I'll just say that having paid classes is atleast a great incentive for them to make more classes
So i hope they do so
I just read the article, I'm sad, what just happened
Well when I bought LE it promised more classes with 1,0. So there's that.
don't think they ever promised that
I don't think that was a promise
if its $10 to play a class just pay the $10?
I checked and acolyte and falconer were these classes
yeah idk people really upset about this
why complain are you 13 years old and mommie gives you limited allowance
Which we have now
I mean I get people are struggling with money but if a class is like $10-20 idk for me its not a big deal but I get it how people have no money and are broke
I literally live in a 3rd world country where minimum wage is 300$ and i'm not complaining as much as these people lol
You mean warlock, not acolyte
Yeah, sorry. 5 am brain.
I wonder how long it will take before people start dropping this topic.
eh 2 days
The thing is that if LE had a paid expansion , people would just buy it. It's just that paid DLC triggers people.
No its not lmao soon as the expansion was even announced people were already complaining before we got any word about it being paid or not.
for real
This league was so zzzz I dont think im playing till expansion
Did you know that when the rumor of the expansion was coming out one of the rumors was that it was gonna be paid? Saw lots of dumpster fire back then
I think 1.4 releasing in january will do better them 1.3.
Not only 1.3 was the worse season yet by far, it was also released at a terrible time and everyone went to poe2
ya, that paid class is over a year from now, if you can't save $20 in 12+ months then something is going on in your life crazy serious
I'm definitely one of the I'd pay for an expansion not a character camp but that's just my view on the matter. Lots of people here just want free no other payment except mtx.
the devs still havnt fixed the lv 100 race yet and thats a big part of the leagues imo, cause your name is on LE Tools frontpage for the whole league if your on top 10
thats IF its even 20$ lmao
Well, 1.3 had no new content. Like nothing end game, so aside from making a new character to experience the new build options that was it.
To be fair 20$ on a single character is crazy for a 35$ game. My bet is on 10-15
Im on vacation for 5day, last epoch s4 already out?
I mean, t8 was great for build variety and shit, but yeah, not enough to hold ppl in, specially with poe2 league releasing the week after lol
Early next year.
Only in january cutie
having it be a lottery of who can hit the 1% echo drop on exiled mages first is kinda extremely stupid and unfun. you can be mr speedrun and have the best time to empowered monoliths and get the echo to not drop. and timmy can cruise to empowered and get it to drop in a lv 90 zone, and own you hard in race
Alllll issss fineeeee, thanks
I mean realistically, RNG is part of the game race, its just how the genre work
true, but if I make fun of people that cant even make $10 in a years time, last time I mentioned poor people in here, people got mad and put me in timeout lol
4 months ago a gentleman said that actions speak louder than words.
I just hope that they put on goddamn FSR/DLSS support in this game already
Its not about the money it's about the principal at this point. This is a paid game. With a cash shop. AND now will have paid content. The game was barely interesting for a few days per season what twice a year? Lol.
that's why I think timing of their leagues, at least right now until the content is filled out a bunch more, is one of the most important things they need to consider
I spend more money on gacha than 10-20$ but i personally hate the idea of paid characters... I've done TL:I... Never again.
Poe2 is...
A paid game.
With cash shop
and you gotta buy stashtabs
its not that different, now, i won't even compare to diablo 4 cause things are kinda out of the line there lol
Not really. Its much closer to diablows
Poe2 also gives you the same amount of coins you would've gotten if you had just bought coins straight up. Sorry but I'll always defend this point about poe2.
I supported 1 enough I got my 2 key for free. Is all I will say on the matter. :p
Wich is also not enough to buy all the stashtabs you'll need if you wanna play it seriously.
And again, in Poe / Poe 2, you can use these coins to get all the stash tabs you need
PoE2 isnāt a paid game. You spend $30 for early access but you get every penny in shop currency.
In last epoch you can get 5 billion stash tabs for free tho.
1 supporter pack on poe and you are good on stash tabs. THAT ALSO come with usually pretty damn good mtx
Show me where i can download poe2 right now for free please
How many stash tabs can you get if you don't buy the game? Zero
Ehh i dont know. Personally all i ever needed was the currency stash, essence stash and Map stash which the free coins was enough when the sale dropped
You canāt because itās in early access but itās going to be free to the general public.
I mean, if you don't buy POE2 you can also get 0 stash tabs lol
We compare 30 euro invested in LE vs 30 euro invested in Poe/Poe 2 (MTX and stashes are shared)
paying for content that is fun makes sense to me, especially when its over a year away, like how long do people expect the base game to go ? Their entire life? till 80 years old? 60 years old? its over 5years old, and they are finally saying hey buy 1 char
Paid early access =/= paid game
If i can only get a game by paying, it is a paid game lol
This.
So is poe 1 a paid game?
Not wrong lol.
Same model.
No, i can download it for free right now, unlike POE2 where i had to pay in order to do so.
To play it RIGHT NOW. sure
Can I play LE for free?
PoE2 isnāt released.
No, you can't play poe2 for free either
Itās in early access
it was honestly genius to charge for it because let's face it, how much can it grow from here?
Never said it was, i said it was paid, wich is a fact.
But it's such a mid state its not worth playing right now anyway lol. Poe 2 has been very mid. But that's fine ggg will takes a few years like 1 to get dialed in
Sure, then let's compare what 30 euro gets us. LE just the game, Poe ( 2 games with all the stashes)
This game came out in 2019, and in late 2026 they will release 1 class that is paid and people are freaking out over them being greedy lol
Cool so whatās your actual point instead of just trying to intentionally stir the pot.
The reason why i dont like paid characters is because i dont know whether I'll like the character in the first place... If it was an expansion then im at least 90% sure I'd like it because expansions are built up on the base game but with more content like shadow of the erdtree in eldenring.
My point is that acting like POE as good of a game as it is, its some messiah of the monetization, is factually wrong.
Diablo 3 is 15 euro and has better sound design than LE or graphics or anything
this is a wild take
It is hands down THE BEST monetization in a free game. Period.
This is honestly true lol
I love diablo 3, but thats some insane take, the only thing i'll give you is that it has better cutscenes and story, other then that, no.
Did you guys played D3? The AI/ sound/ art is miles ahead LE
My dislike of diablo 3 stems from the fact its too cartoony to take seriously
š š š devs rn
I do disagree with that, i'd say that cake go to warframe, but i digress.
In LE every sounds like it hits a wet noodle
So is le though lol
Like the whole premise is death and destruction but the graphic screams sunshine and rainbows.
Direct contrast from D2
This I can agree its weird the expansion isn't the part that cost$
Also, CS2 and valorant also has better monetization them POE, but i digress once again
(I'm not saying those games are better, saying they got better monetization so pls read lol )
Lmao
Bro, Purple has been in here sucking off LE for 12 hours now lol š
Okay. Come on now. Valorant aint that bad... The community however.
Anyway gents. It's a pleasure to argue with you. But gonna leave for work (I need the money to buy the new LE Op class so I can do uberoth )
agree with Diablo3, I know I am in the minority, but Diablo3 is one of my favorite games, despite all the hate it gets
Sorry, i'm a counter strike player, so i'm contractually bound to hate it.
D3 is Pog.
I'm more excited for the 2 days of gameplay for new d3 seasons than LE seasons lol
I still play almost every season...........despite it just being repeats lol
D4 also had the paid class that was doing OP damage.
