Why I don't play Last Epoch any more!

[Heavy]

I just want to quote something from Mox, the CEO and Game Director of EHG here, which I think is very important.

@Moxjet200

I cannot overstate how important it is to EHG that multiplayer is executed correctly. A bad initial multiplayer experience can harm the game for all players and jeopardize the success and reputation of the studio long term, much more than holding it until it’s ready. We want multiplayer to be enjoyable when we first release it without confusion or game-breaking bugs, even in early access. Several games with many more resources have failed to stick the landing on multiplayer, so we’re making sure to learn everything we can from those mistakes and not to repeat them. While we still may make some mistakes, we’ll be able to react and iterate on them quickly.

• First: EHG admits that they will most likely do mistakes and that is very admirable in this industry.

• Second: Players don’t care if a game is alpha, beta or early-access. As soon as its accessable in some capacity, people will judge it and very likely will call it a flop, fail, disaster or what ever fancy words that make good headlines you can come up with.

The route EHG gone, with making their game accessable very very early on in their journey already caused the game to improve heavily, but a feature like multiplayer needs fundamnetally good systems and tech backing it up to work properly, otherwise EHG will not get any feedback how to improve. (If they have massive login and disconnect issue, there is no way the community will be able to help them improve that)

Releasing it, just for releasing it as soon as possible will not do the game any good.
