Sounds like the same mistake D4 made with spiritborn.

Haha paid DLC for classes……nope. LE was so promising and it’s getting money hungry

Locking core parts of gameplay (classes) behind a paywall is a terrible design decision.

if this PAID DLC classes outperforms any of the existing ones then game just became pay2win. Imho, you should’ve stayed with paid MTX.

I think the most important part is to stay clear of PoE2 for now. I am not sure if a new paid class is the way to monetize as it just promotes the studio to work on only new Paradoxical classes or paid Specializations (also a future possibility), but we’ll see what happens in the future. Good luck

Orobyss “expansion” - free… ok cool
next paragraph: the coolest thing we have to offer will be locked behind paid DLC - gross.

Free seasonal updates and a paid update I can ignore if I want? All sounds good to me. Good luck!

While Paid classes sound weird, to say the least, having FREE expansions is something that I can already see hater commentators are intentionally omitting from their shitposts smh…I don’t think paid classes are a good idea, but I’m fine with it considering the base game is cheap and expansions are free + there is no pay 2 win in this game.

I’m still very hopeful for LE but I find each season more difficult to come back than the last.
I really like the idea of paid classes, I always buy new classes when I play Vermintide and they feel like good value compared to when they sold expansions and more importantly feel optional.
I really hope the very core experience loop in LE can be improved.
I want to bring back friends to play with me but there feels like a lot of friction in LE compared to other options.

ive bought supporter packs, and would be happy to buy an expansion but I dont want to have paid classes and paid playstyles, i would rather support the game other ways. i also dont want to see other people priced out of the gameplay.

While an announcement is nice. The roadmap is literally a giant nothing burger. Free XPAC is nice but paid DLC classes are not. Still no dates for anything, you mention staying on a 4 month cycle but also not saying anything about S4/S5 so everyone is still just guessing about timing. Really needed to say something about anything besides just announcing paid dlc classes. 99% Negative announcement.

Its not hater comments, its reality. I highly support LE and want it not only survive but compete against POE 1 and 2. Its already hard enough to get my friends to try any new seasons. With paid content, i believe this will make this game less desirable and possibly be the death blow to this game.

So paid classes have always been the design philosophy of Last Epoch ?

make the expansion paid, make the classes free. its like FPS games, creating 2 different tiers of players. this is definitely a mistake.

This game needs more diversification, what POE 1 does best is that you can play the game in several different ways, and they have chase goals. (Delves/Mapping/Ultimatum etc etc)
Thats one of the major downsides with LE atm, theres no chase, and its only the same thing you’re doing. Just pushing corruption higher and higher…
Lets gooooo!!! ALL the cry babies out here crying, not stealing my hype.

Paid gameplay features… I dunno man seem like more of a compromise between having to stay true to your spoken intentions and catering to your new investors. Personally I understand of course, but as a consumer I can’t see it anyhow except being a complete L. Surely you took that desicion with consideration, so it’s unlikely that bad reviews will change anything. I suggest finding more solutions.

Is the roadmap that tiny jpeg with no new information in it, or by “today” do you mean it’s still coming?