Ah that makes sense. I'm a former league player so I'm contractually bound to like rito's other games.
The problem with diablo 3 in my opinion is that they had THE BEST itemization in the industry, them them picked that itemization, throw into the trash and made that awful one we have in D3 where you can do any content with set items so everything is pointless
Because they realized that they can get more cash if they get the casuals
Casual people like polished stuff, easy gameplay, bam bam
Diablo 2 resurrected is 1 billion times better them diablo 3, and project diablo 2 is much better them both.
I remember people saying D3 was just MU online but with Diablo lore
Itemization is the most important part of any ARPG and sadly diablo 3 and 4 ruined it.
set items did ruin it, I cant disagree technically, but I had fun pushing GR 150 anyway, especially for sets that weren't the best for that season. Or getting high GR without having 3k+paragon
Yet It makes more stonks than D2 ever did, and that's what matters ( for a company)
You know whats the funniest part? MU online has better itemization them diablo 3.
The thing is that set items basically kill the itemization, if they're good enough to do everything, why bother?
I feel like LE itemization and skill system is some of the best we have RN.
Lmao. Considering how terrible MU was with itemization that's really bad.
yes for skill system, and itemization system is pretty good yes (suffers from opposite of D3 set items are trash)
Theres no itemization in diablo 3, thats the issue, the items you use, the skills you use, everything work like you're making a call of duty loadout
At least we can witness the epic new story LE will prepare us for free in the expansion, so there's that.
I personally like LE's crafting system. My most favourite one in any arpg
100% i also like it.
but crafting = best ever in LE 10000%
It's very deterministic, easy to get what you want
I feel like they did a lot of things right
Thatās why the season is dead 1 week into it though š¤·āāļø
The main drawback i feel like for LE... is that LE has one of the most boring campaigns in any ARPG
Not much to do once you get your gear and kill the 1 (one) boss we have.
Aside from pushing corruption for no actual benefit than loot which you already have
So much so, that in my group of friends it became an internal joke to ask each other "Whats an epoch?"
"did you find the epoch?"
Cause none of my friends nor me still have any idea wth is an epoch nor do we care lol
I personally never feel complete if i havent made at least 3 build per cycle
Yep. Too deterministic is bad. And end game is still very bad
According to google its a footnote in time.
Season died fast cause it had a boring theme, with a not so fun gimmick, the only good thing was t8 stuff.
to be fair its only dead depending how far you want to get, some just beat the game-300 corruption-Abberoth-Uber Abberoth-10k corr, whatever it may be.
Uber Aberoth was a challenge, took me many tries to finally down him
If corruption Gave us Uber points or something to make our class better it would be an incentive to keep playing.
I feel like we all agree that season 2 was the best by a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong shot
yes
Yeah
It shouldāve been. It took a year to make
Yeah, and there's nothing to compare it to. 1.3 was empty
Welp, I'm gonna head off. Need to catch some ZZZs you guys have fun arguing and stoking the fire. Keep it pg and friendly.
Or dont, I'm not the one getting flagged by a mod. lol
Mods are probably asleep at this hour
just don't make fun of poor people and you are safe
I also got canned earlier but i fully admit i was ragebaiting people lol
Why? Discord should have access to people that only paid for the game plus dlc. I don't want to argue with someone that didn't bought the game.
Otherwise we will get to argue with people that come to throw salt.
Link the game to discord or something for a role.
I still think its crazy all the talk about is the paid class
My rage was about the non existent roadmap, but everyone seems ok with it
Well, that's part of it. We have no news about the new end game., but we know we will get more classes for cash.
Yeah, it definitely was just "Yes, there is content"
Nah i share that with you, as i said before, that was the worse announcement ever, all this problem would be so avoidable if they released this statement alongside a DLC trailer showcasing new stuff so people get hyped lol
That's called the sandwich technique, mix the bad news between good news.
I have never been let down so fast, I was so excited when I 1st saw the post
yay roadmap finally after weeks of delay !!!!!!!!!!! what are we getting new, whats the new news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "season 4 then a season 5, then an expansion" roadmap done..........I leaned nothing lol
Probably too early for it if it's far away
Why announce it then
Then they shouldn't have put this announcement on now welp also hi nub
Just to give us something to doom about
just dont get how it got delayed all this time, if thats all it was
Hello hello, gm
Good to see you
Like what point does it make to let us know that in 1 year we need to pay some more cash
But regardless of what they do, think on the bright side
They can't mess this thing worse then wolcen right?
Tell us what we get in season 4
Hopefully they don't take that as a challenge
Aren't they making a wolcen the 2nd?
I think it would be genuinely a challenge
No, they're chasing trends and releasing a crappy extraction game nobody asked for lol
will we really get classes locked behind expansion?
Guess they're speedrunning bankrupcy after the wolcen rugpull
can't believe it š
No, expansion will be free, you can pay for the new class if you want.
okay !
LE Meeting
Mike with EHG: Can we release the roadmap yet please?, its been weeks
Krafton: Not yet, its sensitive info, we don't wanna ruin anything to early
Mike with EHG: OK, its been weeks now, can we give the super secret info now?
Krafton: Ok lets do the big reveal, I think we can leak the info now, let our fans know that after season 4 is.............get this season 5 !!!!, and let them know about the expansion again that we mentioned before.
Yeah, because that's what this game needed, more expansion for that beautiful story
Releasing the roadmap in december would be ludacris, specially with all eyes on 0.4 for poe.
Hopefully they release it early jan
So, wouldn't it better idea to show us 1.4 footage?
Instead of telling us about paid DLC? Like from a company pov, what good did today announcement did?
I believe that everyone here being those who take issue with paid chars or not, i believe everyone agree that this announcement was terrible
It didn't hype us, it revealed nothing to make sales go better.
agreed
It's like reading that the government increased taxes for next year. Okay, fun.
I still do think they should make LE base game free, this way people would complain less i guess, and anyone playing it seriously would get the DLC anyway.
Imagine if by "early 2026" they don't mean january
Feb would crash with POE1 league, not smart
Diablo 4 league... nobody cares about that one so they can release near that
I feel that would kill the game
Poe2 will kill diablo 4 for good in december now anyway.
Nah, D4 and Poe 2 player base doesn't really connect
I don't 100% agree there, i know many people who were diablo 4 players and jumped ship.
I feel that D4 game play is closet to Poe 1 than to poe2
they probably do want to have a proper hype cycle for S4 so Feb is more likely
I play all arpgs, I enjoy em anyway
Poe2 season will release less then a week after d4 so welp, its the same thing they did to LE.
I also do enjoy them all exept for d4.
obviously a guess because it can be anything really, but late Jan/Feb would be best guess for me
To me if it was March, it would of been 1st quarter 2026 not early 2026
but this all depends on what "early" is to them, so that could by april/may to some people technically
Even obscure stuff like the incredible adventures of van Helsing
welp i tried that one, but that was... not very good lmao
I was enjoying D4 until is was just powers and the more powers and then here's another season of powers!
Tbh I really hate what D4 did to items in last patch
40k inquisitor by the same devs tho... much better.
You have to click 50 times just for the sakes of it.
What was the name of that arpg released 20 years ago with a town and a dog. Wild tangent made it or something
I finished the campaign, pokerfaced my monitor asking WTF did i just play, closed it, never opened it again.
That was my childhood jam
Torchlight?
