To play EA we must get supporter pack?

[Balgore]

Its unclear. Even the DLC starter pack description doesnt say anything about this. Will EA be available for everyone next week, or just those who purchase it?

[Charnel]

Purchase

If you want free to play wait till early access is over in like 6+ months

[Zheppon]

if i read and comprehend it properly yes you need to buy supporter pack to get access

Poe2 FAQ https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3587981
Yeah it's min 30$ to play the EA or if you are a poe1 player and spent 480$ lifetime you get the EA for free.Poe2 will in EA for 6-12 months , they want it released by the end of 2025

I would say that Poe1-2 are more like free to try for like 50-100h , then spend 30-60$ to buy some stash tabs when they do a 20% off sale every 3 weeks
There's no pay for power at all , mtx is cosmetics and stash tabs , you don't need 100 of them , I have 4500h and 27 stash tabs , 23 without the free ones
I've been playing Poe1 since 2012, before buying the EA for 30$ last time I had bought anything was 2018 ,since then I've played about 3000h

I would wait for a stash tabs sale with 20% discount they do one every 3 weeks and buy. Currency Stash Tab 60,Map Stash Tab 120,Stash Tab Bundle 110 Add six extra tabs to your shared stash (at a discounted price),Premium Stash Tab(good to trade items) 30 points total 320 points. You get 4 stash tabs for free

"Its unclear."

Imagine how they will struggle playing game itself.

Bonk builds, using pure skill.

[Impaler]

Yes, Early Access nowadays is a paid beta. $30 to play what's looking to be the greatest game ever is a small price to pay for the privilege.

Thx guys, yeah I dont mind paying, I just wanted to make sure I HAD to. Good dev I dont mind supporting, and yeah, I dont want to wait 6-12 months.

Show me where it says in the description of the EA package, or in any release information on the STEAM store pages that it is clear and described what I asked.

You sound like an elitist snob. Ive been gaming for decades, played thousands of games, have probably years of played time, played POE1. I think I can handle, at WORST, copying and following someone else's build on youtube. To insinuate that I will struggle to play the game because the steam store page descriptions are not clear enough, is pretty arrogant.

Just do some research instead of creating endless topics. There is whole FAQ about early access here on steam page. What exactly is unclear here?
Easy as that.

Is it really easier to write whole essay instead of wasting 2-3 minutes on researching information?

Below is taking right from the steam store page for the game.

How to join Early Access?
Purchasing one of new Early Access Supporter Packs with a key grants you access.

As we have also announced earlier, if you've purchased a top-tier supporter pack in the past or have spent $480 USD or more in lifetime purchases in Path of Exile on a single platform, you'll automatically have access to Path of Exile 2. In this case you'll receive an email (if we have one for you) and PM on the website that lets you know that your account has had access granted. We will begin inviting players in the next two weeks. Please note that the threshold is the same for all countries and does not take regional prices into account.

Where are you seeing this? Ive gone back and looked THREE times now, including on the DLC page. Ive clicked the drop down menu of the early access panel. Nothing I am seeing says this. Its not in the game's description, or the early access description.

Are you taking this from a forum post?

Also, not to be nit-picky but I feel like its necessary, even that isn't entirely clear that the early access is NOT available for those who do not purchase the EA supporter bundle. It merely states you get access with the bundle. That's like saying you get access to free parking at a sports game with a seasons pass ticket. That's great that is included, but can you get parking otherwise? Its unclear lol.

It needs to say ONLY, or express that it is a CLOSED early access, or that you CANNOT get access without the bundle.

[Troy Muni]

lol the people asking these questions are not going to last more than 3 days in the game - if they even play the game at all.

[Balgore]

Okay so looking at it now, I see it is in the FAQ and announcements selection window. I dont click those things. What am I supposed to read through every game's patch update and announcement bubbles to understand how their basic DLC packages work?

It should outright say in the DROP DOWN early access menu "ACCESS IS ONLY AVAILABLE WITH PURCHASE OF A BUNDLE" And at the very least be EXTRA CLEAR on the DLC page itself. The fact it is this unclear, had me searching 3 times, and make a forum thread, to only kinda get awishy-washy answer on an FAQ ad spam link is gibberish.

Guess itll get review bombed then. If they're this incompetent at stating what their DLC bundle does, and what its for, then the in-game descriptions of abilities arent going to make any sense.

Have fun watching 4 hour youtube videos to understand if your ability can have whatever modifier stacked with something else because the description is nonsense. such "skill" and "intelligence" you must have. I would wager 100 dollars you never even make your own build, but copy-paste whatever the current meta build is.
