Cool I have a MacBook Pro retina with an Iris 1536MB, so this should work.

That's pretty cool. I don't play games on it, but this might be an exception!
 
Part of the Kickstarter, been following this since the beginning. This is one of the few games releasing this year I'm gonna make time to play. I can't wait.

You are safe with those specs. I've been playing the Beta on my 2011 Macbook Pro 13" with the old Intel HD3000. The only annoyance is that the game crashes on start if I try to start it from Steam. If I start it from the game folder it loads OK.

Woot! Is there going to be gameplay shown, or just the devs chewing the fat? Must temper my expectations.

Gameplay for sure. They even talked about it during that vid of their Project Leads mtg about making sure the latest build was stable for the stream.

I saw a tweet earlier about showing off previously unseen stuff. Whatever that means.

I'm not gonna watch it. I have not seen anything of this game since the Gamescom presentation I got from Josh Sawyer. Gonna go in fresh.
 
stream today? fuck yeah, will watch. Doesn't matter if it's either about areas/gameplay already seen or some new stuff. Can't and won't be spoiled that much, considering the amount of content this baby will have :D
 
Can't wait. Been aching for a deep RPG experience since i finished Divinity in September/October. Planing to start Arcanum this weekend, should keep me occupied until Eternity.
 
They're going to show off the early game. Make sure to watch the stream!

EDIT: My god..that journal..the map......upgrades......beautiful.

EDIT2: Going to be updating some more impressions as he goes along. The detail to the environments are amazing. Combat seems engaging. Anyone that liked Baldur's Gate 2 will love this game for sure. The inspiration source is very obvious, even the red rectangles/squares for traps are similar, to the circles around characters/enemies. Autopause options are also in.

EDIT3: Loving the character sheet/inventory view with the 3D model of the character and everything. Scouting mode is a frikkin godsend for finding loot and stuff. No more spamming TAB, folks.

EDIT4: Good news: Paradoxinteractive mentioned in the chat that there'll be VoD after the stream. I'll definitely be rewatching this one, and you guys that are having issues can watch it later.

EDIT5: Hotkey spells. Cannot change the position of spells on the hotbar atm. That's too bad, but I bet they'll fix it. World map looks neat and I saw a lot of locations, and this is only supposed to be early game. A lot of variety to the areas can be expected.

EDIT6: That worldmap on the table looked awesome. It looked like he could interact with it?? A lot of voice work seems to have been done for the conversations. Great way to introduce quests.

EDIT7: Just purchased the game on steam. Bloodborne and GTA V PC will be on hold once PoE releases on the 26th. The nostalgia from BG series taking over as I watch the stream and knowing that I'll be playing this game makes me want to shed tears of happiness. A freaking GAF inn in the middle of the city as well. GOTY 2015 Top10 for sure.
 
Sounds like they are putting some effort into the stronghold. Which makes me happy as I really enjoy stuff like that in RPGs.
 
YES! Those indicators that show you where everone is going, what they're attacking, JUST what I was hoping they'd add.

Also, looks like they fine-tuned the combat speeds a bit. Looks a lot more manageable and useful now.
 
Haha, that combat info window is the tiniest thing ever. How would anyone ever get use out of it?

And good to see PoE following Wasteland 2's "avatars look almost nothing like portraits" style.
DISAPPOINTED.
 
Hopefully you can change the size of the combat info box or the size of the text in it, not sure how much it is like shown on the stream. The game is looking damn good though.

Streams a little choppy, but goddamn if this game isn't looking great.

yes, but it really frustrates me that the stream freezes up on me like every 5 or 6 seconds. Dunno if it's a problem on my end or theirs.

EDIT: You CAN change the size of the combat log in the Backer Beta. I'm sure it'll be the same in the final game.

luckily witcher 3 was postponed.

very much looking forward to this.
do we know if the steam beta turns into the real game? I preordered the phsysical CE and I am from europe and I will probably have to wait a week or more until it arrives. so it would be nice if the beta either turned into the final game or of they send out the steam codes via mail or make them available in the pledge profile.

I'm 99% sure your beta key is your retail key. I might be getting that confused with Wasteland 2. I'm still pretty sure PoE works that way too. I think the key should be in your backer portal.
 
Stream is fine for me and I'm on laptop.

EDIIT: I'm pretty sure the beta and retail codes are different. I remember them being in two different places in the backer portal and I doubt they'd force the beta people to get the full game on Steam

And the text size too. Sawyer probably has it that large so that people on the stream can see it better.
 
The stream is absolutely flawless for me, I'm able to stream at the highest quality settings without any issue whatsoever. Could just be me being super lucky with streams for once.

It's the first PoE stream in quite a while for me, the game is absolutely gorgeous now especially the lighting.
 
Hey Lady should be the default name for your character, regardless of gender.

Same for me. March 26th can't come soon enough!
 
It really is a gorgeous-looking game. AND IT HAS CAPES! Hooray~


However... That weird bug where all st-words have "o" above them is weirding me out.

lucky you. On my main PC - laggy, constantly freezing and loading. Almost unwatchable.

Tried on my cellphone with a mobile connection unrelated to my broadband one. Stream is still laggy, freezing and unwatchable. Looks like I'm out of luck.
 
Streams better now and seeing an infinity engine style RPG with modern UI is making me very, very excited. Still I have to say RTwP is looking just as mediocre as ever.

Looks as confusing as ever! I'd say that's living up to the Baldur's Gate experience.

At least the status tooltips are there - what a godsend.