Play em all but the only ones that really stood out/made me actually put in over 500 hours were Diablo 2/3--POE 1/2--Grim Dawn--Titan Quest,and LE of course
No no
Only other that come to mind like that is fable 2, but thats kind of a different deal.
Yeah arpg eating good. I play every season for all the games itās mad fun
Terrible on the wallet but itās my hobby
Let me ask chatgpt
I think maybe the 1st Torchlight might of hit 500 hours not sure, I hated 2/3 and infinite wasnt that great, but was good enough to play a new season when bored
Fate 2005
I liked TL1 and 2, but hated everything that comes after
DARKSTONE HAD A DOG IN ONE OF THE TOWNS
sorry didnt know caps was still on
Them we have Sacred, dunno if any of yall played that
NP dude. I respect arpg with animals. I love em
back in the day it ws amazing, I doubt I could go back to it though lol
Sacred was... interesting despite the awful gameplay, them sacred 3 came out, devs smoked a shitton of drugs and made wathever tf that game was.
did anybody play darkstone here
Sacred 2 is aways fun to me cause the grapcs remind me of those random generic characters in GPU boxes
its like going back to Diablo 1, sure back in the day as a kid I loved it, but going back to that old of a game, I usually can't do.
doesn't ring a bell
Never heard of
Diablo 1 remake inside of diablo 3 was the coolest thing blizzard ever did and we will never see it done again sadly.
Nox? Dungeon Siege? Dungeon Siege maybe I could go back to, doubt it though
Riot games ARPG when
Valve ARPG
darkstone was on pc and ps1 it was your typical d2 clone was my first arpg haha was at a rummage sale there was a shoebox with like 30 ps1 games 4 mem cards 2 controllers and the ps1 she said i could just have the whole box of shit cause it was worthless . . . it had d1 legend of dragoon darkstone and a bunch of other fun ones only reason darkstone was first was it was the first game on the pile
Also, I am not sure if reddit is fine with it. But in the post companies couldn't moderate their own Reddits.
I see many EHG employees as mods
Twitter response seemed far more positive them discord if you check the post... surprisingly enough
Cuz people with money doesn't use discord
speaking of d3 they missed a massive opportunity they couldve had leah kill deckard cain while posessed by diablo but instead it was the butterfly
It's just us here
I mean, d3 and specially d4 try to be too family friendly for their own good, thats the issue with being too mainstream.
D3 evils just felt... boring
Like some villain from a story for children
telling you their plans and trying to be super tough sounding
Jokes aside, do you think the new class should be stronger then the current classes at their prime or weaker? I can see people being salty if the new class is weaker than void knight
Diablo voice acting itself tho... that was top notch, but yes the other evils felt lackluster
I think it should be in-line with the others
I saw a gent deleting uberoth in 20 secs with void knight
But i care more about the class theme them the class power, if the class fit an archetype i like, i'll buy and play regardless of how weak or not it is, if not i'll skip regardless of how strong or not it is.
I guess the answer was 6 months or so. LOL
Didn't some bear earthquake kill uber in like 12sec?
People were deleting it in 5 secs with the druid lol
Good stuff
it will most likely be weaker
All i wish for the new classes is to not be more diablo 2 classes, i hope they break the mold
I hope at least it's not bugged
Go wacky stuff, i said earlier before, crysis inspired futuristic soldier with pistols, rifles and snipers
Dogs with guns
See? That's why I love Poe, I just saw a cat autobomber build that fills the screen with cats
Dog that is also a gun
People like wacky stuff
guns for my squirrels
Well, again, we are 1 year before we see these classes, so we have nothing to compare or see
I'll say that they should change course on this paid character stuff and do a... paid early access, you pay you get instant access, you don't, you get it next league, and if you pay you also get a cool armor set cosmetic themed in that character yay, everyone gets happy.
also add challenges like in Poe, give us something to do
aside finishing campaign, getting to 100 in 3 days
give us more end game
Put death xp penalty like in poe after lvl 70 so ppl take longer to get to lvl 100 :3
please no
Not a problem for any dark knight enjoyer
Void*
That would just punish the non meta players even more
Make it like in Chinese Poe, with scrolls to prevent exp lose that can be bought with money
Honestly I wouldn't be that upset by xp penalties on death, as long as they deal with the weird incentives that PoE used to have (eg. waiting to level up before fighting a boss)
you don't lose exp anymore on bosses in poe
https://i.imgur.com/oMLRRmf.jpeg the memes
We also need transmogs so we have more things to collect
Doesn't help when they look bad
So yeah, a lot of competition for LE money
I don't think them adding dlc is the worst thing in the world, but I don't think the quality of the game in terms of content in both a quality of cosmetics or quantity of varied endgame gameplay is good enough for people to want to be spending big on the game.
Yall hyped for the last of the Druids? lol
LE needs better trade
Was there any further info about the paradox classes?
Paid class, lmao. Sounds like the beginning of the end for LE. GG, had a fun time.
Wouldnt say its the end, if its rare or onetime only. Like in d3 the necromancer was
nope, just that it would be paid dlc and that weād be getting something⦠not sure if its just one or more
hopefully its 1 class that branches out to 3 subclasses like the current ones, but methinks itāll just be a single one class/subclass situation
Just read the news
They really went from saying support packs would pay for the game + release price + mtx just to say f you huh
Iām so glad I dumped so much money into this game for zero reason
Glad they turned back on their word the second they get bought out
I am beyond disappointed
yeah everyone is
I got good times out of the money I put in already but yeah, I'm probably done
i wonder if they will backup from this idea after this backlash lmao
I guess ggg are the ones that are ahead right? D4 always got made fun of but last epoch and poe 2 always seemed to be the better arpgs. Ehh now it looks like who the clear winner is lol
in a way the writings in the wall for a while now
being bought by krafton right as the subnautica incident
even before krafton, weāve had a lot of missing content but we were willing to let it pass because we were still getting our moneys worth back then
them saying that support packs have not been sustainable
nothingburger announcements for a while about content (no release dates, info, just a āweāre working on this!ā for a while now)
now they announce a free expansion, but along with it a roadmap with no dates, no info, and then the paid dlc class that everyone instantly zoomed in on, me included 𤣠, which basically killed all of the goodwill from hearing about a free expansion
not to mention job postings for 1/3 of the announcement
Just play whatever makes you happy
IMO it's a lose lose situation. Either it's stronger than existent classes and therefore P2W, or it's weaker and nobody buys it.
I know but I was hopefully
I really believed in this game :(
idc about druid, i want to see endgame changes xdd
Maybe we can get a Druid paywall š
There are swords in the database, I would post a pic, but LE discord is the only arpg discord that doesn't allow pics
it doesnt have to be significantly stronger/weaker, if its different enough and its fun without significantly behing ahead or behind its honestly good enough
Iām always hyped for a new class. Last league we didnāt get one but ofc think about how many new gems there will be. They did say this was the endgame patch because I get bored of Poe 2s endgame
Itās confirmed weāre getting talismans
last league i have a lot of fun with new craft system
I played RF and did my 40/40 and had a blast
I loved abyss
I saw some bases in empy video (mines, traps, daggers and more)
in meme museum video i guess, i dont remember
I can't wait to play a bear
I did 36/40 and now I waiting for poe 2, hero siege and LE xdd
it allows for pics, just not in the General channel for non staff users
Don't sleep on new GD expansion too
Ranger bear with tailwind HYPE
i dont have GD
It's a paid expansion for a laid game ye
BEAR
BEARanger xdd
Don't think I have ever ssid anything on here before but;
I bought this game in Alpha. That was about 8 yesrs ago.
