Incline Path of Exile 2 - now available on Early Access

[Caim]

This will be f2p in how much time? Or I can buy now and start playing for 30€ right? I played PoE1 when it came out in 2012 for a few months and that was that. Is this one better?

Once the game comes out it's f2p with no gameplay behind a paywall. If you spend 30 bucks now you get 30 bucks of in-game currency you can spend on cosmetics or expanding your account with things like a wallet tab for the various currencies you acquire throughout the game. If you buy any of these they also apply to PoE 1, so you get two for the price of one.

I haven't played 2 but people seem to really like it so far. The issue with 1 is that it is quite bloated with a variety of mechanics that can make the game difficult to get into as a new player, and as a new game 2 is much more streamlined.

As far as I know, yes.

Consoles ruin everything

You already have, just login with your poe 1 account.

 

[Sacibengala]

The only thing I didn't like is that the maps are exactly the same as POE1. Not a big issue for this type of game, but I think I'll burn out faster because of that.

The Redeemer and Anti-Woke God has spoken. Instant GOAT!

So far PoE2 is the love child of Ruthless and Archnemesis.

Some currency tabs available:

"All your MTX will be shared beween games"

Here you can see some tabs available, I have all of the specialized ones except one for flasks in PoE1, so obviously not all of them were added to P2 (yet)

I can't find a configuration to have a clear image quality, it's all too blurry. I'm playing at 1920x1080.
Besides that I'm liking this, they streamlined the things that didn't click with me in the first game.

 

[deama]

Anyone know if it's worth updating nvidia drivers? Any worthwile performance increase?

Use the AMD upscaling option and get sharpness to above 0%
Or if you playing on PC with NVIDIA there should be NVIDIA option as well

I am playing witch for my solo run, went minions focus first but they are mostly useless at start just like in PoE1 so I am going to just use them as meat shields while I play as Essence Drain. Still in Act 1. I am enjoying the game alot. Exploring maps fully and talking to NPCs to see all stuff they got to say in my first run.

I can see how boss battles (also a lot of non boss enemies) are deadly and irritating for melee characters. So far I only found one anti ranged ability (ghost witch wife casts bone prison on you and I could not do enough damage go break it before she casts next very damaging attack inside it).

I would say nobody should play pure melee in act 1 or until they can get good tanking gear and good damage weapons. Even in my Couch Co-OP run where I am monk I just spam Glacial Cascade from range and use melee attack of the staff only if someone gets close.

It's probably anti-aliasing.

Did you disable upscaling? I think it's enabled by default

 

[BlackAdderBG]

The woke writing is annoying for sure. Everything post-PoE1 Dominus with couple exceptions is terrible, so far after half of act 2 PoE2 is even worse. The art guys on the other hand are still coomers.

Hmmm, will try that later, I'm not sure if I selected the no upscale option.

I believe, but you'd have to check to make sure, you already have them in the beta.

When does it come out?

Soon (TM)

 

[frajaq]

I think the only unfair thing in the game so far is those Rare Mobs with Siphoning Mana modifier, if you're playing Melee lol

Considering all the censoring that went on in PoE1 don't expect this to last until release. Globe girls.

I love that even battles vs rare class enemies are more like mini bosses and you need to also take those fights seriously or you will die.
What I do not like is that when you die whole level seems to reset. I already lost one uncut skill gem drop due to dying before I could pick it up.. I can see topics about mirrors or other high value items being lost in the future.

Git gud would be my recommendation for situations like that.

Oh boy if only, wait until you start getting all the elemental exploding mods now with the chaos lotuses from Affliction. Temporal bubble is another that is suppose to be anti-ranged, but manages to be way harder for melee skills with 2 seconds attack time. All in all archnemesis on steroids as you are guaranteed to be stunned all the time probably until 70-80 lvl when you can get some HP and stun threshold. Mace melee so far is way worse than any time it was in PoE1.

Yup, hate that soulslop shit. Zero design reason to be in the game besides it's "souls-like". It takes the decision out of the player hand, if I wanted to farm mobs I can reset my instance myself, not to mention it promotes cancer gameplay of loot pickup rushing.
In Last Epoch it was suppose to be a bug (monster respawn on town portal) and most people hated it.

So dying has an actual consequence? Sounds like incline to me. I predict that getting changed when some streamer loses a mirror though.

Sounds like melee, as usual, is the option that is more fun and active but way less effective due to lazy monster/encounter/arena design.

How is the crafting/currency situation? Does the game require a loot filter? Do items still get cluttered up with utterly retarded mods like +light radius and 1% fire resistance?
