Steam preload done. They aren't even opening until about an hour before my bedtime, so I won't me playing until tomorrow night.

Only thing that could be more gay would be Bards
While true I think there would be some novelty and coolness to running around with a demon bone guitar and spitting riffs of fire and another musical themed stuff. Like AOE of music notes and sound wave style aesthetic. At least in the POE context.

Totem heatmap is brutal. Ancestral Bond is way up in the top left there.

87 gig download. I’ve lost track of game sizes lately, this seems pretty normal these days? Think cyberpunk was even more?

The new Indy adventure (Indiana Jones and the great circle) released today was 112GB, that floored me.

And regarding POE2: I seriously doubt their backend can handle up to 1mill players zoning into the first area same time. This will be wild.

Atlas tree is harder to decide than the passive tree. I want everything!

I think I'm first going straight over to the 20% more waystones, then going up to the 30% increased tablets, swing left for Local Knowledge (40% more currency, etc), then south for +rarity of waystones and +20% higher waystones. grab the 3 nodes left of that for +18% more waystones (unless I'm already swimming in sustain), then finish with the precursor circle at the top.

I think precursor tablets are gonna be the way to go since they give you access to all the other map content and I want to start banking them ASAP.

They would make it like the sounds of the annoying pets and stuff that people are always complaining about in town/hideouts.

Talking of downloads I think BG3 was almost 90gb or so and that was after people had played early access and already had some of the game they had to do a clean download to start over.

I haven't gone to bed today so probably be on late. Of course I might of have been still in the queue at that point. I can only imagine how long it will be, I think the most I've seen is 30k but I normally don't try to log in at server up. It normally goes pretty fast but tomorrow who knows.

Just out of curiuosity I launched the game at 2am here. 300mb patch already.

Queue is most likely going to be insane. It's not that hard to be in the first few thousand at launch if you have time off right as they open up. But the server instability they have at pretty much every popular league is probably going to be multiplied for the launch of PoE2. I expect a lot of "I'm in!!!" then minutes to an hour later, DC, then back to queue which will most likely be in the hundreds of thousands for all of today, if not the entire weekend. One hour play (if lucky), 4-5 hours+++ queue.

20k viewers on twitch for PoE 2, 9 hours before it goes live. Yeah I expect a huge queue. Pretty sure it's all streamers saying the same thing "we don't know".
