make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
my guess is the key total is combined platforms. would be an odd announcement otherwise.

Good summary video:
Here's the Reddit post with the skill tree viewer he mentioned.

Progression yes, but for now micro transaction like extra stash tabs or cosmetics are locked to one of the other. I hope that Sony changes this.

I am going to go in like I play Souls games. No guides, no advice, no looking for OP builds. Just playing, exploring, respeccing if I find a cool unique, etc. If I have so much trouble that I get stuck for a while, I may break down, but for now going in blind. Well, as blind as possible. I have watched some closed beta vids, but nothing that is sticking really lol.

Agreed. Feels like a game to be discovered and learned yourself.

They wanted to designed it in a way to be more accessible but still keep the crazy amount of depth. It doesn't feel like you "need" a guide to play the game to the same extend you "need" one in PoE1.

For anyone new, try to save your 300+ points for a stash tab sale. They are typically every 3 weeks according to this site, which would put it on track for Next Thursday Night.

Not for me.
I just saw that it becomes playable at 8pm German time.
I can't play this evening. So I'll wait another day.

I launched the client to see what it did. There were over 2000 people waiting in the queue on PS5. I wonder how many of them will keep that screen up until it launches.

Thank you for this. This game looks insane. What really sells me is the attention to player agency. When the Mercenary blasted a wall of ice onto the ground, then shot it again and the shrapnel also damages enemies and that is an intended strategy...that's the shit that makes games special.
I'm looking at Warrior and Witch.

400k. The hype is real.
Edit: they’re already preparing us for the inevitable disappointment. More than 1m bought access to PoE2 apparently….

More than happy to drop the money for this instead of waiting for it to go F2P. Supporting my fine Kiwi half cousins feels good.

Over 1 million key redemptions the day before. I have 3 friends who haven't even purchased it because they always just buy digital games the day of. I think it will hit 1mil+, IF GGG has the server capacity. It's the weekend and it's payday. Steam alone? I'll say 700k. Many players will be using the direct client, then you have console. This is GGG's Elden Ring moment.

I think they'll max their server capacity. I think the CEO said they load tested and the servers started buckling under testing at 1.6m, but real world is always worse so i'm gonna guess they'll start buckling around 1.2 concurrent and they'll hit that.

So how realistic is it to play more than one character? It sounds like the ascendancies lock you in at the very least?
I ask because for instance in Destiny 2 it's kind of expected that you play all three characters and the various subclasses as needed (though relatively few end up being meta).
In my Warcraft 3 and Starcraft 2 days I always rolled with random race and tried to get good with them all to varying levels of success.

It seems realistic, if that's what you enjoy doing. It all depends on what your goal is. If your goal is to get to max level as fast as possible, then of course playing multiple characters isn't going to help you there.

1.5 million concurrent players at it’s peak. People crave a deep ARPG and it seems the World has found PoE in the past week or two. I’m expecting 3 million sales first week. Johnathan and his team have done a great job promoting the game this past week.

I probably won't get to play today but that just gives GGG time to fix whatever server issues crop up.
Also I will be playing on steam deck so I do expect some level of jank from that alone but it is early access so I expect that going in.
I think my initial class will be Warrior into Titan while dual wielding 2H weapons as I want to see how much they have improved melee combat.

If Blizzard cant get their server right in a 99$ EA for D4, imagine GGG that IS waaaaaaay smaller them Blizzard and also GGG is giving your 30$ entry fee back as in game currency, so at the end of the day, you are paying 30$, they are giving It back to you, that makes the game actually "free"

You are paying to beta test the game and they haven’t hidden that fact. If you can’t handle that, request a refund and move on.

You don’t have to pay for anything. Early access is for people who want to help find bugs and crashes and provide feedback on balance. Wait until it’s free to play and save yourself the headache.
