Aaron, LE could be over at the rate this dev team releases content. They had such a huge shot to really take their place and ends up not dropping content for over 7+ months....
@@DanteKSA Yeah but a lot of player retention has already been lost and there are some major issues within the game currently where even long term LE fans have put the game aside. I'd love to think otherwise but EHG needs to get their act together again and correct their course because they are walking towards a falure. I wish they weren't but they clearly are.
@@Jenkkimie true definitely the game in a tough spot right now, but the way i see it, is they are taking this long exactly because of this reason, they need to spend a lot of time and release a huge update that fix at least most problems instead of releasing more smaller seasons only for players to come back and still have to go through the game again with most of its problems still there
Yeap I will be playing PoE 2 as well. Wish nothing but the best for LE though.. but it is Path of Exile 2 that we are speaking of. A game that will most likely make history in this genre, and define it.
I'm concerned that the upcoming PoE 2 release might overshadow Last Epoch, especially given its delayed endgame content, class balance issues, optimization problems, and incomplete storyline.
Im following arpg Community for years now. Always the same. If another game is released or getting a new update everyone is hyping the game and every other game is dead and never recover. I always like to give a comment on those comments half year or year later just to show that it did not come as they imagined. Last Epoch is a bit silent for now, yes. PoE will be the thing for the next months, yes. But hype (which is mostly created thanks to youtubers/influcencer for there own reach) will be slowed down and the horde wants another hype. Then last epoch will shine again. So it doesnt mattter which game d4,LE, PoE, everytime ppl talk about end of games and then after month the truth is that this game still exists and are in a good shape.
@@juliusjune3021 I'm 55, been playing ARPGs since the live release of Diablo 1 and had a lot of fun with LE but that game is not yet a full release, far from it, great but not quite complete. Im Level 97 and unless new content for high level players is released I cant see myself logging in.
@@synen The base gamer of LE is far superior than D4 for me. so much so that i literally cant enjoy D4 since seeing these mechanics and build diversity. That being said, the grind in LE becomes super repetitive. game is defs incomplete in terms of content and things to do. They probably did jump the gun releasing 1.0 when they did. hopefully these delays will make for some MASSIVE updates when they are ready. The ARPG competition is picking up and its great for us gamers 😌
@@Z3RODVSN it was not meant to be offended. My thoughts about LE compared to d4 are same. And while youre right with your thoughts I think, in q1 LE will have its new hype phase.
@@juliusjune3021 no offense at all. I think LE has a lot of core fans that want to see the game thrive. They are the underdog by a long shot and they still put out a game better than Blizzard as a much smaller company. I hope they can keep up relatively to what POE has done and provide many reason to return every season
Love LE. Hope they make some good changes in the next league. My only problem with it is it almost has felt the exact same since early beta to me. Needs some extra spice
The endgame just isn’t there man. This whole concept of endgame being farming uniques with legendary potential and finding purple items to fuse with it just doesn’t cut it.
There are always worse options, like poe 2 endgame, where you're farming only breaches and dying from random rare mob's on death-effect who was 10 miles away from you.
The hype for the game is completely gone. I was so eager to see the potential for this game will get bigger and bigger, but We wait for what feels like an eternity to get new and exciting content and nothing get delivered....
If shards can automatically go to the shard pouch it would also be cool if keys went to a keyring. I know we encounter keys much less often but seeing keys in the inventory just feels wrong.
I had just started a Shield Throw meme build, was going to be using double shields with Sigeon's Reprisal but now that I know that they cant ricochet to me atm I'll do that next season.
Sometimes I want to use Multistrike but the animation is so bad that I don't feel like using it.. It might be the worst animated melee skill in the entire game.
POE2 is coming Dec 6th so I am looking forward to that game. This game does not drop content. This is a dev chat that is not saying much. The trading being closed for months says a lot.
