Character lost (three times).

[GhostFS]

I have made one Necromancer offline.
Played a bit.
Than made a new character a primalist As I found a nice unique axe
Played a bit with it than returned to the main menu... and the Necromancer was gone!!!
Than made a Rogue. Played a bit.
Now Primalist was gone.
Made A necro again, this time just created and gone back to the main menu...
Rogue gone.

What's happening? The game is Supposed to have only one character and overwrrite the Previous? How I can get back my characters?

[ARPGeek]

same here..all previous character gone even the character before the patch is gone...not only that all items and materials in stash gone...devs really f^*%$ed the game this time

[EvadRepus]

Yeah, same happened to me with my Primalist... So sad.

Hello there! This is quite odd given the offline characters are either locally saved or on Steam Cloud. While we are not able to restore these characters due to them being stored in the afore mentioned locations - if you submit a support ticket to {LINK REMOVED}support.lastepoch.com we can work with you to troubleshoot and hopefully your missing characters.

So to play OFFLINE not only you have to go through ONLINE authentication but also OFFLINE characters are stored on ONLINE Steam Cloud.

So the current situation is = broken multiplayer and "offline" mode prone to progress / characters losses because it's still tied to online and which also won't let you play when authentication server goes down or when you have no access to internet connection, good job guys really smart decisions there.

Clueless devs, what a joke.

Steam cloud is a Steam feature enabled for almost all games by default (if you don't change your settings) and doesn't have much to do with the developers. If your issues stem from that, you're complaining to the wrong people.

Best to disable steam cloud, as it's known to cause issues like these every once in a while. If you really need to take your characters to a different PC / laptop, then just copy the saves over on a USB stick.

if this was after 0.9 your "offline" characters might be online characters. thats why they dont show in your offline list. i experienced this myself after getting the queue each time i tried to login and the number went up to 3 times the actual number of players shown on steam.

at some point i said ♥♥♥♥ it and started a offline char. i started noticing having a global chat, seeing my friend online that was able to play online normally AND to group up with him. when i relogged i noticed the char was "gone" but i couldnt create a new one with the same name.

later when they said they fixed the problems i relogged and now the chars are online, not offline. all 3 of them :o

that rly sound weird since the saves are stored on ur pc. are u aware of the online/offline tabs?

[PhyrePhenx]

I'll vouch for that. I had several problems with it and disable it on every game I play.

Not only is my offline character gone, but when I try to recreate, it's already taken. So I'm guessing it's saved somewhat server side but locally it never wrote?

Yesterday after migrating to steam (not thanking you for discontinuing standalone launcher) i created a new character, played for around 1h and then went back to character selection to find that my level 70 sentinel has been deleted... I don't know how the local save games work but there is something weird here.

Also you should find another location to save files (AppData/LocalNow should not be a folder to save game datas !!)

[Ghostchants]

All my offline chars won't log. They are still there just cant play them. Although I'm still able to play online chars no prob. Kinda odd I dropped some time on an offline character, now they want to say it's on our side and not theirs. I see it time and again, just gotta grin and bear it..

[Afura33]

Hmm that's weird, I still have all my offline characters, nothing lost or gone.

[CocoNut-Pete]

Lost an old character and lost a character from 2 days ago... but some are always here.
What the f0ck is this bug. Make sure for release we will don't loose our characters!
