You’re very fast with the phrase “they lied to us”.
Did you even read the post you linked? Here are some quotes regarding multiplayer development. Easy to find, if you read the blogs:
While multiplayer is a system that is “ready when it’s ready” we’re very excited to expand testing to our community tester team in the near future and to be more vocal about our progress, plans, and timeline.
Learn more about multiplayer
To provide more insight into how multiplayer is developing, today we are pushing out our first monthly multiplayer development update to keep you informed on how we’re progressing and a new Multiplayer FAQ to answer common questions regarding multiplayer systems and their development.
Multiplayer Info Quicklinks:
We are very confident, excited, and busy as heck in our quest to bring multiplayer to the game. Because getting it right is more important than getting it now, the release date for multiplayer is “ready when it’s ready”. With the transparency we’ll now be providing, “when it’s ready” won’t be a completely nebulous timeframe.
On the whole, we have a vision for a format of Last Epoch Multiplayer that we can release to wider testing before we’re done adding all the campaign/endgame content. Many of the goals above will bring us there, and some of them will be ongoing for more than this month. The closer some of these features get, the easier it will become for me to give you a harder date on when we’ll start opening up for some opt-in testing.
When will multiplayer be released?
Because it is more important that multiplayer is received well rather than received quickly, multiplayer will be released when we believe it’s ready. We’ll be providing regular updates of what we’re working on (look for posts titled Multiplayer Development Post - Month ) so you have a better idea of how much longer it may be until you’re able to play with other Travelers in Eterra.
5. Start preparing to add Multiplayer to the Community Tester Program
I probably should have been anticipating the response here, as I caused some chaos for our support team by having the community reach out through our support network sorry!
We had an overwhelming response of people interested in involving themselves in our Community Testing program, no doubt aided by the fact that it might involve early Multiplayer Testing.
I want you to know that we’ve received everybody’s responses and we’ll eventually be selecting new candidates as we get ready to test our game at scale - if you’ve already applied we will eventually get to you.
State of the Multiplayer
We know players are excited about multiplayer in Last Epoch and we can’t wait to play with all of you, however, there is still work to be done before we can open the floodgates. We feel it is important to remain transparent about our progress, which is why we publish a monthly multiplayer status report. Last week, we released Multiplayer Progress Update - September 2021 . To learn more, check also our Multiplayer FAQ .
Multiplayer When?
We know you all want more information about multiplayer system specifics and a release date to put on the calendar. While I can’t give you a specific date, I can give you the information I do have. Going forward we will be more transparent and communicative on the specifics and keep you up to date on all the great progress that is being made.
This service was free. If you are interested in Multiplayer and Last Epochs development progress, I’d suggest to read through all of the posts, I linked.
All this info makes it very clear that nobody “lied” (to make an untrue statement with intend to deceive). But your continued accusations look like you are somehow acting in bad faith.