Sad to say but i kinda stopped caring about LE and i really like the game. That's because they can't optimize this game to save their lives, the random stuttering just takes away all the fun no matter how good the game is. That and the fact that they're making changes at a snail pace. The endgame has been stale for years so that's also a problem, adding some mobs to kill in echoes isn't helping much, it needs variety. I think the biggest problem for them is that they're working remotely, they're not just coming to work and be at the same place for smooth communication, they have to develop it through video calls and e-mails. That surely isn't helping with organization and pace.
@@RyanAKAStreakk Oh i did. They also were supposedly optimizing the game for release and they also did it for a few patches before release, wrote whole dev blog posts about it explaining it in detail and showing graphs, but it turned out the grame runs just as bad as in EA. Brother listen, i've been playing and following LE's every single update since 2019. Please miss me with that bs, i will only believe it once i see them actually fixing the performance. I've learned over the years that when it comes to the engine, they're kinda lost in the sauce. I'm not a coder but i assume mistakes have been made and it's now pretty hard to fix that spaghetti, just like with PoE where it's been 10 years and the game in endgame is just not fixable anymore and the devs admit it, and worse it also looks like PoE 2 will run exactly just as shitty as PoE, despite them boasting about how the engine is upgraded and that they were able to optimize it better since it's a whole new game. Meanwhile in the gameplay trailer when Witch appeared with a few skeletons the framerate dropped to like 30, and it was just some random campaign location :D That being said i hope they will make it run smoothly, although i think there are very slim chances for that, with all due respect.
I like LE and I would like to dive into the second season of this wonderful game, BUT it is worth admitting that the recent announcement of PoE 2 greatly surpasses its competitors, despite the fact that the game will be in beta testing mode. Isn't this a break in templates and a shame for other games in this genre, especially for such giants as Blizzard. EHG, I really respect your work and approach to business, but from December 6, I'm afraid that for me there will only be PoE 2, at least for some long period.
All i ask is better servers :( cant play too much with friend because of this. It crashes few times then after few tries we are able to play last epoch together.
I have to admit I am not a fan of the changes they have been making recently and hearing this I understand but at the same time it's not helping restore confidence I have for LE. Of course giants like PoE 2 have recently just blown everything out of the water and LE could not hope to compete in that category, especially with this current state, but as far as I am seeing LE is losing ground in general. It's not about the delay's but overall. Player retention keeps declaining, bad decisions like making player resistances practically non-existent again while buffing enemy damage. All just baffingly bad decision making for something that for a while had gotten the recipy for success and just needed to scale it.
They were always a small team, on top of being all remote, which makes things more challenging It's a testament to their dedication that they even got this far
EHG either pulls a unicorn from the hat or... They'll have a 2k player base until the end of time. D4 has the monopoly of casuals and PoE2 will grab all the blasters + higher level casuals. EHG had a golden chance with the biggest hype I can remember, and they blew it colossally. I believe they have just 1 chance. The timing has to be perfect and the content has to be a unicorn on steroids.
D IV the monopoly of casuals' Last time I checked my friend list in Diablo was a graveyard and barely any bought D IV... Plus PoE II is more casual friendly than that game, since the game allows you to see what happens with skills and attacks on the floor.
To be honest, ...all the little things and questions answered could have been 2 weeks, after this season had started, asked/answered. No impact. Nothing... really nothing that makes anyone say "wow" YES, ...no nothing. Boring kinda. They are sleeping. SLEEPING.
No. POE2 is going to be way too complicated for most players. A lot of people will still play LE and D4. Personally I both LE and POE2 do well (f D4 though).
@@Mulukkis This is my take. Last Epoch is going to take over D4's market share more than PoE2 will, given the relative complexities of the game. I know that I'll be playing this AND PoE2 for a while going forward.
@@Mulukkis from the reveal trailer it seemed way more acceptable than poe 1 where u have to craft million steps to have a 0.1% chance at an ok item idk...
@@Mulukkis TBH no its already be said by the devs that its going to be much easier to play than POE1 , Which the super hard core people can still play if they want.
