I'm 12379 in the queue for the DC server not sure if it will stay up all the way till launch, people in datmodz chat keeps saying it will reset an hour ahead for a small patch

Im in the UK queue but I suspect it's a trap. They said there will be a patch when servers come up.

Streamers are queuing up. You've been bumped.

Even last night at 2am there were 20k viewers on twitch for PoE2, I wonder how many of the streamers have never played POE ever.

I prepared for que/server issues by leveling a new char in the other best ARPG Grim Dawn.

I signed up last night for thirty big ones. How dare they treat me like this. To Reddit!

I don't expect to actually get an unbroken stretch of mostly stable game play until Monday or Tuesday.

I do, generally. This is EA not alpha. I understand the initial launch queues and server issues getting worked out, but if they can't get most people to play then that's a failure.

Yeah steam doesnt unlock until 11, but standalone has been able to queue for over an hour.

I’m just sticking with steam I figure i’ll get into the real queue with all the standalone folks who get booted from crashes

The last league that really didn't work was Ultimatum and I was there for that. Since then everything's basically worked each and every league. GGG's track record is good. They're putting holy shit levels of effort in to this and have made additional tough but necessary choices to push back dates and even delay the next PoE1 league for two or three months. If anyone can have a smooth beta it's them. I've just seen enough shit launches in games over the years that it's my default assumption - this shit is going to be a mess.

That I'm a beaten dog is great for GGG though. They're primed to exceed my low expectations.

I kind of wish everyone would drop the whole "identify" thing. It makes sense from the gambling perspective of buying a generic rare and it rolls stats once purchased. But the regular drops needing to be identified seems like an extra step that just isn't necessary anymore except as some sort of arbitrary time/resource sink. Get a bunch of unidentified items, take them back to an NPC just to click a button and have them identified. What did you just accomplish that couldn't have been the same by showing the item stats when it dropped?
