Great answers.
I bought the game back in August of 2020 to support you guys and have just been waiting for years for 1.0 to play it lol
Excited to try it out!
thanks :) a lot has changed since then lol

Is the current offline mode (still connected to chat servers and such, but all character and account progression is stored locally and the game is played locally) staying, or is that being phased out for the new fully offline mode? Assume it's staying but just want to make sure.
I'm not actually sure, I know you can access offline characters even if you start the client with online capabilities enabled. But once you're in, I'm not sure if it will even try to use any networked services if you're playing offline. I just checked in the editor (which is not quite the same as a proper build). It does still let me open chat but if I open the leaderboard it just says nope, you're offline.
It's a neat idea and I kinda alluded to something like this in an interview I just did. Afterwards I realized a couple big problems with something like this though.
It adds a burden of optimal play that will force players to play in a way that they don't enjoy in order to be optimal.
We can't ever reduce a character's level. So once you do hit lvl 100, this just becomes a flat boost and farming becomes "sub-optimal" until you hit 100. Suddenly the rhetoric is that the game doesn't really start until you hit 100. This isn't an MMO, we want the end game to start pretty early still. That's why the first monolith is only level 55.
How much traffic can the on-prem servers can support?
I don't know. It's kind of a tricky question to answer though. Even if I did know, in order for the information to be useful you'd need to know how much traffic each client drives to the server at peak and average. Then we would also need to look at the cpu and memory usage per client and capacities of the systems and check how many servers (software) could run on each server (hardware).
It's a lot that goes into creating a global server fleet. I'm just one of the gameplay developers so people who are way smarter than me actually handle all this. I just know enough to be dangerous if I were in there making changes to the servers.
Sorry man I don't just trust me bro randos on the internet.
So you personally checked the Last Epoch code?
Could you post the issues with the code here and maybe link it to your GIT and tag the devs you might be the one person outside the team that has solve every issue of the game. It's so strange that you have all this knowledge of the game yet you don't want to contact the devs and help them make the game better ...... /u/ekimarcher
We don't really have a rule about being wrong so I can't delete the post or anything. And a couple comments up, they do make a good point in that a couple minute loading screen (under expected conditions) is not really acceptable.
I would suggest that we might be seeing an almost traffic light time dilation effect happening. Sometimes getting stuck at a few second stop light can feel like many times longer if you're in a hurry. I'm not saying that they are misrepresenting, intentional or not, the transition time but minutes of loading time is technically potentially possible. It would be a very outside case from what we can tell.
I think that it's easy to feel like if it's this bad for you then it's probably even worse for others or that this is the average or something.
I will however, defend our code base as I do not believe it to be a rushed mess at all. It's not perfect and probably never will be. I'm sorry but I think the best we can do is just ignore t...
Read moreChat, ladder, multiplayer, merchant's guild and cosmetics are all the features which will not available in 1.0 offline mode.

Well get ya next time ya cheeky bugger. You'll slip one day!
Never!
If I happen to be browsing the store and see some item I think a friend might like but they aren't online it would be nice to purchase it immediately in case it's been bought up before they get back online. At which point I could gift it to them.
Yes, that works.
I don't recall hearing any wild breaking news or reveals but I did appreciate Darth particularly for asking a lot more about EHG's philosophy on various ARPG common topics rather than specifics about what is and isn't in the game and why.
Good interview overall!
I came very close at one point but caught myself. Don't think I leaked anything, sorry.
Sorry didn't understand it (woops) thanks for the correction can't wait for 1.0
No worries at all, it's a lot to keep track of. I'm trying to keep the info available as precise as possible but it's an uphill battle.
My mistake but the general theme of my comment still applies.
Devs are working on things, relax and let them work shit out. Report bugs the official way and quit whining on reddit.
Yup :)
Dev said yesterday that this is addressed in 1.0 also this is t an issue with the servers it's an issue with the UI not properly communicating the the zone should be loading.
I think I read the dev response correctly.
That's a comment from me you're referring to there. The post I said that in was a different issue. We have improvements for this issue that they are having too but this one is a little more complex and the easiest way to describe it is a "netcode issue". The issues get conflated a lot.
There's likely no way to push just this change, which is almost certainly a number of smaller changes throughout the infrastructure, and even if there was, that would need lots of testing to make sure it works the same on 0.9 as on 1.0. With a release coming up, they're probably not spending a lot of time backporting fixes to the version we have access to, and they shouldn't.
Big yup.
Guess what though, the devs have said this isn’t even a server issue, it’s a UI issue. They’ve also said it’s been fixed.

Ty man.. I didn't know the top story line quest would be the most recent higher level one. I think I went around backwards too much to complete the passive and idol quests and got lost to where I should be at
I'm not sure if it's the highest level one but the top quest in the list should be a main quest.
I'm sorry but it will not run on that directly.
Edit: You might be able to get it booted up but it's going to be rough. Leave the rest of your system specs for a more specific answer.
Thank you for responding! It's nice to hear the dev feedback. It sounds like the servers aren't the issues of groups of 2, 3, 4 people rubber banding, lagging, invisible enemies, enemies not walking, invisible floors, etc.
Does EHG think those issues will be fairly resolved with the release of 1.0 or shortly after?
Mainly asking as I got a few friends to buy the game and play. They stopped because of issues noted above. I try and watch Aaron ARPG often and it seemed like he would still encounter some of these issues.
Those issues are affected by so many factors that I can't say for certain if they are going to be fixed for any particular individual or not. Some of those issues are related to each other. They are fixed for me but that doesn't really help you. Multiplayer stability and performance is our main priority and we will continue to make improvements wherever we can going forward.
Hey do you possibly have an estimate on how many builds you've played so far? On that note I'm curious, do you currently play LE a lot outside of the weekly streams or do you rather keep it under control to not burn out? I bet you've played the latest Poe league ;)
In LE? No idea, 100? I don't play as much as I'd like outside of my streams. I usually hop on for a couple hours a night. I've actually been playing OOT Randomizer for fun lately. Finally just got ISG working reliably.
I think it's possible that trade will enable a lot of new possibly bizarre and niche builds, as you may be able to get your hands on weird affix combinations and items in general.
I think that's a really good point. People might be undervaluing the specificity of items that you'll be able to find in rares and exalteds at the bazaar.
Bro, you guys are doing a good job. I saw Ziz's reaction to your latest video update and the game looks like it has moved forward by leaps and bounds since I last played it.
Every game has server issues at launch when there's a huge buzz and hype around it. What it comes down to imo, is how responsive you guys are with fixes and how rapidly and effectively you communicate updates to players.
People who don't understand that, you shouldn't be worrying about pleasing them. Just keep your heads down and work.
Thanks :)
