That was the $5 buy-in for the original PoE 1 beta.

I also have 2 supporter packs and 4 more general packs.

I guess you lose track of your spend over more than a decade.

yup. I saw I had ~$200 invested. pretty close to what I thought it was, but seeing it all stacked up seems like a lot.

But GGG does put out a lot of content, so.... worth it.

I'd be annoyed if the beta keys are only for $500+, I guess I could get whatever stupid supporter pack they put out that includes it if it's around 50 bucks though. It's not just the key, you still get stash space and maybe they've got a really cool cosmetic lined up since this would be the big one.

I'm at ~$280 between december 2018 - present. Hadn't spent anything for years (Armour set mtx are whatever to me) but most recently they got me with the currency drop counting ring and the timer map portal.
So i'm probably not grandfathered in but i'm fine with buying $30 more points if i feel compelled to play poe 2 early.

wiki is saying 10 or 15 as well.

its odd I don't have that listed in my transactions though.
I could have sworn I bought in.. but did someone here give me a key and I forgot it?

oh, here's the archive for it.

They went up apr 4 2012.

So.. I joined 2 days prior to the Early access packs going up it looks like... thats why I don't have one on my account. still no clues on if I also had bought in prior. I don't think I have CC records for that long ago, that I could look up easily.

Been playing scarab and map roulette.My girlfriend randomly picks scarabs and a map to put with my maps. AKA kill Borzak.

It was semi amusing and interesting till she looked up some of them and started reading what she was picking.

There are builds that can ignore most map mods. You can get all of them if you're ok with swapping a mana flask for no regen.

Yeah but she throws them in the map device and hits go. I don't find out till I'm in. Just a silly thing now that I'm not leveling. She gets a kick out of watching me die and/or tried to figure it out. She knows just enough to be sneaky and want to kill me.

I'm not sure what I got into the other day. Regular map, lighthouse. I wailed on a mob forever. He would take me down to 90% at most. I couldn't do any damage at all. I finally moved off and the mob split into multiples of the same appearing mob and could kill them. They looked like those mud mobs in EQ that used to throw mud at your to make your screen go dark.

Just keep in mind it actually does look like its going to be a nothingburger. I'd be screaming from the hilltops if it was any company other than GGG but I actually do think GGG is the gold standard of game development in 2024 so giving them money under any pretense doesn't really bother me.

I've only seen a few things and who knows what they release to show. They might have some great things but it looked pretty bland. I'm sure it will get better hopefully they don't go all in on streamer feedback.

I want to see what the game looks like in the hands of a competent player before I pony up anything. I get that the gameplay speed in the content reveals and in the demos was purposefully set up to be on the slower side of things but that's enough to keep me away from the front of the line.

This league supposed to go on longer than normal because of the POE 2 beta or early access? Or just nobody knows at this point?

People are guessing itll last until December due to the EA, but noone knows for sure yet. Will probably find out with next month's stream with more POE2 info.

I slowed down a lot but am still having fun this league, really hope the currency market stays, has helped a ton!

Yeah the currency market has made the difference in me playing longer and having more currency.

Was trying to decide if I have time to try another one for maybe a later league.

Kalguur launched at the end of July and it's only the start of October with for sure big shit on GGG's plate. I don't expect a new league until December.

If the league is going to go on that long I might make another build. No idea what to do. I did a LS, ground slam, and a bleed earthquake build this time. The bleed earthquake worked better and I invested more into it. The LS was faster mapping and just faster moving. The ground slam I never got into it.

I thought I would try hex blast and it may be the best thing ever near the end. But the playstyle of the builds I found for leveling just weren't for me.
