Okay so, how I understand keys to work

EA access is linked to your POE account, if you are in for whatever reason they do that in that account as this is under GGG control. This way you can play with their launcher.
Now, to be nice they also give you a steam key, has nothing to do with the EA access, just the client that's on steam (if you don't want to use the standalone launcher). Those steam keys actually need to be generated by steam, so they need to request them and get a certain amount, if they run out they have to wait for steam to give them more. If you don't get one before EA starts, you should still be able to use the standalone client from GGG themselves.

As for movement skills, I think only the bow ones have a lot of movement, the game is a lot slower than POE1, there is no zooming around, there are (at least were they already balanced) no instant onehits out of nowhere, its a lot more dodge and attack and move as a dance rather than a sprint.

Many skills you haven't see yet, probably belong to a class that isn't in yet (like dagger skills since shadow isn't there yet), they said when the class comes we get those weapon skills for all classes too then. (Golems also being one of these)

Auras like before are rip, they hated them, they made balance bs and limited most builds cause either auras are useless or need to be taken by everyone. Instead you get spirit (replaces mana/life reservation) and unique new "passive" skills you an activate with that. Like kills spawning ES bubbles, fire skills summoning the burning skulls etc. So there are "auras" of sorts, but from what I have seen they are impactful things that change your gameplay not "5% movement and 10% armor"

Again, lots of what you are missing there, will probably come (or not, who knows) when the fitting weapons and classes come. Remember this is early access, that said.

Yes the game is slower, yes its less braindead afk let me run 10 maps in 2 minutes and die 5 times to the boss, and instead is an actual game you play (not something your hands do while you watch a movie). Since that's not everyone's cup of tea they keep supporting POE1, so if you like that more you still have it.

Edit: They said in interviews that they were surprised by the amount of people willing to pay, so that's probably why they ran out of steam keys and need to get more first.

As for my topic, still trying to find out about other languages/translations lmao. How is there no support here to at least answer every few days.

Maybe they should have told people beforehand that the Steam keys are limited to 5000 because had I known I would have redeemed it earlier. The same thing happened with the limited-time Helldivers 2 skin where they ran out of keys. I want to play it on Steam to show that I played it on there and it would show up on my Steam account for the flex.

Movement skills are crucial, if you don't have these you're gonna move around the map like a snail which gets really boring and repetitive after a while. I want to move FAST. That is the main reason I will not start over with leagues and stick with Standard. Because I have an extremely fast character in Standard and anything slower just feels awful and doesn't warrant the time it takes to start over.

Auras are also important. So are golems, so are spells from PoE 1, so are movement skills from PoE 1.

If you start removing too much of what people liked in PoE 1, you're just making a game for a different audience at that point. Time and time again people said they don't like the game to be too slow or over-nerfed. You should at least have the OPTION to make your character fast in terms of movement and clear-speed, if that's not in the game then what's the point of working towards a build in end-game?
