HD Poker now reveals everyone's "outs" during showdown! For anyone unsure what that is, an "out" is any unseen card that can change a player's hand to be the winning hand. These cards are displayed over nameplates and will update as each new street is revealed and/or when a folded player decides to show. For brevity, some outs can appear as a solitary rank or suit. A solitary rank means any suit with that rank will work. A solitary suit means any rank of that suit will work. In addition, we also reveal when a player has no outs ("Drawing Dead") or requires two more cards to have a better hand ("Runner Runner"). This is a toggleable feature from the topbar settings dropdown, defaulted on.

• MTTs are now listed as being valid for decay avoidance in various places.
  
• Player nameplates in first person view have been scaled down to ~80% of their previous size.
  
• Tournaments quickplay flyout will now list ALL upcoming MTTs, but greyed out.
  
• Shown hole cards as a part of showdown are now full brightness.
  
• Shown hole cards from folded players are now smaller and greyed so as not to detract from showdown.
  
• Showdowns will now temporarily render all non-participating players' nameplates and avatars as semi-transparnet to bring more focus to the players involved.
  
• First person hole cards have been nudged closer to center of the table.
  
• Leaderboards "Top 100" tab label changed to "Top Players" and will now list up to 500 players.

• Fixed a situation where "NaN% ODDS" could appear on players not a part of an all-in showdown.
  
• Fixed the "blip" effect in SNG/TB waiting rooms when a new player joins the queue.
  
• Fixed issue with store package popups failing to render their contents after the first spawn.
  
• Fixed crash that could occur when using the DETACH CARDS feature.
  
• Fixed issue where outgoing table invites were failing to show up on (and possibly crash) your target's client.
  
• Fixed issue in contact form where keybinds were being triggered when typing a message.
  
• Fixed issue where an MTT waiting room would declare "players found, creating table..." long before it was valid to do so.
  
• Fixed issue where promotional external links could fail to redeem the promotion.

Added

• Added confirm buttons to leaving & disbanding guild.
  
• Added new gatherable resources to Myrland
  
• Added a few more roaming bandits on Haven

Changes

• Rebuilt the queue system to be more reliable and informative. You can now see your position and an estimate of the time you will have to wait. The new system also keeps connections alive in a better way. Part of this change made the “logging in” sequence longer but just let it do its thing and you should correctly connect. You also keep your spot in the queue for much longer now. If the game crashes while you are in the middle of the queue you now have 10 minutes to login to keep your spot.
  
• Added 2 more nodes to help balance the players better in the world. This makes it so that we can take in a lot more players.
  
• Improve load balance that decides when the server queue should start. This should make it so that the server only starts a queue when it needs to, leading to more players on the server.
  
• Improved the startup sequence for the server to make sure that it has fully started before starting the startup queue.
  
• Myrland queue message is now shown as a popup that you need to confirm in the haven city selection UI.
  
• Increased some fishes strength
  
• Lowered some fish values
  
• Updated taming and domination messages to make them a bit more clear

Fixes

• Multiple crash fixes in the UI.
  
• Fixed issue where clicking the vertical border of the window would be detected as a drag input causing the user not to be able to stop dragging the window.
  
• Fixed the correct vendor value on Clothos animal parts.
  
• Fixed house doors and keep gates playing the opening animation incorrectly while loading in.
  
• Fixed being unable to upgrade your house in certain rare instances.
  
• Fixed decoration mode not activating while standing on top of furniture inside a house.
  
• Fixed instant respawners in Myrland.

Good day Travelers!

We wanted to take an opportunity to discuss a sometimes controversial topic, but a very important one. Moderation. This is normally a daunting topic, however we don’t think it should be. Rather, it should be something we are open about. In that spirit, we wanted to spend a little bit of time to discuss how we handle moderation, and what our plans are concerning it going forward.

Alongside this I also want to provide a big shout out to all of the community members who make up our community moderator team, and all the work they’ve been doing to help out with our community. Thank you for all of your hard work with us helping out all the players, and working to keep a great environment for players to learn and have fun in Last Epoch!

In many games and communities, moderators are scary people who tend to lurk in the background, hammer ready to punish those who fall out of line. That’s not what we want within our community. We have three core principles we follow when it comes to moderation within Last Epoch:

Our moderators are not passive, lurking in the shadows. Our moderators are community guides and helpers first, moderators second. Moderators lead by example within the community. By actively setting the stage, moderation action becomes much less necessary as more players will become willing to adopt the positive environment being set. Our goal is to strive to help the community grow in a positive way, rather than simply address negative actions.

