Heyo!
Our standalone client typically isn't on sale at different times from the Steam client. They're the same game, afterall. :)

Thanks for compiling this!
Just so you know, Eterra is herself a god - as is Orobyss.
I found that anything after a : gets cut, and doesn't display
This is indeed a known bug that we're looking into.
I can't promise it will be fixed in time for Patch 0.8.2, but I'm hopeful.
I noticed that too, here's how to fix it:
You. I like you.
Those outliers are putting a major fire under us to ensure this is shored up as quickly as possible and until then we're rotating the dev team to monitor chat.
That's a damn shame.
Kind of on the topic of social stuff though, do you guys have any concrete plans on guilds and guild functionality? I mean, just a guild chat would be amazing (and might alleviate the problems in global chats somewhat).
Concrete plans for them, not at the moment. If it’s a common request after multiplayer is launched or we come up with a cool guild system idea I wouldn’t rule it out though
Not bad, sir! Not bad at all :)
We're working on it! I know we say this at a high level quite often which isn't always the most satisfying answer. Our main goals this last week were to make scene transitioning, which requires spinning up additional remote servers, more optimal. This basically boils down to... "load faster!!". We've brought in some very talented engineers over the last year that are ensuring we're in good standing on the technical side of things.
As far as when... all we can say is when it's ready. I can promise that we're working very diligently with many engineers on it. Thanks for your patience - we're very excited to get it right and bring it to everyone.
We have some great controller improvements coming in 0.8.3 actually! One being the proximity based item pickups which is feeling very nice. I'm particularly excited about this because I play with a controller 90% of the time due to some pretty intense RSI myself.
Gamepad didn't get much love the last couple patches because our main developer that was working on those features moved into multiplayer development tasks which took priority. We've since then moved another developer into those tasks and we're picking them back up again. Good stuff on its way!
this morning there were people openly abusing the lack of chat moderation by posting extremely racist comments that seemed to be one-uping each other to see how far they could go before they got banned.
The in game reports needs to happen soon! Thanks!
When we catch people doing things that are blatantly trying to harm the game experience for others at this magnitude they are being game banned. Fortunately, the vast majority of players have been fostering good community discussion. Those outliers are putting a major fire under us to ensure this is shored up as quickly as possible and until then we're rotating the dev team to monitor chat. Thanks for bearing with us
Yes, you make some great points.
Its irksome all the racism, sexism, homophobia etc we have to deal with online. the repercussions are often very limited punishments that, for the most part, are just minor inconvenience to the offender.
You’re right though, the permanency of it. Especially when we account for minors.

This is definitely a fair criticism initially - however if you keep breaking the same rule, you work your way up the ‘penalty volcano’.
We try to have a light hand at first, but we expect people to learn from initial moderation. Continually breaking the same rule will see progressively harsher responses administered.
I don’t understand the necessity of censoring names, someone feel free to explain to me their point of view.
To me, you’ve said those things on a public platform, a platform you know is being recorded. Why shouldn’t this person be held accountable for his words?
So much hate is given under the shield of anonymity.
Edit: I misinterpreted the first paragraph. Yes, it makes sense to mitigate shaming of people just trying to do their jobs.
So, there's a few reasons.
Please understand that it's the weekend - and 11:30 at night where I live - but to list off a few at the top of my head;
It's so strange to me that people feel the need to be jerks in public chat channels. Especially people who seem to spend hours at a time just posting trolling posts like "PoE is better." over and over again. But I guess revilement is a form of connection and empowerment for some sad folks out there.
So great to hear there are tools coming to make reporting faster and easier.
Yeah, I feel sorry for folks who look forward to the weekend to do... that.
Great to know this is coming down the pipeline. I figured I'd have to turn global chat off as the game got busier, but maybe not.
I can't promise there'll never be any objectionable language or behaviour in chat, but we'll definitely be making improvements.

I'm very sorry to hear that. I can't honestly claim to have personally seen it.
We do action reports we receive as appropriate, as well as sometimes having staff quietly monitoring chat. We do care about doing better here.
You know you're hitting the big time when you have to spend more and more time devoted to smoothing people's social behaviors.
John, thanks for taking this on, if you all handle this subject they way you've handled everything else with Last Epoch it'll be straight up Grade A.
And seconded on the 'sticky post.'
❤️
Maybe sticky this post?
Not ruling it out, but trying to see whether this is a short-term focus or more of a long-term discussion (at least until we ship better tools).
Hi there!
Today a member of the community posted here on r/LastEpoch to share their concerns regarding in-game moderation - which is, of course, fine. Regretfully, the post also included screenshots of in-game chat to 'name and shame' individual people - which is not.
As we had to action the thread for a rules violation, I am creating this thread so that the community has a place to openly discuss our policies, the moderation of our in-game chat, and the current process of how people bring inappropriate behaviour to our attention.
Last Epoch's ...
