I would generally like it if you could play Last Epoch without creating an account like most ARPGS do and if you want to play online it will automatically log you into Steam, GOG or Epic Games Store. Unless you want to be a member of the forum then you have to create an account but I find the registration process to play Last Epoch a bit cumbersome
that’s true but that only works once you have created an account and i would find it easier if the immediate choice was to link directly to Steam or other providers i find it a bit of a hassle to register most of the time unless you want to become a member of the respective forum and the decision should be up to the buyer of the game and not the developer i think at least
it would be great if the developers would offer an easier registration process as described above - there are probably also players who don’t want to register in the forums of the respective game
I have nothing in general against creating an account the registration process would be easier and I think one can or should not force the player to register in a particular forum just to play a game unless there is the possibility to delete himself from the forum and still use the game via account link of the particular platform at Launcher it is mandatory to create an account I hope that you do not feel offended as a developer
i generally find it a bit stupid no matter what game you play, just to play oflline for example, to log in with mail and password even though you are already automatically logged in with the launcher of the respective provider.
In the case of the developers of Last Epoch I would have voluntarily registered in the forum to support Last Epoch and I’m sure that many players are deterred from buying a game or playing for free if they are forced to register for an account
I think its like it is, just for the simply reason its easier to program. Things like account security so no one else gets your password. Rather than making two launchers!
Also think we have to log in for features like in game chat. Also think they monitor the game as we play, to gather data on game performance etc! (not 100% sure if that’s true or not, just something I have read in another article)
Yes I know you want to play offline, so won’t have/ limited access to internet. But it means if you every chose to play online it’s already there!
