Ruin discovery and ruins race to first 100 ever. Huge misstep IMO. This is also not what was eluded to prior to EA packs being released. Why am I paying for EA the 2nd wave?

We've seen some speculation that some people might already have access to the Early Access version of Path of Exile 2.

To clarify, some traditional games media have been given access to review a version of the game. Part of the stipulation that media were given is that this is for review purposes only. They may share their opinions of the game but are not allowed to produce “guide” style content from this version that would spoil the discovery of the game or post unedited playthroughs. They are not playing on the same servers as the early access version, so none of their progress will be kept. In addition, all of the content they produce is embargoed until the release of Early Access on December 6th, so no content is supposed to be posted until then.

Unfortunately there was a miscommunication with Fextralife that resulted in a video being posted early. This was a mistake on our end, and is in no way on Fextralife.

On release day, we want players to be able to make a more informed choice about if they would like to buy a key. We believe that allowing traditional games media access should be able to accomplish this without spoiling the game.
