The world of hack and slash games NEEDS Last Epoch and these developers, we must have patience and trust in them

[AstroDelSuino]

you have my complete trust dear developers, and I will wait patiently for you to resolve the server problem, I abhor negative reviews for the server problem,
but I can somehow understand those users too, they bought the game, they didn't see the now that it comes out on the 21st to jump into the game and play online with friends or even just start progressing in the online campaign.

It's true, you can also play offline but I don't think any of us want to play offline in a game that I think we all picked up to play together with other people and communities... but I also understand that the servers have been overloaded given the success of the game that has been so highly acclaimed on the web by content creators and those who played the beta, I don't know the numbers but I assume they are beyond what you would have expected, I hope at least that you have kept a wide margin with the capacity of the servers or whatever it is (I don't know the dynamics).

I repeat, you have my trust and I will wait patiently but you also know that there are very few of us today with this attitude of understanding in the world of gaming.... UNFORTUNATELY.


I know it would be impossible because a mess would happen in the future, when they come out, with cheating tools to enhance the character or have very powerful equipment, and it would have ruined the game, but it would have been a fantastic thing, if there were specific precautions, which would have solved any problem, being able to switch with a PG from offline to online and vice versa depending on the need.

Sorry, i do not share your opinion. Videogames in general don't need yet another unfinished game on release. That this is the norm instead of an exception is one of the big issues of the industry.

The reasonable thing is to wait till issues are fixed before buying. And recommending it just because you like the game is weird. I like this game and still cannot recommend it. Let's be a little more responsible as consumers, instead of throwing money to the hype machine.

nevertheless, unlike 99% of all other online games, this has a full function offline mode. And to be honest, most ARPG players play solo on their characters most of the time.

Sure a lot play with friends or group up with randoms, or want to trade. But still, the game works great despite one single aspect, the character transitioning from server cluster to server cluster.

For a game that isn't even playable at launch I could agree on that, but that is not the case here. You can play the game in full.

IN any other ARPG with launch issues, and I think none of the online ARPGs last 20 years started smoothly, all players was crying, give us offline mode at least.

Now players got their offline mode, can play, and still complain like little babies...sorry to say. But it's the truth

The problem is that there are very few (if any) live-service games with both online and offline modes. And it is very hard to decide what a "FULL" game is in this case. For me personally offline mode in LE = Full game, because I play SSF. However, I like to read chat sometimes. I think the devs should somehow change the description of the game so that customers are able to understand what they are buying.

The players that complain about lack of offline are unlikely to be the same ones that complain about the online not working.

Also, they are not exclusive in any case. That's mixing nukes with apples.

These zealot threads are getting out of hand, I hope they fix the servers just for your mental wellbeing.
No other game community I have ever been in the last 25 years was more stupid with its fanboyism.

Zealots?

We've been pointing out the *very* same issues that *still* plague this game to this day, for years now. But we're "zealots" and the "negative vocal minority" because we vocalize what everyone else chooses to turn a blind eye to?

The server issues that are still persistent in this moment are a symptom of people sitting here and defending these developers and telling them "don't listen to the loud negative haters, the game is great!". Mind you, the server issues are NOT a new problem that came about when they had a mass influx of players. This game was barely able to handle a few thousand people playing online at it's peak before 1.0ish. Why are people *still* buying into the whole "give us a break, we're a small studio" excuse.

This is just one layer of the onion that will slowly peel back and reveal itself over time. This is what we as a gaming community get for coddling a mediocre game with mediocre devs by telling them "You're fiiiiiiiinnnneee keep doing what you're doing, it's awesome!" when the exact opposite is true.
