2.INFLUX OF NEW PLAYERS - As we all know POE is more prevalant on PC so with POE2 hype there is going to be a larger PC player base wanting to play EARLY ACCESS - and with crossplay now a thing is this the reason why Playstation players CAN NOT PRE DOWNLOAD to make room on the servers for PC players (YOU KNOW ABIT LIKE THE "ACCIDENT" OF NOT BEING ABLE TO SIGN IN FOR SETTLERS) because there was a lot more higher interest from PC players?

Xbox virtually got the pre download the day of or day after GGG Live, we kinda assumed (but obviously not) PS5 would have as well. And,further assumed, that PC was being held back to stop the code being datamined but then PC got it as well.

This is entirely at the fault of Sony, not GGG, who have limited when you can pre download or buy supporter packs.
I am genuinely heartbroken for you PS5 players being held back from pre downloading and hence potentially being later into the ‘unified platform’ queue. Though as we have different access servers for each platform through our respective providers (direct,Steam,Microsoft and Sony) I’d guess we each get our own kind of mini queue into the main queue (if that makes any sense).

It’s both consoles I’m just on x box and don’t have it either. The lack of communication on the issue for consoles is ridiculous.

We have both pre download and supporter packs, have done for a week (estimate).
We are just waiting on keys now.

Nicely put man.

I've been checking multiple times a day checking the forums to see if we get some sort of explanation.

Just an acknowledgement of the concerns we have would be nice but the way the CM team handled the launch issues with settlers I have no faith.

I literally have, but that’s the ASD I have for you.

Btw love the Pratchet moniker :)

Sounds like yall need to join the poe console discord (not the official discord with a single ps channel). But the actual poe console discord with 7-8k members.

There's a GGG dev in there that gives us updates every now and then of stuff that doesn't seem to get "official news posts" of their own. He actively interacts on the discord and can be extremely helpful.

Most recently:

"All the keys are still rolling out, even PC keys are not fully out. There is a limit on how many can be sent at once.
I would expect console keys to arrive to people next week."

"PS5 shop should be working now"

Used to be an admin there, not if you paid me huge bundles would I go back.

But that is for the GGG staff quote :)

Hi guys.
Sorry about the lack of clarity and communication on this. We've been a bit preoccupied.
I'll try to answer some of the questions here but I expect there will be a news post about this.

And with PC players starting to get Notifications/Info that they have received Beta Keys for Early Access

I ask the DEVS/GGG Employee's what is the ETA on Playstation players receiving Beta Keys for LIFE TIME SUPPORT??

As far as I know the PC keys are still going out. There is a limit on how fast we can send those out.
All the console keys are ready and I'll try to make sure that they go out ASAP.

SORRY JUST TO ADD - something has just accured to me IF you need to buy a "Supporter pack" to gain access to the EARLY ACCESS ON PS5 if you cant download the game and then "enter the game" how are you ment to buy packs?

are the packs going to be available on PSN store come release or are you going to be able to download the game go to the menu and then the MTX store in game? I would love it if GGG could release info on this because this seems like a "set up" destined to fail on Beta release for PSN users

The supporter packs will be available for PoE1 on PS4 and PS5, PoE2 will have the same packs as Founder's packs/Editions of the game on the PSN. First 3 tiers can be purchased from PSN store and from in-game store, but upgrades can only be purchased from in-game store.

"

1.WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF CROSSPLAT FORM DOES THIS MEAN WE ARE ALL ON 1 SERVER? - reason i ask as PSN players cant download the game until Beta release that means PC and XBOX will already have prior Queueing? PSN PLAYERS BACK OF THE QUEUE?

We were able to reach a compromise and the Founder's packs should go live 24 hours before beta start. This will allow for pre-download on PS5, hopefully.

Great to hear from you and thank you, do we have an ETA rather than ASAP please?

I just want to know, on a scale of '1 to planetary annihilation upon impact', how hot this is coming for console, the lack of playtests and seeing the ps5 versions woes since that version launch has me skeptical. is there any footage/previews of the console version released yet?

i hate to be that guy, but im PS5 PS5 client and honestly i have not had a single problem with the PS5 app? im not sure what to say on this matter i know alot of people are complaining about it i wonder if ppl know PS5 versions isnt ment to be ran on a PS4 lol


but all jokes aside i have never crashed a single time i tell this to people TURN BLOOM DOWN TO 25%, TURN SCREEN SHAKE OFF, on top of this make sure that HIDDEN LOOT DOES NOT SPAWN (ticked in the options) to releave some proccessing on to of this take all MTX off like everything off the portal, off the players card, no ring effects, not crafting effect, no armour no weapon effect etc etc this could also be linking to maybe MTX on another character as well stripe them all down. load a Map up

then once you have done all this is the mapping feels better then start putting 1 MTX on at a time until you notice the "lag or crashes" then maybe record abit of footage and send in a ticket? this might help GGG pinpoint a potential problem,

ontop of this IF you are juicing you maps to screaming point remember some HIGH ENDS PC's crash and lag/freeze because of how much there are pushing the limits of the game.

apart from this im not sure what to say like i said iv had zero problems but hope you get sorted.

in gregards to POE 2 new game built from the floor up, SO im sure it might have its own problems but hopefully those problems are maybe just small things, and hopefully the crashes are a POE1 thing fingers crossed and we can only hope
