Welcome to day 42 of the Path of Exile 2 Early Access Ladder Updates on the 18th of January 2025! The competition in Wraeclast has seen significant developments, and here's where the ladders stand today:
Drama: Musk vs. Asmongold Escalation Unveiled
Contrary to the image of a gaming aficionado, Elon Musk has been embroiled in controversy for allegedly hiring professionals to boost his gaming achievements in "Path of Exile 2," then presenting these as his own feats. This discrepancy between his claims and actions has fueled public disdain, with many in the community feeling misled by Musk's portrayal of his gaming prowess. The feud between Elon Musk and Asmongold intensified when Asmongold publicly accused Musk of being a "fake gamer," claiming that Musk's high-level achievements in "Path of Exile 2" were not self-earned but rather the result of employing professional boosters. Asmongold's critique highlighted a perceived hypocrisy in Musk, who presented these accomplishments as his own, leading to widespread criticism for his actions appearing to be "one thing and doing another," which has only amplified community disdain. This accusation prompted Musk to retaliate by temporarily removing Asmongold's verification badge on X and leaking their private messages, further escalating the conflict and drawing attention to issues of authenticity and platform power in the gaming community. This incident has not only highlighted issues of censorship and authenticity in the gaming community but also raised questions about the ethics of platform management by influential figures. The community is divided, with some seeing Musk's actions as petty, while others debate the authenticity of celebrity gamers.
Path of Exile 2 Standard Ladder Rankings – Day 42
Comparing today's Standard Ladder with yesterday's, heygyus#0416 with resurrectwo (Invoker) remains at the top of the ladder at level 100, showing no change in position, indicating stability at the top of the ladder. This consistency at the top teaches players the value of a well-tuned build and strategy, as heygyus#0416 has proven that once you reach the top, maintaining your position is about fine-tuning and perhaps effectively engaging in the endgame content. The diversity of the class distribution, with Invoker, Stormweaver, Gemling Legionnaire, Deadeye, and Infernalist all represented, suggests that multiple play styles can lead to success, encouraging players to experiment and find what works best for them rather than strictly following the meta.

Today, 마왕루야#1757 with 마왕오호우기 (Invoker) took the top spot on the Hardcore Ladder with some impressive gameplay. Congratulations to jhs940605#3459 with 빠른별일호기 (Infernalist) for entering the Top 10 in 10th place, marking a significant achievement. TackleTackleHeadbutt#7818 with ScopedogReborn (Stormweaver) and 서민수#4776 with 대세는활몽크 (Invoker) also saw improvements in their rankings, moving up to #4 and #6 respectively. The use of "Rest in Peace" for fallen characters such as SerjuanGhanima and GGGonCrimasbreak reminds us of the high risk involved and teaches players the value of playing cautiously.
For players, jhs940605#3459's entry into the top 10 serves as an inspiration, showing that with dedication, even newcomers can achieve high rankings. The lesson here is the importance of perseverance, adaptability and constant refinement of one's game. The diversity of class representation suggests that success isn't tied to a single class or strategy, encouraging players to find their own unique path to victory while understanding that every level gained and maintained is a testament to skill and survival in this unforgiving mode.
Path of Exile 2 Solo Self-Found (SSF) Ladder Rankings – Day 42
Comparing today's Solo Self-Found ladder with yesterday's, Stupy#5542 with Stupy (Invoker) remains firmly at the top with a level of 100, indicating no change in the top of the ladder. The ladder has remained in the same order as yesterday, with no promotions, drops or deaths, so everything is unchanged. The diversity in class representation, including an Invoker, Titan, Blood Mage and two Gemling Legionnaires, shows that different play styles can lead to success, encouraging players to explore different classes in their quest for personal achievement in this challenging mode.

Comparing today's Hardcore SSF Ladder with yesterday's, HumDaBum#1603 with HDB_oOps (Invoker) remains on top at level 99, indicating no change in the top spot on the ladder. Due to the death of Oskarmln#1292 (Rest in Peace waitingforedbuff), their ranking has dropped to 4th. As a result, Sarge2#0184 (sargetwo_LachlannLMAO) and Moemura Chan#4176 (PADJILOY) have moved up, while Elementling#2721 (Dhuny) is unchanged at 5th place.
This shift teaches players the unforgiving nature of hardcore SSF, where survival is crucial and a single death can significantly alter your standing. This scenario teaches players the importance of cautious gameplay, respect for the fallen, and that success in Hardcore SSF doesn't just mean reaching high levels, but maintaining them through intelligent solo play without the safety net of trading or grouping.
