Way to go, Sarno ;)

Awesome, congrats!!

Thanks for mentioning it here! I tried the demo and it really is quite polished for a pre-alpha (reminded me of the very first Wolcen prototype). I subsequently backed it. Let's see how it goes and grows.

I got strict permission to NOT back this until it becomes into a super polished state :_;

Your early supporter logos say this wasn't always so.

Hey there I'm from the team as well, and a long time PoE player!

We're at 230k and that's super exciting! We're almost at the Controller Support stretch goal and I think we can get there. Thank you to everyone here for being so supportive of us!

so When the kickstarter started, there was talk about pvp and the only stretch goal visible were those:



and now we got this:



I had the impression that PVP was already planed since they even talked about it in the kickstarter description. But now it seems it is a stretch goal?


What about that?


"Battle other players lost in the infinite pathways of time by entering the Time-Lost Colosseum. Engage in duels, 2v2, 3v3, 5v5, and free for all combat as you vie for dominance in an arena discarded and forgotten by reality, the perfect battleground for warriors with nothing to lose. Earn cosmetic rewards that flaunt your skill in battle and grow your Pile of Skulls!"


Will you guys make pvp a thing even without the stretch goal or will it be put under the rug for years?

Or am I mistaken and those "pvp mods" from the stretch goal are different than the "duels, 2v2, 3v3, 5v5, and free for all" advertised.

This is a quote from a EHG dev, in LE official forum under "Developer blog" ( I had to copy paste):
"The primary form of multiplayer in Last Epoch is partying with up to 4 of your friends online to take down the toughest monsters in the timeline. We will also be offering PvP in the form of a coliseum. "

So I believe PvP will be there, the stretch goal - unlikely to be met, but you can still support via their forum for another week and it'll count - is to expand on what's already planned...
