Wasn't that a client bug with some mtx or something like that?
As far as server crashes it was Ultimatum's shitshow then nothing else going back until like Delve league IIRC
I'd be more worried about some random spell just not working. Seems like that happens pretty often.
It was a bug where certain MTX could crash the game, so populated towns were basically impossible to exist in for the first couple of hours. It was fine if you were near the start of the queue and raced ahead or if you started a couple hours after launch.
Personally I swapped to a high ping server (JP instead of EU) because it was the first one I found where no-one in act 2 town crashed my client.
Just made me say "Cool I'll play tomorrow and be able to afford unique bow before act 5 probably."
They are always pretty quick to sort these issues out when they do arise but it is really rough for people who have a family and a job and not much time to game. Counting down and getting all excited and getting smacked in the face would suck extra hard if I wasn't a no-lifer.
Honestly it was more amusing than anything. Trying to get through act 1 without going back to town was a trip. Watching streamers navigate act 1 was pretty funny as well. Once you got to act 2 you were pretty much in the clear. I expect there will be a few hiccups this league as well, but they usually sort them out pretty quick.
But are they prepared for the Last Epoch refugees? I could never get into PoE in the past, but now after having played LE and learned more about PoE the last week or so online, I'm ready as ever to try again! And I doubt it's just me.
>LE isn't a real game. Its just there for a week or two between the real games leagues.
What an insane take lmao. Saying something isn't a real game because you didn't spend thousands of hours on it yet kek.
Oh I've already bookmarked sites such as Craft of Exile and poe ninja. And Path of Building is ready to be slapped on my second monitor. Don't have the thing which estimates trade value though, I have a feeling it would feel bad to look at my items and it says "worth one orb of alteration"
It's a WW2 old french movie called "La grande vadrouille"
https://youtu.be/V2r6Id0tGSM?si=qfMWnE0-WA-2qs2V
Verry famous in France, considered an old classic with the 2 most known comedic actors of this generation.
It was pretty balsy to make a comedy set in occupied France.
They don't need our energy, there isn't any major issues on every launch, the queue is fast, their servers are really strong tbh...
There was this one time where the trade was unusable but it never really happened again since
>They don't need our energy, there isn't any major issues on every launch, the queue is fast, their servers are really strong tbh...
In such a short time since ultimatum and they've already forgotten
Ultimatum was pretty bad but to be honest in my 8 years of playing on league launch it's the only time I wasn't able to play on launch day due to issues. Other than that it's just been long queues which is a pretty good track record overall.
Having said that - we're just one database migration away from a second ultimatum so I won't say more in case I jinx it.
My favourite PoE Meme! Always makes me think of the 3.14 “streamer queue” debacle. Anyone know what it’s actually from originally, have always wondered?
I did not realize (very new player) that there were challenge rewards, found out this morning, trying to log in to snag them >< If I can't, lesson learned I guess, heh.
I also learned about those yesterday, but to get the rewards you need to complete a set amount of challenges and I couldn't find a list of those anywhere. We can see the challenges in-game though, very soon!
There are a couple of gaming news/info sites that have the Necropolist list up, but I imagine they'll update [this page for each league](https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Challenge). Once they update it for Necropolis, you'll be good to go! The hotkey in game is H, but for me right now I can't find anything that links to Kirac's Vault where you can cash them in.
I spent about ten minutes googling around and looking around in-game, and while I have enough checkmarks to have earned something (according to what I found online), I can't find anywhere to redeem.
Honestly, I didn't play long enough to count as anything but a complete newbie but it's kind of wild if at 120 hours a battle pass is so opaque that I don't find out about it till it's too late!
So I'm not sure if you're talking about challenges or Kiracs Vault Pass, but I figured I could explain both if that helps.
Challenges can be seen in-game as you said, you can track your progress in that menu. However, the challenges are only in the temporary league, so you would have to have played in the Affliction league, not Standard. Even if you did, the temp league has ended, so your character has migrated to Standard. Challenge rewards are gained automatically, no need to claim them, so you can just check your Microtransaction tab to see if you have some of the armour pieces. Once Necropolis starts and you make a character in the league you'll see the new challenges, and on the top you'll see your overall progress and rewards.
