Guys we realy need to stop justify this pseudo developers.
Damn 9 months of waiting for this little? Either LE was so bad and bugged they had to redesign everything ( and we know they are not doing it ) or devs don`t care about their own game and playerbase.
We were promised a lot now in this 9 months of waiting we are gonna get 1 cycle with 1 etra mechanic ( where we were promised 3 cycles and so 3 extra mechanics so the game start being fun ), also in this 9 months originally we were promised another campaign chapter, update to unique items, procedural generetion for zones(including mono), update to skills(something called skill sigils) transmogs and another pinnacle boss.
And this are only thing i found in they “roadmap” that were promised in this ninth months and are spit into our face with what they show here.
Truth is they earn way more money on launch than expected and now give no sh*t about the game, either sending most of devs to another project or firing extra people so they can have more of this money for themself, yet another time happening same thing showing how bad times gaming industry is having now and we players are allowing this by justifing devs…
Atleast we have promising POE 2 so LE can be uninstalled and never again comed back to this joke of a game.
Ur dumb? Hiring people dont mean they have not fired anyone, and no other OFFICIAL project dont mean they are working on something that is not announced yet… Sometimes i`m realy losing hope on people IQ. Keep trying to justify them.
Man at this point it is not just an insult ur just confirming it. For u this is an argument for me it was assunption based of what we are all seeing, 9 months of development without any releases and now this shit*y annoucment. If u cannot accept others opinion then that`s not my problem.
And once again yes ur dumb, cause u was trying to justify them by saying “they have no other project” - when u dont understand the industry at all and dont know that they can have even several project that are not yet offcial, and “are actually hiring people”. Man atleast read what have you written, and if u have issue with being called dumb don`t post such a nonsense.
We certainly understand the frustration of having to wait so long for an update - it is too long of a period since the last major release, and not what we were originally aiming for. However, for the future of Last Epoch, we felt taking the time now to directly address areas of feedback, and catching up on bugs and issues would help create a better path forward. We are actively expanding our team adding more members, adding both manpower to get more work done, as well as add more specialized roles for better organization and efficiency of task completion. We’re working faster, and completing more than ever before - though It’s 100% understandable that it doesn’t yet look that way. It’s not fun waiting now, but it’s for the goal of making things more fun later.
We appreciate it. A little advice, in addition to hiring more developers: remind about thyself and thy game to people more often, they unfortunately have a very short memory, miracles can be counted on the fingers of one hand, for example the revival of No Man’s Sky.
I’m truly sorry you guys have to deal with folks who don’t fully understand development - keep your heads up. Once the bug debt is paid and updates are flowing these times will be nothing but a blip on the radar.
I’m so excited for April. This is the best ARPG on the market currently. Keep on pushing! Hopefully they nail 1.2! I’m hoping that a decent amount of people come give LE a chance. After playing PoE 2, I’ve remembered that LE has so many more player-friendly systems in place.
Also, going forward, don’t be afraid to do big updates/seasonal resets every 6 months or so if every 3-4 months is not realistic. Switching to an expansion based system may be a good idea as well.
“With these considerations, we have just finalized our launch window for Season 2 and wanted to share the window immediately Last Epoch Season 2 launches April of 2025!”
I certainly hope they did not delay till April due to the speculated PoE1 3.26 release time. If that is the case they need to stop worrying about that overlap. PoE2 should all the evidence they need that GGG is not interested in mainstream ARPG gamers.
Its nice you actually replied. April will come eventually, then we can talk if the time you took as a studio was worth it. But for the sake of many people’s mental health who actually bought the game and supported EHG in many ways, I think that you could have released at least some hotfixes all this time. You chose not to. Well numbers are here. You see them, and sadly I think you will see them in April as well.
IMHO, the problem for delivering patches right now is the imminent upgrade of the game engine.
Any patch would need to be done twice: One for current engine and then for next one. That’s a net lost of development power for an arguably, marginal benefit.
In addition, the time used for the patch duplication would also prevent new content/further patches to be developed.
I am also looking for excuses to login in LE too… but rushing things do not see the way to go
I wouldn’t mind another in-between-cycle event after the engine is released though
