Btw, I wonder if you're locked into a certain input if you start the game with it. I use the mouse to click start game and then couldn't switch to my controller. It just wouldn't detect either my Dual sense or Xbox controller in game.

 

[clarky]

So while we wait, what’s everyone playing? Decided to try a ranger

Monk. Got my lightening slam, feels good.

Think i may wrap it for the night and wake up in a few hours see if things are better. This was totally expected so all good.

 

[nikos]

Should be a Queue of the Year award.

 

[Luipadre]

Dude, i was in, made my char.... jumped off the cliff and boom DC. Biggest cocktease

 

[DavidGzz]

I went warrior. Looks very fun, hope the combat feedback is as good as it looks.

It's amazing on PC. Not so much on Xbox. Like terrible on it. How did it feel on PS5 for anyone who got to play?

 

[Shubh_C63]

Well its the first 4 hours of a potential juggernaut in EA.
Shits gonna touch 600K+ in the next 24hrs it seems.

Is it worse than Overwatch 2 launch queues ?

Servers are down again, so there aren't any queues really.

What is the pet class for this game? I want a ton of pets.

Witch can do pets, it's kinda like Necro in D4 if you played that.

Witch. Specifically the Infernalist which can summon a hellhound.

Technically, any class can do pets since any class can use any skill from any other class.

The "class" is just a guideline. The Witch class does start the closes to minion passive nodes, though, so that's why it's probably the one you want to go with if you're playing minions.

Watching this thread and i think the decision not to take the day off of work today was a good one lol

They said for now it's one input only. Eventually will be able to use both at the same time

 

[clarky]

Good luck ladies and gents. Hope you get some game time if you are sticking at it. Its been emotional.

 

[Rentahamster]

working again

edit maybe not. Just maint.

 

[Luipadre]

Yeah, the input lag was terrible in Xbox. Unplayable.

oof my friend just told me that it felt terrible on PS5 pro too. Hopefully they will fix it asap whatever the cause is

 

[clarky]

 

[TintoConCasera]

Ooooh authenticating! Here we go.

 

[DavidGzz]

Once I got a second skill, it was cumbersome to use the second one with WASD but I didn't want to back out to the menu for fear of a disconnect.



In queue again, guys! Join the rollercoaster.

 

[Antwix]

back in the queueeeeeeeeeee

 

[Rentahamster]

9800 in qweee

 

[Tygeezy]

Ok, to get 60fps on the Series S, I have to play this with it looking like the first image. The bottom is on my PC. Goddamn. No way I'm playing with it looking that bad in comparison at half the frame rate. Can't believe I traded my X for an S to my daughter. Bad deal. How does the menu look on base PS5? Looking forward to DF's review.

I recommend…… using your series s as a moonlight client to stream your pc games

 

[TheMan]

how does the game feel on console with the pad?

 

[DavidGzz]

Hold!....we in

 

[TintoConCasera]

Third time's the charm, right?

 

[Rentahamster]

I'm in boys! (again lol)

 

[clarky]

Hang on another queue you say, don't mind if I do.

 

[Luipadre]

People reporting awful input lag

goddammit

 

[Herbspiceguy]

Keeps telling me I don't have early access access

 

[TheStam]

I'm now stuck on that weird Steam account linking process and can't do it because their website crashed hah.

It's an early access release, fair enough. Seems like this really is blowing up

 

[SunnySideGuy]

Ehh, I'll wait until F2P I think lol

 

[M.W.]

Steam reviews are so hive mind lol. "Very positive" reviews, fuck you. Game doesn't work, yet any other game like this would be "Overwhelmingly Negative".

 

[DavidGzz]

Can confirm, controller has no input lag on PC, was worried about that. Super responsive.

My own father selling shit to me for 50 times the gold I have so far. Thanks, pops.

This is amazing now that I can play uninterrupted. Famous last words...

 

[TintoConCasera]

Loved that first boss fight. The hitboxes and how they match the animations felt perfect.

 

[DavidGzz]

Someone has the chimera pet. It looks amazing.

 

[Inviusx]

Going to jump into this today as my first time POE experience. I can definitely sense the hype from you OG POE fans who have obviously been waiting for this for years, i hope you all have an awesome time and this is exactly what you've been waiting for.

 

[DavidGzz]

I'm going through all the dialogue options. I like the voice acting. Too bad I gotta see Saladass and Whoppernoonion running around breaking mah immersion.

 

[Vince_H_]

I have an insane amount of screen tearing on ps5pro

 

[clarky]

Just killed the worm. Yeah this is fucking awesome. Good bye life.

 

[Marlenus]

Warrior is interesting so far. Need to get used to the twin stick controls but the melee does feel a lot lot more involved. Timing and direction seem to actually matter.

Only small issue is that it is hitching, frame rate seems smooth so probably just server lag.

Another great little bit is the extra info on the passive tree. Really does help give you an idea of what a node will do for your character so you can make more informed decisions.

Not an OG fan. I thought it was ok, but the combat sucks. This game is like what D2 was to D1 but even better. This game will make a legion of new fans.

 

[ItachiSWE]

Hah got in but no sound… could stand it for a few minutes then restarted, now 9k in queue

 

[Herbspiceguy]

Keeps telling me I don't have early access access

So apparently I need to go through these steps:

1- go to website www.pathofexile.com. link your steam or epic account if you didn't linked yet. if you don't have any account create one for linking.
2- click on home -> my account
3- click on po2 early access to check if it's status
4- if it says "Your account does not have access to Path of Exile 2 Early Access. Bribe a friend who has a spare key or purchase now." but there is a key below called "Path of Exile 2 Early Access Key" and the key. Then you should go to "Shop" -> "Redeem Key" and use the key.
5- if you don't have any keys displayed. Try to switch account. Check if there is another account the key might be sent to another account you have.

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.

 

[rochet]

Right now for me it is saying I dont have the early access game. I bought through steam, i guess alot of steam users are having same prob. I managed to link my account today, too.

 

[DryvBy]

I'm in and I am IN FREAKIN' LOVE!!!! This feels like Diablo 3, or what I imagined D3 becoming. I love D3 for what it is but I felt it was more like a Gauntlet Legends style RPG than a Diablo game, mixed with Borderland's loot. PoE 2 is excellent. I'd say even if you like D4 a lot, give this a shot when it's f2p.

 

[Duellist]

Not sure if it’s same for you guys but I bought the first pack and when I go to store it doesn’t say I have 300 coins like I should. Any ideas?

 

[Rentahamster]

Got stuck on a loading screen and now i'm at 8K queue again

 

[Mikado]

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 ...

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

 

[Marlenus]

Hmm. Did not realise I went that crazy with stash tabs in PoE. Have 64 premium tabs, all purchased when it was premium or standard tabs. Also have a currency tab. No idea what I will spend my 300 coins on yet.
