The Travelers backpack back slot cosmetic will be given to ALL owners of Last Epoch who own a copy prior to the Multiplayer Beta Patch 0.9, coming on March 9th, so there is still time to get the game and the backpack!

If you are thinking about jumping into the world of Eterra there is still time to also get the original supporter packs, but those will be going away during our March 9th release, and a new set of supporter packs will become available. The price for Last Epoch will still remain the same, so you don’t need to worry about a price increase when the launch happens.

A note about current supporter packs and upgrading:

If you purchased the game through our website, and would like to upgrade your supporter pack, you can have this done through a support ticket to the link below.

If you purchased the game through Steam, or via a Steam Key, and you’d like to upgrade your supporter pack to a higher tier pack before 0.9, we can’t technically do an upgrade. However, since your purchase on Steam is already considered the Ardent Gladiator supporter pack, and you wish to upgrade to one of the other packages (only available until March 9th), we can offer an additional 350 cosmetic coins as we cannot refund Steam purchases in any way. We can do this for you by submitting a ticket to the link below after purchasing the desired pack.

Thank you to everyone who has helped us on this incredible journey and we look forward to seeing you all showing off your Backpack!

Thank You to everyone,
Last Epoch Team

Whether he made it onto the backpack or not, that moment will always be immortalized!

It isn’t available in game until the next patch. We can’t add things to the game files without a patch.

I’m sorry, I don’t have any more info on it, you can put in a support ticket and they will be able to give you more info.

Hey folks - EHG_Steve here. I am the marketing person for Eleventh Hour Games and Last Epoch.

I wanted to pop in and address this because there are definitely multiple ways this can be interpreted, but it’s important to know what our goal/intent was as well.

First, it was absolutely our intent for the Travelers Backpack to be our way of saying Thank You to those who had supported us in previous years. We were coming off of the most extended delay between patches (with it having been a year between significant content updates), and we wanted to create something for the community that was specific and special to that community.

Second, there are those who would choose to pick up the game because of this special MTX, as it was the first time we had done something like this specifically. Pretty much anytime a company offers a thing, there are those who are going to want it. This is the reason we chose to advertise it. It was less about us wanting to create FOMO and more about knowing that FOMO exists and people would be more upset if we didn’t say anything.

It was for those two reasons and much more that we decided to advertise the backpack. We knew the community would be pumped, and we knew those on the fence might say this was the reason to jump on.

However, the critical factor here is that this was a gift to those who were with us before 0.9. We knew 0.9 would bring a lot of new players, and while we have things planned for those who have joined after, this gift specifically was for our community.

With Love,
Steve

No worries.

I am with you, and some of your points are valid, to be fair. I think what you are describing is an issue that is a larger issue in the industry and hobby. There are just too many games. Even in things like a niche genre, its REALLY hard for a game to break through the noise, and often times, something you would have absolutely jumped at, just doesn’t even make it to your radar until its too late.

Personal anecdote, I am a huge Tabletop Roleplayer. I’ve been GM’ing games for decades.

It’s really frustrating the amount of awesome Kickstarter, or early adopt programs I miss that I would have supported, simply because there are soo stinking many.

We are at a point with GenCon (for those of you who know), that its very easy to miss a great game, or multiple great games, simply because there are not enough hours in the day to take a look at them.

Hello Gattaca,

Unfortunantely the promotion for the backpack was purchases had to be made BEFORE the 0.9.0 launch. Which means if you purchased on the day of, it would have been to late.

Hey mate,

That’s on me. I apologize. All I saw was the part about purchasing on March 9th, and not the 2021 bit. My bad.

@Wick_EHG - Can we help him out?
