Buying PoE2 in Early Access, will give me also any additional benefit when PoE2 1.0 is ready & free?

Hi !

can anyone explain what benefits do I gain when buying PoE2 EA, when the 1.0 build is completed, as they explain in the EARLY ACCESS details in the store page?

Because nothing is mentioned about it except that the game will be free after finished...

Are there any additional benefit of having supported EA at that point?

You get equal value of cosmetics shop and bonus cosmetics.
It’s the most fair system I’ve ever seen.

They give you the amount of in game currency for the money you spend which can also be used in the first game, early access into the game is pretty much a bonus.

When you pay them with your 30 dollars, you effectively get what you paid for, 300 points to spend on the microtransaction shop and access to the game early, that's all. Every update, expansion, character that gets added is all free, anyone that has access to the game gets the same content you do.

To make it simple, you get the game early and 300 points when you pay for the 30 dollar pack and after the game is out... well, you got what you paid for, what else were you expecting?

no benefit at all buying now except early access and no benefit when the game is released.

whether you buy now or wait, you are still going to want to buy stash tabs etc... so spend $30 now and play early with 300 points or spend $30 for those 300 points when the game releases in 6-12 months. the only difference is that you can play early access.... or not.
