1-3 hours doesn't seem like a long time to level up to 90?

That man is delusional 90 lvl is a fking grind-fest. 100 lvl would've taken you like a month of casual dedicated play. And remember — dying costs xp. So if you are familiar with the game and have a proper build it will be around 10-12 hours. Which is not a lot by any margin but forget about 1-3 hours. 5 hours to kill Kitava — considered to be a good pace.

Is the game still F2P?

Yeah it's F2P with micro-transaction (cosmetic only)

Thank you for the clarification! Seems a lot more legit then 1h lvl 90

Yeah, I thought 1-3 hours was all crap

I've read online that at least the 6-link achievement is RNG. Some people play for 10 hours and get it, while others have put in over 3,000 hours and have not been able to get it.

 

It just seems like every single one of you is saying this looks super easy.... and maybe it is, but be prepared to put in many many hours. Some of you making it sound like it's going to be a 15 hour or less platinum and that is VERY far from the truth.

The hardest trophy is completing the Atlas. Maps are RNG drop and some maps are pretty hard + you have limited portals to complete them. On PC its easy to do bc you have good trade and a lot of maps to get from other players. We can only have faith in playstation users to play the game and farm

That's a good point too. The community can play a big role in this.

That's for the PC version.

Most of the people who had access to the beta for the PSN version have been saying it's all been dumbed down and 3 hours to max level seems to be consistent from feedback.

Then again, this might all be a ruse to get more veteran players over. Free to play games don't tend to have a robust player bases on PSN, a few games aside.

Yep, nothing truly difficult here with a good build & some gearing, just time consuming.

 

1-3 hours to 90 is obviously impossible even for seasoned veterans. Starting from scratch expect 12-15 hours to complete the campaign and be in the low 70s when you reach the end-game, which is the mapping system. More if you're a newcomer.

 

Completing all maps will normally take you a while. You also have to amass enough in-game currency to naturally 6-link a chest piece (could easily be >1000 orbs of fusing required here). In addition to killing most end-game bosses which requires some additional farming and learning of their spawn mechanics.

 

I'd say ~60 hours to plat for a PoE veteran, 80-100 for newcomers.

 

With the somewhat random 60 minions trophy in there looks like a summoner build will be the choice for those wanting a 1-character plat.

Nah, nothing seems to be missable. Maybe technically freeing the Scion, it's been so long since I did it on PC that I can't remember if you have to click the cage or not. The Scion is a class that you have to unlock by beating the Act 3 boss. Other than that you can travel back to any point in the game when you want if you missed a waypoint or lore, including reclearing the Act 3 boss if you need to I believe.

Yes, you can play with up to 5 others in a group at any time. Makes things way easier for endgame & bosses of course since you can make complementary builds.

I just now noticed the collect all environmental lore trophy, that's also going to increase the leveling time since you have to explore a lot of the zones thoroughly until you find it, not just run through.

I play on PC.  And this is not something you will do in a few days.  Some people need even a few hundred orb and still don't get 6 connections.

 

Orbs is a currency that does not fall out often, so it is not cheap, so that platinum is only for the really persistent.

Come to think of it, if fully clearing the Atlas actually means also clearing the unique maps, this will be far worse. There are precious few builds that can reliably do the Hall of Grandmasters map fully, and they're all expensive in terms of itemization.

If you want a smoothish plat, probably wise to wait a month or two after release for the game to pick up some economy, then trade for the stuff you're missing like unique maps & more fusings for the 6-link. You can also trade currency for boosts like carries of bosses and hard maps, of course it remains to be seen how active the PoE economy will be on PS4, but the game has a pretty large userbase on PC so it'll probably be possible to buy boosts on PS4 also after a while.

Of course boosting the harder maps & bosses that would otherwise require extensive grinding could cut down the time a lot for those just looking for the plat.
