Was going to play warrior, then saw the shield. I think it’s a terrible decision. 2H or GTFO. I’m not some low dps tank bitch.

Warrior has 2 subclasses, the warbringer that focuses either on shields or on using totems to hit enemies for you.

And the Titan which is the 2handed big bonker, and with the Keystone from the passive tree you can even use two 2handed weapons together for the gigabonk

So when you pick an ascendancy, do you have to choose one subtree or are you able to max out the entire tree?

Probably the entire tree. Probably cannot mix and match ascendancies. Which is sad since I think if you mixed the Witch ascendancies you could have a beefy demon mode.

Was looking for some pre-load info:

Even if you are playing only on Steam, you can connect your Steam to PoE Standalone account at ;

https://www.pathofexile.com/my-account/connections

After connecting, you can play on Steam or PoE Standalone client interchangeably whenever you want.

HOWEVER,

Steam security is much stronger with 2FA, so if you are worried about getting hacked (especially if you plan to purchase many MTX) I'd wait the extra 24h.

It is greyed out for me, for some reason.

From the start of the game, how soon before we can 2H?

An update is downloading. Ignore the lotion, I totally didn't whip it out in excitement...

Oh shit, I can start it and it plays the opening cinematic. So close..

 

[DavidGzz]

Some of the menus in Series S. Some pics aren't uploading..Looks like you can choose 30 or 60 fps with dynamic scaling.

2H like getting a two handed weapon, like level 1-2.

Getting access to a skill that's good with a 2h weapon, from lvl 1-2 probably, and there'll be more you'll be unlocking until around level 30-35 probably, so don't worry if you don't like the first one you find.

Getting access to the Titan ascendancy, from level 20-30 more or less for the first trial, until level 70-75 for the last one i guess, with 2 more in the middle.

To be able to do the full combo rotations, yea from level 30 to 50, when you get access to all the skills, the slams and the others that follow the combo, and when you get enough gem slots to put the passives and make it feel nice, don't be scared if your character feels slow and clunky the first hours, it gets better and better, at least in the first game it did.

 

[DavidGzz]

I surprised to see this on the console version. What other game lets you choose all of these render resolution options? Should be able to tweak it to get 60fps one way or the other.

So this is just in the menus running the opening scene in the background but on Series S at
1440p with shadows and global illumination, the fps is 49 and response time is 20ms. Should be fine for VRR displays.

At 1970x1108 54 fps and 19ms

And At 1440 p and no GI 60 fps and 17ms.

You can enable FSR and go from Ultra performance to quality too.

Pardon my ignorance. I'm not being lazy. I'm on their website now. I don't see an answer to my question.

When can I play this on PS5? Is there early access for it on console? Or is it only early access on PC?

All platforms get it at the same time. Besides Mac and Switch(*snicker*).

Got it. Thank you! I will fiddle around in the menus to figure it out.

Yes, everyone's getting early access at the same time, but the option to buy it isn't showing up on ps5 until the 5th

Does purchasing through the site grant a console key?

No

 

[gatti-man]

Don't know yet but I'd think so, you wouldn't want to have new players feel left behind on launch.

They won’t wipe. This is paid early access. There will be seasonal characters and then like a main realm like how Diablo does it or something similar is how I understand it.

 

[DavidGzz]

Does purchasing through the site grant a console key?

No, but if you buy on Xbox and PC your mtx money will be shared and you'll have enough for the needed stash tabs and material stash.

 

[Calico345]

The site is vague and so I bought a $30 support pack on their website. I thought I could get a console code that way. COD has done it like that in the past. Go ahead, let me have it. I'm a dumbass.

I suppose I will figure out how to do a giveaway topic for the key, assuming I am even eligible to host one of those topics. Man, I am just really having a stupid, shitty day.

Cant you refund it?

Cant you refund it?

I'm not really sure, and I am just so over today to bother with it. I'm not rich or anything like that, so I'd rather just be generous to someone who maybe can't get into the Early Access right now rather than deal with refunding shit. Lately I just keep running into headaches and issues with websites, orders, logins, etc.. I'm just over it.
