game single player or multiplayer?

[The Coiote Legend]

informations steam no singleplayer?

Hey there!

Thanks for your question.

So Last Epoch is going to offer the following;

• Online-only characters you can't play offline.
  
• Offline-only characters you can't play online.

We'll be testing multiplayer during beta, but for the moment the builds we release to the community are primarily client-side.

Some ideas we've discussed but not committed to yet include;

• Allowing people to duplicate online characters for offline play.
  
• Offering LAN support for friends to play offline characters together.

Are these things that you'd be interested in? If you had to choose one, which would you prefer?

Copy the multiplayer with Diablo 3, it's the best thing in the arpg genre!

Online-only like D3 or ♥♥♥♥♥♥ like PoE?

Sigh, why do fanboys always look for Diablo in every ARPG they see. This is Last Epoch, not Diablo. Contact Bluzzard, and share with them your ideas. Oh, wait, they only care about the stock market. Lol. Stop expecting Diablo in every single ARPG you see.

How can I say this correctly, Diablo lives only thanks to the system unifying players! I want to be part of the clan, I join the clan. I just want to play with people of interest, I join the community. You need to go for some kind of tasks, I choose this task from the list and I will join the game in which people do this task! Everything is very simple!
And I did not understand why you wrote me, write a blizzard, if they already did all this back in 2014!))

[iicycube]

I rather wish its similar to Diablo style with the online char showing around the lobby and this would be remind of the prime old day..
Online = only for online
offline = offline play only

It doesn't need to be diablo but it's silly to completely dismiss the most successful game of it's genre when it comes to design principles that made this entire genre popular in the first place. Diablo did things right, analyzing diablo's success and learning how to incorporate it in their own game will make it better. There's an amazing 1-hour video from a week or two ago where the creators of PoE talk about their success and how they made their game succeed, and a HUGE part of that was by analyzing diablo and taking inspiration from it.

Take a look at Anthem for example... It has been exposed that Bioware refused to acknowledge Destiny 1&2 during development saying stuff like 'this isn't destiny 2' whenever it was brought up during meetings. As a result, the game is a massive failure that's repeating a lot of the same mistakes that destiny 1 & 2 made.

Path of exile never even tried to hide that they were a spiritual successor to Diablo 2, they rode that train because everybody was hating on Diablo 3 in those days and PoE embraced their chance.

Tbh I prefer PoE then Diablo 3, and it's even free to play and not p2w, Blizzard has gone dark for me since quite a while for me, I bought Diablo 3 for like almost 80$ and it was my worst purchase of all times, but the hype was quite big and "cheated" me into buying that turd excuse of game

But Diablo 2 still remains to be my favourite ARPG of all times, but hey tha'ts just me, I probably have spent thousands of hours on Diablo 2 alone, which says a lot. I wouldn't even mind if they made Diablo 4 as a remake of diablo 2 with better graphics and maybe some new content, perharps a whole new act that would continue Diablo 2 story or new zones to play to make it interest even while giving me old times nostalgia, guess Blizzard is getting worse and worse and that mobile version of next Diablo killed the franchise for me

RIP Diablo, you will be remembered

Diablo 3 was conceived as a single game with a cooperative, but then people continued to play running around the locations, and the Blizzards decided to make an addition with the adventure mode. So, if we consider the game as a single, then it was a success. Yes, a year after the release of the supplement, the game had nothing to do. PoE, on the other hand, was on its way to becoming and saw what Diablo 3 lacks for replayability. Well, here already Blizzard realized that they had missed their moment (as it was with DotA), that Diablo 3 will not be able to bypass PoE, so I understand that they are developing several new projects on the Diablo universe!

"Allowing people to duplicate online characters for offline play."

[Rhett]

What about direct connection/technically online play between friends? I guess, akin to "Open Battlenet", as opposed to what I assume is the current online "Closed Battlenet"? I think this (plus LAN support) would be ideal. People love to mod these types of games, and modders help keep games alive.

[Jack Vondragon]

Managing multiplayer games like this is not easy for the simple reason that if a game like this can be played in offline mode, surely there will be mods or programs to cheat and modify the parameters of your character and create all the objects you want.

In fact, games like PoE and Diablo 3 do not have this problem for the simple reason that in single player mode you must always be connected to the internet and connect to their servers, so they monitor the situation and ban any abuse.

Of course if the characters you play in offline mode can't be played in online mode and vice versa then it's different.
