PoE 2 Early access confirmation (how to get it?)confusion

Is there any real confirmation from dev on how to get access to poe 2 beta ...

the Early access trailer is so confusing and dev are not answering it clearly....

early access on steam usually mean open to everyone.. but some poeple think there will be invite like a Playtest? wich is not the same as early access release on steam.

I can imagine them gating early access behind a low tier supporter pack, or they straight up start introducing PoE 2 supporter packs in November while making early access available to everyone. Probably the latter, they want as much feedback as possible going forward.

To answer your question, no - nothing official yet other than the release date.

Early access is confirmed to be open access, which means everyone will have access

Link?

So will it be zero cost access, or did you just mean the option for EA is open to everyone? It's not being sold as a pack?

If so I'm really surprised.

Here we go again. It's been repeatedly mentioned in interviews the early acess (formerly known as closed beta) going to work similarly to The Fall of Oriath beta. You can check one of the recent here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0cA9tkTiXE&t=4533s. That's the info from devs.

It's basically buy to play, you'll need a key to gain access. It's "open" in the sense that nobody will be restricted from buying it.

lol bro you made me laught. " it's open in the sense that nobody will be restricted from buying it " xDD

I already imagine going to a supermarket that says "free goods to take away", and the cassier at the end tell you that you missunderstud... it's free in the sense you are not restricted from buying anything xD

No, I don't like that, at all. It annoyed me then, too. It will be unfinished, full of bugs and we would basically be unpaid playtesters. Like, excuse me? I'm happy to test your game and provide feedback, but not when you paywall it first. That's a no-no.

so it wont be free to play? why is there no confirmation yet? are they still deciding it or what?

The game is going to be f2p, however the early access is probably not going to be f2p.

Still doesn't answer if you have to pay to get access or not, thus all the confusion.
