Issues with early access

I purchased early access but when I open the game, it is not showing up, unable to create a druid character. I tried to link steam with POE2 but that didn't seem to work either...not sure how to get early access to work correctly. Please help.

The Druid class in PoE 2 has not been released yet, you need to wait for the new patch tomorrow.

Even with Early Access? Sorry, i thought with early access I was able to create a druid and play the game tonight. Guess I was mistaking.

With Early Access you are able to play Path of Exile 2 prior to its release sometime in 2026 or 2027. Those without Early Access are not currently able to play the game at all.

The Druid class hasn't been implemented yet, so you'll need to wait for Patch 0.4.

The game's Early Access is a long-term ability to play as GGG gradually develops the game. A lot of content and features are either works in progress, or not yet created. Think of it more as an ability to provide feedback early on and help shape development, rather than an early look at an already finished game. If you've ever played World of Warcraft, it's a bit like paid PTR access.
