Bro you are dumb!
While continuing to compare apples to apples, now the class that came in the expansion also costs money. And the expansion is only free to those who already had the game, which yay for us right? But the biggest turn off for me is to go to a game page on steam and see DLC that isn’t just cosmetics totalling more than the base.
How it will affect people’s desire to pick up the game is hard to say, but if people read these or steam forums, it’s probably going to be pretty negatively unless they can clean up the base game they have first.
In my opinion the game has other issues than to less classes. Especially paid…And that JPEG not a roadmap. I think I’m done. Good luck.

Inverting the paid components won’t change much. You would have either to choose between new content (not only campaign related) and new classes. You will miss stuff nonetheless if you don’t pay.
I have no issue in paying a bit extra for a DLC for a great game like Last Epoch. Many people say that PoE is free and all, but the reality is that we all spend money on PoE buying extra tabs or what have you.
The way the game first described how it would make money didn’t make sense back then. I have as much faith on this game now as I did when I purchased an early release copy years ago. I do believe you are doing the best decision you can giving the circumstances. Forget what other ARPGs are doing and focus on what you what to do and your vision and all shall fall into place.
Thank you for the update and keeping us in the loop. I hope to support you guys in many years to come.

Its sad when I feel less fucked in the ass by a free to play arpg like TL:I that has paid drop boosts.
But hey atleast I get all the classes for free as long as I dont wanna play the new one.
I cant wait for years of paradox characters sitting unbought and just never getting them so krafton can hope some rube goes and buys them all.
No, you’re dumb. You prefer to shout because he’s announcing something you have to pay for, something you don’t even have to pay to play and that probably won’t cost much. Wake up!

How about properly doing it in your Forum rather then a 3rd party site? Which is another issue you guys have besides… whatever this announcement was.

I regret all the 500 hours I’ve sunk into this game, and the supporter pack to go with it.
It’s been fun. Farewell.

Paid classes are in a way - Pay to Win.
I have no problem paying for them BUT on principle alone, this is a bad move and will lead to player trust erosion, which you currently have a lot of. Don’t burn it.
My recommendation - stick to supporter packs, make them cooler and people will support you. Don’t lock content behind paywalls tough.

That roadmap is something else! Why did it take so long?
Nice that the expansion will be included with the base game. We’ll see how the DLC class works out, hopefully not pay to win.

Paid classes are just one way to implement P2W which is even more of an F-U to players because the game isn’t free. Huge mistake by EHG. I will not be returning.

While I’m very excited for new content and it is nice to hear a bit more (especially about Krafton’s AI-first approach not changing how you work on the game), paid gameplay DLC is quite the change from cosmetic MTX only. (Even if a small DLC and MTX might be thought of differently here.) I understand a paid expansion and would even have been fine with just a minor launch discount, but the entire joy of the game is to just jump in without being gated out of gameplay options. And even being understanding of finding ways to create revenue, this feels like a bit of a betrayal for anyone who happily tried to support the game where they could cause it was only cosmetics.
I am looking forward to seeing the paradox classes come to life and really hope you reconsider this paid DLC choice…

I mean… for it not to be Pay2Win it would need to be weaker then other classes… so… that would be kinda a odd thing to release.
And getting it ‘just right’ is not exactly a thing which will happen, if it’s tested and upholds power properly to other classes it means anyone finding a single interesting combination not tested will cause it to be OP.

I feel like everything is ok. We have a free expansion, and any entertainment company needs to earn somehow.
Especially since it is very likely that the more EHG can earn, the more Krafton will stay away.
I know, ideal would be for everythng to be free in the world but it simply doesn’t work this way.
I feel it was more in line with EHG decision, rather than the greedy evil big money company, to make other classes the paid feature instead of a lore-containing expansion.
I mean, you want new classes? You got bored of the ones existing? That’s because you got 1k hours on the game, you baboon. You already got back in entertainment way more than the 27 dollars the game costed you in the first place.
The lore continues outside the game you paid and we don’t want you to pay more for it? You get it for free, imagine.

It’s more than a little disheartening that EHG abandons their own forums for Reddit. This is the only post here in months and even then you are doing everything you can to not be here. Do any of the 100-ish workers even look at these forums at all?
Edit: from the Reddit thread:
: Will the new Paradox Classes be pay to win?
A: No, the new Paradox Classes will leverage all new features in Last Epoch but will be balance tested the same way, and against all available classes.
Honestly fills me with dread. The class balance in this game is abysmal.
