why do you all think the LE playerbase is so aggressive? D4, POE and TLI all spend money really easily, like I never care about having to swipe in those games, but anytime LE does anything its like a huge deal and they have not even charged extra for anything in the game yet

calm zodiac
#

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

gleaming vigil
#

I just read the article, I'm sad, what just happened

acoustic palm
#

Well when I bought LE it promised more classes with 1,0. So there's that.

gleaming vigil
#

Paid to win classes

#

Sad

#

I don't think that was a promise

if its $10 to play a class just pay the $10?

acoustic palm
#

I checked and acolyte and falconer were these classes

#

why complain are you 13 years old and mommie gives you limited allowance

acoustic palm
#

Which we have now

tidal heart
#

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

Yeah, sorry. 5 am brain.

I wonder how long it will take before people start dropping this topic.

#

The thing is that if LE had a paid expansion , people would just buy it. It's just that paid DLC triggers people.

Let's see how many people pay 1.4 first.

This league was so zzzz I dont think im playing till expansion

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

indigo mist
#

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.

hoary urchin
#

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

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

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.

its not that different, now, i won't even compare to diablo 4 cause things are kinda out of the line there lol

We compare 30 euro invested in LE vs 30 euro invested in Poe/Poe 2 (MTX and stashes are shared)

crystal crown
#

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

lofty oxide
#

Paid early access =/= paid game

calm zodiac

If i can only get a game by paying, it is a paid game lol

So is poe 1 a paid game?

Direct contrast from D2

Also, CS2 and valorant also has better monetization them POE, but i digress once again

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 )

I'm more excited for the 2 days of gameplay for new d3 seasons than LE seasons lol

Diablo 2 resurrected is 1 billion times better them diablo 3, and project diablo 2 is much better them both.

Itemization is the most important part of any ARPG and sadly diablo 3 and 4 ruined it.

Yet It makes more stonks than D2 ever did, and that's what matters ( for a company)

At least we can witness the epic new story LE will prepare us for free in the expansion, so there's that.

but crafting = best ever in LE 10000%

#

It's very deterministic, easy to get what you want

calm zodiac
#

I feel like they did a lot of things right

#

The main drawback i feel like for LE... is that LE has one of the most boring campaigns in any ARPG

acoustic palm
#

Aside from pushing corruption for no actual benefit than loot which you already have

calm zodiac
#

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

Season died fast cause it had a boring theme, with a not so fun gimmick, the only good thing was t8 stuff.

crystal crown
#

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

acoustic palm
#

If corruption Gave us Uber points or something to make our class better it would be an incentive to keep playing.

calm zodiac

I feel like we all agree that season 2 was the best by a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong shot

crystal crown

yes

Yeah

It should’ve been. It took a year to make

Yeah, and there's nothing to compare it to. 1.3 was empty

#

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.

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.

acoustic palm

Yeah, because that's what this game needed, more expansion for that beautiful story

calm zodiac

#

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?

calm zodiac
#

I believe that everyone here being those who take issue with paid chars or not, i believe everyone agree that this announcement was terrible

acoustic palm
#

It didn't hype us, it revealed nothing to make sales go better.

crystal crown
#

agreed

acoustic palm
#

It's like reading that the government increased taxes for next year. Okay, fun.

calm zodiac
#

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.

south moat
#

Imagine if by "early 2026" they don't mean january

acoustic palm
#

Probably February

#

Realistically march

calm zodiac
#

Feb would crash with POE1 league, not smart

#

Diablo 4 league... nobody cares about that one so they can release near that

#

Poe2 will kill diablo 4 for good in december now anyway.

acoustic palm
#

Nah, D4 and Poe 2 player base doesn't really connect

calm zodiac

I feel that D4 game play is closet to Poe 1 than to poe2

stable forum
#

they probably do want to have a proper hype cycle for S4 so Feb is more likely

acoustic palm
#

I play all arpgs, I enjoy em anyway

calm zodiac
#

Poe2 season will release less then a week after d4 so welp, its the same thing they did to LE.

calm zodiac
crystal crown
#

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

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

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 🤣 , which basically killed all of the goodwill from hearing about a free expansion

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.

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.

My updated ā€œshould costā€ answer (short)

If the studio must become profitable quickly and wants the least community friction: Base: USD $35–40; Major expansion: USD $15–25 (Option D).

If the studio wants to avoid new paywalls and is confident in volume: Base: USD $40–45 (Option A).

If they want to stay closest to current community expectations: Base: USD $30–35 + robust optional cosmetics and deluxe bundles (Option C), but that may be slower to reach profitability.

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?!

# spark flume yeah im disappointed too

If the game felt like it was in a good spot I’d still be like damn crazy there pay walling it but I’d be more willing to spend, in the current state theres 0 chance

Hot take - if you don't like it, don't pay. Then, the game fails and the world keeps spinning.

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

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

# simple bison Which live service game are you talking about?

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 šŸ™

It's not specific to classes

Its a double edged sword. Paid class weak ? No one buys, paid class strong ? P2W

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.

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

#

Yeah and everyone even playing level 2 of LE has paid already, I don't see me paying again. This game had potential

#

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

are you so sure about that

Simply put they couldn't make cosmetics work

So they need to pivot

# brittle aurora or is it

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

They don't

Stash tabs are a huge part of Poe's monetization

And it's not the same as a box price

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.

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.

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

I mean stash tabs don't come close to €35. So if you take the LE initial cost into the calculation PoE doesn't come close to it with their stashtabs

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

did they sign a binding agreement with anyone about that? or because they announced it on Kickstarter they must obey?

No need to stress about it, do what I’m 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.
