Does early acces buy actually worth it?

[AngryBrony]

I haven't played poe1 and have no idea how it's monetization works. How much 300 ingame currency actually is? Is this purchase enough to just play the story to completion? (Yes, I'm one of those weirdos who play diablo-likes story mode and move on) or is it a korean-mmo free2play hell?

it's worth it for the 6+ months access to the game, currency is just a bonus

The default 4 stash tabs you get for free should be plenty enough if you just want to play through the acts 1-6 (story mode? not sure how much story the endgame has, probably some). So you could just wait for release, because... at least during the start of EA, there'll only be half the acts.

300 coins can get you at least a good few stash tabs (best to wait on sale).
Otherwise this is a fully-fledged (early access) game. Not a korean F2P slop.

Early Access will launch with 3 acts of story (out of 6).
You also don't need to play in early access for the story. It wont be in the game fully till release. And then you can play it for free all the way through without having to spend a dime.

How much currency do you currently need to buy all stash tab ?

If you're someone that just wants to experience the story, then it's probably best to wait until the game leaves early access (at which point it will be free). In early access the game will only have 3 of the 6 story acts.

You can have 65536 stash tabs, 4 are for free, so whatever the cheapest one is times 65532. Was it like 3 bucks in a sale? So a bit under $200000?

You don't need ALL the stash tabs. You can upgrade your existing 4 to premium (which only matters for trading).
The one I would recommend is the currency stash and the skill gem stash.

Who know, GGG might run a sale for Early Access launch so people can spend their coins on tabs.

Correct. At least 6 months or more.

That's correct.

Will it be possible to carry on with the EA character when the game exits EA?

EA characters will be stuck in their own little world after release.

You can check the website everything you can purchase with 300 Points:

You won't be able to play the entire campaign during EA only Act I, II, and III. Act IV, V, and VI will be available only on full release. Everything you did during EA will be locked behind an EA Realm, this means when the game releases you'll have to create a new character to play the Standard or Seasonal Realms.

It's up to you if does worth or no. You can play the game for free in 6-12 months after releasing of the early access, you'll have everything that EA will, actually more since Act I, II, and III repeat themselves during early access.

Maybe watching a lot of people playing would cease your hunger for the game? Maybe it will increase even further making you getting the EA? It's 100% up to you to define if you should or shouldn't get the EA.

Not worth buying for op if he's just "campaign and move on to other game" type of player. Waiting for release will get you full (instead of half of) campaign and it'll be free, you don't reeally need to buy more stash tabs if you aren't touching post-campaign content.
