They should've allowed players to start public instances. Was hoping they changed that with PoE2, but unfortunately they didn't.

Probably won't be playing it as much as I'd hoped, but it is what it is.

Game is awesome though and I like the gameplay over that of PoE1.
Currently 'stuck' on that Witch boss in Chapter 1, so I'll try again later.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Been working fine for me today so far. Got one disconnect but that's it.

Anyone on ps5 got the 300 currency yet?

Man I'm wasted this morning. I played until 4am, didn't see the time fly. This game is so good and pure crack
I had to end up turning the clock on in the UI settings lol (not sure if that's a setting on PS5)

Anyway, this game clicked for me a lot more than poe1. The mechanics are a lot smoother imo from what I remember

Same no hassle for no..

Only thing i dislike about this game is that it’s f2p

Mummies credit card payers will always have cooler looking gear.. defeating the point of fucking playing a loot based game.

Such a shame :(

But holy shit d4 is such a fucking dumb game
If you like it get a supporters pack with the skins in it. For example the king skin looks ridiculous in game. It’s not really F2P if you’re going to play it more than casually bc the tabs are semi necessary anyways.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Not a great start. Did the tutorial level, beat the first boss. Then the loading screen on the first town froze my PC, and I had to hold the power button down to restart it (ctrl+alt+del, alt+F4, etc. not working).

Anyone got their coins yet? Still not showing for me.

Mine are there and the costume stuff since I went for the next level up.

One thing to check is that your POE ID is the one linked to Steam assuming that's where you got it. Somehow in the server/website shenanigans last night I had 2 POE IDs and the game defaulted to the one not linked to Steam...

I noticed that Ctrl Alt Delete and opening task manager was enough to wake my PC from the unresponsive state it would go into. Try that?

Edit: oh. I see you said CtlAltDel did nothing - I haven't crashed that hard yet.

Heh, yeah same. I feel like I'm nearing the end of Act I and I just don't want this to end.

That said, there's 3 acts, then you repeat those 3 on a higher difficulty and after that comes the endgame which seems to have a TON of content. We could probably play the game in it's current state for a hundred hours and not feel bored once.

So I guess my next question is for the path of exile regulars. I’m assuming when playing multiplayer through the story etc the difficulty is increased due to more players in your party? I’d think it would be but haven’t read anything.

Hope there's some kind of parry for the warrior's block. Give me that and I'll play this until I die lol.

Does somebody know what those "weapon set" skill points mean? When allocating pasives I can choose to apply one of those, but I don't get the point.

Imagine a case where you wanted to use a fire based skill and a cold based one too, now you can spec fire nodes on the tree for one weapon and cold nodes for another weapon, and the tree will switch when the weapon does. Pretty neat!

Did i choose the worst class with Warrior?
Attacks are soo slow and meanwhile you have to dodge every second and interrupt your attack... also not feeling tanky at all.
Feels like i'm playing isometric Dark Souls.
Might be enjoying the game more rerolling another class... but which? Any recommendations?
PS: my warrior is Lvl 12 now and im in the hunting grounds now

I’m having a blast creating a melee monk mage, especially as a Fire Monk. It’s a unique and challenging character to build.

In your skill tree, you should be able to improve your attack speed. You can also get weapons in gems to improve that, but you’re never going to be the fastest attack class. That’s why I started my build with a monk. He’s very quick.

I had one bad crash but when I reconnected. It acted like a Remote Desktop connection and just unpaused from where I was. I’d pay for an offline version. I wonder how many people have told the developer that they want one. I’m downloading it on Steam Deck, so I can juggle between that and PS5.

Nah not for warrior.. at least not early on as far as i can see. It's all about stun and armor.

I'm playing warrior and beating most bosses first try, only the worm has given me real trouble so far and I'm nearing the end of Act I.

I recommend focus on build stun with normal attacks and skills and then using boneshatter, the aoe does a ton of damage.

Original agony of not getting a Bonfire in Souls was Diablo 2 Waypoints.
Before LoD the game was so difficult I used to dread opening each and every door.

Diablo-like should be difficult because we can grind.

I actually like the difficulty. Sometimes I feel like I'm a complete noob and maybe I am, dying more often then I'd like to, but I'm having a blast nonetheless.

Last time something like this happened was Demon's Souls on PS3.

Found my issue so it might apply to you. Looks like they merged my 2 accounts and my coins and purchases are stuck on my old account. Looks like its happened to quite a few people. You'll need to email support if you are in the same boat

Ikr and im rolling through the game without any issues so far. I noticed PoE 1 players tend to complain about difficulty, because they dont move at 300% speed and have to use more than 1 button :D

Im just loving how awesome the combat feels in this game and im palying it like a twin stick shooter on my merc with a controller. Kiting, dodging etc, just feels amazing
