I completely understand the frustration that the community is expressing with the time it's taken us to get multiplayer out the door and our previous inaccurate estimates to do so, and I won’t defend us on it. Creating a server-authoritative ARPG when we started as an after hours, non-funded project was much more complex, costly, and came with more challenges than we anticipated, even with anticipating many. I should have been more confident in our progress before the team was speaking to any type of timeframes with the community. We’ve had to switch third party providers for some services, rewrite systems to scale better, and just in general figure a lot of things out that a more experienced team may have had better foresight on.

We’re in it for the long game though and we’re building the game that we want to play as a group of die-hard ARPG fans ourselves. If we didn’t think server auth was important we could have had a version of MP out the door 2 years ago. I can’t p...

thank you very much :D

I'm sorry but it still has some mistakes. Can you change it to this?

-Legendary Potential is a number which can appear on any droppable unique item. You will be able to combine it with an exalted (purple) item which shares an item type with it and has 4 affixes on it. Merging them together in the Temporal Sanctum will make the unique become legendary by taking a number of random affixes from the exalted item equal to the legendary potential.

Great little writeup, could I request that unique and legendary get their terms flipped in the post? You find Uniques with Legendary Potential and add an exalted to it to then make it Legendary.

The game is currently CPU bound so upgrading your video card rarely has much of an impact on performance. Enabling streamer mode, even if you're not streaming will likely have a decent impact.

As a reference, I'm running a GTX 1080Ti on medium high settings at 1440 while streaming and it's butter smooth.

Major performance updates have been done and we had hoped to have those out already. They are bundled in with 0.9 and will be coming out March 9th.

Patch 0.9.0 will have a whole lot of other updates and additions! We'll be releasing another Dev Blog later this week which will have some more information on some of the things coming in 0.9.0, as well as our previous dev blogs, and teasers we've released (one of our community members has compiled a list of all teasers we've released on our forums here: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/dev-q-a-weve-sprung-a-leak/49707). The big categories for 0.9.0 are Multiplayer, Combat Feel, and Performance. So there's tons of VFX and SFX changes, new models, updated maps, balance...

Community testers have constant access through the CT Program. So they 'technically' won't receive an invite, but will still have access to multiplayer through the normal program so don't need an invite.
