Last Epoch is an ARPG for those who lack the PhD needed for PoE but don't want to play the Blizzard's kindergarten simulator D4.
Unfortunately the Developers EHG made some people that have never experienced a shit tier PoE launch big mad this week when they released the full 1.0 game on Tuesday and had massive server instability until yesterday.
Here are some of the common complaints:
General server shit storm. Load times between zones were upward of 5 minutes at one point. Inability to access online mode was common.
Characters disappearing from both online and offline play modes, which was temporary but caused massive sneed.
There was some bizarre "referral" program where you referred people in game to get a Bee pet. So as expected every post in global chat and reddit were people asking for referrals. Finally they just gave bee pets to everyone.
And this resulted in a general shitflinging on both the official groomercord and reddit between people simping for the unironic version of the "tiny indie studio" meme and others reporting EHG to the Hague for warcrimes.
Also several other hilarious bugs like HC characters dying during load:
In general the slap fighting has been hilarious:
For anyone wondering the game is pretty good and I believe servers, at least in the US are stable now JK tried now and load times are touch and go. The endgame is a bit light compared to maps in PoE but I suspect it'll have the same content creep over the new seasons.

I don't personally care that they fricked this up for the first week, because I have a life and got to go touch grass (got to see a man nearly die this Friday, and got a cool hat) instead of playing when the servers were worthless.
EHG are still frickups and their "small indie" simps are pathetic. EHG are going to have to learn how to polish shit up or else they'll never win back the "1.0" (kek, it doesn't even have a complete
excuse plotcampaign yet) buyers who got burned by the server failure.Jump in the discussion.

Wait, it has no complete campaign?

I think EHG saw what PoE and Grim Dawn got away with in their "1.0"s, and ran with that.
Unfortunately, because the devs are Redditors, they cargo culted it: in PoE, you got to kill Dominus - the guy who exiled your char to Australia - by the time they declared "1.0," so your char can be said to have achieved "victory". In Grim Dawn, the Aetherials are more of a doomsday plot device than a confrontable foe, so the main campaign switching to being about fighting Chthon cultists (spooky meaty evil guys instead of Aetherial spooky glowing green crystal ghosts), while awkward, did leave the "1.0" game with some feeling of resolution: "the Aetherials are still here, but at least we stopped a doomsday cult from getting the world eaten by a different Elder God!"
Last Epoch just has a snake fursona send you to the more depressing version of the Restaurant at the End of the Universe (the endgame endless grind hub zone) before you get a chance to kill Furry chicken Hitler (the guy who puts the entire game into motion).

Sounds like a mess, at least PoE is F2P so some leeway is possible.
Another one for the "Wait for 60% sale" bin.

Dude I cant even remember the plots to PoE or grim dawn. If you're playing ARPGs for "the story" keep yourself safe.

I'm sorry you operate on such a low mental capacity that you can only remember significant events, and thus implicitly conflate "remembering" the story with "caring" about it
