Hey guys, really having a good time with Last epoch but I am wondering how much the game will actually change / how much content will be added with the 1.0 Patch/ Update?

I know that the campaign is obv not complete and will be completed with 1.0 but outside of that and the 2 missing masterys , what is to expect of the 1.0 Update?

Will at be as big and game changing as a BG3 Early access to 1.0 update or will it just feel like a big update with a few new features and areas?

I really dont know what to expect exactly of the 1.0 so maybe some of you have more insight to what will be added and changed with 1.0?

Well, lots of the little details are still unrevealed but the main things are item factions, warlock and falconer.

You can see lots of info in the dev update that went out this morning.

One thing to note is that the no new campaign chapters are coming at 1.0. The campaign will be completed across future updates.

Wait not even 1 more chapter? I thought it got changed from full campaign to 1 additional chapter, but now you're saying no new story chapter at all? Fair enough, but it does seem weird to have a full release without a complete campaign. Especially for the most casual players who just play through games like this once for the story and then move on.

I could be wrong but I don't think we have said another story chapter is coming at 1.0 for a really long time now. If you know of an official post saying something else then I'm probably just wrong.

I do see a lot of posts that state wrong information with confidence to the point that it seems like it must be true. I try to set those straight but even a misleading topic title can be enough to seed that false information.

Edit: I also don't think we've said it would be full campaign for a few years now.

No new campaign but do we get new "cycle" content (new game mode, new item customization, new story, cycle challenges & rewards....etc which is specified for the cycle)?

Could you please reveal a little bit?

Please see the announcement post from this morning for the most up to date information of what we are working on.

Thats very sad to hear, because the campaign ends very aprubt and I think many players who will start playing with 1.0 will expect a finished experience.

This could lead to a lot of confusion.

I am Wondering why its even called 1.0 if not even the campaign will be finished with the Release.

For me sounds more like a big Update than a full Release Update, but maybe i am a bit too harsh.

But Personaly I would prefere waiting longer for 1.0 if it really woule conclud a whole and finished experience.

With any live service game that has been in early access for as long as we have, the 1.0 distinction is fairly arbitrary. It really just marks the point where we are happy to present it to the world as a product up to our standards. Even when the campaign is "finished", the story telling won't.

We've run a few surveys and read a metric !@#$ ton of feedback and feel that the feature set and timing we are going to release 1.0 with will be the best for the game. It won't be perfect for everyone but we think it's going to be awesome.

nah they're talking about the plan of chapter 11 & 12 and the context of the ending chapters. so the disappointment is inevitable. better just shut up about it if they're not gonna forward the story 100%. they might mislead player to buy their game because people anticipating the complete campaign.

I think you might have replied to the wrong comment.

why you guy are so quiet about the campaign update? or is it people EXPOSED your shady intention of getting people on board then scrap the campaign? sadly you're almost have me buy several copy if you're stick to your plan to release the bonus campaign. now you earn 0 respect from me and will not getting any penny from me. the whole world is talking EHG is silence and guilty about the hoax update. why should i care yet another game that has the same fate like wolcen? boring grindy endgame update in final version with no actual meat in it? lmao. i'm cared more about dev that actually taking their promises into account , and i'm absolutely willing to pay extra because they deserve it. the difference is vital , depend on you taking community seriously or not.

I've literally said it live in front of thousands of people multiple times.

Edit: also, it's not just 11 and 12, it's also cheaper 10.
