Hey mate,

That’s on me. I apologize. All I saw was the part about purchasing on March 9th, and not the 2021 bit. My bad.

@Wick_EHG - Can we help him out?

Hello Gattaca,

Unfortunantely the promotion for the backpack was purchases had to be made BEFORE the 0.9.0 launch. Which means if you purchased on the day of, it would have been to late.

Optimization

• Fixed issues with scene transitions and matchmaking sessions.

Notes

This is a relatively smaller patch designed to address issues we were seeing with SQP Matchmaking involving scene transitions.

This patch will go live at 11am CT.

Some things we are currently working on:

• Dungeon boss door not always working (we apologize for this taking so long)
• Monolith Echoes occasionally breaking when playing as a Forge Guard
• Using a skill you don’t meet the weapon requirements for lo...

No worries.

I am with you, and some of your points are valid, to be fair. I think what you are describing is an issue that is a larger issue in the industry and hobby. There are just too many games. Even in things like a niche genre, its REALLY hard for a game to break through the noise, and often times, something you would have absolutely jumped at, just doesn’t even make it to your radar until its too late.

Personal anecdote, I am a huge Tabletop Roleplayer. I’ve been GM’ing games for decades.

It’s really frustrating the amount of awesome Kickstarter, or early adopt programs I miss that I would have supported, simply because there are soo stinking many.

We are at a point with GenCon (for those of you who know), that its very easy to miss a great game, or multiple great games, simply because there are not enough hours in the day to take a look at them.

Hey folks - EHG_Steve here. I am the marketing person for Eleventh Hour Games and Last Epoch.

I wanted to pop in and address this because there are definitely multiple ways this can be interpreted, but it’s important to know what our goal/intent was as well.

First, it was absolutely our intent for the Travelers Backpack to be our way of saying Thank You to those who had supported us in previous years. We were coming off of the most extended delay between patches (with it having been a year between significant content updates), and we wanted to create something for the community that was specific and special to that community.

Second, there are those who would choose to pick up the game because of this special MTX, as it was the first time we had done something like this specifically. Pretty much anytime a company offers a thing, there are those who are going to want it. This is the reason we chose to advertise it. It was less about us wanting to create FOMO and ...

Hey Polish Travelers!

We are working on figuring out a fix for this. We apologize for the delay here, but it’s definitely something that is taking a bit of time to figure out. As soon as we have more info we will let you know.

Hello Travelers!

Yesterday we announced our 500,000 units sold milestone, and today we present to you a gift from the entire Last Epoch team!

Introducing, the Traveler’s Backpack.

This exclusive gift is our way of thanking you, and commemorating our shared journey with all of you who were with us from the start and those of you who are joining us just before we step into the world of Eterra together.

Spoiler Warning - Below is a list of each item on the backpack itself.

Lol. Alex and I got ahold of Wombo a few weeks ago and started having ourselves a grand time.

It does not.

Today we have an exciting announcement to share with you: Last Epoch has sold 500,000 copies!

As a studio and game that has grown from a passion project to Kickstarter, to alpha and early access, and now being three weeks away from releasing our biggest milestone yet, Multiplayer Beta, we can’t even begin to express how grateful we are for the support our community has provided. For those of you who have been with us since the beginning, we see you and hear you, and we thank you for believing in us. For those of you who have joined us recently, welcome to Eterra, we’re so glad you’re here, and we can’t wait to see you online on March 9th.

As a special thank you to the community, we’ve prepared a gift for you. Tune in for tomorrow’s announcement to check it out!

Yup. We have a full deep dive coming later in the week.

Like the title states, we have a date!

We have more details coming later this week that include a bit of a dive into what we have been working on, and where we are headed!

My comment about “You don’t know what you don’t know” was not related to the community. It’s a common expression that means, “You can’t know to watch out for things that you don’t know are coming”.

In this case, I was referring to EHG and the development of Last Epoch. We are expecting to run into roadblocks that we didn’t know about because we haven’t previously experienced them.

Truth.

I think the bigger problem is the idea that any intentionally misleading communication has occurred. That is the crux of interpretation and most forms of communication. No matter how clear you are on something, someone will misconstrue it.

I can assure you that everyone here considers everything we say, does our best to communicate as clearly as possible, and, quite frankly, is very open/honest when it comes to communication.

We do all of that because we do care. A LOT.

I quit a career of 10+ years to come work for EHG because of their passion, commitment, and how much integrity they have. I realize that being on the outside looking in, you only get so much, but it’s been a huge breath of fresh air coming to EHG with how honest they are.

We definitely hear you. We do have plans.

But, like others have said, we would rather deliver a product we are proud of than hit an arbitrary date.

Believe me, we know about PoE Leagues and D4, etc. We agree...
