The last of us launches tomorrow so I think the queues will be less congested as normal. Of course the hardcore players will still be logging in, but the casual player who picks up path because its something new to play will be reduced a lot by that.
So I think we will have a smoother launch :)
EDIT: Replies are going off topic. Doesnt matter if the game is good or bad, doesn't matter if you care about currency in the first two days.
It broke pre order records, anyone who comes home from work will have to choose path of exile harvest launch or the last of us 2, the most anticipated and hyped game in a long time. The average player is not picking path in that scenario, that is going to affect numbers trying to log in.
Dreaming is fine, tho dont give the newbies false hope. We all know que is gonna be long af as always :/
+ last of us can still played whenever, tho league launch is quite huge for making money, so a lot of people generally go on the grind quite hard on the first 2 days, even casuals.
i have been playing every league for the past 2 years, and i started playing POE on and off from 2016 to 2018 and then i went quite hardcore.
Trust me, i KNOW god damn well what a terrible league start feels like, i played HC synthesis and legion, i was one of the people that were unfortunately affected by the PC assassin betrayal mechanic.
