Does it have to be the new character name or can it be an existing character that ties the account to the guild?

Guilds are account-wide but for some reason, when inviting, I need to use the character name.

Nice
Going for a monk again, this time 'Hollow Palm'. With deflect & evade, melee might be viable for much longer. My first monk I changed from melee to chaos ranged at about lvl30 and played til I reached endgame at 69. Was fun, but I'm much more of a melee player and am eagerly awaiting swords and daggers with more skills than we have right now.
Quarterstaff isn't my style, but with Hollow Palm it should be interesting to use these skills again. Otherwise I don't know what to play, clubs and maces aren't my thing, neither is minion play or sorcery really. With the changes to crossbow play, I might consider testing Merc again.
Looking forward to playing probably tomorrow morning or Sunday. PS Portal should arrive today or tomorrow and I'm hoping the work WiFi is up to snuff, then I'll have enough time for this league to test some different classes/weapons/skills.

No, but this weekend is free to all. At launch there was a queue and that cost $30. There is a lot of hype for the new changes plus there is no barrier to entry for both console and PC so I expect some wait time unless GGG got a lot more server space.

I don't think we'll see as many people as that launch night until maybe 1.0. Although there does seem to be a fair bit of interest around this drop so you never know.

I read they also upgraded a bunch of servers so I'm hopeful things go fairly smoothly (who am I kidding).

Never had a launch that was smooth and frictionless.
I mean, poe2 early access launch was acceptable. They are very quick to react, restarting their authentication servers when a problem arises so that it is quickly resolved instead of just winging it and leaving half the player base unable to log in again because the server is saying you are still in game (looking at Blizzard Diablo 4 launch). The downtime at poe2 launch was minimal, and you could always log back in after half an hour or so.
And I'm not expecting launch numbers with 0.3 even though they will have the second highest player count since then I suspect given that its a free weekend (good test for their beefed up infrastructure I guess). The expectations that this patch shakes things up are pretty widely spread

I dropped off since January. It's probably better to start over or will I be able to pick up where I left off. I feel like my Monk build has changed so much I wouldn't know where to start.

For the first time in PoE2 we have a league, which means you would miss some content If you dont start over, but If you dont have much free time and are Just planning to play a few hours it might be better to play on your old char.

Not sure what to league start yet, feeling like going some totem build, might follow the tatiantel1 one, or maybe some deadeye which is fun one

Well that's the thing, I never finished the campaign.

It was in before... Have you seen endgame vids of PS5 performance? Game is not free, PoE had shoddy optimisation too on console. Of course they are developping content but at least they should make sure it's goddamn playable..

Click to expand...

No idea about that, I play on PC.

Sorry its not running so good for you. I think they said they have a bunch of optimisation in this patch.

But its an EA game, warts and all. Poor performance is par for the course. Optimisation usually happens last.

Not my footage, that's from their official forums thread bitching about performance on regular PS5, I play on the Pro (I have both) but it's barely better.. They've said in a interview they worked on performance so hopefully we see some gains and they bring PSSR back.

Start fresh. A lot has changed and it'll be less confusing to start from the beginning.

We need any guild supplies/tabs/etc? Usually the start of a new league QoL items go on sale so if we are short on anything let me know.

Very generous of you. I think we are good but I played SSF in 0.2 so im unsure where we are at. We did have loads of space due to donations from loads of people.

Rentahamster Rentahamster Is the king of guild stash tetris, he will know better.

I bought a couple more quad tabs last season so I'm pretty sure we're good on tabs, but I'll double check when I start the game later.

If anything, we will most likely need more guild space. I was going to clear out some people who haven't logged on since 0.1, but I decided not to do that yet in case there are some people who were waiting until now to jump back in.

Thought about space the other day. Think the best course of action is anyone who hasn't logged in for a while and doesn't this weekend is good for the chop. Can always be added back in later if they so require?

They actually ddos themself to make sure everything will be ok

It is though. It's far from perfect but it's not an unplayable mess either. Of course ymmv if you're highly susceptible to performance problems.
I hope I won't be accused of defending GGG as some on here are just delusional with these topics, but give them time. Their track record isn't good on console with PoE1, but 2 is much more mainstream oriented... And since they pivot with some hardcore ideas and ideologies they had over the years (trading, not nerfing in the middle of a league etc) they might have the bigger picture in mind, which of course includes optimisation/performance. If they're just not capable then we're shit out of luck ✌🏻

Free players can't preload so I'm sure it will be fine at launch. It wasn't even that bad if I remember rightly at 0.1

I don't think ill be paying until tomorrow anyways myself so good luck anyone who is.
 
geary said:
I wonder if they will release it mid-patch, in 0.3.5 or something
Click to expand...
I don't think so. I think they said 0.4 is endgame focused so the Druid will be a nice addition on top. Looks absolutely wild from what bits I've seen of it.

Crazy that this was 2 years ago and its still not ready lol.
