PSA: Bind Spectre will not be available at the start of EA due to technical issues that couldn't be fixed.

This is gonna be the first piece of news that makes people actually realize they're playing an Early Access title.

The devs could do a full tree reset and have us all start new characters in a week. Anything can happen.

Buckle up

oh...

I guess I have to change my plan then

What's the chance that this wasn't even a minion-related issue and was actually just a DD issue.

Aw, I was leaning towards focusing on Spectres for my starter... back to the drawing board.

F's in chat for Kay!

welp there go me playing minions. I was a bit iffy on minions already after seeing the infernalist tree, and then hearing that the demon form will be bugged so you lose spirit from weapons, but this has now killed any desire for me to start a minion character for now. Archmage mana stacking stormweaver is a go. Hopefully minions get fixed soon.

Along with the Demon Form being bugged, kinda seals the deal for me to not play Infernalist as my first build. Need a new plan now, dang.

Big gutpunch for us minion players.

EA gonna EA. It'll be fine guys. Give it some time.

super sad. I really love spectres. Best thing of poe for me. But it is EA after all. Still happy to play this weekend :)

rip :(

Man...

F Kay

Nooooooooo My build..... Nooooooooo Damn

So it begins

I wonder what will be disabled post launch

its minionover

Noooooooooooo!!!!!! I wanted to collect every mini boss in the campaign.

R I P

that's a hugely unfortunate bit of news since that looked like one of the fucking coolest skills in the game.

minions are still interesting but way less so without that option IMO

Rip, guess il be waiting on witch, was bouncing between spectre vs other. Choice is now other

Massive loss for minion enjoyers. Guess Im going low life demon form now

Fuck it, i'm going Warbringer then. I want to see what Ancestral spirits actually do (totem monkey that ran into a wall).

I am holding off on summoner waiting for proper minion, DoT, curse ascendancy, so this just reinforces my belief that it is better to wait.

Ghazzies and Kays in shambles

Well the most interesting thing about summoners is gone, I wasn't going to play one either way but my friend that only plays summoners and really loves raise spectre in poe1 is going to be sad.

Technically this might not even make the builds worse in poe2 you can just take more skeletons, its just super fun skill to tinker with

Jokes on you I just plan to get 30 skeleton archers with GMP and fork

Is funny that yesterday Kay announced that she'll be playing Bind Spectre and this morning GGG worried that Kay will find that one OP Spectre that they haven't tested yet. GGG been trying to nerf Kay since 3.15 or so.

glad i didn't decide to do a minion starter

I got a friend going full minions, should I tell him to back off, how bad is this news?

Abandon the minion dream.

surprised, i am not

Well this killed my excitement for my first build lmao not going minions now :(

Glad I ended up deciding not to start minions.. rip to Kay's starter plans though

hope they manage to fix it fairly soon, along with Demon Form

If its because of DD then just... disable DD?

Damn, for years in PoE 1 i never end up playing minions and at some point of the league i say: "Next season is it imma do minions", i finally was dead set on going minions for poe2 :(

Is the build rly dead without bind specter? Or shoul i just go with minions and wait for the fix?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Gonna be honest, completely forgot this gem was a thing. So thankfully this changes nothing about my minion plan.

Kay won't be happy about this.

that's sad, start of the ea is bad for minion builders in some aspects

Ghazzy in shambles

Meh. Glad they were straightforward about it. Personally, I wasn't planning to use spectres for my starter Blood Mage Queen (minions). I mean, we know nothing at all about the monsters, so how can you plan around a minion you haven't discovered yet? So spectres can wait until I'm ready to roll an Infernalist. By then I'll have some ideas of monsters I would want to try out and I'm sure that whatever's up it'll be fixed by then.

KayGaming in shambles.

RIP Kay, I hope she has a good back up. Looking forward to what she cooks up.

Where are the minion build defenders at? XD

Jokes on you, I have no clue what that even means. WE GOING IN RAWWWWWWWWWWWW

People dont get that EA is basically paying to betatest and everything can change (ascendancies ,item, skills etc)

We are guinea pig to detect and correct problems and bugs.

dont expect the polish a finished game should have

What discord is this ss from?

Not surprising but a little disappointing for the minion andies.

well, now i am sad... thanks for info