@@NemisCassander DIV has a big part of casual console players. This really big player base is not gonna taken by LE or PoE 2. I like LE and DIV. PoE 1 was not for me. PoE 2? I don't know, yet. I have to try it. But they said something about 25-50 hours for the campaign.
The game is dying due to the lack of crafting, convenient trading and late game variety. No one needs new skills, just change the numbers to balance and get on with the content.
If i can recap LE in one word it will be: *Frustrating* I have 1000+ gours in but Rng ruined the game for me I really enjoyed 1.0 playing offline with all 4LP items it was more fun than the stupid rng slamming system online
I don't like the merchant guild mechanic u need to lvl it up to able to trade. Just remove merchant guild and circle of fortune just make ssf for player don't want to trade to other player

This delay for the next season feels REALLY bad. They can't afford another one like this.
Just think about the huge patch notes we will get as a reward
@@DanteKSA Yeah but a lot of player retention has already been lost and there are some major issues within the game currently where even long term LE fans have put the game aside. I'd love to think otherwise but EHG needs to get their act together again and correct their course because they are walking towards a falure. I wish they weren't but they clearly are.
@Jenkkimie player retention doesn't matter for a one time charge game. EHG got their money already from the main player base.
@@Jenkkimie true definitely the game in a tough spot right now, but the way i see it, is they are taking this long exactly because of this reason, they need to spend a lot of time and release a huge update that fix at least most problems instead of releasing more smaller seasons only for players to come back and still have to go through the game again with most of its problems still there
One of the things i want them to fix is a way to skip the campaign. The campaign is so boring after a couple of playthroughs
They really need to come up with something big with 6th Dec upon us and almost everyone will start blasting PoE 2.
Yeap I will be playing PoE 2 as well. Wish nothing but the best for LE though.. but it is Path of Exile 2 that we are speaking of. A game that will most likely make history in this genre, and define it.
LE does not listen & is sleeping. No progress nothing but hot air.
Poe 2 is not a d4 killer but last epoch killer
@@dorjjodvobatkhuu6457 D IV isn't even alive... I for sure didn't waste money in any Blizzard game since RoS, and that was 10 years ago...
if im not going to experience these additions and changes any time soon then I couldn't care less..
Dang that dude has lost some weight.
I noticed too, he looks like a different person. He seems alright, so I assume he's just been working toward it, so congrats

Why would you take the point to auto cast devouring orb when you can num lock it
Love LE. Hope they make some good changes in the next league. My only problem with it is it almost has felt the exact same since early beta to me. Needs some extra spice
Well yeah they were working on finishing the game lol now theyre working on endgame
Remember how poe2 shifted to endgame only work for like a year lol so people werent disappointed? Exactly
Exactly, the game feels the same in early access, 1.0 and even after few updates...
The endgame just isn’t there man. This whole concept of endgame being farming uniques with legendary potential and finding purple items to fuse with it just doesn’t cut it.

good good. Sounds like new engine is running and some specials guests are on the ride already =)
If shards can automatically go to the shard pouch it would also be cool if keys went to a keyring. I know we encounter keys much less often but seeing keys in the inventory just feels wrong.
I couldnt care oess about keys just fix shards ffs
Can't wait for the next season... hope it is rather sooner than later...
I had just started a Shield Throw meme build, was going to be using double shields with Sigeon's Reprisal but now that I know that they cant ricochet to me atm I'll do that next season.
Well, I'm excited to be one of the fifty people playing LE over PoE2 in spring 2025?
I look forward to saddles on golems
Is there any news on Steam Deck performance improvements?
If PoE2 releases with better controll support for steam deck it's gonna be even a bigger W than it already is....
I'm not gonna be surprised at all at this point they are killing it over there at GGG
Sometimes I want to use Multistrike but the animation is so bad that I don't feel like using it.. It might be the worst animated melee skill in the entire game.

shame they took so long to get their endgame together... POE2 is going to make it very difficult for this game to get any eyes back on it