At the time they promised to always remain buy to play with ZERO paid DLC.
To be fair, I would have paid for an expansion had it been said from the start.
I have every character at level 100 with all currently unobtainable items in offline characters.
This is ridiculous. This is against what we were promised.
the foresight to know your monetization model is doomed to fail would be a great asset to many a company
Just vote with your wallet man
never believe in promises
I will be.
As I said, I would have paid had they been up front 8 years ago.
But this, this is insane. I have had 2 kids between them lieing about this now.
Do you really think things cannot fundamentally change in the span of 8 years?
would have paid? the content doesnt even exist yet
It wass what they ssid up and until and including, release and maintained until just now...
the type of person to play a game for 4000 hours and leave a neagtive steam review
Which means things have changed dramatically in a short time.
Hey now, new world has entered the chat
Iām so excited for this
It was also great when they did a complete revamp patch to freshen things up while we waited (just wish they announced it closer to release KEK)
I remember logging into steam and seeing the update and going WHAT
Sure if LE decided to shut down and also remove access to offline play I could get behind you, that's not what is happening
Not even close
I'm not trying to poopoo your take here, it's absolutely valid, but part of it is rooted in something...genuinely untenable to expect
I play offline only, i have wife and 2 kids, so all dlcs r free on PC 
Neither has New World, my guy. It's just not getting new content.
Off the back of new content.

That provably moved the needle
š¦¦
What's untenable? I said I would have paid for an expansion if that was a vision from the start. I have no issue paying.
But they said for 7 years straight "we will never charge more" then suddenly dropped this.
That's my issue
The situation with New World is just an example of people rightfully being blindsided and switching to a negative sentiments deep into their time with a game
š
Yeah, arpg players are eating good
I cant wait for new hero siege tree
And they absolutely wanted to and tried to up until now. Hell if I know what their financials looked like over itme but very clearly they were not in good shape lmao They had to change course, they didn't just do it to be greedy. They're literally floundering and only now has the situation gotten so bad they have to change their approach
All I'm saying is they never lied or anything. Things have just gotten bad for them. And we can all kinda tell lmao
Before changing their approach, finishing the game would be nice gesture.
i think you should have adjusted all expectations the moment they announced the acquisition lol
Hey, I'm not defending anything, I'm just looking at the situation at hand.
I did lol. Doesn't mean I am pleased about it
fairs
Yeah absolutely valid
brother, krafton...
Bro we canāt even do reactions š
š
Things have turned sour because they punched above their weight class
They tried and it didn't work out.
Also no, you can't do reactions because the mods realize how immature things get
Yeah, cuz people would do certain emote to certain devs
Let me put it to you like this.
In Alpha/beta we were a small community. We all knew eachother.
The devil used to come on here and talk to us all the time.
They themselves, promised that they were TOTALLY AGAINST paid content and would NEVER put it in their games.
For them to do that now, means they won't stop at this. It'll be p2w diablo immortal before you know it
They can still do that with a reply KEK
Lemme pause you here fam
last night i saw some freaks doing polls āWoUlD yOu PaY $x fOr A PaId cLaSS?ā
Oh damn they killed nitro emotes too
P2w class?
See idk how excited people are for free expansion when I mean thereās Poe and their āexpansionsā are free as well lmao. How much of a proposition is that
absolutely brain numbing
i cant reaction with eyes š š
A guy complained that he got banned and EHG staff revealed that he got banned by replying a clown emote to Mike or someone
lmao good
So yeah, people use toxic emotes
poe. sure. GD isnt free, TQ2 isnt free, D4 isnt free, HS isnt free...
Thatās so stupid man
Scared of a clown
Yes, it is, given how many toddlers are in the chat anytime something happens they don't like
i dont even know what reaction for me timed out for
i sent an
and 𤔠to someone š
No one uses the clown emoji in any way but hurtful
clown gets timeout i think
but how does it hurt
You can use any emote to be hurtful
And if you ban one another will replace it
amazing.
I said something about paid druid in poe 2 and I was timeout 
Acting like a clown emote is gonna do anything is crazy work
And being banned for it is even crazier
š³
š³ļø
whats a hole
Where do those pits lead
Are they safe to jump into?
This reaction is proof of the lack of empathy about such things. More places should action against such disrespect but this is wholly irrelevant to anything
how do you even function in real life if clown emote bothers you in discord app
Case in point.
you can found clowns there, be careful
Better ban the internet
Or literally any public forum where people can express themselves
Pleading eyes emote
š
Sweet money, the internet is a cesspool. Just because it's normalized doesn't make it ok.
Read the part where I said any public forum
This will happen anywhere humans can communicate
MVP
yes š
Except face to face
welcome to the ranting zone
is this tuff
Paradox Classes
Thatās not even remotely true
They do it face to face all the time
Even starts riots
Not only can you not "clown emoji" a person IRL, the social pressure to not be a jackass to someone's face is much, much higher
Maybe they can pay wall the clown emoji so krafton can make bank
10.99$ to hurt people
genuinely though is this the first time arpg players have heard of a paid class
i dont care, i would expect this from d4
D3 necro
I mean, in fairness, the examples of them in the genre aren't....great....
I wish people irl did clown emote instead of half of what they say or do
If you think clown is that horrific I have bad news for how people irl operate
Just cuz they exist doesn't mean that juice is truely worth the squeeze in the end
Sounds like you've weathered a lot of undue abuse.
I wish it were possible to use the clown emoji in real life š
After being told supporter packs, mtx and the price of the game would ensure no paid dlc for years and years consistently
I wonder why we drop that critical bit of context
Itās not just over a paid class
MVP
Protip- carry around a clown nose and honk it when you wanna imagine that.
paid expansion with a class tied to it isnt new to the whole industry, paid classes alone isnt as common but itās not always a potential p2w situation especially in sp, pve games
They tried that in 2016 and caused a nation wide panic KEK
tbh, EHG told you this, krafton has no obligation to follow on that
I bet it'd actually diffuse a lot of arguments before they even start.
I hope krafton enjoys the bajillions theyāll make at the pace last epoch releases content
LOL I remember that XD
i mean, they paid 96 m for EHG, its their duty to see how they will make that much back plus profit
now people talking about last epoch in blizzard forum
Iām eepy time now
Good luck fellow gamers
I gotta be honest a probably $10 at most optional dlc over the course of an 8 year development of a live service game is the most ridiculous thing to get upset about. I spent more money playing WoW for 3 months. Weird hill to die on
true, the s4 date is still unknown
honestly 10$ aint bad for 3 or more months
Yeah it's ah... tiresome but it'll pass
Diablo doesn't have enough content to keep their forum active š
That gif was a cat cuddling a deer btw, super disrespectful
Frankly I don't exactly expect much improvement to the game
You don't get special treatment.
