Correct - The change to snowdrift was not a change directed at snowdrift, but a change to “ailment effect”. We had a brief write-up about this here: September 2022 Development Update

Offline will be fully offline. This has been a very strong request from the community which we agreed to. We don’t want to put asterisks next to it.

We had previously raised the possibility of intermittent check-ins to maintain some of the connective functionality for offline mode, and it was quickly shut down by community opinion. Offline mode will be fully offline.

0.9.1 Patch Notes

Rising Flames, Patch 0.9.1, is coming 2023-05-25T16:00:00Z!

Rising Flames 0.9.1 Overview by Game Director, Judd Cobler

Welcome everyone to the Patch Notes for Beta Patch 0.9.1 Rising Flames! Over the last week we’ve been going over some of the major features to expect in this patch. With a completely recreated Chapter 1, Last Epoch now starts off the exper...

I’m closing this thread as it has devolved into user harassment.

Please remember to keep conversations civil. We certainly understand it’s easy to get heated about something that you care about, that passion is very important. However please make sure that passion isn’t directed at other users.

Welcome Travelers to the final day of the Pre-patch Blog Post Hype Week!

One of our biggest goals closing in on our 1.0 launch of Last Epoch is getting existing content up to our latest standards. These improvements have been coming in across the board: Models, Animations, VFX, and UI updates. Over the years, we’ve been adding additional chapters to Last Epoch, and with that constant pushing of our standards for the campaign, our oldest chapters needed to be brought up in quality. With Rising Flames, we are pushing those standards even further with a complete overhaul of Chapter 1!

We actually looked into this, both as DLC, and as Steam Inventory Items. There was a few reasons. The first was doing it as DLC, Every individual store item would need to be an individual DLC. You can’t ever remove them, or they stop working (and some other issues that arise in removing them), which means if you can imagine many years down the road, that’s going to be an extremely long list of DLC’s. The next issue we found was that in-game currency can’t be used to purchase DLC’s on Steam, which means all the currency coins we previously issued couldn’t be used, which we won’t do. With Steam Inventory, it had the same issues as being offline, in that they require an internet connection regardless to verify, so wouldn’t get any closer to working for a true offline mode.

With the addition of online multiplayer, our plan for offline mode is to create a truly offline mode. This means that until you click the “Play Online” button, no data is sent across the internet. No account login, no account check, nothing. Fully offline. This means offline (which will become fully offline) cannot support connective features such as chat, leaderboards, or the cosmetic shop.

Hello Travelers, and welcome back to the Pre-Patch Hype Week Blog Posts - Weekend Edition!

For today’s post, we’re going to be taking a look at some of the new enemies and models you’ll be encountering in Beta Patch 0.9.1 Rising Flames.

Enemies

Quill Hog

The first one up is a very colorful fellow which you may have spotted during the Reaper Form post. The Quill Hog is a new enemy which will be encountered as early as the first chapter of the game. Like many things in nature, bright colors may look pretty, but more often than not indica...

Yes, with different weighting than normal items (aside from boots)

The most common Weaver’s Will item will be rarer than the most common normal Unique, but not the rarest item. They can also drop during the campaign.

Hello Travelers and Happy Friday!

If you happened to read yesterday’s post, you may have caught today’s topic at the end, “Weaver’s Will”. Like any good cliff-hanger, we’ll be continuing that conversation in today’s episode of Pre-patch Blog Post Hype Week!

Weaver’s Will

Weaver’s Will is a new Unique item type arriving in Beta Patch 0.9.1 Rising Flames. These items expand the roster of item rarities, entering the fray with Unique and Legendary items, by being both!

Similar to Unique Items, all Weaver’s Will items will have a fixed list of effects which will be unique to that specific named item. Where they differ from normal Uniques, is that these items do not roll Legendary Potential, but instead roll a Weaver’s Will value. These items ...

We do apologize, the captures had an incorrect price listed for the Portal. We recognize that caused some headache. We have corrected the error from 250 EP to 165 EP for the Glacial Path portal.

Update: Travelers, We heard you loud and clear and have a new update.

Hey Travelers!

If you’ve been waiting for your chance to put a little extra shine on your favorite hero of Eterra then today’s announcement is for you - Rising Flames brings the beta launch of Last Epoch’s Cosmetic Store and our new Supporter Packs.

As fans of the genre ourselves, we know that Cosmetic Stores come in all shapes and sizes, and so they inspire a wide variety of opinions from pla...

Hello Travelers, and welcome to the second day of the Pre-patch Blog Post Hype Week!

Originally we were going to be talking about towns today, but in a Shyamalan-like twist, we’re going to instead be covering the new Reaper Form coming in Patch 0.9.1 Rising Flames!

Reaper Form

Reaper form is getting a whole new visual overhaul to better match the theme with new robes, scythes, and VFX. We think the visuals can speak louder than words on this one.
