Developer Eleventh Hour Games has shared the full 1.0 patch notes for Last Epoch (first impressions), which will finally leave Early Access on Wednesday, February 21, at 9:00am Pacific (12:00pm Eastern). In preparation for the official release, servers will be shut down 24 hours before the patch, starting Tuesday, February 20 at 9:00am Pacific (12:00pm Eastern). While the servers are down, authentication won’t be possible. For those already playing in offline mode prior to the servers going down, Eleventh Hour Games says “you should” be able to continue your play session. However, once the servers are down, offline mode won’t be able to authenticate and log in. This is getting addressed in 1.0, with a true offline mode.
Last Epoch 1.0 is bringing with it a long list of changes. Major features include Item Factions, the Warlock and Falconer Masteries, Gathering Storm, a reworked Tempest Strike, Healing Hands’ Skill tree, balance changes, bug fixes, new music, sounds, animations, models, and more. The official patch notes are so long that we can’t even include them in this post. Instead, you’ll have to go straight to the source if you want to view them in their entirety.