After Krafton showed up, I lost my expectations about it
If its not good dont play it? if it is you can?
can i get my money back after 100 hours? instead of s4 release date i got introduced to paid classes
you have to be ragebaiting LOL
the type of person to return their dead christmas tree to costco at the end of january
Relax. There's no stopping consumer outrage
š
I'm just here to temper it with some amount of reason
I am expecting 10-15$ for dlc, If they make it equal or higher than base game price, it won't be appeal enough to buy it
I've watched too many communities eat themselves alive because they don't like a thing
Problem is not money. Many people who are mad about this bought supporter packs just to fund the game. They dont deliver quality content, game is unfinished, classes miss base skills, combat feels worse then runescape classic and they ask for more money. They got away before because of goodwill they had, people are fed up with their excuses because they are always on time asking for money but not when its time to deliver.
yes, they will take it back. yes, they wil block your ability to refund if you do it too much, and yes they are insane to even have that policy. enjoy at own risk
the issue is- If content will be good enough?
that's what I'm hoping as well
yeah feed them corpos, pay for it
can't wait to see stats like
new uber kills:
2772 paid class
500 pally
300 falconer
50 abom necro
20 void knight
10 everything else
its preference instead diablo and poe, and I am sure people spending more on them
, some people are freaking out like they are investors to a company when they are actually just customers who bought into a product
this
I buy what I want, I don't really care what was said before unless it actively removes things from me that I either paid for prior or enjoyed.
FOMO doesn't work on me
like imagine who runs the company, us
I count myself lucky there, it's clearly not actually a common thing
nor simply a just "don't be baited 4head" kinda thing
But if something doesn't appeal to me, it doesn't get my money. It's really just that simple.
I DO understand how terrible their optics have become though lmao
If EHG is guilty of any one mistake, it's terrible timing in like EVERYthing they do
i would rather buy expansion with class in it than classes separately
go buy some twitch streamers some gifts or subs
like 15 20 bucks
I don't want a refund, the money I spent was worth the fun I had.
the problem is optics aside, theres nearly 0 information to anything and youre leaving it up to speculation to determine if the future will be good
id say take a break, just enjoy other games and come back when we have more info about the expac and classes
true, or a class pass to all future classes but for like 25-30$
maybe after a couple classes tho
'cause we don't really know how many there will be
imagine a new player in 2 years, coming to the game oh here is your 10 different classes to buy
I am honestly playing different games while waiting new dlc š but its nice to read your opinions, we don't have nothing except waiting in the end
tho all the classes were like 90$ total
That's the thing nobody wants to admit.
They'll defend this game and devs for no reason.
Played this gamr longer than anyone and I love it, but they won't admit it.
I didn't play LE a whole lot compared to you but I wanted to come back once in a while it leave me a bad taste in my mouth, im definitely willing to pay idk 10-20dollars each season im coming back but in a different way
Krafton be making moves makes me sad
interesting thing they said for paradox classes, a fully alternate playable class built on systems that work differently from anything else in the game
so what type of classes can work different than classes in the game? wtf 
whats krafton
if you dont know then your in the wrong discord
yeah i thought about this, like new mechanics? this really puts older classes to shame
word choice is also interesting, paradox huh?
Yes first we're getting a hearts of iron class, then it'll be a stellaris one 
Mike said it's intentional that it's vague, or else it would spoil the whole thing
Oh I fully expect these classes to be remixes of the existing class characters
Like a "what if acolyte but holy" kinda thing
But that's pure speculation
yea same, or like "what if we allowed people to mix and match certain masteries"
I am all over the Crusader Kings class
God that would actually be cool
I don't think the world is ready for the crusader kings class
lol
i want terraria one
Gonna marry my daughter to a grole
sadly re-logic classes are not being added
nooo i want to blast enemies with last prism
That's a paid Paradox expansion
I don't think we have anything analogous to much of Asia
š
did you guys know bloodlines 2 is paradox? me neither 
kekw
lmao
That's the neat part, It wouldn't!
I think it's just reskinned falconer
You play the bird
falconer is just a reskinned planet cracker doomsday weapon
can't you deal with natural disasters in cities skylines, or was it just sim city ?
can we get skins and dances like in fortnite
I mean.. . CS2 has tornadoes.... so does Primalist
that depends, are fortnite dances in paradox?
age of wondrs 4 might have a goofy dance
Victoria 3 has dancing, im sure of it.
We can all be English statesmen and colonise the timelines.
it has entire balls. yes.
ok, purely speculation here, you don't think they are going to announce the prison architect class, do you?
Dungeon Keeper mod for Last Epoch? I'd play it.
that'd be a wild season mechanic
Undercover Boss: Orobyss Edition
I've been to the paradox interactive studio on a tour once, pretty neat place
Jelly
flexing on us plebs

nuh-uh
Don't feel like it
come on guys
Okay, here's the drama:
They're buffing falconer in season 4
All attacks of the falcon will be as strong as fully geared earthquake bear
What kind of drama you are looking for
k-drama
pretty sure the falcon just drops bears
get your facts straight
Wolf meteor making a comeback
if we will behave
beehave you mean
and not hurt people with clown emotes
it's LE bro
nah we can't survive the clown apocalypse
That's how it deals so much dmg
ever notice how both falconeer and the bear minion dont need to be wearing items to deal 300 million damage
illuminati confirmed
Guess the game
hello kitty island adventure
Close
lego batman
Colder
Titanfall 2
call of duty black ops 7
Even colder
last epoch from like 2018
is it a preview of the new paid class
bruh I thought this was wrong answers only
Clearly Total War Annihilation reskin of Last Epoch
It's obviously SpongeBob battle for bikini bottom
it might be knack for the playstation 2
bikini battle for spongebottom
Dont do that game dirty like that. It has insane speedruning community.
Dance dance Grolevolution
Cd ketchup strats go hard ngl
darn its not 2018?
Freddi Fish 3: The Case of the Stolen Conch Shell
its diablo 5
Cyborg. Come now. That is clearly Community Testing server content released outside NDA for original Abberoth fight
Is it the unreleased and cancelled Resident Evil GBC
half life 3?
Yo don't snitch wth /s
this guy thinks valve can count to 3 
hopium
hey you pikachu
As long as the crafting is nearly mission impossible i wonāt come backā¦
that's what primalist needs, bear only casts earthquake when you scream into your microphone commanding it
gamefreak was decades ahead of its time
mage arena inc
Ok
I figured it out
It's Last Epoch before they introduced the Early Access paid DLC for people who missed the kickstarter
close, it's actually paper mario and the sorcerer's stone
Fk
anyone could make that mistake

apart from paid class, this "roadmap" is a joke
Yeah, it is pretty sad
calling it a road map is pretty funny actually, have 2 things on there that we all knew kinda š
its almost non existent, i feel like solo developers deliver more
and having the next season in 3+ motnsh from now, the game will not recover
so much for " we want a shorter cycle between seasons"
maybe it's good to stop now and not have to deal with all of it next year
Well they said early 2026 so it could also be in january which isn't 3 months from now
Buut it could also mean february 
i highly doubt it will come out in early 2026
no teasers, no news on that, no screenshots from new "paid classes"
Because it's not ready to share yet.
if it would be jan/feb they would be able to share a date, how it is right now they are not even close to come up with a good season to bring the game back
a lot can happen in a few months
So if we are all unhappy with paid classes do we just convert over to 100% offline mode and call it a day?
how underwhelming are year lasting seasons
No. We don't have to do that to not buy the class if we don't wan it.
last season came out 3 months ago, how much time do they need to show us atleast something?
