hi s here with another video, and I am going to be going to Gamescom Cologne, and there is going to be more POE2 news there. I'm very excited. If you're going, feel free to let me know in the comments, and absolutely feel free to say hi if you see me in Gamescom. Very excited. It's going to be my first Gamescom, so uh yeah, I don't really know what to expect, but I am excited for more Path of Exile news, and I'm going to be checking out some other things while I'm there as well. So yeah, I just wanted to make a quick video and especially ask if anyone has any questions, if I get the chance to ask any, if there's anything in particular you are curious about Path of Exile 2. We are getting a teaser in the... It seems like we're getting something in the keynote of Gamescom because there is actually a tiny 600 MC frame of the blacksmith from POE2 hitting the hammer. So that means that it's very likely part of the

keynote. So, some things we are potentially getting. We might be getting an announcement of the early A's date, which has been teased, is supposed to be November or December. All we were told it was late this year, so not much else to expect there. But I'm very excited for that. And there is currently a beta going on. I hope all of you who have access to that are enjoying it. Streamers are left out of this beta, which I personally think is a great move because, as I've said previously, the game being solved by content creators on launch is a bit of a bummer, especially for the people that aren't part of it. And it is a different vibe for content creators. Instead of being excited to see something for the first time, you have to be like, Oh, wait till you guys see this, or This upcoming boss is so cool, whereas it's so much more fun to just see something for the first time with your community. So, absolutely love that. And hopefully, you guys are having a

blast. So, um, I will be exploring pe2 at Gamescom, and yeah, again, if you want to ask any questions, there's obviously a lot of hype around it right now, and um, we will be having an early exit, which the way they've done it in the past for entry is that um, they usually have a $10 or $20 supporter pack that you can buy to get access for the Early Access. Now, obviously, pe2 once it releases is completely free. You get all your stash tabs, uh, all your Cosmetics from po1 transferred over automatically for free, so you don't have to worry about that. But the beta is usually um, gated a little bit. Now, there is also for long-term poe1 supporters. I think it's usually the way it's been in the past is anyone that spent over $500 or more is automatically granted for free, and like I said, you do have a cheap supporter pack you can usually buy access, and they do raffle codes and giveaways for Keys as well, so there are a lot of

different ways to get in, but either way, release is going to be free, so that's awesome. Um, and we have recently had even like big channels on YouTube, like Forest gaming, said Path of XL2 might be the best ARPD of all time. Very good video. And um, yeah, it is just a lot of excitement around it, so really looking forward to see what they have at Gamescom. Obviously, the last big announcement was that it was going WD, and that was remaking and taking quite a large change for the game. It's very interesting. I thought that was going to feel awful, but it was now one of the things I'm looking forward to the most. And that's particularly because, so this would maybe work with mouse and right click too, but being able to move while attacking, like every skill felt like cyclone, and it just felt really good. But uh, just wanted to make it quick videos. If you do have any questions that I get the chance to ask, let me know in the comments down below, and I will try

to ask those, but either way, looking forward to seeing you at Gamescom Cologne if anyone is going. So, thanks for watching. So, if you like the video, and try to die less than I do.

I'm going to Gamescom Cologne 2024!
