Info on endgame is sparse because the game just came out of EA; but I think the above video shows some of it's unique qualities. At least I think.. haven't played much PoE myself, but it definitely has at least a slightly different feel from D3 or Grim Dawn, games I love.
Beyond that.... it's new.. lol.. I don't know how people manage to play so much of one ARPG. And I'm the type of person who puts like 10 playthroughs and 100s of hours into games like Skyrim. But the "one character endgame for 1000s of hours" thing is lost on me.
Not sure to your question but yeah wait until you see it first hand... it really looks damn good.
Refunded it on Monday due to not having Con. Support but was deliberating on getting it at the Humble Choice price before the increase, but ended up waiting too long. That's fine though, I refunded it for a reason (I don't need a loot game with PSO2 and Nioh 2 so close, plus I don't want to play with MKB). I'll check it out again though when they do get around to adding in that support, I liked what I played well enough.
IIRC, when I played it had support. I tend to not notice it unless it doesn't have it these days, but I'm pretty sure I was using the whole thing when I played briefly this week.

yes youll just get a random error message, none of them are actually real. Well, except for the fact that the servers are borked.
Yeah was happening for a lot, think they mentioned on Twitter what caused it but didn't see the response myself, just heard Quin reading it on his stream.
The beta only had the first act and it was ok, endgame was basically rifts with modifiers that you can choose and get rewards. It was getting boring pretty quick, because you basically played the small amount of maps that were there. Loot is alright, have not been able to get any sets or anything (hmm, really have to think if it even had sets), there are a couple of powerful and unique items.
Gameplay is pretty good, combat feels excellent, that is the best thing it has going for it, but downside was the rather lacklustre amount of skills. They added a couple, though, I have not played the final game yet, still downloading, so hopefully this will mix things up a bit.
The game doesn't really have classes, it's the skills that are dependent on which weapons you use.
I had a lot of fun with the beta, don't get me wrong, played almost 170 hours in the last 18 months or so, but it was buggy as hell, stopped playing when I ran into the stash bug, well and that I got sick of playing the same levels with the same skills over and over again.
Looking forward to the full game myself but have my expectations in check, so should everyone else, it's a very small team. Be prepared for some jank and lots of bugs. Server issues will be a concern, I'm afraid, not just on release, but we'll see.
Yeah I went into the general chat for their discord and quickly regretted it. Was hoping to have some decent discussion in there but that place is... bad.
Yes, though you can still play offline. (separate chars, mind you)
so if i start now i have to restart later? if so ill just wait till the servers cool down.
Can't blame them for going to mouse and keyboard first. There's only so much a team of 13 devs can do.
again I'm not referring to you.
I'm more happy the community has support and that we may randomly grind someday. The more the merrier in arpgs.

Thanks for the info and video! I'll say that video sold me hard, but hearing it may have lots of bugs, crashing, server issues, and endgame is not known yet, I think I'll wait a week or 2 and see what the consensus is then.
Thing is i see plenty of streamers playing and none of them have the authentication error in the thumbnail. Not sure if they're playing online or offline though.
Oh, cool. Back to FFXIV then.
Looks like this caught the devs by surprise, but i'm glad for the success. One of my favorite genres.
Calling it a day, don't want to be restricted to offline day. Sucks, but it is what it is. If it continues to be bad over the weekend, I'll refund it.
They did promise a while ago it would be in the 1.0 release, though.
Some achievements, co-op, trading and leaderboards. Think that's the bulk of why you'd want to go online versus offline.
Quin just said someone on the Wolcen team said they gave him priority access and now he's actually able to get online... lolwtf. Figured it was just a bait. Creating his character now. Lucky sob.
edit: lol but now clicking 'create' does nothing for him just times out

That will show who is the boss to this tiny indie team that was unable to prepare for this level of release success.
It seems kind of gross to demand developers to work on a weekend. Steam refund policy window is two full weeks if you've played less than 2h, so where's the rush?
Not to say I disagree with you completely on the first point, but don't you think they should be prepared to work for the first few days of a new launch for things that might happen. Expecting to launch a new game and then not support it during the initial rush seems... problematic to me.
Release server issues suck but this team is tiny and I'm happy for their seemingly big success.
edit: I work in IT as well and basically the number 1 rule is "Don't release to production on Fridays", to this day I'm still not sure why devs insist on continuing to do so.