I got the impreasion the classes don't come until the expansion
As much as they need. You don't know how long anything on their back end takes
Patience is a lost virtue in gaming, I do get that, but you're gonna wait for it anyway
too long in modern game development, thats why they shoot themselves in the foot. I'm sure they appreciate your white knighting
bro if you call me unpatient because i dont want a game to have a year lasting seasons you arent build for arpgs
No, honestly, modern game development is as fast as it needs to be. The problem is the petulant masses being served with it. They'll take the time they need and anyone who cares will be here waiting for it.
If that's not enough people to keep them afloat, well, so be it.
but plenty of gonks who decry their lack of info will be just as present when that info does eventually drop
Much like many ragequit a season in any given game, only to come back for the next one
Half-Life more than 2 but less than 4
@vivid glen you guys lost the last bit of plot.
Shame on you. If this half expansion with the other half beeing wallet-locked really drops as you said, you sure know this game gets deleted as a sell-out should.
Bold move, cotton
maybe they should use AI, Krafton can help out I'm sure to be faster
A very much doubt a class is half the content.
have u played last season?
that "content" was not worthy of calling itself a season
i hope not xD would be kinda LOST š
It was decidedly more than a season is in many other games
calling the paid class half the content is probably generous at this point
Yes, last season also wasn't labled as an expansion so I can only imagine the new season is much bigger in scope.
Or would you call it something akin to D4 Season of More Powers
We'll just have to wait and see, no need to get your knickers all in a twist just yet.
pretty sure new class is OP af, so it sells aka the leader boards will be littered with p2w. very good!
Other genres maybe but not in the ARPG community.
LOL
PoE sort of set the bar for what a season can be.
"Pretty sure" about a thing that literally doesn't exist.
Sorry but I'll take LEs seasons over Diablo 4's anyday
i mean, who would buy it if its bad af? xD
At least most of that isn't wholly borrowed power all the time
atleast they exist
there's a middleground ffs lmao
perfect answer
Honestly, PoE has the genrespace in its pocket. No one's actually going to beat them unless they thread the corpo needle and can operate as a scale comparable to GGG but not so big they have to prioritize profit over design
no middle ground for ragebait 
That's a tall-ass ask in 2025
no endgame content, nothing to draw players back, just announcing paid class and posting image of non existent roadmap, i feel scammed
maybe they start charging people to be able to enter new monoliths, diablo immortal makes good money with it in asia. could be what they need at this point
stop giving them ideas š
After 0.4 if it turns out even just decent - LE going in the drain sorry
i just hope they will NOT let fkng streamers play the new class befor it releases, so there is already the BIS build out there ... and spoilers everywhere
A bit short sighted to say there is nothing? There are things there, meaning there is some content.
oh you bet, maxroll will have it all before it comes out
i hate that devs do this, makes their game a joke..
if thats the case im literally selling my steam account with the game in it for 5$
Gurl, spoilers? about a class? You're gonna have to unplug if that's your bar
Oh no, the expansion isn't likely getting into anyone's hands ahead of release
yeah like befor on release š
The class itself? Wholly expect it
Mechanical aspects about things like this are the bread and butter of arpg theorycraft and they outnumber the general populace when it comes to hype spread
It's a marketing thing and keeping things too underwraps is a good way to sell nothing
d4 season 11 starts in like two weeks, glad i will have to play something on christmas
thing is, all the streamers aka the unemployed, can hype up stuff better than any company can. so for sure they have it all upfront and make 100 youtube videos about it
games beeing solved befor they release is the worst that was done to gaming in general, imo
...? The streamers are literally working their jobs. That's why they're streamers.
agreed, it's hard to dodge aswell nowadays
Man, the hinges really are rickety in here
Sis it takes far more than a handful of content creators to solve a class
And that's not even counting multiple builds, which there will undoubtedly be
This is why I donāt get why the devs give themselves access to players. Could you imagine if during .2 someone could just ping Jonathan. This is why riot closed their forums 
also you seem to assume they'd just dump all that info out there without restraint. Not all of them are eager to get those clicks like that. Plenty of them have integrity in this specific regard
wild to call something a job that has no contribution to society š
wow, ok, you really can just go into the bin and never come out
then I have something in common with the game
What a clown-shoes ass take
Ishiga you get payed to be the oneman army here?
jt should be called paid hobby, not a job
I don't care if LE fails or not, I just lie people acting as if they have sense.
A person who plays video games belittles other people playing video games on a video game forum.
people are mad they are not paid for it I guess
I'm actually similarly disappointed in the game's trajectory as you guys. I just prefer not going off the rails about it.
why ? im curious
Because this is psychopathic
Nothing about this constant bile is healthy for anyone involved
@quick magnet you sound like a troll farm agent. Just sain.
constant doomer is not the way to go
i like to rant, and dont really care because i wont Play next season after todays annoucment
Say what you please, I'm not the one pinging the devs and lecturing them about standards I know nothing about
i'm angry and you need to know. get angry.
Precisely. I'm not jumping on this bandwagon and you can be as irritable about it as you like, I care so little I could pass out.
we're the customers, we should critique and complain about stuff that we dont like, because in the end we paid to play this game.
You got valid reasons for it. š
Absolutely valid to be upset.
I love LE news day. The LE community easily the most fun to watch.
But the constant denigration is already old and was pointless from jump
Absolut.
current plan : rant for a day or two about it -> get banned on this discord -> uninstall last epoch -> get back to normal
you forgot, rant on reddit about it š
Yeah that's a better place for it. Reddit has been a lost cause for years lmao
Paid class dlcs on top of paid expansion š¤”
???
Who uses reddit or Twitter anyways??! 2% of your pop?!
wait you have to pay expansion + new class?
ah okay š
expansion is free š¤”
The expansion is free if you already own the game
XD
Itās so good. People are soooo mad about something they havenāt had to pay for yet. šæ
Se how easy it can be spread bullshxt
You do if you dont already have the game when expansion comes out.
Tbh to me if something that's not mtx has to be paid a class being the thing is best case scenario. It's obviously still not positive but it's the lesser of the possible evils. Like when D3 release the necromancer class as a dlc I didn't mind at all because I wasn't interested in it so I just didn't buy it. And if I were interested I'd be happy to buy it. Obviously the whole balance and incentive to make the paid classes stronger than the free ones is a whole thing but that's just speculation basically. All we can do is hope they don't giga juice the paid class
Basically the base price of the game might get raised
It sounds like you can't buy it without the expansion once it comes out
true people are so mad for thing that aren't coming for like a year and they have no idea on how much it'll cost or if it'll happen again 
The expansion is just part of the game
So instead of 35 it might go up to 50 bucks or something. Pure speculation though
That's not a scenario that comes up here
mike said that it shouldn't tho
50 bucks is mental
Or it might've just been worded poorly and it'll stay at 35
The FULL content is the Expansion > DLC is just locked behind a paywall.
The base price of the game isn't going to change because the class isn't baked into it
Oh then there you go
Itās so good. Like these are actual grown men some with families and Iām watching people legit act like their life is over because they might have to pay $15 for a new class in a $30 rpg š
I think problem is timing. Imagine this announcement after banger season 4 and 5 instead of krafton buy out and season nemessis reskin. They are asking for a favor after letting down people back to back many times.
Cope to think they are 2 different things š
life is rought out here man š spending 45k on lost ark, cant spend 15 on new class-.-
correction - these are humans who incorrectly identify as gamers instead of humans.
yea it's wild š
Some love to take the shoe in their mouth instead just boot licking.
