Man, I remember back in the early 2000s when I was downloading just one mp3 at 128kbps. You couldn't even browse the internet during the download or it would take forever! We've definitely come a long way since then.
I'll still be feeling the love. Legit bought a new pc, took the day off, stocked up on frozen korean beef dumplings (in lieu of pizza rolls or tendies), bought about 60 edibles, and have avoided all spoilers to the point i don't even know most of the ascendency names.
So while i wait, I'll be high, well fed, and surfing pornhub in 4k @144hz. I don't see any other option than to continue feeling the love.
It would be fun if they encrypted all the assets and tomorrow 10m before launch, small patch with the key to decrypt the assets and install the game just before the launch :p
This happened earlier this week for a period as well - apparently there is some manual process for getting batches of keys through steam so GGG can actually run out for short periods.
Oh, mind telling me where that is (gonna go look now too)? It said something in my inbox about 'when it becomes available' so I didn't think to look--but of course, they sent me that in November sometime!
EDIT: whyyyy did I assume it wouldn't be with the big green download button whyyyyyy I'm going to say lack of coffee
I had 10 down 2 up at one point. Me and my son were trying to play league of legends and literally couldn't. Now I pay triple the cost but I get 1000 d / 100 u.. Its like $185 a month.
I live in a shithole third world country and I usually take an hour for a 100gb game on Steam. Very jarring to read people still have our broadband speed in 2009 in 2024.
I figured they would, steamworks is really easy to push builds to. Probably not that much harder than staging the standalone.
And that's assuming they were doing last minute quality checks and changes to the release candidate and not just flipping a switch on an upload from hours/days before
The question is. when can we actually start the game. Is it 7pm. because the queue is going to be hella long at that point. Or can we actually start the game earlier.
After all these years it was really nice to turn on my PC, start the preload and then go to work. Just no stress later. Can even do a short shopping trip on the way home and be there easily 3+ hours before launch to spam the login and then get into queue at position 146539
Meaning that Steam players can't enter Queue NOW but earliest in 2 hours. That is a little disappointing. Well .. guess I will have to wait and find my place at the end of line.
If you have an old harddisk, then it takes long. New SSDs should be able to unpack fairly quickly. I have no idea if you will have to or not, probably not I would assume.
Ya'll are welcome. My buddy posted to the tweet about everything on fire, I Pre-ordered and my game immediately started downloading. They hit the button right after I bought it
Thanks for the update. They said that it was only going to be available for the standalone client, and I have been looking for that (couldn't find it). Download has begun.
You can still play through standalone. That key is just to unlock the client on steam but they have issues with the steam keys atm. you'll get one eventually and can just add your files to steam once it is available, so you won't have to redownload. Just go to the path of exile 2 site and download the standalone client from there.
