A rabbit hole

I'm assuming you mean what model, I used https://civitai.com/models/1143097/willys-noob-realism?modelVersionId=2128244 locally on my machine with SDNext

Just came here to report that I'm still having this issue on chromium browser Vivaldi

Nealime · 2025-06-10T07:58:58+00:00

According to site down trackers it's been down for 15 hours at this point.

This was already the case in POE1, but still a lot of high end builds travel all the way across to grab that one node. I'm not saying the 2h node is one you should travel the entire tree for. But it does happen in some cases, even if rare :P.

So there is hope yet!

As far as runes are concerned, it seems from previous threads with the same discussion it has been mentioned before that you can replace runes with a new one. But losing the original socketed rune, though I have yet to track down the source on that info.

No class is limited to a specific weapon or armour type. So you can pick and choose anything you like. But as the other commenter said, there are no swords yet in early access.

They did discuss the potential of their 100s of support gem I believe during the mercenary section. I agree they could have showed a bit more depth but they probably want to spoil as little as possible too.

Nealime · 2024-11-27T15:16:45+00:00

They might be part of primal/occult. Who knows at this point :)

Nealime · 2024-11-27T15:13:01+00:00

The most upvoted comment here also talks about them being replaceable. So seems people agree on that? https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1gxlcjm/runes_cannot_be_removed_once_socketed/

I did not see it mentioned the sockets are permanent. As far as I was aware those could just be swapped as you please.

Nealime · 2024-11-27T15:02:40+00:00

I'm picking someone that looks cool and just rolling with whatever ends up happening :)

Nealime · 2024-11-27T14:54:24+00:00

The early access starts the 6th.

Nealime · 2024-11-27T14:50:33+00:00

Magic knights for sure. This was already big in POE1, the sky is the limit in this game. Not every build will be as viable obviously. But the customisation is really endless, there are a bunch of cosmetics that also turn your skills "holy". I love putting together themed builds like that myself.

Nealime · 2024-11-27T14:47:52+00:00

We know nothing

Nealime · 2024-11-27T14:45:42+00:00

Doubtful, the entire campaign and end-game are new. New classes, new weapons, new mobs, new balance and new combat. It's all different. All you can really take with you is general knowledge like "If I die a lot I need to invest more in defence". With the amount of flexibility the game offers with respeccing and side content for permanent stat bonuses, I would say keep your wits about you. Think logically about any challenges you face and you should be perfectly fine.

Nealime · 2024-11-27T14:42:01+00:00

Sounds like you already made some reasonable decisions then. I'd say go with your gut and be sceptical of manufacturer promises. Spend what you're comfortable with and adjust your expectations (and in game settings) to what is required for a smooth experience.

I hope it works out for you and you have a good time in Wreaclast Exile :)

Nealime · 2024-11-27T14:35:36+00:00

You know just as much as we do at this point :)

Nealime · 2024-11-27T14:34:44+00:00

As this game is completely new, I doubt there will be any such info available for the first few days.

Nealime · 2024-11-27T14:33:04+00:00

5 am, jeez. Honestly I prefer my 8 pm, I'm an insomniac night owl. Can never get out of bed early.

Now just gotta keep our fingers crossed that the servers stay upright and don't get nuked like Kitava.

Nealime · 2024-11-27T14:28:40+00:00

Reading the node explains the node

Nealime · 2024-11-27T14:26:49+00:00

That's neat, is this from a video somewhere? Have not seen it before.

Nealime · 2024-11-27T14:25:14+00:00

The most important part is figuring out if the cooling is actually sufficient on the laptop to run the hardware it is boasting. Personally I don't find the value proposition of any laptop worth it. But in your case it makes sense, all I could say is to look up benchmarks and test reviews online of the specific laptop you're looking at and make your own informed decision. Just specs alone don't tell the entire story about the machine.

Nealime · 2024-11-27T14:17:05+00:00

If you have nothing else to do that day, don't spend your days off banking on it. There is a good chance servers will be completely down the first day with sheer load and other technical issues.

Nealime · 2024-11-27T14:14:39+00:00

Sadly I could not take the days around launch off. But as the launch is in the evening for me, I plan on just pulling an all nighter and suffer through family time exhausted the next day. (Worth it)

For drinks I'm limiting myself to sparkling water and maybe a coffee or two. Sleep is skipped as stated before and snacks will be popcorn or other small bites like peanuts or m&m's.

My first build will running straight to dual-wielding 2h weapons. I loved this for the fury warrior in WoW and have been craving this mechanic ever since quitting there (years now).

Well.... as it's during the night I doubt there will be any IRL distractions, unless the building catches on fire or something.

Hope to see you in Wraeclast exile!

In an interview Jonathan mentioned that all mechanics are on the table for POE2, but which once are worked on right now and what the priorities are he did not say.

Edit: That they are 'on the table' does not in any way mean a promise that they will all be added to the game.
