• Fixed a bug where Mantle of the Pale Ox was giving an amount of increased health for the player that was different from what was stated. For existing items, the listed values for “20-32% increased health for you and your minions” will change to accurately reflect the amount of increased health it was granting to the player.
  
• Fixed a bug where Grasp of the Blood Mage’s mana spent reflected to you as damage could set you to 1 health after taking you out of Reaper Form. It can still take you out of Reaper Form, but your health will be restored to full as usual.

Eyes on Eterra

Mike’s Teasers

Build Spotlight

Meet the Team

• I wear a couple of hats that are pretty closely intertwined. My primary hat is Influencer Manager, where I work with content creators of all sizes, making sure they have the information, assets, and overall support that they need. Our content creator program exceeds 1200 creators now, so it's quite a bit of work making sure they've all got what they need. It's not unlikely you'll see me in your favorite Last Epoch streamers' chat from time to time. I also do things like organize interviews, plan Twitch Drop campaigns, and more. If you're watching sponsored Last Epoch Content, you can safely bet I was involved in making that content happen.
  
• My secondary hat is Social Media Manager. The posts you see are usually written by me. A lot of the marketing and communication there is a team effort, and I work closely with Community Managers on a lot of that. And when I can get away with it, I meme.
  

• I've wanted to work in video games since childhood. I always envisioned myself as a designer or director, or engineer. In a million years, I would never have expected myself to land in marketing. Much less influencer management. This may be my first job in the industry, but the industry has had its claws in me for a long time.
  

• I have no idea. I get the vibe that EHG is sort of a special place within the industry, and very much not the norm.
  How do you balance working from home with your home life?
  
• It's pretty challenging sometimes. I genuinely love what I do, and I have a harder time breaking away from work than I do fighting distractions. The trick is to log out of Steam.
  How do you balance creativity with practical constraints like time, budget, or technical limitations?
  
• That's probably the hardest part of the work. Marketing, whether it be influencer or social media focused, is all creative work. And you will reach practical constraints, often. It's important not to let them slow you down or defeat you. Hitting a wall isn't failure. Failure isn't necessarily bad. These things teach us and allow us to grow. And in the marketing department, it's extremely important to throw your ideas out there earnestly. Even if they seem like bad ones. It's a very collaborative process, and there's a good chance someone is facing similar constraints.
  

• So, this is a great question that I touched on in the last answer. Collaboration is key. Everyone here is here because they have a passion for the work. Everyone brings their own experiences, perspectives, and thought processes to the table. All equally valid and important. Remembering that you are all working towards the same goal is important. Your ideas, no matter how good they are, aren't going to come out of that the same as they went in. And that's a good thing.
  

• I make memes to blow off steam. Some of those make it onto Reddit or our socials. It reframes my way of thinking and reminds me of why I do what I do.
  What kind of feedback from players do you find most helpful or motivating?
  
• I always feel a little warm and fuzzy when one of the aforementioned memes goes over well. I put a lot of myself into those.
  

• Tour of the Erased. One day, I might tell the story of how this came to be. I learned a lot from it. There were a lot of moving parts, and there were a lot of ways it could have gone wrong. But ultimately, through collaboration with the creators, the team that appeared on the podcast, the marketing team, and the community team, it turned out great. And achieved a lot of the goals we set for it at the onset. Even with last-minute changes to the schedule, we had solid engagement and positive sentiment. I'm already planning the next one.
  

• Don't give up. There are a lot of ways you can contribute to the creation of a game. Games need Coders, Technical Artists, Traditional Artists, A myriad of Writers, Marketers, Graphic Designers, Game Designers, Operations Specialists, Community Managers, Audio Designers, Composers, Testers, and so much more. (I'm sorry to any team members that I accidentally left out.) Find a specialty, find something you truly love to do, and pursue it wholeheartedly. Be open to opportunities that might be exactly what it is you want to do.
  

• In the words of Abraham Lincoln
• "Be Excellent to Each Other." I'll see you all in Eterra!

• Improved the experience while suffering from moderate packet loss, which often manifested as desynching and disconnections.
  

Other Changes

• The experience provided as a reward for completing Timelines no longer provides Favor or Reputation for Item Factions. In Season 2, we introduced two changes that created a situation where one could, in early stages of progression, create new characters just to complete these quests for gaining Favor and Reputation:
  
  
  
  • Monolith of Fate’s progression being shared between characters that share a stash
    
  • New mechanic that is able to provide a variable amount of experience from completing quests. We used this with Timeline completion quests to provide a much bigger experience reward (capped to a full character level or the experience value, whichever was the lowest amount of total experience).
    
  
  
  
• Bone Scavenger mimics now emerge to attack players from a longer range, but are invincible before doing so.
  
• Cursed Threads (from the Possessed Mod ability pool) now counts as a DoT effect. It can no longer stun or critically strike players.
  
• Removed unnecessary voice lines from endgame Liath.
  
• Resized Grael in multiple scenes to make his size consistent throughout the game.
  
• Prevented a rare issue where players could load, delete, or create a character while the character list was loading.
  

Hotfix 1.2.1.2 is now live.

Bug Fixes

• Reverting a change that inadvertently caused issues with being able to rejoin Echoes after the player had already died.
