Quoting: DerpFoxI haven't used KDE in years (since the beginning of KDE 4 to be precise), but I'm curious about what it looks like now. Is this version still compatible with X11? I have no interest in wayland, and honestly, I've heard so many bad things about its management I don't really trust it to be future-proof.

I don't know much about the management behind the scenes, if that's what you mean, but Wayland is 100% the future no matter what happens. X already doesn't even support modern functionalities, so the time to change over is definitely now. Embrace it!

I'm having an absolute blast playing the new Falconer class. So much fun! Throwing bombs all over the map while my bird friend attacks anything that moves. It's a unique class I haven't really played before in any arpg.

For anyone on the fence here: GET THIS DEMO! This was one of my favs from the recent next fest. Such a good game, and I don't even usually like factory sims. Really looking forward to full release.

I appreciate what the devs are saying, I really do ... but I will still be waiting. I have been burned in EA too many times. They can say whatever they want, and again I wish them nothing but success!! But I'll see them on release.

This is easily one of my most anticipated games. One thing I didn't know though: the upcoming launch is the EA launch ... I totally thought it was the final game launching. Oh well ... I hope it goes well for them but I'll be waiting until full release.

The offline modes are extremely confusing, here's my understanding of the 3 different game modes the game currently has:

1) online-online - this is basically the same as any normal online game mode. You can do a global chat, team up with friends, trade, join the merchant guild, etc... Must be connected to good internet and select a good game server with low ping (doesn't exist right now, all servers are on fire due to player demand)

2) online-offline - extremely confusing mode by the devs. If you are in the main menu, and see a server selection with ping, and a "submit bug report" button on the bottom left, you will also see a "play offline" button on this screen. THIS IS NOT OFFLINE. You are still connected to game servers, you can still chat in the global chat, you must still have a solid internet connection, BUT you cannot join up with other players in-game, and you cannot join the merchant guild, stuff like that. In my opinion, the devs just need to totally remove this entire gameplay mode. I *think* the only reason this exists is so that "offline" players can do globat chat. Ask questions, get advice on builds, help on crafting, stuff like that. The confusion of these modes isn't worth that IMO.

3) offline-offline - this is ONLY accessible by launching the game from the steam "play game" button and then via the popup there choosing "fully offline" or by going into the game preferences, and choosing this "fully offline" mode from the drop down menu for launch options. This does not connect to any servers, there is no chat, no internet requirement, nothing at all. This is the normal offline mode everyone expects, but most don't even know exists. You will know you are in this mode if there is no server listing, and no "submit bug report" button on the main menu.

Originally, post the 1.0 launch, my game was bugged and I could not get option 3 from above to work. With the help of the steam community, I found the glitch was the steam cloud saves. I disabled that and cleared all local game files and it works wonderfully.

They are doing super fast updates to the game now, so those modes above could change in the future (I hope they do) ... but at least for now that's how I understand them to work.

Quoting: ExpandingManI'm pretty happy with this game at 1.0. I want to show particular appreciation for the dedicated offline mode, it's glorious. Screw you blizzard.

how did you get full offline mode to work? I've been trying this morning, but every time I try to play, when I click "enter game" it just dumps me back to the main menu.

For me on the main menu there's a clear button to go into offline play.

Yeah, I guess the game just needs more time and patches. I have that button too, but it doesn't do anything. Every time I press play, it just dumps me back to the main menu. Tried a potential fix from the steam discussions, didn't work, and tried a full uninstall / reinstall, also didn't work. I'll just give it more time. Been waiting years! A few more days won't hurt.

Also doesn't help that the "offline" modes are super confusing. There's an online-offline, and then an offline-offline.

Specs and price wise these seem like wonderful little laptops! Manjaro should take notice: THIS is how you do a linux laptop.

I absolutely adore Last Epoch. I've played it to the endgame several times throughout its EA, and now I'm excited to try some new classes, and do the SSF gameplay mode with offline access. This game hits a really nice balance in between the boring simplicity of Diablo and the absurd complexity of POE. For any fans of the genre, this is a must-buy.
