These devs just take far too long to do anything in this game.
The campaign is still an unfinished boring slog and it still has a worse end game than diablo3(three).
The load screens are still bugged, the game is a buggy mess in general.

If the game were dead, there wouldnāt be numerous posts complaining about the game being dead. There justā¦ wouldnāt be posts.
Clearly you care enough to post & engage with the game and the community, therefore clearly the game is still alive.
Not really, no. Anthem, that has been abandoned, still has new posts in its subreddit. Even at Concordās Steam hub you still have posts, and you canāt be more dead than that.
The game isnāt dead. Why come here to spread negativity anyways?
Because he can on a public forum. Freedom of speech and what not. Look at the game objectively and tell me that there are no glaring issues that drive the game to the brink of death rather fast. I donāt say itās dead yet and it would be a shame but I get people who say itās dead because with the average player numbers noone can sustain the server costs or dev costs.

Attention hungry, maybe? I donāt know. It seems to be a part of todays new gaming culture to claim games dead because their favorite influencer has not posted about the game for a a week or two. Maybe it didnāt show up in the TikTok feed today. Itās not on page one when you browse Twitch either, so you better uninstall. Have to play what everyone else play, follow the flock of sheep. Maybe he comes from Diablo 3/4 where every drop is a legendary. Instant gratification for everyone!

No, its because its a live service game.
Grimdawn can shutter support for the game, and the game will continue to be playable for years to come.
You can go play torchlight 1 right now!
if PoE or LE shutdown, they are gone forever. Because they are live service. While LE has an offline client, im not sure that you will be allowed to access it forever as their main focus is in live service.
live service lives and breathes by its ebb and flow of players.
Is it overly dramatic to say its dead? yes. is the game suffering right now? for sure. They have messed up their live service pipeline. that is a fact.
We need to be more objective then āgame is deadā and āgame is fine and has 0 problems the devs are pogā

While we are hard at work on creating content and addressing player feedback we of course do see our concurrent player numbers down, but you will find in the near future that the game is absolutely far from dead. There is a very bright future for Last Epoch and LE players.
Weāre working diligently and faster than ever. If you look at our patch notes for major patch releases youāll see that theyāre very extensive. 1.2, or Season 2, will be no different, and very significant.
We look forward to seeing you in game!

I agree completely, but IMO there are two main reasons why thatās not going to happen:
-
The internet is becoming more and more polarized. The middle ground (IMO, more rational) points of views are being drowned by loud extremists who push those who donāt agree with them away and thus create echo chambers
-
Whoās on this forum right now? Itās basically the most ardent fans, who are still playing the game despite the content drought, and the occasional hater who appears to stir trouble. Both those groups only do exactly the kind of post you described.

Hi, nice to hear that work is going on, but please 
Post patch notes, community are starving for news, buzzing in threads like this, lurking in steamDB to find something about 1.1.7.8 etc
Instead of reading official info about progress on unity and json dev tools and good things like switched on altars (portal, spinning beam, ā¦) and visuals

They prefer to throw informations in the noisy void of Discord, where you canāt search, effectively categorize or archive anything.
Because of reasons.
I think itās a communication strategy called āGet fudged, you dumb forumers.ā
Iām a little late to the party, but just came back to play a little bit of LE after a bit of a break and thought Iād check out the forums while i download. Sounds like another angry nerd looking for attention online. If youāre not enjoying yourself then go try something else. Plenty of other games for you out there. No need to get on the forums and tell the world how upset you are that Eleventh Hour Games didnāt customize the game to your personal preferences. I play two cycles. went and tried something else for a bit when a new game came out. Now Iām installing LE again cause I wanted to play it. Maybe go take a break for a bit, clear the angry sand out of the places it shouldnāt be and if you see a patch down the road that seems to your liking or at least and improvement to what you personally expect from a game, then come back and give it another go. I took a break for a bit so I canāt comment on the current state of the game, but I donāt feel the need to come on here and rant about a game the just released not long ago that actually had probably the most complete game that Iāve seen in the ARPG genre. Iām a huge Blizzard fan. Sorry āWASā a huge Blizzard fan since I started out in ARPGās with Diablo 1 and loved the franchise and yet an established developer like them with a huge budget and much more manpower flopped hard with Diablo 4. Itās Season 7 and they still donāt have their crap together. Itās a fairly new game give them a change to improve. Honestly and itās my own opinion as you are entitled to yours. I think LE has the best crafting system of any ARPG out there. Yes, PoE 1 has a lot more to it, but not everyone can be a sweat no lifer and have the time to learn all those systems. I find LE has a very good balance. And we also didnāt have to play AAA price for it like people did for Diablo 4 which wasnāt even finished and then charged another whopper for the Expansion (The rest of the game that should been included with the launch). So Iām really just not understanding the reason/need for your sheer hate rant! For what I paid I already feel that I got much more for my money than Diablo 4. Look man, Iām not wanting to start a 15 page reply debate or argument. Iām just saying, NO COMPANY is able to please everyone, just give them a change. I hope they can turn it around and make this game great cause I really enjoyed myself during the time I put in. Anyway, no hard feelings bro, Iām just busting balls with some of my comments. In the end itās just a game, no sense in stressing about it like that, itās not worth your health! Anyway I hope Eleventh Hour Games can turn things around and with that provide some content that appeals to your liking. Keep at it Eleventh Hour Games, the game base is great. just needs a good polish! In case you were wonder Iām much beyond the 200 hour playtime. I put in almost 1800 hours during the first two cycles.

I come back to this game every now and thenā¦ kind of miss it, but then the endgame comes and I get a bit burnt out. I hope they improve the monolith system.

I mean, he isnāt wrong. The game went from 260k to 1.5k peak. Those numbers + people on the forums acting like elitists whenever you provide feedback = game deserted. I feel pissed to have given this much money to the devs when nothing has changed besides minor bug fixes, but the game is still overtuned/hasnāt changed much in the endgame for nearly a year.
I pretty much only use steam to play this game and other āmust-playā games, but I havenāt loaded steam in nearly a year because there is no urge, as there are much better ARPGs out there that actually make changes based off of player feedback, and quick.
Little story: you saw my post above there? I missed this game, and came back and fired up my warlock (level 85 in empowered monosā¦ 100 corruption, nothing fancy), and I have 1-1.5k HP + much much more ward, and capped resistances and nearly capped crit avoidance and I proceeded to get off-screen killed by one of those āOspirix Lightmageā meteors, and thenā¦ uninstalled immediately after thatā¦ but hey feel free to flame. There arenāt many other alternatives to play right now, rightā¦ right? <cough cough D2-D4, PoE1-2, etc.>
Edit: See you guys in another 6 monthsā¦ maybe.

Thatās a you problem 
.
Looking at all the batches you have you backed the game very early on and since then a lot changed. Sure in the last moths nothing much happened but at least the devs finaly got that they need to have a solid foundation to build a game on and stopped doing minor bandaid fixes.
I get it you are pissed off as many other people but at least half of your problems have been produced by yourself. Sure Iām with you on the topic that some people overpraise and defend the game like a hill to die on and a lot of valueable feedback seems like it was dismissed because it was given by whoever. From the outside this looks a bit like an echochamber problem but it could simply be they follow their own philosophy. Whatever if you buy something that turns out to be possible crap and you get crap you invested your money inā¦ crap.

I still follow the forums as I thought it was a pretty great game and I am interested in if anything should change. The delay to April for the next update is the writing on the wall. I think theyāre done and just havenāt gotten around to telling us yet. I saw something similar with DoW III when that came out, but I could be wrong.
I donāt think I can say anything others havenāt said better. Itās just the end game. I read here someone said you get about 90% of your gear really quick, and the last 10% is just effed in an RNG hell Iāve never experienced before.
Anyway, I believe itās about as simple as that. For what itās worth, itās really fun up until that point. I really enjoyed the gameplay up until that point.
