I just don't understand these gaming companies and why they want to release the games all at once everywhere. Back in the day they use to do midnight releases no matter where you are. Yea some people get the game before others but so what. At least everyone isn't smashing into the servers all at once. There's time zones. USE THEM.
I see your point here as I've been gaming for a long time but way back when, spoilers where alot easier to avoid and if you used the timezones, it would get spoilt for a tone of people so I agree with how there handling it, may just be that some of us have to wait a little longer is all.
I completely agree with you. There is no ladder, its EA with a year of testing ahead before release. Use the damn time zones and stagger your release influx. Your authenticating servers will thank you and so will the players.
Jonathan says the servers should hold 1million. We wont get 1million. We have 200k at league launch on poe. Last epoch is 200k at max, but its mostly poe players trying out the latest update. D4, d3, TL:I and other “diablo like” games are pretty meaningless. So if poe2 hits over 500k its pretty much a miracle. I think 350k is more realistic
@@Osiris57 GGG mentioned that the problem with server launches is never max capacity, but how they handle so many instances etc. so player count is only part of it. They've done their best to prepare but man preposes and all that.
@@slimeplort There is a simply solution that for some reason gaming devs refuse to do. Stagger the release times. I don't understand why they release it for everyone at the same exact time. Use the time zones. That way everyone isn't rushing in all at once.
As people have pointed out before: That download now button in the top right is just to download poe1 not the launch client. The download will be available at 2am CEST 6th of december. BEWARE!
@ I suppose so because the new total is 100 and something gigabyte. It says downloading but there's no data it's just steam being steam. Almost up to the 86 GB and then I assume it will start actually downloading the rest. Can't wait!
THANK YOU for calling it a "paid game" I'm so sick of all the people saying its F2P!!! They can not be serious considering the "full release" is 6-12 months away! GGG knows what they are doing and they want to maximize the cash!

@@EyeXombie I completely disagree with that but I respect your opinion. Thanks for watching brother

Nooo no one can have the game a second before ME it's not fair.

Would be great if they could, but with VPNs and other such tools, one can easily access from most time zones
The advantage of being old with fast internet. I can wait. 30mins, 1hr.. whatever.. no biggie. I don't need to log in the exact second it's live.
I dont expect this to hold on launch….the servers cant withstand the hype…i expect first playtime the day after maybe…

@@m0nztam0nk idk boys I am kinda with you on servers being cooked for a bit at least but will see!
@@Osiris57 350K concurrent was Kalguur league launch.
For the EA consoles will be with PC.
Steam is only part of PC players.

Thanks for letting me know - updating the pinned comment with PoE 2 Launcher download
Honestly, while i'd be upset if i can't log in on the dot i'm very happy for GGG if a whopping 1M access keys were sold.
@@Nobody-hc1rw so true man
That download now button in the top right is just to download poe1 not the launch client
Should I buy it on Steam or the POE website?
Same question, haven't been able to find the f'ing answer anywhere.
@jacebronson2305 I recommend website and using their launcher as its more reliant for early access release than Steam
i used 10h predownload the game just to find out i have to download again because it failed :/
Question: I bought the game from PoE-website. Can I still download it through steam, or do I have to download it elsewhere?
@@viktorstorelv yessir you can as I did the same
@@UlfhednarTVhi
I bought the EA on steam.
My steam account and POE website are connected.
Can i downlod game from POE website and access to game?
Glad I'm on fiber but that's got to be difficult for a lot of players.
I downloaded the game two days ago 86.4 GB, today on the supposed lunch day it's making me download it again wtf?
that is very odd man, isnt it called unpacking? because thats different on steam that is i mean
@ I suppose so because the new total is 100 and something gigabyte. It says downloading but there's no data it's just steam being steam. Almost up to the 86 GB and then I assume it will start actually downloading the rest. Can't wait!
The standalone client won't be available until the 5th
@@blederin5999 thats fine because pre-download also starts from 5th
No news on Nvidia Now :(...
Great info, Ulflove
Launch gonna be a shit show lol!! I'll try it next week for sure

Your paying to play early access.. it's not full launch.. you have a brain?
People will pay the entry fee even after release. It gets you basic quality of life functions you don’t want to play without.
Yeah bro! I agree! The earth is also flat and trump is a reptilian. Dumbass
@@DeathstarsEG I mean you dont have to pay for early access and just wait for full release because the game truly is free to play
Why am I getting so protective towards ggg, when I read stupid shit like this.
