If a season is 3-4 months and I’ve missed a few weeks or more then I won’t bother playing the season content since I feel there is not much time left to experience the content.
For example I played a few hours this season but not enough to experience any of the seasonal content so I really have no idea what any of it entailed since I never reached it.
I wanted to play last night but stopped myself because there is only a few days left before a new season so whats the point in playing now right.
Seasons in LE aren’t yet really seasons.
Everything they’re adding is core and is being added to both the new Season and to legacy as well (as well as offline).
So the only difference between a cycle character and a legacy character, currently, is that you get a fresh start and leaderboards. Everything else is the same and you don’t miss out on anything.

Hi @JayZilla77 you will be glad to know that there is no time limit on content added to Last Epoch. Even if you started playing after a season ended, all of the new content from that season is available to you forever. There is no seasonal content in Last Epoch, every update that adds something to the game, or changes something in the game, is available to you forever.

At the moment. Because they’ve not yet finished adding “core” content. They’re inclined to add normal seasonal content like the other games do after they finish adding core content.

Question is, what made you think there is “not much time left to experience the content”? It sounds like someone is gonna take the content away from you.
Content from the previous season would be the Nemesis encounters, the Loot lizards, the Harbingers and Aberroth. And none of those are going away 
so your saying that in the next season I can finish the content from the current season with my existing character and use that character to then enjoy the new season content as well ?
Yes. No content is going away. And the new content will be available in legacy as well. And even in offline.
The issue I think is that to play the new content you need to create a new character, rather than continue the journey with your existing character. For example this season I got to the Harbinger Eye content but never progressed the story because I had no idea what to do, it really was not clear, I clicked the Eye in my inventory and it disappeared from my inventory and never gave any indication why so I gave up playing the new season.
seasons in other games also function differently so perhaps the term seasons needs to be changed or something - I miss the days before seasons when these were simply called content updates, patches and expansions which could be enjoyed at any time
The harbinger eye does nothing until you finish the Forgotten Knights faction. It’s a key for the Abberoth fight.
If you clicked and it went away, it was probably moved to your stash and it’s in there somewhere.
You will get one eye for each harbinger you fight along the questline, for a total of 10. Once they’re all done (last is at 300c and I would advise to do the hard ones first), you get 10 attempts at fighting Abberoth, though you probably need to be farming 500c comfortably to have a shot at him.
But the same content is available to any character, including characters you might have from 1.0 or even before that.
Seasons in LE are intended to eventually work the same way they do in PoE, where you get a seasonal exclusive mechanic or uniques or whatever.
But for now, they are still adding what they consider core content for the game. So when they add it, they add it to all modes at the same time (although they can stagger it a little, like they did in 1.1 where you couldn’t fight Abberoth until someone killed him with a seasonal character).
This will eventually change, although they still don’t know what the seasonal content will be. But this season and probably the next 2, will still be core content.

If you clicked and it went away, it was probably moved to your stash and it’s in there somewhere.
this was a bug a few users reported, clicking it made it disappear from the inventory with no indication of what it was for or anything when clicked. It does not exist in the stash or inventory and returning the harbinger portal treats you as if you never got the first eye but you can’t trigger the event to get the first eye again so your stuck in limbo so I gave up figuring I did something wrong.
Well, hopefully it’s fixed on season 2. I can’t say that ever happened to me. I always just moved it to the stash until I eventually finished the quests, so I didn’t try to use it.
You can still keep advancing the quest, just don’t try to use them. Store them in your stash until you finish the quest and have all your eyes (9 now, apparently) and can try Aby.
No. They won’t. And stop spreading this shit. You’ve been doing it for years. Standard players deserve to have all the content just as much as those who enjoy temporary leagues.
Stop bothering with other people’s fun.
That is because Mike has said on stream that they want to do seasonal exclusive stuff once they’re done adding core content. It’s not something Llama made up. It’s something Mike has said they want to do.

And in another stream he made it clear that it was something to “be studied”. I don’t understand this desire that temporary league players have that Legacy players can’t have access to all the content that is released. Understand and accept: There are people who don’t give a damn about temporary leagues.
And they are right if it entertains them.
Locking content after league is outdated.
Whoever wants to play in their league should go and be happy. Just stop thinking that just because they play in the league, they have the right to exclusive content.
This is completely wrong!

There’s no need to be aggressive. I don’t care about leagues either. I’ve played legacy from the start in LE.
But it’s not really an outdated concept. New seasons are what bring people back to play. Legacy players will always finish the season content much faster than seasonal ones. So they won’t stick around as long.
Most don’t even come back regularly. They just think “It’ll be there in a couple months or next year, no hurry”.
Seasonal players are what keep the numbers up. And they will only return regularly if there’s a reason to do it.
The only issue I have with PoE leagues is that you never get the same thing in standard. You always get a watered down version of the mechanic.
If they were to introduce a mechanic as season-only and you knew for certain that it would be added to standard as is (minus balance fixes, of course) 4 months later, then that wouldn’t be an issue.
You could then play in standard the new content that was seasonal-only last season and not miss out on anything.
Yes. They will. Or at least it’s their intention/desire to do this.
I agree, but that doesn’t invalidate what I said.
I’m not, I’m just trying to more accurately set people’s expectations. Rather than tell them something which is not true.
Quite possibly, and that’s why I said what I said. At no point did I say that it’s definitely going to chamge, only that they are inclined to change it.
Which is probably why only D3/4 does it & I’d imagine/hope that EHG follow GGG’s lead in adding the seasonal content to standard after a point in time.
Just because you don’t like a thing doesn’t mean that it’s not a successful thing. It’s not all about you.

All this blah blah blah just proves my point:
You guys are bothered by Legacy players.
Seasons are like leagues in PoE, almost everything will go core in some way, at least until they reach the tenth season and a bad season will not go core.
Considering that I, at least, have only played legacy so far, like I already said before (and I think Llama is a legacy player as well), means that all your blah blah blah just means that you don’t actually read what people write and you just want to vent and lash out at anyone.
