Incline Path of Exile 2 - now available on Early Access

[deama]

Bought cheapest supporter pack, game is downloaded and ready. Elite Core controller arrived yesterday. Waiting for tomorrow evening. If servers will be dead then I will play some more Stalker 2 and go to sleep earlier and try to play it on Saturday.

How'd you preload the game? On steam there's no option for me.

It should already be pre-loadable on consoles.

They'll make the preload for the PC client available on their website in about 3 hours I think. Not sure how that works with Steam.

Eh, I guess it doesn't matter, I can't play now cause it's basically my bedtime, and when I wake up is when it should fully unlock.
But when I wake up, I have to make food, eat it, and then go do the shopping for next week. So by the time I'm done it'll be 4-5 hours after I woke up.
Should be done by then.

That's 3 hours until PC pre-load, and 21 hours until early access starts.

Oh shit, I thought early access starts at 8AM for me (UK time), cause that's basically midnight time in USA.

[blessed king of longing]

why does it take GGG weeks to months to unlink steam accounts? why can't we just press a button in the control panel?

IM GOING FUCKING INSANE

 

[Sacibengala]

Steam Preload is on, bitches.

 

[Ismaul]

The Steam Precum is giving me serious blue balls.

I'm getting a shitton of work dumped on me today, won't be able to play properly this week and the next or else no Christmas vacation for me lul

PoE2's such a fucking tease

 

[Lacrymas]

As far as I understood, you'll play through the 3 acts, get to lvl 45, then through those acts again on a higher difficulty till lvl 65. Only after that you'll get to do endgame content. I don't see the point of doing the campaign a second time, but ymmv. I doubt I'll play this early access, I'd rather play Titan Quest 2 EA and wait for PoE2 to go free when it releases.

 

[Ismaul]

Well, looks like I won't be the only one getting blue balls:

 

[Perkel]

yeah this game will easily do 1,5 mil on ee launch day.

I doubt they will hit +500 000 more in one day. But after launch day it might get to those sale numbers or more. Especially if Musk plays and streams.

I heard musk already booked holiday for it, so he'll probably be playing, donno about streaming it though.

If he streamed D4 and he likes PoE2 I hope he streams it as well.

Cliffy B will have a blast:

 

[d1r]

Yeah. The servers will shit themselves tonight.

They canned the mobile port. Speaks volumes about optimization practices.

Had good laugh about ball lightning still not acting like a light source.
This will be a gift that keeps on giving.

- POE Mobile is on hold

 

[Israfael]

I really wanted poe1 on mobile.

Jonathan said so during QnA with Zizaran, if i'm not mistaken. He essentially said that they've moved the mobile crowd to console port because their proficiencies are similar

 

[Florian Gheorghe]

hope they will continue the development after release of POE2

 

[Yoomazir]

Who's hyped for those queue times?

Path of Queue hype!

Unlikely and Naive, they went all in on deferred lighting like Wolcen in some quest for fidelity and you can't even port that to mobile ( the GI stuff). Stuff that made PoE1 was pulled up by the roots.
For example you won't see polygon light shafts.
