Nowadays, fully priced games can still bear live service trappings, offering additional items or in-game currency you can buy with real money.\u00a0Both\u00a0Helldivers 2\u00a0and\u00a0Skull and Bones\u00a0feature microtransactions\u00a0despite being full priced games, so some may be put off from checking out\u00a0Last Epoch\u00a0if it follows suit. Are there microtransactions in Last Epoch Last Epoch\u00a0costs $34.99 on Steam, but\u00a0it does contain microtransactions, allowing players to exchange real money for an in-game currency called Epoch Points, used to acquire cosmetics from an in-game store. Currently, developer Eleventh Hour Games is selling 50 Epoch Points for $4.99, 100 Epoch Points for $9.99, and 200 Epoch Points for $19.99\u00a0on Steam, alongside more expensive bundles that include 150 Epoch Points with additional items. Considering\u00a0Last Epoch\u00a0lets you\u00a0form parties with other players\u00a0to conquer challenges and defeat foes together, there may be concerns of pay-to-win elements, with some players able to buy their way to\u00a0the best builds\u00a0and outperform everyone else.\u00a0The Steam listing, though, stresses\u00a0Last Epoch\u00a0will \"never offer gameplay advantages by being able to spend real money,\" meaning the only items available for purchase will be purely cosmetic. Game director Judd Cobler defended the inclusion of microtransactions in a\u00a0May 2023 forum post, where he said the $35 price tag was never intended to be\u00a0Last Epoch's only source of income. So, basically, Eleventh Hour Games needs other avenues to make money and pay for development costs. Although, in the same post, Cobler admitted to making mistakes regarding the studio's handling of microtransactions during\u00a0Last Epoch's early access period. Following fan feedback, the conversion rate between Epoch Points and USD was adjusted, so now 10 Epoch Points is equivalent to one dollar, and cosmetics had their prices reduced. What's more, any items available in the store will be sold in 50 point increments, so you'll never need to spend more money than you need to.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/rogue-class-in-last-epoch.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1132115"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2496"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1132115"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1132115\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1132221,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1132115\/revisions\/1132221"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1123619"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1132115"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1132115"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1132115"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1132115"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1132115"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1132115"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1132115"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