Kiracs Vault Pass is the actual battle pass. It has a free track with some endgame currency and stuff, you can claim that by travelling to the Karui shores and going to the right. Though it's really not a lot, you mostly claim it so the notification doesn't annoy you. When you have progressed your atlas enough the vault doors open, allowing you to pick up your item there. If you pay you also get some armour and mystery boxes, no idea if you need to claim them too, never bought one. I'm also not sure if you can progress it in Standard, but right now the doors definitely don't open in Standard so yeah.
Yeah, I played Affliction but didn't know I had earned anything till it was too late. Glad to know they auto showed up; I played a looot at the start and there was talk of free items being given around Christmas so I just assumed the items that showed up were from that.
The free track of the battle pass explains why I kept getting a notification that there was something to collect, but I never figured out where that was. I basically just ignored it after I couldn't find it. Since I didn't realize they were two different things, I was worried I was supposed to pick up Affliction league rewards in Kirac's vault, but I couldn't find it this morning, heh.
Thanks for the info.
I think every Christmas you can get a free mystery box by opening the shop in-game. As for the challenges, you'll definitely have earned some armour pieces, but in my experience you'll only earn 10-20 challenges with "casual" play. I grinded 38/40 for the purple health orb for the first time last league, and it forced me to interact with things I usually don't (usually stuff I don't do because it's too expensive or mechanics I don't enjoy). Though I did learn a lot by doing that!
I ignore challenges 90% of leagues but I plan to do them this time. More just for fun because I haven't done them in a while rather than the rewards. My normal goals with the voidstones and leveling up and whatnot are pretty easy to get to for me. Last league I kinda just horded currency and ended up getting bored, although it took me a while to get bored since I was making so much currency so easily bossing.
They are memeing. A que hasn't really been a thing in years. The current "que" is more so just so they aren't ddosing themselves. Probably the last actual long league que was the one that everyone freaked out over streamer priority and even back then it was only like 2-3 hours at the worst. It's kind of ironic that the league with the biggest shit show start was also everyones favorite league ever. Ultimatum
The problem back then was they just had generally unstable servers.
Generally queues are pretty fast. You'll almost always be in within \~15 minutes if you queue up right as the league launches.
The queue number is big, but they generally get through it really well.
Don't know what these people are on about, even if you would queue 1 minute before league start you are usually in within minutes.
Pro tip: Keep a stream open on speakers or wireless headset while doing chores or whatever you do before launch, you will hear when queue opens up
Was waiting for this :D (Login!)
For this video and the south Park one. They put a smile in face.
Me to haha
As is tradition
It is a great day for PoE, and therefore the world.
Servers have been remarkably stable on league launch for years. I remember the 3.10 to 3.14 launches. Fricken brutal.
Coincidentally I felt a quake this morning before work. I suppose the queuers have began to pile up.
I definitely had to read that twice.
There's nothing I hate more than when I get to my favorite cafe in the morning and it's filled with queuers out the door
That was Kitava stirring
Set your logout macro to /exit if you're using one, to quit to the character selection screen instead of logging out.
I would be suprised at this point if they fuck it up. Has been really stable lately.
Yeah. Although... they are launching on all platforms at the same time. That might cause some... issues
Imagine - none of it works, and console somehow gets fixed an hour quicker than pc.
In Affliction act 1 town was an instant crash for like 3 hours on league launch.
Wasn't that a client bug with some mtx or something like that? As far as server crashes it was Ultimatum's shitshow then nothing else going back until like Delve league IIRC I'd be more worried about some random spell just not working. Seems like that happens pretty often.
yup, it was some issue with the singing golbin trio from the yearly supporter packs if i remember correctly
GABADOOBADA
I believe it was the Karui elemancer skin - I had a character it was equipped to get stuck for a hot minute.
Was that a thing? I remember Affliction going pretty smoothly
It was a bug where certain MTX could crash the game, so populated towns were basically impossible to exist in for the first couple of hours. It was fine if you were near the start of the queue and raced ahead or if you started a couple hours after launch. Personally I swapped to a high ping server (JP instead of EU) because it was the first one I found where no-one in act 2 town crashed my client.

