Will we be able to still get these cosmetics after the free weekend?

played 5 minutes over the time limit
muahhaha

14 minutes past the deadline time and i was still able to get the last cosmetic.

give me a key for poe2 please)))

I played the free weekend and was pleased with the game plot and progression. Learning dodge mechanics for bosses you haven't seen before is a struggle as you point at your dead character and say "What the hell killed me!?" or "I dodged that!" Struggle in a game is good, it shouldn't be a cakewalk.

One thing that almost made the game unplayable is the same thing in POE1, the drain on the PC system. Immediately after logging in I get a popup that says my graphics card is out of date (probably true, PC is maybe 5 years old... but needing to replace my PC every POE patch is unrealistic). Fortunately, the game allowed me to play regardless of an out of date graphics card. I turned down all the settings to the lowest available and went onward. I couldn't complain too much with a ranged character, as I generally had time to dodge even if the game stuttered. As a melee character, I would randomly die from being unable to take action due to freezing or stuttering and literally not know what happened over the past 2 seconds. In true POE fashion, I continued even though the game froze for a second every 5 seconds and I died numerous times from literally unknown causes.

Overall, glad I got to try out POE2. There are still some server issues which I hope yall work on. Also, keep improving the quality of life and PC drain and I will continue to be a player for years.

P.s. Still a little salty I didn't get early access even though I have spent $$, but it's whatever.

The game blocked me from logging in now after the free weekend. And in my account on the website it shows me as having no early access on my account even though I've been playing since launch.. Never had a game just straight up remove access like that.

The game is overall an amazing experience and cant wait for it to be fully released, the only issues were because my potato pc/internet that ended altering bosses behaviors*1.

*1: The chimera landed on a ledge in the chaos trial and got stuck there giving me a free kill.
The siren boss choose to just not come out of the water and needed to reset the fight.
The quarry boss on act iv maze attack sent my game to 0 fps so it ended being a pattern gamble.
Some bosses just choose to stop attacking when outraged and/or repeated the same attack till they died.
For some reason all the act end cinematics fps were all over the place and skipped frames.

Can you still get the cosmetics after the free weekend?