Is it? Tbh I think it's reasonable. In early access I think 35 bucks was a good price but at this point I think they can charge more and it's still worth the price. I've gotten thousands of hours and years of updates out of the game and the only money I needed to spend was 35 bucks
We're not defending anyone. We're mocking the unhinged demeanor
This is why we are. the inability to self-reflect
Yeah I bought new silent hill the other day and finished it and it was $70 
Well gaslightning is all what is left.
who's gaslighting who, nothing's out yet š
what's 50 bucks?
Dont mind him, he just wants to be mad
Nothing
All is fine > house is burning š
I was just making up hypotheticals
other video games, but not last epoch, at least currently.
I see
i wasn't folowwing conversation
what in the ChatGPT is happening today in this discord lmao
AI is taking over š
It'd be smarter than much of these responses
LE a fun game, devs if you reading this just charge what you gotta charge. Give me some good stuff to swipe for and Iāll swipe next season. Good luck.
^
Judgment day šš
i bought the first few packs, but ahve to admit its nothing close to poe's shop.. i wouldve cashed much more xD
EHG are sell outs. Straight to the point.
eh poe shop mid this last season, i bought both supporter packs and did not even use any of the new stuff, did not really like it, but did get new async tabs
personally the paid classes really leave a bad state in my mouth but idk what else is happening beside that
Nothing
lmao if they said paid dlc it would have been same reaction
idk i scrolled up and read about nemesis reskin season
My updated āshould costā answer (short)
If the studio must become profitable quickly and wants the least community friction: Base: USD $35ā40; Major expansion: USD $15ā25 (Option D).
If the studio wants to avoid new paywalls and is confident in volume: Base: USD $40ā45 (Option A).
If they want to stay closest to current community expectations: Base: USD $30ā35 + robust optional cosmetics and deluxe bundles (Option C), but that may be slower to reach profitability.
Krafton Troll farm alert šÆ
Thanks ChatGPT.
Yeah nothing else that anyone's said is anything but conjecture and whining
I think they should make better and more skins or come up with another way to spend money than buying classes
All the info we have is in the forum post
I hate the idea
All what announced is
- free xpac
- paid classes
- 2 seasons before xpac
Well they need a bigger chunk faster than cosmetics can give them
xpac ?
Expansion
2 season beforte expansion ? aren't season and expansion the same ?
maybe in 3 years we will get something to do apart from aberroth
No
Thing is box price will never be able to sustain it I don't think. Even if they made it 120 bucks
True. I can only assume Judd fed all their numbers into Grok and it told them what to do
The expansion is meant to be much larger than a typical season. That's why it's such a big deal
I would prefer buy expansion than classes
The problem is people lack faith because of their disappointment with the game as it currently is
personally
which is wholly valid but ultimately baseless
They're just not willing to take the bet on the future here
and really, really want everyone to know about that fact
you are 100% correct
Tbh I disagree
I think paid classes is better than paid content (as in farming content)
Maybe we can get Judd to become new Krafton CEO then he can fund his toy project forever. Let's do it people.
the more you start to section off content the more annoying, confusing and expensive it get
you speculating?
Game is good. It just needs constant cash injection
Because if stuff like crafting materials, uniques and whatever else start being behind paid content it would suck a whole lot more not having that than not having a class you're not interested in to begin with
No, I'm not speculating, that's why this is so special. It's being highlighted by the devs as something apart from seasons. That's the whole point.
Elon has his brain implants and space rockets. We can have our game.
welcome to the new player logging in to find he doesn't have 14 classes/expansion that cost each x amount of stuff x) you have game I litterally don't try because of that like destiny
anyway not a big deal for now
Destiny's content model is the least of its problems
destiny was fire.. you buy expansion, come back 3 years later, expansion content deleted š
And the same balance concerns apply to paid expansions. They'd have just as much incentive to make the paid expansions content op and the most efficient as they would making a paid class op. So to me a paid expansion is basically purely worse than a paid class
seems like a balanced assessment.
Boooo
tomatoes incoming
At least with paid classes I can look at it and be like nah not my cup of tea I'm sticking to spellblade and then just not get it
If it was paid expansions I'd feel compelled to get them every time
Because its content I can do with the class I like
'sif you play anything other than spellblade anyway Cyborg! š
People just feel like it should be part of the baseline game but why is anyone's guess at this point.
@quick magnet none of this. Both are digging deeper into their grave. FOCUS on visual sell able content got totaly lost on them. Their quality was BAD with a handfull ok options. NO ONE bought from the shop bc onlx trash in it.
⢠wondering WHY no cash flow between seasons.
The DCL will change norhing. Just a short term cash grab selling out their words ofc tust.
But now I get that part for free
Exactly, this is the best outcome for me 
sekrit judd alt
yeah the skin model didn't worked out but the skins mostly suck and were so bare
Judd is a sorc main
well then there better be a paradox meteor
just shows, you should not guarantee stuff that actually comes around and hurt you. the lead guy from EHG saying that expansions will be free is really hurting them now. it's basically on themselves that they are in this situation. I don't think there would be any outrage if they would've just shut up and just made a 20$ expansion
it's enough
This is a typical FOMO tactic they are doing. Daddy krafton forces its first FOMO on the players.
The class will be broken strong 100%
I bought every supporter pack. Not 1 dime anymore for liars.
you don't know that
What's the fomo? It's not limited time or supply
what did they lie about ?
LIES FALLACIES UNTRUTHS
It's the fact that he assumes they'll make the class overpowered on purpose
so he's sort of paranoid about the FOMO aspect
Never to sell any kind of dlc, expantion.
they kinda lost a lot of good faith i guess
I just seen the update and im sorry paid classes?? So much wrong with that but imo finish the campaign and make the game not feel like an unrecognizable beta, welp Druid poe2 here i come
Hell, in fairness, some people experience FOMO for much smaller things than others.
theres no shot they don't make it OP, why would anyone buy it ???
a roadmap inspired by Jabba the Hutt's minion, Fallacious Crummy!
yeah im disappointed too
Just seeing someone with the class and they don't have it is enough to cause some folks anxiety
Because it's cool and fun? I would buy it even if it's mid
they will be super op
I play spellblade lul
To legit get that, but also, you're not special
You're not the anchor capitalism revolves around
š¼ yes i am
I wish
make me grole class now Judd
I would understand if I paid for early access and needed to pay again to play full release. Now they want me to pay a second time already just to play the early access? Wtf?!
If the game felt like it was in a good spot Iād still be like damn crazy there pay walling it but Iād be more willing to spend, in the current state theres 0 chance
The full EA*
They need a steady source of income. Even if they made you pay 200 bucks for 1.0 it would eventually die
ngl I would even prefer paying a sub than classes xD (yeah im used to mmo)
I'm sorry, no????
So now I need to pay for their inability to plan the business?
I want to pay more for less Ishiga
where are people getting this nonsense
what don't you get
You don't need to do anything. You can if you feel it's worth it
that's personal preference, i prefer paying a sub than 30 classes separately
It's just so sad man, other titles are paid once and they don't try to grab more cash
Hot take - if you don't like it, don't pay. Then, the game fails and the world keeps spinning.
Yeah, non-live games do that
Then they should have taken notes and not release damn ugly mtx. Community saying this for longer that this shit in the shop is trash
Which live service game are you talking about?
This is a live service trying to stay alive.
There's no accounting for taste.
