I haven’t checked up on this in a while, but last time I played offline I was not able to use cosmetics. I am getting back into Last Epoch now and I’m loving the game; it keeps getting better and better. I would like to support the game, but if I only play offline and cannot use any cosmetics, then I am not sure the best way to support the game because all of the support packs and cosmetic purchases available would be unusable.
Thanks for any help and advice!

Honestly the best thing you can do is spread the word and be positive about the game.
The game still has a lot of stuff coming even though its quiet right now.
Other than that you could gift a couple of copies to friends that are on the fence.

Thanks for the reply! Is there a good way to gift a copy? Can I do that through Steam or something?
Yes via steam that works. Just put something in your cart and select gift during the checkout process.
As Heavy mentioned, another way you could support the game monetarily while only playing offline, is buying copies of the game for your friends & family. I only play online so I’ve got cosmetics and stuff, but I’ve also purchased at least 4 copies of the game for friends just because I love it so much
Thanks for the feedback. I’m going to try and get a few friends into the game by gifting them copies.
Is there any word/plan on offering monetary purchases for offline players?
You could always buy support packs anyway, even if you don’t use the points. Maybe that will change someday and you’ll be able to.
Though I can understand that it can be bad to buy something and not be able to use it.
If I might ask, is there a specific reason why you don’t play online? At the start the servers were kinda iffy, but they’ve long since stabilized. I play online all the time and I barely have any issues ever.

Not that we know of.
In part, it’s because LE offers true offline mode (in the steam settings). So that you could play with zero internet connection. Because of that option, they haven’t been able to offer MTX to that game mode. I think there are some other reasons as well though.
I prefer a solo offline experience. I don’t have to worry about or rely on wifi at all which is amazing; I love the consistent performance, faster loading speeds etc. My wifi can sometimes flake out which is annoying as well. I also pretty much only play for the experience of figuring things out and enjoying the game and don’t have any plans to play with other people so playing online has no point right now other than the cosmetics.
I like the idea of just buying the cosmetic packs to support them anyways. If I can’t find anyone to gift the game to I’ll end up doing that. Thanks for the feedback.

I’d like to give some copies away to friends, but no one is having it. Do you think there are some streamers or youtubers like ActionRPG that I could give copies or donations to that could give facilitate the giveaways?
Yeah, I’m sure at least Aaron would do that. He’s given away keys in the past that community members donated to him before. Just go to his discord server and inquire around. It’s a friendly community.
