Path of Exile 2

December 6th... I'm going to abandon my wife and kids.

Just watched the 1h video. Looks really good so far, but I think I will hold off on it for a bit - still too many other things on my playlist.

Wow, that game is visually stunning.

To early access or not to early access, that is the question.  Is it nobler to iron out the bugs or better to wait for others to do it.

[FunkMonk]

That's fair. I've bought into the early access for $30. I think it goes free-to-play sometime next spring, maybe? So not too long to wait.

GGG have a decent track record with not releasing massively buggy updates BUT this is the first release of their biggest game ever so I'd expect some turbulence, especially in the first couple weeks. But I've been waiting for this stupid game for years so I'm all in now.

Yeah, I'll probably buy into early access but I don't expect the launch to go that smoothly.  Regardless PoE is one of the best deals as far as cost to time spent, so I don't mind throwing a bit of money their way even if the early access ends up being underwhelming.

[Syt]

I should be able for a free early access key, I think?  

DON'T JUDGE ME!

Supposedly early access might be up to a year, which is interesting if they plan to keep it gated for all that time.
