it will be free to play, when it leaves early access. during early access you’d have to buy a supporter pack.

Which, tbf, gives you the amout you pay back in ingame currency, of which you will need at least some if you want to trade stuff / the MMO experience

they’re a much smaller team than most studios, particularly that big one that put out a far worse, far more expensive, far less engaging, simpleton, partially complete game that’s now sold to sheep in episodes. poe 2 is already grander in almost every way than its direct competitor

Only once it releases.

got 3 EA Keys lying around, whoever sends me a message with a joke gets one. if i get a lot of messages your joke better be funny :)
memes are also acceptable ;)

I don’t need an EA key, and I’m not really one for jokes, but for some reason you just reminded me of this wild article I read recently - you might have seen it; apparently there was a short-term art exhibit featuring Salvador Dali’s works at some museum a couple months ago. The arrtwork had been displayed for two or three weeks already when it was discovered - by a patron, no less - that every single one of the works on display were forgeries. Absolutely wild. Apparently nobody inspects the Spanish exposition.

Having no context, if I was that patron, I’d have not said anything if the exhibit was free.
Let people just walk around and enjoy a “Dali”.

Aw, if only I cared enough about PoE to download and log into whatever EA game manager is. Guess I’ll wait for the release in 6 years. Anyway nice gesture!
Dunstabzugshaubitze@feddit.org 3 weeks ago
no extra manager, EA in this case is early access and you redeem the code on pathofexile2.com

WASD controls are so much better, I’m in love.

I just want an offline PoE 1 rip. Is that too much to ask?
(Never gonna happen, I know I know)
Gladaed@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
Never gonna work.

How does it run on ps4?
wildcardology@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I don’t think it’s available on consoles yet. It’s still early access on steam.
KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 3 weeks ago
I bet they’re going to get a ton of sales off of this, because the campaign - especially the beginning of the campaign - is a masterpiece. Absolutely fantastic gameplay. It’s not until you get most of the way through and into the endgame that the cracks start to show, but oh boy do they show.
Strongly recommend that anyone who plays this this weekend and enjoys it give the reviews a good read if you’re considering buying it. Also, you should know that the game will be free to play once it’s out of early access.
