[deama]

you get points

is this even good deal? will it allow you to pay all the stash and other qol extorsion fees?

You get 300 points on early access purchase, so not too bad.

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.

quoting with it being at 450k in less than 2 hours and game is not even playable yet.

It baffles me how this always happens with game launches. Can't they rent out some extra hardware for the launch? Surely the cost would be more than offset by the extra customer satisfaction when everything actually works for once. And it's not like they had no idea it'd be such a large crowd, they know exactly how many keys they gave out.

GGG never had big release. POE1 build ever time and each new patch launch was easily predictable.
GGG prepared for 500k users with up to 1,5 mil contingency just in case.

Game on steam alone is already at 500k people so if you add consoles to that and their own launcher then no doubt real number is like 700-800k easily.
And that's just 2 hours after launch with people waiting. The moment game goes playable that number will blow up more across 1 mil easily.

I think my 1,5 mil prediction is conservative. If servers allow it it maybe it can hit 2mil concurrent on sunday.

Might need a client update:

Servers fucked. As expected. Also, game version 0.1.0. This is going to be a very very very long EA.

The 0.1.0 doesn't mean much. The first version is the major version number. It is 0 probably to indicate the game is in early access. The minor number being 1 only means that this is the first iteration of EA. The last 0 probably indicates that since some release candidate became 0.1.0, it has not been changed. To be clear, it doesn't mean we have only 10% of what is needed for 1.0.

 

[deama]

Well, this went to shit, literally have to go to sleep in a bit.
I'll try tomorrow morning, hopefully they'll sort it out in 8-10 hours.

 

[TedNugent]

Glad I didn't pay for anything yet lmfao

Wait til dust settles I guess. No rush to get early access to a fucking beta test after all.

You dumbfucks saying its a launch, its explicitly early access for testing prerelease. Fucking gamer chimps with your Doritos.

Though you probably won't need to buy any for a while, if you already bought tabs for poe1. They should carry over.

 

[Gerrard]

Literally lost 100K players in 30 minutes, impressive.

Probably the european players dropping off.

 

[Jaedar]

People getting excited and D1P an online game. Never changes.





Well, except this time, they got people to pay between $30 and $540 USD to get in to a "free" to play game.
Very monocled. Very based.

Well you get points and MTX and access is a bonus :D

Do you even get MTX points if you just buy the 30 dollaridoo ea access?

 

[Israfael]

So, none of my MTX work, like most of the gems are missing ( i wanted to play sword something gemling, but no luck i guess), servers crashed for 2nd time

they all are back, servers worked for like 5 seconds and went down again. They are clearly waiting.

 

[Israfael]

Yes, 300 of them

Not the worst deal then, but there have been better I think.

 

[Sunri]

[tritosine2k]

Ghazzy disconnected just as that garbage Hillock stand in boss hit the ground and didn't even get the loot.

Garbage Hillock what's next, AIDS Skrillex

 

[Israfael]

Some currency tabs available:

"All your MTX will be shared beween games"

 

[Peachcurl]

I can't even get the client to start

 

[aloeh]

Started to play, made my witch then started the usual HUE BR and the game crashed.

The only thing I got from little time played is that you can direct your minions anywhere you want.

 

[Caim]

Reminder.

 

[Alex]

My stash tabs are there.

 

[mediocrepoet]

Here's a dumb question: stash tabs - just like extra inventory in your bank? Why are they so necessary in this game? Do you actually need to accumulate that much shit?

 

[Mark.L.Joy]

You need premium tabs if you want to trade and you'll probably need specific tabs for specific item with low stack sizes, like maps, but we don't know yet.

Like trade with other players? Or is there an AH or something?

The map tab is at a point in PoE that it's actually a negative to have. The only needed tab is the currency one.

You need premium tab to post sells to the trade site automatically, otherwise you can buy and sell without restrictions.
