That’s more than 2 or 3, so yeah.

That’s not many countries. It’s some countries, or a few.
While the definition of many is subjective, I think you can agree that 4 out of 195 isn’t many.
Admit it, you just thought there were more countries that used that format

(sidenote: I’m not criticizing you or anything, I’m just trying to poke fun, in case that isn’t apparent)

It might surprise you that more than the few you listed do, but that’s irrelevant as the point still stands that my response to the format conundrum of the poster is that not everyone uses the format he/she was referring to. It might also interest you, or maybe not, that ISO 8601 is trying to harmonize all this into one format used by all (YYYY-MM-DD).

The rest that do actually use both (kinda like how Canada uses both Fahrenheit and Celsius).
And yeah, I’m a programmer, I’d love to have YYYYMMDD as standard.

YYYY MM DD would be a lot better until the other countries realise they’re wrong with their mm-dd-yyyy shenanigans. But I’m also waiting for the US to adopt a sensible temperature unit & the Europeans to speak a sensible language.

The one thing the US (and the UK. I think it’s more of an english thing than a country specific thing) is number notations.
For them numbers go up every 1000. Which means that one thousand million is a billion. For the rest of the world, it’s one thousand million because notations only go up when you have a full notation’s worth, like a million millions, a billion billions, etc.
This leads to very confusing numbers like 5 thousand million billion, 5 thousand million and 5 thousand.
I just wrote that and I couldn’t tell you which number that is without having to make some calculations on it.
Going up in notation every 1k is way more sensible and understandable.
What have I started haha. I was just poking fun at the illogical mm/dd/yyyy format. Last Epoch is about time travel though so maybe it is a future prediction!

This appears to also prevent the ability to play Offline mode as well and not just Online mode. The button animation just spins when you click on the Play Offline button.

Full offline is still working fine, so just switch to it.
It makes sense that normal offline doesn’t work either, since it’s a server issue and normal offline needs server connection.
I’m not sure if this is related or not, but I can’t seem to login in offline mode either. Both on my laptop and my desktop.
As said less than 5 minutes ago 2 posts up.

You gotta launch offline mode from steam.

Yeah, that’s a US thing not a UK thing but we appear to have inherited it from them. Personally I prefer SI, though a different name for every 3 digits is logical.
To access True Offline mode, enable “Launch Last Epoch Offline” in Steam’s Launch Options from the Library

I didn’t even know that was a thing. I just thought offline was offline.
Thanks for the tip, Full Offline works.

I wondered what was going on cause I think I was in an echo fighting a boss and game just crashed. I just found out myself when I went to check files and saw full offline and gave that ago and it worked.
The real benefit to mm/dd/yyyy is Pi Day, otherwise it makes very little sense.

I have to say, it’s awesome interactions like this that make me love this community. There’s a service outage, and what’s going on in the outage thread? People having a passionate conversation about date formats.
Thank you for your understanding. Services should now be back online

You’d get that if it were yyyy mm dd as well.
