patch by GGG and lots of good fixes! This week both of us wanted to take our characters "to town" and crush our desired content. Path of Exile 2 is tons of fun for us right now, there's just a couple of walls in the way, but c'est la beta vie. 0.5 Return of the Ancients keeps changing in great ways and we can't wait for what's to come, both soon and not.

Capture the Flag

1 hr 18 min

This week GGG released patch 0.5.4 for Path of Exile 2 which reinvigorated the desire for new characters, expanded some theory-crafting, and created some new excitement for what's to come! We are both at very different stages of the game for different reasons, but PoE sure seems to be monopolizing a lot of our time. Thanks for being here and for your listens each week!

You Can't Get Rid of Us that Easy!

1 hr 36 min

In episode 350 (350!) GGG tried to scare us away with patch 0.5.3, complete with crashes and XP reductions. But we're having too good a time to be so easily swayed! Actually, just in case you don't know, 0.5.3 was a very positive patch, loaded with all kinds of improvements! And that's on top of the Path of Exile 2 that we already couldn't put down! We hope you're enjoying Trials of the Ancients. Thanks for listening! We love your faces.

Funnest Week Ever

1 hr 22 min

For all you IRL haters, Episode 349 is lots of Path of Exile talk. We obviously do the IRL catch up, cuz, we know you secretly all love it, but just know, our monologues are thanks to a weed eater being a total jerk. It's not our fault, m'kay? We hope you're all enjoying PoE 2 as much as we are! GGG's big patch this week came out JUST as we started recording, so that'll be better referenced next week. You're all fantastic. Love ya!

It's episode 348! We've been in GGG's new 0.5 Rise of the Ancients patch for a week now and we've both put a ton of time into it. One person's mapping and one person's campaigning (you'll never guess who's who). Path of Exile 2 has gone through lots of ups and downs so far and its young life, and hopefully Runes of Aldur keeps pushing it in a positive direction. As always, thank you so much for your listens.

PoE 2's 0.5 Return of the Ancients Reveal

1 hr 6 min

Wow! There is not enough time in episode 344 to talk about all the crazy content revealed in the 0.5 Return of the Ancients Path of Exile 2 reveal. No wonder they're taking a couple of extra weeks to iron out the wrinkles. With GGG applying they're biggest update ever to one of their games, we fly through everything that comes to mind about what we've heard. PoE 2 is getting some hefty content, both tomorrow, and in the days to come. December! It's exciting to be a part of it! Thanks for tuning in and hanging out this week!

Supporting Scions

54 min

It's episode 341! Hazaa! Horray! It's almost May! Our lawns are great, our pets are chill, our 3.27 private league is starting up, Path of Exile 1 and 2 are on our minds, and GGG's got some tempting MTX on sale. Those darn portals are just the best. This week, we get what we get and we don't get upset. Well, I mean, we could. But what would that do? Thanks for tuning in! Love ya! Episode 341 of Forever Exiled brings a very Canadian twist to the usual chaos, as Tagz and Wrecker kick things off with a Canada Day episode full of plaid, maple leaves, and the kind of life updates that somehow turn into full conversations. From family life and kids growing up way too fast to gardening plans, pets settling in, and even neighbourhood bear sightings, this episode leans heavily into real life before swinging back into gaming. There’s a great mix of stories about parenting challenges, outdoor projects, and trying to balance everything while still making time for games. On the gaming side, the focus returns to Path of Exile, with discussion around their current private league, build choices, and the always-fun theorycrafting of what skills actually feel good to level with. The duo debates early-game skills, Scion builds, and why some abilities just never feel great no matter how many times you try them. There’s also some honest talk about game pacing, burnout, and the excitement of coming back fresh when you intentionally take a break. As always, it’s a mix of laughs, randomness, and real talk, with just enough Path of Exile to keep things grounded.

Simplifying Time

1 hr 1 min

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.

Early Last Epoch Comparisons

1 hr 4 min

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.

D's, T's, and Rating 'Fun' Trees

41 min

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.

Accessibility? Yes Please!

39 min

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.

Week One of 3.28 Mirage

1 hr 0 min

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.

Atlas Dreams

It's episode 330! You know those times when you can't decide what's better, or why, or even what your preference is regarding something, but you have lots to say about it anyway because you really care, but you really aren't sure what would be the right path or direction to take because, though you know what you want, you can't really put a finger on it? Ya, same with us this week. Love ya! (Path of Exile came out with their 3.27 Phrecia this week. We have our private league. And GGG is cool.)

Private Theory Crafting Attempts

1 hr 8 min

It's episode 329! It was a slow week in GGG Land, which means a slow week in Path of Exile Land, but they did announce a Phrecia Event. So, that's cool.

Lots of DH Stuff and Lots of Hope

59 min

It's episode 327! You know what that means? We don't either. But, we played lots of Path of Exile 2 this week, so that's good. We both tested the boundaries of our love/hate relationship with the game, but c'est la vie. Well, actually, it's c'est la beta vie. GGG keeps making the changes they need to to keep their game ticking, and we keep looking for new ways to enjoy ourselves. Have a great week everyone, and thanks for listening!

Sweet Therianthropic Skills

DON'T be judgey. OF COURSE we know what that means...and of course we knew long before the episode started...and of course we didn't learn of the above term while in the process of recording this episode. BUT! If episode 320 taught us anything, it's that GGG has us quite hyped for the Druid in Path of Exile 2's 0.4.0 The Last Druid. Nope! Wait! It's 'The Last OF THE DruidS! We're just 3 weeks away and our questions and hopes are all hype! May the loot be with you.
