WDYM NO PRELOAD ?
" I get your point but see it from my or the other guys pov. I love poe1 its one of my most played games out there. I honestly think the only f up they ever had was archnemesis so seeing how they deal with this situation or rather the 2 situations is sad. I want to play with everyone at the release and not start from behind. Economy is a big part in this game, I know alot of ppl play ssf too but im a sc trade andy and a day late means most of the time your at a really huge disadvantage |

I do hope that they'll let us pre-download the client atleast 4 hours before the launch. My internet is garbage eh.
And if it's few hours before launch who really cares about the leaks anyway... |

Having no-preload before EA launch completely sucks for me (this is not confirmed though).
With my internet speed to download PoE 2 EA (100GB++) will take like 24h or more. I am sure there are more ppl like me that have slow internet. The main reason the Dev stated of not having pre-downloadable client is because of "data-mining". Hear me out! I don't Care about Data-Mining. Mather of fact i don't even watch content that show major spoilers (i have seen some footage for Act I and thats about it). I dont want my first playthrough to be spoiled. I just want to pre-download the game (at least 2 days before 6th) so I will be in 50k LOGIN que like everyone else ... |

A lot of people have been waiting for the game for many years, so yes, a few extra hours that you have to spend downloading it can be annoying

If you are running through steam and your at work, why not just download it with the steam app while at work? I do it all the time.

If there is no preload period, it would suck, yeah. But I've been waiting since I bought in. Another day, is inconvenient but not life altering. Maybe I'll just download it overnight and get a full Saturday play (Zog willing and the servers don't crash).

" the economy in Path of Exile 1 is largely solved. The Economy People know what most things are worth, there's no real surprises. The economy in PoE2 is going to be a chaos vortex of insanity. Nobody will know what the value of anything is, or what the "standard" trade currencies are, or any of that. A single day's lost ground will not lock you out of the economy in PoE2. That, at least, isn't something you'll need to be concerned over. |

finally my 900mbs/s internet can shine

As a resident of a poor internet country, I will be pretty sad if there is no preload. I always enjoy being apart of the early flood and seeing the 'first player to x' messages.
My download will take around 5 hours, by that time ben will have cleared the whole campaign and the datamining will be rampant by then anyway. Please allow at least a 2-6 hour preload. |

I would chill first.
Its stated clearly in the FAQ (and this is how they went public selling Keys) that it will be available before launch. Any "shitstorm" should not be generated before that and no, I dont have a Gigachat internet. Still tho it was just an interview. He was not clear around that topic and in my personal opinion, since its advertised that we can download it earlier, i would rather just wait before getting the forks. 12h should be sufficient Last edited by Acored#0166 on Dec 2, 2024, 9:27:12 PM
