Then after that, the stat stacking Pillar/HoWa/Herald of Ice Huntress is gonna be the most unique Original build so far!!! Lol. This made me chuckle quite a bit - lets hope they nerf stuff like that and add more build options cuz Huntress was the original reason why I wanted to play this game.

After Tencent started making majority decisions of GGG and started forcing Chris out of the company, the quality of everything started to dwindle... PoE1 Dead PoE2 Dead on Arrival PoEM ???????	Posted by kyobusa#3514 on Mar 12, 2025, 5:33:50 PM Quote this Post
ya this EA was way below my expectations. All we have is news of a teaser for late this month. Gaming is dead. They killed POE1, for many of us was our favorite game of all time and the only game I actually still like. Gaming is dead.	Posted by Anton__Chigur#9285 on Mar 12, 2025, 9:45:37 PM Quote this Post

Who told you this?? ROFLMAO Early access... Was a bonus for ordering the game before release. E.G Per order. Testing was " Alpha testing phase 1 / 2 / 3. Then closed beta.. Then open beta. The simple fact you have no idea of this.. Shows why every game now is " EARLY ACCESS " Because they have a load of unintelligent people that think paying to test a game is only paying to play the game early. Whats next you are going to tell me DLC's have always been a thing. Where you PAY FOR UPDATES! LOLOLOLOL	Posted by Tankerinc#1368 on Mar 13, 2025, 3:21:08 AM Quote this Post

LOLOLOLOL I always laugh when loud mouth people without a clue make up their own head canon and then try to pass it off as fact. Here's a truth about early access: " Early access, also known as alpha access, alpha founding, paid alpha, or game preview, is a funding model in the video game industry by which consumers can purchase and play a game in the various pre-release development cycles, such as pre-alpha, alpha, and/or beta, while the developer is able to use those funds to continue further development on the game. Those that pay to participate typically help to debug the game, provide feedback and suggestions, may have access to special materials in the game. The early-access approach is a common way to obtain funding for indie games, and may also be used along with other funding mechanisms, including crowdfunding. Many crowdfunding projects promise to offer access to alpha and/or beta versions of the game as development progresses; however, unlike some of these projects which solicit funds but do not yet have a playable game, all early access games offer an immediately playable version of the unfinished game to players. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_access And would you look at that. It's just as Stone3d said.	Posted by yummysushipjs#7638 on Mar 13, 2025, 5:18:24 AM Quote this Post
What we kind of know: + So it seems to be one new class huntress (with two or three asc?) + Two new weapon types (sword and spears), which includes a set of new skills + Turret ascendancy. Are turrets exclusive to the asc. or linked to a weapon, then probably crossbows skill/support? + other stuff in teasers	Posted by djimmy#2834 on Mar 13, 2025, 5:46:35 AM Quote this Post

But it is clear they released it in a alpha state. While claiming early access.	Posted by Tankerinc#1368 on Mar 14, 2025, 3:44:26 AM Quote this Post
