Helldays59: Almost 12 years ago I paid 10$ to access the Path of Exile closed beta. Best investment ever !
larrykenneybrew6632: I'd pay $99 for this easy... Diablo 4 couldn't get that out of me but this will!
rockkiller124: Will absolutely buy their supporter pack for POE2 when it launches, these guys deserve it. Hopefully my purchased MTX from POE1 will transfer nicely to POE2.
sulfuryos: GGG sweating right now while watching this
alxk3995: I don't think that they just open up the game for everyone. I think they might use the modern "watch a streamer for x-hours to get a key". At least that was my initial thought. This method worked well for a bunch of other games in recent months.
omegasybers1110: I think there will be an open beta/access period, but I think (at least for the first few months) a key will be neccessary to enter the Early Access. And those keys will either be given out to longtime supporters (aka >500$ spend or >=420$ in one pack), through random twitch drops from streamers or via supporter pack. And on Steam you are buying a supporter pack to access the game and get any leftover keys send to you via mail or smth
osmou8309: Free, in your dreams maybe. They can make a lot of money by selling the access, it would be stupid for them to make it free. Its a buisness, not charity.
Finis.Terrae: Ah the good old milking PoE2 update announcement for the next 6 months.
jamesstewart8663: Having played the POE1 Closed Beta.... I think that was closer to a true beta. You have to remember it had only 2 acts with 3 difficulties. There was quite a bit missing, and there was a huge lack of content. Not to say it wasn't fun, and new acts quickly came, which they did after a few months, but for some time it was fairly basic. Ironically the only Mirror I have ever seen drop, dropped for a friend in closed beta :D POE2 looks like a far more complete experience, and a FAR more full fledge game (100 bosses POE2 vs 5 if your are being generous in POE1 Close Beta). I think this is why they chose to use the term Early Access as it a far more complete game when dropping for people.
ebon227: you have no legit info actually about who will get into early access.
Zizarian get to know in interview that it will be done in classic way. Random keys and guaranted key per 500$ spent on the game in the past. They do not want everyone to get in - they want to increase playerbase in steps to test stuff.
