You might be angry at me. You might not understand what I’m trying to say. THIS IS COMPLETELY the ANGER of someone who has spent 12,000 hours on this game. I’ve been playing games for 40 years, and look at the teaser you showed us, “DEAR EHG TEAM.” Is this how you make us play your game? You show a JPEG image during a talk and call it a teaser. It’s both funny and makes me feel like I’m being treated like an idiot. You’ve been working for about five months with your new team. You showed us a roadmap — which you did only because you got backlash from thousands of players. Is there anything in your game that actually excites me or makes me look forward to it? The discussions on Discord, the bugs in the game, everyone trying to stay positive — that’s all great, but there’s nothing here that actually feels like progress. I’ve been playing Torchlight Infinite since the beta, I look at the new upcoming season, and then I look at Last Epoch, and the difference is clear: if LE is 1, TLI is 100. You could have just made a 2-minute video for us players: “Look, here’s the content we’re working on for the game right now, and if you have any small content suggestions, let’s put them in a poll and add them.” But you don’t do even things like that. Seriously, EHG TEAM, what are you doing? How do you expect to bring back me and others who have quit the game, or those who see no future in it?
This isn’t an airport, you don’t need to announce your departure.
Go bark somewhere else.
This departure information is announced with a very serious feedback which is absolutely a viable point.
It’s one of the major things from EHG which pisses me off as well, the absolute ineptitude in regards to information provision as well as how to have a at least half-way decent content pipeline.
So I can only agree with OP’s anger. Those little picture spoilers without any content in them are not spoilers… they’re just wasted time. Unless there is a established position which gets a large portion of the playerbase into trying to decipher hidden meanings (some rare games manage that) it’s entirely worthless, as good as nothing. And let’s be clear here… LE is lore-wise extremely weak and not even usual lore fanatics do care as much about it as would be normal… so the lore-based informations fall entirely flat.
I mean… just look at Eterra Monthly’s writing this time:
The details are still too distant to report on just yet, but simply knowing Morditas is free and filled with bloodlust is enough to send a chill down your spine that has nothing to do with the weather.
Does it? Who was Morditas again? Why would I give a single shit?
Also it’s really bad style to write down how you as the viewer is supposed to feel related to something. That falls into storytelling techniques and is commonly only done in relation to first-person based stories which have already acquired a immense immersion by that time… not as a random sentence to tease a mysterious new mechanic more then half a year away.
Those are arround since the first friday stream and noone complained about them. It’s called a teaser and as it seems it’s for teasing people. Showing a pic that could be whatever makes people speculate and people like to do this kind of stuff.
I don’t give one about the whole thing. Was a waste of time reading it from start to finish.
Then why are you here in the first place? Why are you even replying? Is the problem really with the topic here, or is it with you?
I think he meant Eterra Monthly a waste of time.
As for the validity of this thread, it’s ok. It adds feedback, which is valuable for those who care. I also am often angry and disappointed with LE development speed, but i haven’t deleted it yet. I’m not playing it either, because S3 bored me already long time ago.
As for Morditas - i remember this being, some kind of demigod or something, in campaign was trapped by “spear of destiny” thing we take and release it this way. It was said to defrost in some time. But why are we supposed to be terrified lore-wise? Travellers slay gods and now we are supposed to be afraid of this puny being? Nah.
As for leaving the game - i wish you find your peace and some fun here or somewhere else ![]()
Check up again and read what people wrote with former teasers. They absolutely have been complained about forever.
Then compare it to a teaser with other games. If we look at PoE for example we get individual items which are going to be released. A unique that might be interesting. A specific Affix that hasn’t been seen before. Some sorta loot item nobody can make sense of what it does yet.
The sheer quality of those teasers is entirely different.
But I agree! It can make people speculate! But for that the respective picture needs to have relevance to the players. That’s what I wrote out as well:
This part is important. If you have no idea what direction the revelation of something can take it has no meaning. Not even for speculation.
Let’s once again compare it again to PoE here (I know I do that a lot, just the most known timeline for me there, others do the same) again.
If for example GGG releases something related to the Vaal every player knows by now ‘this is a mechanic related to corruption in some way!’. Then it follows by specific items usually, and from that people try to derive a proper conclusion as to what the actual mechanic or direction will be more precisely.
Where is that a thing in LE? We can speculate… but since we neither know the theme it’ll go in for Morditas. Berserker stuff? What could that be? Or is it elk-based? There is no theme since the lore isn’t properly established. Hence we cannot properly speculate with meaning behind it.
So people don’t do it… or where were the last big talks about lore and implications related to Morditas? Even the wiki is laughable for information… a single paragraph which tells is nearly nothing… as nothing is known.
This is nothing new, EHG has always been terrible at communications and marketing.
Just manage your expectations, take a break and come back.
Source please. That’s the first time I hear someone complain.
