Merc feels good, you need to get used to it. Try WASD if you're on keyboard.

Movement's not the problem, he just does no damage. Possibly becauseI've seen like 2 trash mobs before the devourer fight so literally no gear has dropped yet. It's a bit of a different paradigm coming from Poe 1, that's for sure. I guess we're supposed to just farm the lead-up areas more aggressively.

Don't worry it's still the very early game.
 
Queue went up from 3K to 10K because i pressed the circle button on my ps5 controller 😂😂😂
 
On the pro. Best mode is PSSR with 120hz. Damn. Super sharp running at the high 80 and low 90. Best game ever.

It's not free. I know I'll get push back but this is a free to demo game. If you like it you need to spend money and the $30 goes toward the essentially required stash tabs. Just get it.
 
None of my MTXs are supported. Don't have many apart from the exalted effects from the OG open beta supporter packs. Presume they will be ported over eventually.

Some of the classes are really cooked :( Mercenary feels like absolute garbage - takes like 20 minutes of kiting to deal with devourer
If the whole game is going to be like this I think it might not be for me ...

If you're coming from Diablo 3 and 4, this will be a big adjustment. Those are arcade style games. This is a much more difficult DRPG (Diablo RPG).

It's free if they just want to play the campaign tho, you dont need stash tabs for that
 
Defeated the first boss before you get to the camp and died after i killed him, all the loot disappeared after i respawned.
 
The "create Steam account" thing just times out. I kind of don't want to go to their website and make an account that way but maybe that's the play? (for example will I need to jump through that hoop anyway to claim Twitch drops?)

Also for "requested name", do these need to be unique? Just kind of curious if going for an obviously already taken name would be contributing to the woes I'm having in getting the account registered. Can't check the exact wording as now it says I don't have access when I run the game. RIP.

I guess. I didn't even beat PoE 1 and had to buy them. But I love trying out all of the characters, plus a disorganized material stash is gross lol. Also, I can't wrap my head around anyone who just plays the campaign in these games. It's a no life genre.

So apparently I need to go through these steps:



At no point did come up with me that I had to do this, I figured just activating the Steam key would be enough.

NGL, this is pretty aggravating to find out about this now, when the site is not working and the reason I can't even play the game.

At least they acknowledged the issue:

Getting some stutters on the worm nest. Doesn't seem to be graphics related, weird.
 
How did GGG make a better looting system with controller than Blizzard in EA? Picking up and sorting items on the ground is already better in this game. I can't get over this game. Rogers is my new Miyazaki.
 
started the playthrough with my wife in coop, we got to the first boss and the server crashed :( however the game is cool and the controller support is great so far
 
The devourer is already an interesting boss and it is only boss 2. Kicked my ass twice so far but still getting to grips with the timing of the warrior. The melee is soo much better than PoE 1.
 
Ooof first death against the worm boss. Glad that the game feels hard, at least for a newb like me. Diablo 3 was a cakewalk compared to this.

Could it be only for melee and ranged attacks, but stuff that slams the ground always hit you no matter what? I feel like I always take damage from the devourer's slam attack.

Got my first crash btw. At least the queue seems to go fast.

Yeah, I think you need to be clear for ground effects. I think I read that somewhere. But I saw a guy playing against a boss that had like a wave attack that wasn't a ground effect and he rolled right through it unscathed.
 
Could it be that minions revive them by themselves when they die? I mean i don't have a command for reviving with the witch.

Yeah. You set up your desired squad and then they just reappear on their own.
 
Ok so I got my first few currency things, exalted orbs ans orbs of augmentation. I heard those are more common in POE2 than in the previous game, so... What are you guys doing? Spending them or saving them for later?

Game is living up to the hype.

Feels great to play on a pad, is a decent challenge from the off, looks and runs amazing on my PC and is super fun. Got some good combos set up on the Monk. Hit level 7.

I used mine right away. Upgraded my club and armor. Worth.

Just started over with Monk cause I got a sweet staff. He plays sooo differently. I love it. Maybe I'll find something for my Warrior to kill the Devourer. Dude is tough.

Save at least a little for when you hit the next tier of items. But until them spend them, especially if you're lacking in gooditems.
 
Really liking sorc as of now. Some nice synergy stuff even at low level. Saw a lot of global chat saying they had stuttering but haven't really seen much of any on pc.
 
So are you locked into a class variant or can you change them later? Didn't even realize you had to pick one lol.