What you don't like, someone else will
I don't disagree but I guess they decided they just couldn't make it happen
Paying for classes/specs is really bad because ofcourse they are going to make the new class or spec the most fun or the strongest to play, because they want as many people as possible to buy it. All their effort will go into those new classes/spece
I knew they going in a wall with their skins, I was always wondering how they get money
The same argument can be had for paid content
This has to be ragebait, Poe, Warframe, where winds meet, list goes on and on of free games that dont paywall content
Yeah this is not rooted in reality, i agree
I paid to EHG by my artworks because I can help nothing about real money :)
Paid anything that has impact on gameplay has the incentive of being better than the norm for the devs
Sadly LE is the worst one of POE 1 + 2 and Last Epoch. Well POE2 just needed to be paid once and will be free on release.
I played one Season of last epoch and then there was no content to really do anything and now they want me to pay again š
I hope they are inspired by the Runemaster. Bring on the jank I say
It's not specific to classes
Its a double edged sword. Paid class weak ? No one buys, paid class strong ? P2W
And thats sadly the beginning of p2w features
Poe sustains itself on stash tab purchases
its unhealthy
I paid for the game, already so now it's not paid anything, but double paid anything
and they make great skins which is where come most of the money
id rather buy tabs than acual classes
holy fk imagine having to buy tabs in LE. They would make so much money/angry
paid class feels like something you would encounter on a roblox rpg server
They stated many times stash tab purchases are minority of their incomes and they dont add new stash tab leagues for a while.
I know and that's how I don't need to double pay for the druid and 12.12.
Its just D3 formula, and oh boy the necromancer patch was such a success amirite ? 
Yes, and it's why shit like that is bad. Personally I even dislike skins etc behind a paywall because its so much better when they are prestige/achievement things. But it doesn't affect gameplay so thats why I can compensate on that. Locking classes and specs behind paywall opens the door to paywalling anything imo.

Maybr i can even get a refund since the selling reason changed ny breaking their false advertisment of the game > 1 price = all future content included with pointing out never payed DLC.
Maybe the EU should look into it as well.
I actually don't know if that's true. I feel like it might not be. I think it's either close or stash tabs win out
im almosit sure it is, skin are way more expensive and the packs can be worth hundreds of dollars, I bought a few
It is true sadly. There are unique cosmetics that makes you go "gotta have this" feeling.
You have to consider that in Poe people who buy lots of cosmetics are like the 0.1%. while almost everyone who gets to endgame buys stash tabs
So even if that 0.1% spends like 50x the amount the stash tabs would still win
but stash tabs you do it once and rarely increase them whil skins you always need the new one kinda
Yeah and everyone even playing level 2 of LE has paid already, I don't see me paying again. This game had potential
I have not spend a dime on tabs in the last 3 years but have on mtx every league. I think u huffing some copium here. Mtx is the main income
I mean they release new tabs from time to time, that on top of people making new accounts since it's free and buying tabs on those accounts (bots and stuff actually profit ehg because of this) provide a steady source of income
that's false. The expansion will be included with any new purchase of the game. it's very clear.
or is it
are you so sure about that
There is limited ammount of stash tabs a normal person can use. They innovate on cosmetics. Just google poe plifering ring and read what it does. You will understand what we mean by cosmetics.
regardless the fault doesn't lie in the model but the quality and quantity of their skins to me
I don't disagree
Simply put they couldn't make cosmetics work
So they need to pivot
Yes. And I quote:
New players and PlayStation 5 players will be purchasing Last Epoch, all of its seasonal content, and the Orobyss expansion as one updated purchase.
Make better skin, get steady income. Would not be the first company to get this done, and that's truly optional and fine I guess
idk why, poe can do it
They don't
they've put very little effort into this
Stash tabs are a huge part of Poe's monetization
And it's not the same as a box price
I've felt like this also
he got poofed
Don't ping ehg members please

No, it is not allowed in the EU to advertise a product as being complete and then sell it with DLC that was not disclosed, as this is considered a misleading commercial practice and a violation of EU consumer law. This applies particularly to digital content, where new rules grant consumers rights to solutions like refunds for defective products. Advertising that misleads consumers about the contents or features of a product is illegal.
Have you ever played poe or do you have any idea how long has been they released a new stash tab?
I have I think 8k hours in poe
They released one with the most recent patch
Well, between 1 and 2
The merchant tab is new
Brother is on to somethimg
the 35 euros that LE costs is a huge part of their monetization
And you know they dont release new stash tabs for few years and league content has its own free stash tab. Why are you lying
that doesn't mean EHG has put enough effort into making skins work
Brother is quoting ChatGPT AND spoon feading it misleading questions...
good
What did I lie about? I just said they release them from time to time. I didn't say they do it all the time or that you need to keep buying new stash tabs or you get left behind or anything
Misleading advertising is illegal: EU law prohibits misleading advertising that could lead consumers to make a purchase they otherwise wouldn't have.
Digital content and contracts: The EU's Digital Content Directive and Sale of Goods Directive protect consumers who purchase digital content or goods with digital elements.
Consumer rights: If a product or digital content is sold with misleading information about its features or completeness, consumers have legal rights.
Based
I think everyone knows the base price for LE = the necesary stash tabs for POE, so it's not really a valid argument for making skins work, or other visual products
This isn't the case for le though?
They announced the paid dlc prior to release so this is moot. by your lkogic, no game could ever have paid content in it's entire lifespan
I mean stash tabs don't come close to ā¬35. So if you take the LE initial cost into the calculation PoE doesn't come close to it with their stashtabs
They literally stated that stash tab income is minusclue and they dont plan to release a stash tabs on league content.
Also.. they are currently selling the product with the correct information.. Once the expansion comes out it will be included in the purchase.. there is 0 "misleading" information about its features or completeness.
And they dont release since then
Merchant tab is new
They announced from KICKSTARTER ON never paid dlc & expantions.
Ive spent give or take 60⬠on poe stashtabs, and I play since ambush. Tabs are not why I buy supporter packs, its quality good mtx
Oh sweet summer child
Really? That surprises me ngl
You go in website and convert your existing tabs with one click and no cost.
again, you cannot hold a company to a statement made years prior to release. situastions change. you are being extremely weird about this.
did they sign a binding agreement with anyone about that? or because they announced it on Kickstarter they must obey?
or you buy them
because you don't want to convert
law is law
False advertisment with broken selling point.
it's okay to be upset when someone makes you a promise and doesn't hold up their end of the bargain
It cout s as written contract. Law is law
Products are allowed to change over time. This is not what the false advertising law is about
what's not okay is for someone to lie to u for u to be like, nah, situations change, it's okay
that woukld never stand in court. this idea that if you EVER say there will be no paid dlc at any point, then you can never, ever make any even years down the line or the EU will try to fine you, is absurd
The law is basically if I tell you my chocolate has 5 grams of sugar but it has 20 grams
Effectiv as soon I dun get fulll content.
please live in reality
It will š
Don't feed the trolls. All their energy is hoovered up to make more paid DLC for D4
the law doesn't work how you think it does.
I have no words to describe this.. quoting chat gpt and maintaining that they are 100% correct.. I now get the phrase, go touch grass..
when's the next ehg stream?
but it will bring them to reality š
We will see... I'll make some calls. As a German I'll will take the steps.
you really are a miserable people
Not this Friday but the one after
No need to stress about it, do what Iām doing- put a reminder in for December 2026, play other stuff until then and have a look at where the game is at / pricing etc at the end of next year.
