Planned Server Maintenance August 20th

Greetings Travelers,

As with previous patches, we will have a period of downtime while we focus on deploying Season 3.

We are currently planning to take Last Epoch servers offline for pre-patch maintenance on 2025-08-20T16:00:00Z.

This downtime will last 24hours, during which Last Epoch will be unavailable to play online until 2025-08-21T16:00:00Z.

During this downtime, you may continue to play Last Epoch in full offline mode by following these steps at the bottom of this post.

Don’t forget that between 2025-08-21T00:01:00Z and 2025-08-25T00:01:00Z - we will have 8 Twitch Drops available for you to earn. Read more here.

Accessing Full Offline

  • Right Click Last Epoch in the list panel of your Steam Library

  • Select Properties

  • Look for Launch Options in the General Tab

  • Select “Play Full Offline” in the drop down menu.

Oh my, 24 hours - luckily I didn’t just buy a copy… Nonetheless, the content is great.

Hmmm, just give me a 40k Space Marine.

6 hour for the Twitch drops are to loooooong imho. 4 hours tops. You can’t watch Twitch and play at the same time as it stops counting after a while, and watching some rando playing a game you want to play yourself ain’t no fun. So please consider shortening the time for your drops in the future.
That’s said, now I got them all, including the cloak. Can’t wait to play the new season!!!

As long as you have more than 1 monitor you can. You don’t even need to have sound in it, you can just use the “Mute tab” in your browser and it will still count.
It will only stop counting if you don’t have the browser visible.

Only have a gaming laptop as I mainly play on my PS5 Pro, only PC game I have is Last Epoch.
I hope they get the console version out next year, that would be great. If it support my bought supporterpacks that is… :wink:

You can just leave the stream on when you go to bed and the next day you should have them all.

Don’t like having stuff on while I sleep, but it’s an option of course.

I suspect I’ll have to do that as well since I’m flying out for a family wedding tomorrow morning & returning Monday evening…

Sorry this just got stuck in my head for whatever reason.

  • But doesn’t it support my thought that Twitchdrops should be max 3-4 hours in total if most people just put on the stream but never watch it?
  • If it was shorter people like me with “only” one screen could watch for a while and then have it on with low volume (1%) while watching TV with my wife.
  • And 3rd and last, I don’t think gamedevelopers like EHG and GGG should endorse this marathonFOMO Twitchstreams. I can only guess how this affects young people out there in the world. I’m an old-ish (56) man so I don’t really care one way or the other, I get it if I can, but I won’t die if I miss out, but for all young viewers that grow up thinking this is normal, well, I feel for them tbh.

Just my thoughts on this, just had to write it out, so I can delete the thought from my mind :wink:

Some people do watch the streams.
Also, you don’t have to get it immediately. You have a whole week to get it. You can watch 1h per day.

As for companies supporting this type of thing, it’s mostly because they realize that streamers bring a lot of new players in. So they’re indirectly also sending players their way as repayment.

If you had to watch 6h and it was available only for a single day, sure. That would be bad. But you do have a pretty generous timeline to do it in. And you can get most MTX without paying anything, since only one is linked to a sub.
Overall I always simply ignored twitch drops in all games and never felt like I was missing out. And I only do twitch drops for LE because I enjoy Aaron’s streams and I do watch them while I play.

They’re not giving any in-game advantage. It’s fine to give free stuff which you don’t actually need in a streaming service.

I’m also old-ish, btw (49). I only created a twitch account last year. Mostly because of Mike’s streams, but then I also started having fun with Aaron’s.
I see no issue with this given the time required to get them and the timeline you have to get them in.

I respect your opinion but if I spend one week watching something I will for sure forget to finish it in time, always some IRL stuff that makes me forget it. I like to watch it all in a stretch and be done with it.
That said, I also watch streams like Mike’s and Aaron’s, but not for the Twitch drops, just because they resonate with me. :wink:

It’s the 21st through 24th, that’s 4 days, 4<<7.

It’s 21 to 25, actually, so 5 days. That is a decrease from previous season launches which were 6 days (and the redux one that was almost 2 weeks).
6 days could still be considered a week, generally speaking. 5 days not so much.

They should do like Hitman /IOI, 1-2 hours for a week x 3 times (=3-6 hours in total)
