Can’t wait to beat up some big boss dinosaurs.
They don’t even even need to have high fantasy features, just regular dinosaurs already feel fantasy enough!

Looks like that dude is the goat… hopefully there is no companion feature there. I don’t want to be forced to play a minion class… pretty please.

Yes. Currently all new content is “core” so it’s added to legacy & offline at the same time as online / league. At some point in the future when they’ve finished adding content that they consider core they may well do what PoE does & add stuff to league first then to standard (& presumably offline) later.

What, you mean you don’t like all content currently going to standard at the same time as league? Standard is pretty active though if your friends prefer league that I get.

They have, it’s what’s happening at the moment but won’t be forever.

That’ll be unity. But if your monitor has a refresh rate of 120, much over that isn’t going to be a benefit other than e-peen.

The only issue with this date I can see as a problem is that GamesCon starts on Aug 20 so a lot of streamers/etc won’t be able to play at launch

  1. who hath Nvidia, I advise everyone to put physics processing on the CPU, and rendering on the video card. Also if ye do not use some sort of vsync then lock thy fps by thy monitor, if adaptive one it’s must be a little higher. And enable ultra reflex is in Nvidia’s driver.

  2. Check the exe file, if the screen optimization is completely disabled there if you have a full screen mode (not full of screen - window), because in this case it is must not to turn it off.

For example, regarding paragraph one: my FPS have doubled up in heavy battles in POE 2 + when i have locked my fps a temperature of my card even go down a little.

About paragraph two : my fps have stoped to jump from 60 to 30 and vice versa.

P.S. And turn on adaptive energy consumption in the driver and high in the Windows settings - games - add exe files.

Ye can also disable unnecessary background programs such as the Cortana, including those that are in the auto-load. And doth not matter what kind of computer ye have.

No they havent at all said what the plan is with this. I linked a discord discussion on what mike said about this. In another thread. Think it was about seasonal content The tldr of is mike sais something along the lines seasons will be similar to POE. Mike was then asked about this in the ask the devs channle. Where he said its very possible i said something like and misspoke. Players ran with it thinking its gareenteed. Mikes even said for the record its not gareenteed.

Then again on a recent stream about 2 weeks ago. Had someone ask i forget some of it. Where the person was talking about how people really like how seasons are being done. His answer pretty much confirmed the above.

Currently players dont know what the plan is after 1.4 its not even confirmed EHG will even do seasonal specific content. As was kinda hinted at in the stream a couple weeks ago with that question which i need to go back and find to get the full info.

Yes, which is why I said “may”, which means that they haven’t entirely decided whether they will or not.

Yes, he’s been saying that on his streams for months/years.

35

Is there a risk the release date is moved again (e.g., if PoE1 / PoE2 have something close to this date) or can we safely book annual leave from work? :smiley:

36

I dunno. They might move it ahead or behind few days. I dont think they factored in the GamesCon happening at the same time thing. Calanders must be Judd’s nemesis cause he does not check for events and holidays :wink:
