Hello everyone.
I am new to LE and so far i’m really enjoying the game, i’m just 9 hours into the campaign but so far i like what i experienced and i’m sure i haven’t seen it all, in terms of the story i do feel that it needs (if that’s the devs plan) to be polished and deeper if intends to feel more immersive.
I wonder what will happen after the full release, being in Early Access to me it feels good and bad, let me explain, it feels good because coming from PoE which i really liked but it just felt overwhelming and sometimes way to complex, LE is giving me the chance to be part of the journey from the early days, get the feel of the game and time to try and understand it but also the downside for me personally is that being at EA i always fear that this game, that has huge potential in my eyes, has the risk to just hit the ground and be forgotten or given up by the devs, i’m only saying this because of personal experiences i had in the past with a few titles that didn’t survive along the way and some didn’t even saw the light of full release.
The initial impressions have me optimistic even on the devs side, they seem very active here in the forums and in discord and to very open and interactive with the community which is a very healthy and good sign going forward and i do hope that that transparency and interaction will always be here for the entire life cycle of Last Epoch.
I noticed that there is a roadmap that the devs intend to pursue but i wonder, because of course this game will always be compared to others of the genre like Diablo, Grim Dawn and mostly i believe Path of Exile, what will happen to Last Epoch after full release or better what’s next for LE after full release? We know that ARPG’s have the need to launch dlc’s/expansions/leagues/seasons to keep players invested and also to introduce new content to the game so i’m curious about what you guys think that can be expanded or introduced to LE in the future?
As a big fan of Diablo and Diablo 2, Grim Dawn, Titan Quest and others i tried i really do want Last Epoch to thrive and to be successful because the game even being in EA feels good and plays good, of course issues are a given and i hope it will be improved and fixed, the community is great and the devs seem to be very transparent and always someone on the team reaching out through forums or other platforms which is key, keep your community close 
, i really hope this game to grow and improve upon itself and establish itself in the ARPG genre just don’t be a punch in the stomach like Wolcen was to me at the end.
I really would like to hear from you guys about all this that i have said, let’s grab some coffee and chat 
I’m really sorry for the long post and thank you for your time reading through it.
Side note: Is the issue with the forums badge fixed because i can’t see mine.
Have a great day, stay safe!
