That this company gets some more financial support so it can create a game that's fun to everyone. And I hope the devs will listen to community and fix whatever issues arise to build a good relationship.
You see there was a community like that back in the day, it was POE community, now the game and the relationship between devs and players is going to sh*t, so me and and a bunch of other dudes really want this game to pop off you hear me?
External link →The support we’ve gained as an indie team has been amazing. We’ve grown this team and game from an after hours project I started in the summer of 2017 to what it is via a modest Kickstarter and the backing of this player base through early access sales. We’re now at the point where funding is what we need to make the game we want to make with a team we’re very confident in. You’ll see a ton of updates to content that was made when we were a much smaller low-budget studio in upcoming patches.
And we’re always listening and asking for feedback! Join our discord and forums for more Epoch discussions with the community and our team https://discord.gg/lastepoch
I would love to buy Last Epoch again (me and a friend refunded it after we learned about multiplayer not being a thing yet). I know that it is on the horizon but I‘m really eager to get into the game together with my friends. Is there any ETA on the MP release? When I google the topic i always get „next big update“ from posts almost a year ago. I‘ve mostly heard late 2021 but would it be possible to PinPoint it to a Quarter?
Hey Joey, we’re excited to let you guys play together more than you can imagine. Multiplayer is one of those things that will be ready when it’s ready but I can assure you that we’re playtesting it internally, working through updates diligently, and when it’s in your hands it will be in a state we believe is solid. For more context, right now we’re addressing server side quest issues related to different party states (party leader and party members at different progressions).

Is this to say EHG is fundraising somehow? Investment round perhaps?
It's clear from recent dev blogs that the team is growing, the capability is growing etc and that more resource could be utilised. Given the lifespans of PoE/D2/D3 it's probably not too hard a sell to an investor?
We've been approached by every publisher and investor under the sun it feels like. We've actually explored this a bit but we're unwilling to lose any decision making power or agility that has gotten us to where we are, so we are still fully independent without outside funding. The funds come from the sales of the game and we've been very fortunate that people have had enough faith in our team and vision to continue to support us by purchasing higher tier supporter packs and spreading the word to their gamer friends. It has been quite a ride, haha!
