Hello,
Just discovered your game. I am a big ARPG fan, played lots of D1, D2, D3 and most recently PoE. Something that concerns me when I was reading here was about singleplayer. It is not clear to me whether or not items and the actual character are stored remotely on your servers even when playing singleplayer, is this the case? Otherwise some of the mystery of the game will quickly vanish in the form of character editors and other various cheat tools.
Not to mention the multiplayer. I hope you guys are developing last epoch using a server-authoritative architecture so that the clients are dumb and the server holds the truth, just like in any mmorpg. These days, asking for an internet connection to be able to play is really not too much to ask for. In my opinion, the trade-off is worth it without a question. In the end, this comes down to the long-term health of the game. Please, keep the secrets on your servers, don't let people manipulate the game and discover stuff they are not supposed to.
Just my 2 cents, thanks for adding to the ARPG-genre!