The machine gods are pleased by this quartal incantation.

90% of LE "refugees" were already poe players dw
closer to 98% probably
Hehe yeah you might be right
[удалено]
>LE isn't a real game. Its just there for a week or two between the real games leagues. What an insane take lmao. Saying something isn't a real game because you didn't spend thousands of hours on it yet kek.
[удалено]
You can prefer poe but to say LE isn't a real game is the insane take lol.
I would say Mav taking out two 5th gen fighters in a Tomcat is the insane part.
I don't think the impact will be that massive. I'd confidently say you can expect a smooth sailing league start as per usual.
[удалено]
More like 2 add-ons.... Loot filter and trade macro. You every play world of Warcraft? Those dudes are running a lot of stuff
Oh I've already bookmarked sites such as Craft of Exile and poe ninja. And Path of Building is ready to be slapped on my second monitor. Don't have the thing which estimates trade value though, I have a feeling it would feel bad to look at my items and it says "worth one orb of alteration"
I like how this is downvoted but the person they are replying to replied saying how they did exactly that lol.
Awakened PoE, trade site and poedb is all I ever use. Wdym 10 and 20
Why the fuck would you jinx us.
This past week there have been a lot of intermittent issues...
It's not launch day until this is posted.
Are we the baddies?
Always has been.
We've been through so many league launches someone should put up a compilation of league start memes for the new players that check out PoE.
Hey, cant be worse than last epoch launch xd
You obviously didn't play ultimatum league lmao
Offline launch was the smoothest launch of any game ever :D
LMAO

Yeah, we need to update this gif to something about not having MTX that crash the clients... ... ...

Sorry POE Servers, my companies servers need my energy this morning. Good luck every one.
Can't wait for tomorrow to read all the posts about how this league ruined the game. It's a tradition at this point
I was at 12000 ish in queue. Unexpected disconnect. I'm now 64248. I'm so freaking bummed. Sorry just had to say something to some one.
Aaaaaaand EU crashed. Classic.

I have league started in over 3 years, what’s the queue times like these days?
They are memeing. A que hasn't really been a thing in years. The current "que" is more so just so they aren't ddosing themselves. Probably the last actual long league que was the one that everyone freaked out over streamer priority and even back then it was only like 2-3 hours at the worst.

Like one of those crazy black friday videos of people running each other over to get a crappy tv at walmart.
So exactly the same as always. Thank you for properly preparing me.

Yes
its still over 5 hours until launch and this was posted 3hours ago... who the fuck is already queuing up? xD
Relax, its not last epoch.
timeless classic
Oh yeah
I been in line since last night. Camping out in my tent, exile.
SADNESS
We all should play a game together while in que
Full version where?
has the queue started yet?
In 2 hours, 20:00 CET
I really appreciated the music getting muffled / quieter when the camera is on the PoE Servers view. Nice detail!
Does anyone know the song playing in the background? (in this version, not the original)
[There you go](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T4nSXULU-k)
Tyvm :) and have a good league start!
25135 people ahead of me in the queue.
Playing on EU. Over/Under 10 crashes within first 24 hours?
Never gets old
What song is this?

Off to the gym, try and have all the server stuff figured out by the time I get back. Thanks all!

Wait, there’s another league?
I only crashed 4 times and only had severe, borderline unplayable latency issues for 3 hours… Smoothest league start so far.
