Last Epoch is rock solid and doing Early Access correctly. So far this game has shown no signs of the devs just up and abandoning it like so many Early Access games.

It still has a long way to go though. While I like the class setup and stuff the combat feels very lack luster and non-impactful. I've recently gone back to playing Wolcen of all things. Kinda always enjoyed the combat in that game and it scratches that itch for me.

Not sure if the game desires a sticky still, it's a trainwreck, but not really a funny trainwreck.

One of my biggest hurdles to enjoying this game, for me, is enchantments only lasting 30 seconds. My brain just did a complete stop on how something that is a permanent in the card game is only 30 seconds in this steaming pile. Out of everything else that should make me just walk away from this game, the enchantment duration is what's actually doing it.

What did it for me was the daily quests. Specifically, getting ones that I can't actually do ("complete a story mission while summoning 10 creatures that cost more than 5 mana"; the most expensive creatures I have all cap out at 5), and realizing that I'd have to do 2 weeks of them in one zone to start getting what I want out of it, with nothing that looks fun in the meantime.

Doing skirmishes on expert and master difficulty gives daily exp for that region with no limit on how much you can earn, so you can greatly speed up the daily quest progress.

This game is significantly less poo poo on higher difficulties. It's still poo poo, but it has a firm consistency and comes out clean rather than the 90-degree diarrhea spray of the early game. I'd actually buy the battle pass if I thought this game would be around in a year.

I was watching some gameplay footage and the minions in this game look super dumb. You'd kinda think that with Magic being all about summoning stuff that they'd at least get the minion AI right.

The green deck starts with a giant 6/6, ten mana Baloth creature and it spends literally two thirds of the time turning in place trying to face a new enemy, then doesn't move anyway because it can't find a path.

You can, but it doesn't work worth a poo poo and you're better off leaving them to their own devices. Eg: the mobs all have collision with each other and if you have too many and they're all trying to circle the same thing half your stuff will be constantly out of range circling around what you want them to attack.

They can run on real slim margins for years but almost nobody has good things to say about Legends right now and while that's not a guaranteed death knell it's not a good look. That said, if anyone were to keep a barely played, barely profitable game open it'd be Cryptic. Champions Online is solid proof of that and Cryptic does seem to have hit on a whale hooking model that works for them. Orv fucked around with this message at 03:29 on Apr 3, 2021 |

It has, at best, two or three dozen whales, but it keeps going because it has essentially free hosting.

Marvel Heroes died because of profits not meeting licensing costs, right? Wouldn't this be subject to the same pressures? Obviously, MTG would be cheaper than Marvel, but we'd also have to expect that this game has a small and rapidly falling user base.

So really the only way this could fall prey to that would be through gross negligence coupled with MTG's profile rising so astronomically between the creation of the game and the renewal point that they can just punt it by the wayside. Only one of those things seems likely, tbf.

IMHO the real reason Marvel cut ties was because Gazillion missed a movie tie-in event and did a half-assed job on two others. This is kind of a no-brainer since 99% of Marvel's income nowadays comes from the movies.a dude posted:who's this about When Brevik left as CEO, they hired this dude named Dave Dorhman, who is definitely a sex pest and maybe a rapist.

I think there is a chance, slim but possible, that in a couple years this is a solid ARPG with a bunch of content. I do not expect that to be the case, though.

The investment sexual predator guy was brought on because the game was dead. It was already run into the ground and Disney had declined to renwe license(in private) before he showed up. His cash infusion(and license renewal) kept the game alive a little while longer while they tried to pivot to consoles. When that failed, it was over. And according to people who worked there, Disney absolutely knew about the allegations and did not give a single gently caress.  The only problem was that they still weren't making enough money so the license wasn't renewed a second time.MH: the game so nice it died twice.

The business case is that several other more successful free to play games shuttered their doors and this is off to a very bad start. There may be the possibility they have enough in the tank to redo it and make it good but that's an exception. Even as rough as Marvel Heroes (which a lot of us trying this came from) was at launch, it wasn't this bad...

If Cryptic has any real strength as a studio, it's that they have somehow figured out how to keep a growing stable of low budget, unpolished, unpopular online games running profitably for over a decade. How many of Champions Online or Star Trek's contemporaries not called Final Fantasy or Warcraft are still running? I don't know what kind of literal voodoo they employ to keep shuffling forward their army of unliving zombie games, but they're beating the odds. I genuinely have no idea what will happen with Magic in the long run. I mean I feel pretty certain that they will never make it good, but I would not be surprised if it still manages to make money for them.