Our moderators engage the community, not shut down the community. If a conversation starts becoming abusive, excessively vulgar, or otherwise becomes too “hot”, moderators will try to step in and reign in the conversation by changing the topic, or if necessary asking players to change topics.

Our moderators strive to be fair and unbiased in action. We provide coaching and guidance towards this goal, as well as providing full opportunity for peer discussion of events. We try to avoid implementing action whenever possible, preferring to provide players the opportunity to chose to be part of a healthy community. However, sometimes conversations can simply get a bit too heated, or a player goes too far in violation of the Code of Conduct. If this occurs, our moderators will take all reasonable steps to ensure fair warning is provided, and that they do not participate in any bias if action is required.

We’ve mentioned in posts a few times in the past helpful community members who help us out. We refer to this as our “Community Moderation Team and Beesfriends” (name to be finalized). This team is comprised of handpicked players who have gone above and beyond within the community to make it a great place for new and experienced players alike. These players operate on a completely volunteer basis, out of their passion for the game and its community. Because of this, we do have zero tolerance for any abuse targeting these volunteer members (as we do any players).

These community members often already follow the first two principles of our moderation principles before joining the team, and are then empowered to implement short actions in the third principle when necessary. Whenever an action is taken by one of or moderators, a report is automatically generated and submitted to us so we can provide oversight and guidance to our moderation team. Any time a more severe moderation action may be required, it is discussed with EHG staff and implemented directly by EHG if deemed necessary. Though because we’ve had such a great community with all of you, this has rarely been necessary.

Currently, for all players, to report another player it requires directly submitting a support ticket with information regarding the event. Going forward, we want to provide all players more power in shaping their community. With the new chat system being developed alongside multiplayer, all players will have the power to report users in game. This chat system will also provide further utility for our team in regards to moderation such as helping clarify when someone is an appointed community moderator or a member of the EHG team.

Further, we provide a route for all players to be able to dispute a moderation action. If you believe an action was taken against you incorrectly, you can submit a support ticket and the action will be reviewed directly by EHG staff. Even in the event it was a staff member who implemented the action, it will not be touched by the person who implemented the action to ensure a fair review.

By having a community moderation team rather than solely an in house moderation team, we also help ensure that we are never ‘pushing an agenda’, or biasing our community’s conversations. Moderation action is never taken for criticizing EHG or our policies. This allows for a healthy community in which all members feel welcome and able to participate in. Our community moderators are also allowed to put forward other community members to join the team, helping to keep this self regulation within moderation to prevent a overarching bias to actions.

However, this is not to say that the community moderation team is completely autonomous. All community moderators are expected to follow the same Code of Conduct as all other players, and do have a set of guidelines to follow in their actions. The team is provided support directly by us here at EHG, providing oversight as well to ensure there’s no abuse of power within the community moderation team, and that the three core principles are being maintained.

Most Importantly, this approach to moderation is that the first two core principles don’t require any sort of special power. It’s something any community member going above and beyond is capable of. It is important to us to be involved in the community, and the community involved with us, as all of us not only come from it, but are still a part of it.

As the player base continues to expand, so will our efforts in this. With multiplayer on the not so distant horizon, we are looking to expand our community moderation team including in game, Discord, Steam, Forums, and on our official Reddit. Reddit in particular we want to be as hands off in moderation as possible to ensure the integrity of discourse there, that it is always fair, and completely unbiased. For in game, we’re looking to expand our roster of community moderators to assist our global community in different languages.

If you’re interested in joining our community moderation team, here’s a general outline of what we would be looking for:

• No history of moderation actions in the LE community
  
• Preference given to players with longer tenure / more consistent activity within the community
  
• Either generally helpful within the community such as answering questions for new players, or discussing friendly topics in chat without pushing the Code of Conduct. Let us know how you participate in the community!
  
• Preference would be given to players which are online with a regular frequency. There are no obligations or schedules for our moderation team, but we would be looking for members who will be able to regularly help with the community.

If you feel like you would make a good fit for our community moderation team, please submit your application as a support ticket.

Looking forward to seeing you all in game, and may the bees guide your drops!
