Looks like you need to purchase a separate key for each platform. On the plus side, if this is your first PoE or if you haven't purchased stash tabs on PoE 1, you're going to need that $60 worth of mtx cash anyway.
As far as PC is concerned. It looks like you only need one purchase no matter what launcher you use. I purchased on Steam but I'll be able to download on path of exile.com and they are giving me a key to access it on Steam and Epic Game Store.
A cool feature that I just saw is that "couch" co-op will also work on PC. I feel like usually this functionality never works on PC. It doesn't work on D4, for example.

God damn that's stupid, I thought you were supposed to be able to link your account with your PS account for that reason. Well, that's frustrating but I guess I'll just play EA on PC and then when it comes out f2p I'll transfer my save over to the console whenever I want to play on TV. Fuck you Sony, you could have had a cut of my mtx but now it's all gonna be on PC.

Marvel rivals also comes out same day so if the servers for poe2 take a shit I’ll go play some of that.

My back up is Indiana Jones if it reviews well. Or Rivals, but good chance that shits the bed also though. That's FTP as well right?
(who am i kidding i'll just look at a log in screen hoping for the best all night lol).

My game plan:
Get on my PC 2-3 hours before severs go online on PC to try to get in right away.
Buy EA for $30 for PS5 as well so I can try on ps5 too to get on in case the servers are somehow separate or can disable cross play.
If all fails then go dick around on marvel rivals.

A lot of PoE1 is creating your loot. Very few builds need a specific unique and even then you can target farm them.
They are the kings of loot.

Regarding this? Anyone knows if the limit from PoE1 will be in PoE2?

Kings of Loot? Sounds good, man. I don't have enough experience in Path of Exile so i hope what you say is true.

Question:
If I buy stash space with the coins received will each character I create get their own empty stash in which to store stuff or are all my characters supposed to 'share' the purchased stash space?
I hope that make sense. (or how did this work in POE 1?)

Monk or Ranger, leaning Ranger as i watched a vid and the dev's said its their intention to make Ranger feel like your playing as Legolas.
But maybe Monk, or Warrior.... arrrgggghhh. Running out of time to decide.

Wait are you saying that PoE1 Stash Tabs are going to carry over to PoE 2?

In POE1, it depends on the league:
In Standard (softcore persistent) and non SSF (solo-self-found) then yes, they share the stash. Which is a ostensibly a good thing as you can twink out your other characters if you like.
In Hardcore and/or SSF then each character starts with their own. (*)
In Seasonal, non HC, non SSF(*) then each season starts with a fresh stash, but subsequent characters share that.
When a league ends (and presumably when a HC character dies? not sure, I don't play HC) then all of the stashes get moved to the corresponding Standard league. The overflow stashes appear in the retirement league as "Remove Only" tabs which means you don't lose any of your stuff, and it creates (many) additional stashes to hold all the stuff, but items can only be removed from them, not added. When all items are removed from a remove-only tab it disappears.
(*) Edit, actually it's been a while, I might be wrong about the SSF, I think it _is_ shared between characters for that season, but you just can't trade with other players. Either way you get the idea.

I haven’t spent anything on poe 1, never got into it for various reasons, but I am ready and if this is half as exciting as it looks I will probably buy storage and some other things if I like it.
When will I be able to try this? Haven’t bought early access or anything such.

From the FAQ:
"How will my stash tabs from Path of Exile 1 work in Path of Exile 2?
Stash tab purchases made in Path of Exile 1 will be available in Path of Exile 2, where relevant. For example, a special league-related stash tab might not be available in Path of Exile 2 as that content does not exist there.
We will be updating applicable stash tabs in Path of Exile 2, and stash tabs like the currency stash tab will hold different items to what it holds in Path of Exile 1.
Stash tabs become remove-only when logged into a different platform where you don't own them."

Friday if you buy a supporters pack, minimum spend $30.
Or wait 6-12 months when it comes out of beta and goes FTP.

Whatever the Necromancer is called in PoE. I think i will go with that.

”Beta”, huh?

Yeah, an actual proper beta, like BG3. The full release should be glorious.”Beta”, huh?
But for now this looks fantastic as is.

Has nothing to do with BG3, even if it's called "beta" it's already bigger than Diablo 4 on launch (and now), and bigger than what Path of Exile 1 was for years, when it wasn't on beta anymore.
Yes, there are 3 acts missing and classes, but even after it's full release, there will be more acts added just like what they did with the first part, so why not keep waiting then.
These 300 points would already cost 30$, so the value of the supporter pack this time is very good since you get a year early access for a game that already has a lot of content (and will get big updates each 3-4 months for sure)
With 300 points, if you buy when the stash are on sale (goes on sale once each 14 days, during the weekend), you should get the Currency and Maps tabs which are 180 points combined right now, then if you don't plan to use trade with other people, get the extra 6 tabs for 120 points and you'd be fine already, if you plan to use trade then i would personally add 10 more dollars and get the 6 premium stash pack and the Fragment one, which while not needed, it's a big QoL one.
There are other QoL ones you can get but these aren't nearly as important.
I'd expect Nov-Dec 2025 for the full release, which is when it'll go F2P, they probably won't be in a rush to release it, meanwhile they'll be releasing more classes and (i'd bet) new leagues probably too.
If you like what you see and you want to play it, i'd tell you to just get the early access, specially if you think you'll buy storage or cosmetics, since the EA already gives you these 300 points you'd get for 30$ already.

Ranger - I have a thing for archers in video games.

To clarify, I was thinking more along those lines. It looks better than most finished games.

Not sure I follow you. I was just commenting that its launching into early access and its a actual proper beta, just like BG3 did. Not, for example a COD style 1 month before launch type beta.

Oh my bad, i thought you were refering to the size of the game, since BG3's EA was just the first act.

I havent really been following the game but I will play it on release. I have tried to play PoE1 like 6 times throughout the years(maybe more). However, I just could never find myself that interested in the game. Being overwhelmed with the game was part of it but I just never found it all that interesting. Supposedly this will fix some of that right? Diablo 4 was alright as an experience and I loved playing last epoch more overall but it felt like it was missing something. In fact those 2 titles really had some stuff I really liked and would hope maybe someone makes a game with some of their ideas combined. I doubt PoE2 is that but just want to see if this is gonna be easier to get into for real vs the first game.

96.57 GB on XSS. I wanted to have it on a super portable platform for on the go gaming. I hope it plays at 60fps on the S. Main platform will be PC with a 4070ti so hopefully the gulf in graphics isn't huge lol. I hope it has a 1080p mode since that will be my main screen on the go anyway.
